St Stephen Churchtown Academy and Nursery is a popular learning community that serves the locality of St Stephen in Brannel and also draws pupils from the wider geographical area of ‘the Clays’ and St Austell.
We want each and every child that attends St Stephen to fulfill their true potential - emotionally, socially and academically. We are continually striving for improvement and offer a wide variety of opportunities: educational, personal and social.
St Stephen Churchtown Academy and Nursery 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.
