Newton Abbot Grammar School, founded in 1904, has recently been renamed Newton Abbot College. Before 1904, there was in Wolborough, a suburb of the town, a small independent ('public') school named Newton Abbot Proprietary College, later renamed Newton Abbot College but not connected to the Grammar School. The school seems to have been reasonably successful with university entrance. Perhaps its best-known pupil was Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, and its most sensational graduate was Colonel Percival Harrison Fawcett (1867 - 1925) a British artillery officer, archaeologist and South American explorer. With his eldest son, Fawcett disappeared in 1925 during an expedition to find "Z" - his name for what he believed to be an ancient lost city in the uncharted jungles of Brazil.
