Welcome to St Erme with Trispen Community Primary School We believe that every child matters. Our learning is fun, purposeful and challenging. Through our creative curriculum we develop in each child the skills and knowledge they need for lifelong learning.
At our school children become confident learners, who take ownership of their learning and are proud of their achievements. We believe in continually developing our use of outdoor learning environments to enhance learning and to provide challenging new experiences.
We aim to provide children with the confidence and skills to use new technologies safely in our ever changing world. Through positive attitudes and partnerships we endeavour to develop the whole child, meeting individual needs in a safe and secure environment where differences are celebrated.
We promote sustainability and an awareness of wider global issues through our curriculum and take pride in the links we have with our local, national and global communities.
