Paignton Community and Sports College is a secondary school and specialist Sports College in South Devon.
The College has over 1926 pupils on roll, including 285 Sixth Form students, the vast majority coming from the immediate Paignton area.
The College welcomed its first Comprehensive intake into Year 7 in 1992 and first Sixth Form students in September 1995.
Paignton Community and Sports College has been a designated specialist SPORTS COLLEGE since September 2002. Through achieving Specialist School Status the college has received extra funding which is helping to improve provision for sport both in the College and in the local community.
The College gained Sports College designation in September 2002. As Paignton Community College was bidding to become a Sports College, it was also invited to put in a bid for the School Sports Co-ordinator Project (SSCO) on behalf of Torbay. This bid was successful and the Partnership Development Manager works with the College and involves all primary, special and secondary schools in the Bay. In conjunction with Torbay Council using much of the work undertaken for the Sports College bid, an application was made to NOF(New Opportunities Fund) for additional sporting facilities. This bid was also successful and the College was only one of four schools to be successful in securing funding at that time. This has resulted in a much needed new Sports Hall & Fitness Suite being built on the Borough Road site.
The College was awarded the prestigious “Investors in People” award in January 2006 to reflect its high standard of staff development and training.
