Kernow Learning

We are delighted to welcome you to our website.
We believe that our trust is at the precipice of something great; through a mix of collective synchronicity and autonomy, our schools are working together to provide strength so that they can stretch their offer beyond expectations in their drive for excellence.

Our schools zig-zag their way across Cornwall, working together as a whole, but also in small geographical clusters to provide strong and robust support networks. Our schools are unique and varied. Some are small and in rural settings, whereas some are larger and in more urban surroundings. We have schools near beaches and schools on moorland; we also have church schools where the school community embrace their Christian values but provide a school experience that is inclusive of everyone, of all faiths and of none. Every Kernow Learning school shares a commitment to creating an academy trust where everyone can flourish.

You will see from our website that our trust is not insular, but embraces collaboration, innovation, and development. You will find information about how our English Hub supports schools across Cornwall to secure children’s early reading, or how our Teaching School Hub, as a partner in OneCornwall, provides services to schools across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in relation to areas such as the Early Career Framework or National Professional Qualifications. You can also learn about our commitment to training teachers of the future through our Initial Teacher Education programme.

If you are a parent considering a Kernow Learning school for your child, we would love for you to make contact with our schools to find out more about them, or to arrange a visit to see them in action for yourself.  If you are a school leader looking for your potential future partner as an academy, we would be pleased to hear from you and to make time to talk to you about how Kernow Learning may be the perfect match for you. Or, if you are visiting our website today on a more general basis, we are thankful for your interest in our Trust and we hope that you find your visit useful.
