About

Penrice Academy is a happy, safe and welcoming school community with highly effective support, care and guidance to allow all students to flourish and excel. Alongside the support we provide, we are relentless in our expectations and ambitions for each and every one of our students, because your child is incredible and deserves the very best life has to offer.

Through a fantastic range of educational experiences, our priority is to give your child the best possible chance of success and happiness when they move on to their next stages in education and beyond. Our enriched curriculum allows students to learn broadly and widely, both inside and outside the classroom throughout their 5-year journey with us.

We offer an enormous range of enrichment opportunities through our Penrice Plus curriculum which includes over 40 choices from basketball to British sign language.

Students can take advantage of a huge number of trips, visits and experiences planned every year including the annual Curriculum Enrichment Week, where we see students marveling at the Sagrada Fam lia in Barcelona, visiting key landmarks in London, learning to surf on Fistral Beach and so many other things.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
