Eggbuckland Community College is part of the Westcountry Schools Trust, working with six other local secondary schools. It is an 11–18 College of about 1,200 students with a thriving sixth form and a specialist Hearing Support Centre. The college is described as having very positive relationships, excellent behaviour, and calm, disruption-free classes. It emphasises a broad, contemporary and ambitious curriculum rooted in social justice, trust and partnership with home and community, and promotes its Tick Values of Tenacity, Integrity, Compassion and Knowledge to shape capable, ambitious, and employable students.
Eggbuckland Community College provides Special Educational Needs (SEND) support including a Hearing Support Centre. The college uses a graduated approach (Assess, Plan, Do, Review) led by the SENDCo (Director of Inclusion).
