Dartmouth Academy, previously named Dartmouth Community College, is a non-selective, co-educational school within the English Academy programme, in Dartmouth, Devon, in the south-west of England. The academy was opened in September 2010 following the merger of two schools, Dartmouth Community College and Dartmouth Primary School. It is an "all-through" academy. Since becoming an academy, it is open to students aged 3 to 18.

Specialisms

Dartmouth Academy has two specialist subjects:

• Visual Arts – specialising in Art and Design, Textiles, Media and Drama, and Photography.
• Mathematics – early entry to GCSE/A Level examinations and attendance at university master classes will be features for older learners who are gifted and talented in this area.

The school states that it aims to reflect a culturally inclusive embryo. There are plans to develop partnerships with other schools, academies, further and higher education institutions, and businesses.
