Educating the whole child: heart, mind and body. Calstock CP School is dedicated to providing an environment where every child feels valued and supported in their journey to success. Set high on the Cornish bank of the river Tamar, we are part of our small but vibrant local community, surrounded by the beautiful Tamar Valley with its rich cultural heritage.
We are hugely proud of our school and all that we achieve together: as staff, as parents and as members of the wider community, we work hard to provide exceptional care and support alongside excellence in teaching and learning. As part of a federation with Stoke Climsland School , we believe that education is about nurturing creativity and inquisitiveness.
Our schools welcome children to a community of learning, broadening horizons, and providing the knowledge, skills and confidence to flourish in the wider world. Have a look around our website, and get in touch if there is anything youd like to find out more about, or if you want to get involved.
