"Wonderful school!"

We have been at The Bishops CofE for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier. The staff are so caring and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. I love how they incorporate our Christian values into everyday life. The outdoor nursery is a highlight for my little one!

"Amazing experience!"

We moved away from Newquay but I still have to say that The Bishops CofE was an incredible school. The emphasis on perseverance and compassion really made a difference to my child's confidence. The teachers were always approachable and the school community was so welcoming. We miss it dearly!

"Some great things, some areas for improvement"

We've only been at The Bishops CofE for a short time, but I've already seen some really positive changes in my child. They love the Little Fistral Nursery and the staff are always friendly. However, I do wish they would communicate more clearly about upcoming events and deadlines. Overall, a good school with some room for growth.
