About the College

Staff who really care...

One of the real differences at Shebbear College is the quality and enthusiasm of the staff. Our teachers all share one thing in common, they have a passion for teaching and a passion for what they teach. Passion and enthusiasm are things we rank highly whenever we recruit a new member of staff.

There are normally around 300 pupils and 25 staff. This ratio ensures class sizes are kept small to enable more effective learning.
