Summercourt Academy
Summercourt is a vibrant, forward thinking, friendly and welcoming academy offering many opportunities for educational and personal development. It is my pleasure and privilege to be the Head of School of such a happy academy.
Our dedicated staff have the highest aspirations for all our children and are committed, in partnership with parents, to nurturing and developing children’s learning. Our aim is to promote a positive attitude towards learning and to provide a range of experiences through a broad and balanced curriculum. Each child is valued for their own talents, strengths and personality and we encourage the children to succeed and reach their potential, to have high self-esteem and a belief that they can achieve.
Summercourt Academy is part of the Aspire Academy Trust, a multi-academy trust of 31 primary schools in Cornwall who have joined together in a unique and exciting partnership that will ensure better provision, richer resources and higher standards for our pupils.
