St Piran's School Prospectus

A warm welcome from our Headmaster

I am delighted to welcome you to St Piran's School, one of the most exciting, inspirational and familycentred preparatory schools in the country.

We believe that education is about more than just academics. Our goal is to provide a holistic, wellrounded education that helps children develop into confident, balanced individuals. To this end, we offer a wide range of enrichment, cultural and sporting opportunities, designed to engage pupils in every aspect of school life.

Our talented and dedicated teachers challenge students academically while also fostering their creativity and critical thinking skills. By providing a comprehensive and well-rounded education, we are helping our students build the skills and confidence they need to succeed in all areas of their lives and for the next step in their education journey.

We are proud to be a school that values each individual and we are committed to providing a warm and welcoming environment where every child is known, valued, and cared for.

We carefully select the most effective components from the EYFS learning and development requirements, which we seamlessly integrate into our own curriculum to ensure our children receive a well-rounded and comprehensive start to their education.

Our Early Years curriculum is uniquely tailored to our childrens' needs as we have an exemption from the EYFS learning and development requirements, allowing us to develop and implement a bespoke educational programme.
