South Molton Community College (known to students and teachers as SMCC) is a coeducational foundation secondary school located in South Molton in the English county of Devon.[1]

Previously a community school administered solely by Devon County Council, on 1 January 2013 South Molton Community College became a foundation co-operative trust school, partnered with Mole Valley Farmers.[2]

South Molton Community College offers GCSEs, BTECs and OCR Nationals as programmes of study for pupils.

Construction of a new school in North Devon was completed in April 2017.[3]

In 2018 controversy hit the school when an ex-employee and teacher at the school - Mark Torley, admitted to filming his students in a state of undress with an application on his phone. He was also accused, but was acquitted of sexually touching his students.[4]
