Bideford College - A Specialist Science College  
 

In 2003 Bideford College was awarded Specialist Status as part of the national Specialist Schools programme.

 
Specialist Schools Trust
 

Essentially the awarding of specialist status has provided core funding and real impetus that has helped to revolutionise teaching & learning at the College. Specialist Status further helps us to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum & to deliver a wide and balanced range of subjects.

Nationally there are twelve specialist areas: arts, business & enterprise, engineering, humanities, language, mathematics & computing, music, science, special specialism, sports, technology and vocational.

Schools can opt to teach two specialist subjects (such as a humanities and media arts specialism or a science and engineering specialism).

In light of our new school build project Bideford College now has dual status, those of Science & Sustainability.
