From the St Kew ACE Academy
While providing the students at St. Kew with a variety of opportunities and experiences that belie the size of the school, we work hard to maintain the small-school atmosphere, which includes a family feel, friendly and supportive relationships between year groups, responsive teaching and learning that meets the individual needs of children. From a range of after school clubs that would make a school of twice it's size envious, to working with directors from the Royal Shakespeare Company and getting to perform in Stratford-Upon-Avon; from winning national potato-growing competitions and county maths challenges, we believe the small school setting really can offer the best of all worlds. Our children have plenty of room to run around in our lovely rural setting, and our forest school, strawbale roundhouse, and polytunnels allow them to learn outside in addition to in the classroom. All of this is located less than 5 miles from Wadebridge town, where our kids typically transfer to secondary school. If this seems like the kind of learning atmosphere you would prefer for your kids, stop by our office or schedule a visit to the school to meet the teachers and students.
