Launceston Primary School opened its' doors to pupils in Reception in September 2021 and is a two form entry school. When full, it will house 420 pupils from Reception to Y6. The school has been carefully designed by our Trust to ensure that the learning environment and layouts enable our rich and immersive curriculum and teaching ethos to be delivered. As our outside space grows and develops, the school will be surrounded by a beautiful woodland which over time will be designed by the founding cohorts of children who join us on this special and unique adventure.

As part of the Athena Learning Trust, we are inspired by wisdom, creativity, collaboration, innovation and learning and are dedicated to providing a learning environment that develops all to their full potential.

We believe that education is the key to unlocking a better future and understand that knowledge  brings freedom - freedom from illiteracy, innumeracy and exclusion from learning. We are passionate about providing education to bring opportunity, choice and freedom to all. 

We are always interested in applicants who are aligned with our values and have the talent and passion to deliver our vision successfully.  You will be joining a team of dedicated individuals who are committed to fostering a positive school culture and community that encourages aspiration, responsibility, kindness, learning, collaboration, understanding and cultural diversity among students and staff.
