A very warm welcome to our school website. I am very proud to be the Headteacher of St. Mewan CP School where we have an amazing team of talented, dedicated staff and energetic, enthusiastic and happy children.
Although we are a large, two-form entry school with a nursery, our ethos is ‘small school feel, large school setting’. Our school is committed to safeguarding children with the health, safety and emotional wellbeing of every child being our main priorities.
Our aim is that children will thrive during their time with us, in a happy and safe environment and reach their full potential through experiencing a stimulating curriculum and wide range of extracurricular activities.
It is vitally important to us that our children enjoy their time at our school; positive and supportive teamwork is central to this and is reflected in our school mission statement.
“Where learning, laughter and friendship are shared.”

Our children have had an amazing time at the Par Track Adaptive Cycling sessions that are led by The Cornwall Bicycle Project CIO. Thanks to the brilliant instructors, great facilities and specialist cycling equipment, our pupils have been able to access cycling like they've never done so before and have had so much fun in the process. #sportforall #cyclingforall

St Mewan Football Success This past week, four of our football teams have been involved in County competitions either at the semi-final stage or the finals! Our Y5/6 girls team took on St Breok in the semi-final of the Chloe Williams Shield event last week. The team put in a brilliant performance against an incredibly strong side. St Breok won the game but we are still very proud of the team for getting so far in the competition! The Y5/6 A team took on Charlestown School yesterday in the semi-final of the Rosewarne East competition. It was such a close and competitive game that finished 1-0 to us. This means the team are through to the Final on Monday 11th May! Our Y4 Girls team played in the Mid-Cornwall Qualifier on Tuesday. This was only the second time the team had played together for school yet they were amazing, not losing a single game and making it to the County Final which takes place on Tuesday 12th May! Finally, our Y4 boys team had their County Finals today where they competed against the top 5 schools in Cornwall. The team showed so much skill and quality, winning 2, drawing 1 and only losing to the overall winners. These results were enough to secure the runners up place and 2nd in the county! This is an amazing achievement and something that the boys should he incredibly proud of ! Well done to all of our football teams and good luck to those who have their Finals next week! #teamstmewan #schoolfootball

Year 2 Activity Day @ Porthpean Outdoor What a day we've had at Porthpean Outdoor Activity Centre where our Year 2 pupils got to experience caving, climbing, laser tag and team building games. The children showed lots of determination and resilience, pushing themselves out of their comfort zone and overcoming any challenges that were put in front of them. Everyone had a great time, all thanks to the brilliant instructors at Porthpean and our amazing St Mewan staff! #OutdoorEducation #OAA

Year 5 have had another busy and exciting day in London! This morning, the children visited a gurdwara where they learned all about Sikh beliefs and customs. They were warmly welcomed and even had the opportunity to taste some of the delicious food - an experience they thoroughly enjoyed! In the afternoon, the children explored the Science Museum and took part in the interactive Wonder Lab. The hands-on activities were a big hit and there was lots of curiosity, discovery and laughter throughout the visit. A fantastic day all round!

Our Year 5 pupils are having an absolutely incredible time on their residential trip to London! So far, they've enjoyed a fantastic sightseeing tour along the Thames, taken in the historic Houses of Parliament and explored Horse Guards Parade where they were lucky enough to witness the Changing of the Guard! They've also had a lovely walk through St James' Park and, of course, a visit to the iconic Buckingham Palace. The excitement continues as they head off this evening to watch Matilda at the theatre - what a treat! We're so proud of how brilliantly they are representing our school. We have received lots of lovely comments about their behaviour, with the captain of the boat saying they were "The most well behaved school he has had!" The children are really making the most of every moment. More updates to come!
