Students and staff came together this week to celebrate Cornish culture, heritage and language in a vibrant, school-wide event. The special themed week aimed to raise awareness of Cornwall’s unique traditions while encouraging pupils to explore a rich and often overlooked part of British identity.

Throughout the week, lessons across different subjects were adapted to include Cornish themes. In history, students learned about Cornwall’s past, including its mining heritage and ancient legends. English lessons introduced traditional Cornish stories, while art classes focused on designing pieces inspired by the Cornish coastline and minehouses.
