A very warm welcome to St Columb Major Academy. Our school is a large primary school for pupils aged between 4 and 11 serving the town of St Columb and the surrounding areas. We are delighted that you have visited our website today and we look forward to telling you a little more about our school.
Our school motto of happy, hardworking, successful is lived out every day by our school community. This motto is reflective of our Trust's Core Shared Values of Strength, Wisdom, and Courage as well as our Trust Philosophy of work hard, be honest & help others . Together, these things guide both staff and pupils on a journey of success and achievement.
We passionately believe that our children flourish through our close working partnerships with families which we do through maintaining positive relationships and mutual support. We also value the support of the wider community of St Columb and actively seek out ways to keep the school at the heart of the local community.
