Bodmin College

In 2007, the college decided to change the GCSE curriculum by introducing a three-year course rather than the conventional two years. Students now choose their GCSE options in Year 8, and take end of year exams in the summer term of year 11. The first year of students to do this finished their GCSE course in the summer term of 2010.

The college has sixth form college, catering for approximately 300 sixth form students. The Sixth Form Council maintain standards throughout the Sixth Form as well as acting as the student voice.

The college entered the BBC TV programme Robot Wars, with the robots Roadblock and Beast of Bodmin, winning Series 1 with Roadblock.

The Bodmin College Jazz Orchestra[1] are a group of young musicians under the tutelage of Benji Vincent who play a range of music in a big band jazz style; from Ellington, to the Beatles, to Santana. All the members of the Jazz Orchestra are students at the College. They have regularly toured abroad to Germany, France, Spain, and Australia. The Jazz Orchestra play at functions; fetes, wedding parties, fund raising events, formal concerts and open days.
