Trenance Learning Academy is a mixed gender school providing Foundation Stage and Key Stage One education for four to seven year olds in Newquay and the surrounding area. Our school enables education for 360 pupils organised into four form entry year groups.
At Trenance we believe that every child should have access to the best start in education and not be disadvantaged by any factor in their life. We know that consistently great teaching, immersive experiences and a safe happy environment is the key to starting their life's adventure.
We have been judged as Ofsted Outstanding since April 2010 and since then have continued to secure outcomes above the National figures in reading, writing and maths in both Early Years and Key Stage 1.
