Tretherras students are a pleasure to teach and learn with.  They know that a high quality education is important for their life chances and they take full advantage of the incredible range of opportunities and facilities offered to them at school, both within and beyond the classroom.

The Board of Directors, together with the Leadership Team, are committed and ambitious for every single young person.  Our talented and specialist staff don’t just go the extra mile, they go the extra hundred miles for the students in their care!  We are passionately dedicated to ensuring students succeed in every possible way, whatever their talents or ambitions.

Our relationships and ethos at Tretherras are inclusive and special:  we are a family in which everyone matters.  It is, without doubt, a very happy place to be and morale is extremely high across the whole academy.

Our strong belief is that Tretherras is a place where dreams can come true.  We are an inspirational learning community, working together to support our students and staff to become the best that they can be.

As an academy that achieves examination results that are consistently and significantly above national averages, we know it is the quality of our relationships with parents, staff and students and our aspirational and inclusive ethos, which is the key to this success.  Quite simply, we put every one of our students at the centre of everything we do.
