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.”

As part of their Science learning, Year 6 have been learning all about the circulatory system and the heart. Today, the children were able to get 'hands on' and complete the dissection of a heart, locating the atriums, ventricles, valves and blood vessels! With thanks to our colleagues Penrice Academy who delivered the session.

St Austell Table Tennis Competition Table tennis is quickly becoming the most exciting and sought after sport at St Mewan, all thanks to the amazing work of St Austell Table Tennis Club and their volunteers! Today, the club ran a competition for some of the Cornwall Education Learning Trust schools in St Austell, where the children played a series of group matches and finals. After some very close and competitive games played by all, St Mewan ended up with two champions. Harry won the Silver Final and Theo won the Gold Final, beating everyone that he faced! It was another great experience for our pupils, all thanks to the collaboration between Poltair School and St Austell Table Tennis Club as part of our PSSP events! #Tabletennis #SchoolSports
