Bideford College
Bideford College has approximately 1,650 pupils all of whom are in Years 7 to 11 plus sixth form, and is led by Principal, Ms Veronica Mathews. It is the only local community secondary state school in Bideford. The college was granted specialist science status in 2004. Because of its specialist status, it receives extra funding from the government for extending its wide variety of educational activities. In 2010 a £55 million new school was built on the old site and includes a media suite, library, town square, sports hall, and a huge hall known as 'The Devon Hall'. £32 million was funded from the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.
