St Breward Community Primary School sits within the heart of a stunning moorland village with a real sense of community. As well as being surrounded by beautiful countryside, it is also situated a short distance away from the North Cornish Coast, giving access to breath taking beaches. Largely due to the small size, there is a family friendly feel to the school where staff are passionate about educating the whole child and providing opportunities to ‘Experience, Enjoy and Excel’. The strength of the PTA is a reflection of the parental support received towards the school.
The school is currently part of the North Cornwall Learning Trust and enjoys the support received from the partner primaries and secondary feeder school. The Trust is seeking to join forces with WeST which will further strengthen opportunities for support and capacity to improve.
