There was excitement in the air as pupils from Newquay Primary Academy arrived at the gates of their brand new school, tugging at their parents' hands to walk faster, eager to get to their new classrooms.
This is a new chapter in the academy's journey. Newquay Primary Academy is located in the heart of Newquay and provides a modern, inclusive, and inspiring learning environment for children in the area. But what is aguably most impressive about NPA is that despite being housed in temporary accommodation for the first four years of its life, its unwavering commitment to providing pupils with an excellent education, enriching opportunities and support earned itself a well-deserved Outstanding Ofsted report.
After years of planning, construction, and collaboration, Newquay Primary Academy's building is now ready to welcome pupils from age 4 through its doors. The building's state-of-the-art facilities, a team of dedicated staff and a curriculum focused on sparking curiosity and personal growth, the Academy aims to provide a nurturing space for children to thrive.
