It was founded as a boys' school in 1877 and in 1896 amalgamated with the older Mannamead School , being known for a time as Plymouth and Mannamead College (hence the abbreviation still used for the school). After the Second World War it became a Direct Grant School , but in 1976 reverted to fully independent status. Although it had accepted girls into the Sixth Form for some years, between 1995 and 2000 it became fully Coeducational . There has been an attached Preparatory School since the school's foundation. This accepts children aged 3 to 11 and the senior school educates those from 11 to 18. The senior school accepts a small number of Boarder s, currently having 66. The headmaster is a member of the Headmasters' And Headmistresses' Conference . On 1 September 2004 , Plymouth College amalgamated with St Dunstan's Abbey School , a local girls' independent school. The amalgamated school continues to be known as Plymouth College and to operate on the same site at Ford Park. In September 2005 , the prep schools also united to form St Dunstan's Abbey School - The Plymouth College Junior School; this operates from the former site of St Dunstan's at The Millfields. The school colours are black, green and red. In 2004, the senior school had 608 pupils. The prep school has about 300 pupils.
