North Devon College is a Tertiary College situated in Barnstaple, North Devon. It sits on top of a hill overlooking the town with panoramic views across the river Taw estuary. It received approval as a Tertiary Centre in 1969. The organisational scheme in North Devon consists of mainly 11 - 16 (age) comprehensive schools although there are two 11 - 18 schools, one at Bideford and one at Ilfracombe. At the age of 16, therefore, most students wishing to remain in full or part-time education attend the College. In addition the College continues to serve the further education needs of a wider area. Very strong links are maintained with all schools and community colleges as well as other institutions, so as to ensure comprehensive provision for both young people and adults in the area. The College welcomes applications from mature and international students. Since 1993 the College has held independent status under the terms of the Further & Higher Education Act of 1992. Accordingly it is no longer under the control of the Local Education Authority and in effect is functioning as an autonomous organisation. The funding body, the Further Education Funding Council, defines the framework within which Colleges in the post-16 sector must operate.
