We are a new school that opened in September 2022 and will, over the next few years, grow in size so that we have up to 236 children between the ages of 3 and 11 who all have a love of learning that has been ignited through ‘Learning Beyond the Classroom’. Through out partnership with other schools within our Kernow Learning family we are building a foundation for lighting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning where they can flourish, thrive and form friendships with nature inspired learning at the heart of all we do.

At the very roots of our education is our partnership with the Eden Project where our Nursery children can enjoy exploring play-based opportunities and our outdoors environment. We know this approach leads to significant benefits for children’s health, happiness and wellbeing. Our School values flow through our everyday ways of being – inspiring, creative, active, nurturing, connected and curious and include children, families and our community.
