Welcome to Okehampton College

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the Okehampton College website.
Our College motto is Nil Satis Nisi Optimum which translated means ‘nothing but the best is good enough’. This motto is central to our ethos as we strive to provide an outstanding education in an environment where a resilient and confident student body aspire to make well above expected progress in an atmosphere of mutual respect. At Okehampton College traditional values, high standards and a strong sense of community underpin our desire to develop successful, well rounded individuals able to work and live well in the 21st Century.

Okehampton College is a member of the Dartmoor Multi-Academy Trust (DMAT). This partnership has given us a great opportunity to share resources and expertise; working together we can continue to raise standards, maximise the learning opportunities for our students and prepare them fully for the challenges that lie ahead.

All students make excellent progress. The proportions gaining at least five GCSE passes at grades A* to C, including English and Mathematics, are consistently high year on year, and in 2013 well over half of A-level entries were passed at grades A*, A or B. OFSTED 2014
