Truro and Penwith Academy Trust is a partnership of primary and secondary schools in Cornwall with the shared vision to improve life chances of all children and young people in our schools. Truro and Penwith College was the founding sponsor of the Trust in 2014 and is represented by Members and appoints some Trustees.
The shared ethos for the Trust is to expect excellent leadership of high quality teaching and learning to benefit all children and young people with an emphasis on supporting our staff in their professional growth and development.
