"Best decision for our family!"

We moved to Cornwall last year and were worried about finding a good school. North Petherwin has exceeded our expectations in every way. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, the dedicated staff, and the capabilities curriculum all contribute to a truly special learning environment. We feel so lucky to be a part of the federation!

"A great school with a lot to offer"

My son loves going to school and is thriving in the mixed-age classes. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the values of the school align with our own. We appreciate the emphasis on capabilities and the opportunities for children to take responsibility and make decisions. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the school lunches could be improved.

"A school that truly cares"

I have very fond memories of my time at North Petherwin. The school's commitment to creating a happy, secure, and stimulating environment really paid off for me and my child. The teachers were always available to support us, and the capabilities curriculum helped my child develop into a confident and capable young person. I would highly recommend the school to anyone considering it!
