About Penryn College
Penryn College
Kernick Road, Penryn
Cornwall
TR10 8PZ
United Kingdom
Penryn College is a co-educational secondary school for children aged 11-16 and primarily serves the population of Penryn town and the surrounding villages in Cornwall. The college was designated a Sports College in 1998; a Leading Edge school in 2004; and a high-performing specialist college in 2006. In July 2011, it became an Academy.
Penryn College's original site was in Falmouth, where it opened in 1957. It moved to its present site in 1961 and has since benefitted from a programme of continuous development, culminating in 2008 in the opening of its £24m new College building.
The College was Cornwall's 'Building Schools for the Future' pathfinder, and raised an additional £1.4 million to provide community sports facilities.
A large range of activities run before school, during lunchtimes and after school. There is also a 'Schools on Saturday' programme for students and members of the community to attend, with a host of sporting, creative and academic activities.

Penryn's mission is to improve life chances for all the students in its care. "Pupils at the heart of everything we do" sums up its ethos. Respect and tolerance are the key values promoted to maintain a harmonious learning environment.
The College believes that students develop best when they know they are listened to and feel they are working with the school. There are several 'Student Voice' groups to make this a reality, including the Student Council and Charity Prefects.
