From the Gorran School
Gorran School is situated on the higher land midway between the beautiful villages of Gorran Churchtown and Gorran Haven. It is set within walking distance of both, in picturesque countryside, with excellent views to all sides, including to the coast. Although the original "Schoolhouse in the Wind" burned down in 1967, there has been a school on this location for many years. The main building of the school contains three classrooms arranged around a central hall. The classrooms are sizable, well-lit spaces with ample supplies. The Elliott building where our fourth classroom is located also houses the independent Pre-school. The school has a kitchen on site, which is a blessing, and the kids enjoy freshly prepared meals in the hall. Externally, we have two playgrounds, a large playing field with pond area and sensory garden, and an outdoor swimming pool a tremendous resource that is used daily in the warmer months. We also have a raised garden area and places where the kids may spend as much time outside as possible while still being protected from the elements.
