Penrice Academy is a happy, safe and welcoming school community with highly effective support, care and guidance to allow all students to flourish and excel.

Alongside the support we provide, we are relentless in our expectations and ambitions for each and every one of our students. Our students enjoy a fantastic range of educational experiences and are highly successful at securing well-deserved places in further education. Our priority is to give students the best possible chance of success and happiness when they move on to their next stages in education and beyond.

Our enriched curriculum allows students to learn broadly and widely, both inside and outside the classroom throughout their five-year journey with us. We offer a plethora of enrichment opportunities through the Penrice Plus curriculum, including over 40 choices from basketball to British sign language. Penrice students look forward to a huge number of trips, visits and experiences planned every year including the annual curriculum enrichment week, where we see students kayaking down the Ardeche, climbing the Eiffel Tower, descending Poldark Mine and learning to surf on Fistral Beach amongst many other things.
