This is only achievable by working in partnership with our parents as it is together that we enable our students to flourish into what they each have the potential to be.

The contribution of the local community is very important to us all and as a school, we are always interested in the views of our parents and the local community. We are committed to ensuring our school is a valued part of the Penzance community and continues to provide the highest educational standards of which we can all be proud.
