About the school
“The school has a very proud history and can trace its roots back to 1904 and the establishment of the Pupil Teacher Centre in Abbey Road. Even in those days overcrowding was a problem and Torquay Secondary School, as it had become, was opened in Barton Road in April 1915 with 170 boys.”
Established school - open since before 2010. Became an academy in November 2010, continuing the school that was already there.
