Trekenner Primary School

At Trekenner, we are committed to nurturing the whole child—academically, socially, emotionally, and morally. Our approach to personal development goes beyond the classroom, offering a rich and varied programme of curriculum enrichment and extracurricular opportunities that help every pupil grow into a confident, compassionate, and well-rounded individual.

We aim to:

Promote character development by fostering resilience, independence, kindness, and a strong sense of responsibility.
Encourage active citizenship through opportunities to contribute to school life, the local Cornish community, and wider society.
Celebrate diversity and inclusion, helping pupils to understand and respect different cultures, beliefs, and perspectives.
Support wellbeing and mental health through a nurturing environment, open dialogue, and access to supportive resources.
Enrich learning through themed days, educational visits, outdoor learning, and partnerships with local organisations and artists.
Inspire creativity and curiosity through clubs, performances, competitions, and hands-on experiences across the arts, sciences, and sports.
Develop leadership and teamwork through roles such as school council, eco-committee, playground leaders, and peer mentors.
Encourage healthy lifestyles through a wide range of physical activities, including sports clubs, active play, and outdoor adventures.

Through this holistic approach, we empower every child at Trekenner to discover their passions, develop their talents, and grow into confident, capable individuals ready to thrive in life beyond primary school.

We enhance personal development through a wide range of enrichment activities, including:

After School Clubs: Offering opportunities in sports, arts, music, and STEM to help pupils discover and develop their interests and talents.
Educational Visits: Regular trips to local landmarks, museums, theatres, and natural sites across Cornwall to bring learning to life.
Visitors and Workshops: Welcoming authors, artists, community leaders, and professionals to inspire pupils and broaden their horizons.

These experiences support our commitment to nurturing confident, curious, and well-rounded learners.
