St
Tudy School
St Tudy School was built in 1863 on land leased for 99 years at £1 a year by Samuel Kekewich, Lord of the Manor of St Tudy. The school started life as a national School for 80 pupils. It replaced the dames school, which used to meet in the clink and has now become a Church of England Primary School.
St Tudy is a friendly school whose caring, family atmosphere was recognised as a major strength in a recent Ofsted inspection. The school provides a broad, balanced education to achieve the highest standards for the children of St Tudy and neighbouring parishes. The school promotes strong links between home and the school and the high standards of the school were recently recognised by the inclusion as one of only three Cornish schools in the Sunday Times Good School Guide.
The school has three full time teachers, including the head teacher. The school has a board of governors with members representing the church, Methodist Chapel, local education authority and parents. There are non-teaching staff including teaching assistants, a school secretary and lunchtime supervisors.
St Tudy School has sixty seven pupils (Oct 09) pupils and is Cornwall County maintained and voluntary aided. Boys and girls are admitted between the ages of 4 and 11 years. At the age of 11 children transfer to Wadebridge, Bodmin or Camelford secondary schools.
The school is in the centre of the village beside the church. Built in 1863 it has been extensively modernised over the years and includes three classrooms, an office and a computer suite. The playground, school kitchen and canteen are situated approximately 100 metres from the school. The school shares a large playing field with the village.
The village hall is used for indoor PE and major school functions.
