St Francis CofE Primary School

It is my pleasure to welcome you to our website for St Francis Church of England Primary School, which I hope will provide an insight into what it is like to be part of our school family. I am hugely proud of our school and all we accomplish together. Our vision here at St Francis is every person matters, every person helps, every person succeeds, so that each of us can live "life in all its fulness" (John 10:10). This embedded vision for our school ensures that, even though we are a large school, we maintain a caring, family feel in which children are happy and flourish.

 As a Church school, our teaching encompasses our core Christian values of Courage, Peace, Thankfulness, Trust, Friendship and Hope. These values complement our Trust’s Core Shared Values and our Trust philosophy of ‘work hard, be honest & help others’.

Our curriculum is enriched with a range of visits and visitors, and we aspire to build our children’s ‘cultural capital’ by exposing them to range of experiences whilst at our school. Children have opportunities to den build, visit heritage sites, rock pool, experience water sports, camp overnight, go down into a mine, challenge themselves on an adventure residential, go to the theatre, visit a city outside of Cornwall, go to the Science Museum, visit a University, and so much more. These opportunities provide fun and memorable learning experiences, whilst demonstrating to our children all the opportunities that are afforded to them. The sky really is the limit and we want our children to leave us believing they can achieve.

Our website can only show you a small snapshot of life at our school and therefore we would love for you to visit us and see our school in action.

If you would like to visit, or have any queries, please contact our school office team on 01326 211910 or drop an email to stfrancis@kernowlearning.co.uk.
