Edgehill College sits on a hill overlooking the historic town of Bideford and the attractive Torridge Estuary. Together with its five Houses and other buildings, it forms part of an estate of some fifty acres where mature trees grace rolling grassland and where tranquility can be found at every turn. The site provides excellent sporting and recreational facilities including a gymnasium, all-weather pitch, tennis courts, rugby pitches and a Sports Hall.
A total of 320 pupils attend the Senior School; its size means that it is large enough and sufficiently well equipped to give everyone the opportunity to develop their own particular talents, while the caring atmosphere allows a wide mix of students to live and work in harmony.
Housestaff are responsible for the welfare of students in their leisure time; there is supervised study, hobbies are pursued and there are weekend events and outings. The Chaplain and his wife keep 'open house' for everyone in the College.
Edgehill College is more than a school with high standards of education; it prides itself on tradition, firm but friendly discipline and a keen sense of moral values. The demands of the twentieth century and the changes in family lifestyle and work patterns serve only to emphasise the advantages of an education where qualifications matched by confidence, poise and good manners enable students to make their mark in whichever career they choose.
In the Sixth Form, the students enjoy more freedom and more responsibility. They wear their own clothes and are encouraged to take a lead in many of the College's activities. Most students study three or four Advanced Levels.
