The Cornwall Independent School

The Cornwall Independent School, located in Hayle, Cornwall, is a small independent school catering to boys and girls aged 4-16. With a current enrolment of 77 pupils and a capacity for 90, the school prides itself on providing a nurturing environment that promotes individual growth and confidence. The school’s ethos centres on the belief that children thrive when they are happy, challenged, and supported, fostering a family-like atmosphere where respect for each individual is paramount.

The curriculum at The Cornwall Independent School follows the National Curriculum, offering a broad and balanced educational experience. Classes are kept small to ensure personalised attention, and specialist teaching is introduced in subjects such as Art, Music, and Modern Foreign Languages from Key Stage 2. The school also emphasizes experiential learning through outings and residential trips, enhancing the educational experience beyond the classroom.

Founded in 1988, the school has undergone several transformations, most recently becoming part of The Cornwall Independent School (UK) Ltd in 2024. Despite these changes, the commitment to providing quality education and pastoral care remains steadfast, with a focus on adapting to the individual needs of each pupil and fostering a lifelong love of learning.
