From the North Petherwin School
Small rural schools like North Petherwin Primary School and Werrington Community Primary School are available. Since April 2012, we have been federated, and we collaborate on numerous projects. We also joined An Daras Multi Academy Trust in January 2016. Due to the staff's familiarity with the students and the fact that students of all ages study and play together, both schools enjoy a beautiful family feel. A close collaboration between the family and the school is something we passionately believe in. We all participate in the ongoing process of education to instil in them a love of learning, a passion for it, and a sense of confidence. All of the staff, both teaching and non-teaching, as well as our governors, work together to give our students the finest education possible. Academic, physical, and artistic talents are all given priority in our comprehensive approach to education. We teach kids to assume responsibility, make choices, and think independently as everyone works together to show care and respect for others. In a joyful, safe, and engaging environment where having fun while learning is a priority, we hope to prepare children for adult life. Our website seeks to provide regular updated information for parents and students, as well as a taste of the schools. We sincerely hope you enjoy browsing our website and discover any information you're looking for. Any questions you may have can be directed to the schools directly.
