Saltash Community School is a mixed 11 to 18 academy school[2] established in its present form in 1965, in Saltash, Cornwall, England. The school was previously maintained by the Cornwall Education Authority before 1 April 2011, when the school became an academy. In 2013 it formed Saltash Multi Academy Regional Trust (SMART), together with Landulph Primary School. The school is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and it occupies a 13-acre (5.3 ha) site overlooking Plymouth Sound and the Tamar and Lynher rivers.
Controversy
Over the past couple of years, the school has been met with a number of controversies by both media outlets, students and parents alike. These include a large decrease in Ofsted ranking,[3] allegations of bullying,[4] and anti-social behaviour.[5] Many students (and parents of students) at the school have anonymously backed up these claims to sources such as Plymouth Live, with only a handful rebutting the claims. One example of the defence of the school was an anonymous ex-student coming out to say the school didn't have a bullying problem after a scathing OFSTED report suggested otherwise. However it has been rumoured that this student may have been coached by the school to make these statements due to e-mails recovered from a data breech in the schools network in early 2019.
The school is ranked 2 stars out of 5 on SchoolParrot.co.uk, with most complaints being about the schools poor handling of mental health, general disrepair, and ignorance to issues within their faculty.[6]
Multi Academy Trust
The school is currently part of Saltash Multi Academy Regional Trust, shortened to SMART, along with Landulph Primary School. In 2016, SMART indicated that it is currently in the process of adding more schools to the academy trust and plans to become the South East Cornwall Multi Academy Trust whilst retaining the SMART acronym. The plans currently name Dobwalls Primary School, Trewidland Primary School, Bodmin College, Looe Community Academy and Liskeard School and Community College.[7]
