Here at Saltash we are determined to improve the life chances of every single student on roll, developing happy and healthy citizens who make a positive contribution to our local community and to wider society.

We are proud of our school, and we are relentless in our approach to make it even better. We take the education of our students very seriously.

16-19 education at the Saltash 6^th form was recently rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted and our A level results this year saw us maintain the high standards seen for several years.  Post-16 learning is not all about exams, of course. We also run a supportive tutorial programme; extra-curricular activities, including the Sports Leadership award; and the Extended Project Qualification.  Whether you wish to continue on to university, a higher level apprenticeship or employment, I am sure that you will find that Saltash Community School is the right place to continue your post 16 studies.
