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, because your child is incredible and deserves the very best life has to offer. Through a fantastic range of educational experiences, our priority is to give your child 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 5-year journey with us. We offer an enormous range of enrichment opportunities through our Penrice Plus curriculum which includes over 40 choices from basketball to British sign language.

Students can take advantage of a huge number of trips, visits and experiences planned every year including the annual Curriculum Enrichment Week, where we see students marveling at the Sagrada Família in Barcelona, visiting key landmarks in London, learning to surf on Fistral Beach and so many other things.

As we proudly celebrate Penrice Academy’s 65th anniversary, we reflect on a remarkable journey of inspiring futures and transforming lives. For over six decades, we have been much more than just a school - we are a vital thread woven into the fabric of our community. Our commitment has always been to nurture potential, champion ambition, and provide a place where every student feels valued and supported. Together with families, local partners, neighbours and alumni, we continue to shape not only successful learners but compassionate, confident individuals who are ready to make their mark on the world.

We hope this website will give you an idea of what Penrice has to offer. It’s time to find your child’s future!
