We are a stone’s throw from the beautiful beaches of Penzance and St Michael’s Mount and are surrounded by fields and farm land. Gulval is unique, a happy a truly inspirational place to learn. Though our Adventurous Curriculum, dedicated and experienced professionals are committed to making learning exciting and challenging. We all work hard to ensure the children in our care receive the very best education and that they remember their years spent at Gulval School with great affection.
Our pupils consistently achieve results that are above national expectations, they prove that hard work does indeed pay off! We welcome parents into school and value the partnerships that exist between home and school. Indeed, we could not have achieved and maintained our rapid progress without the support of our community. We offer opportunities to meet through a whole range of events including parental consultations, Big Dig days, concerts, sports and fundraising events such as expedition week. We are immensely proud that Gulval School really does sit at the heart of the community it serves. Ofsted wrote that; ‘Gulval is an inclusive school. Leaders provide good-quality support for families. The school acts as a central cog in the wheel of the community. As a result, pupils are confident and considerate and know what it is to be a responsible citizen and contribute to society.
Our aims? For every child to exceed beyond their potential, to be self-confident and have a belief that anything is possible. To believe that they are bound only by their imagination and to never give up, having a deep understanding that we learn through our mistakes. We achieve this through our unique Adventurous Curriculum and Responsibility program, underpinned by strong shared values and simple rules of ‘Ready Respect Safe’. We thrive on the spirit of adventure at Gulval and work continuously to provide our children with a range of exciting learning opportunities and the experiences they need to develop into successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens who are equipped with the skills to meet the demands of 21st Century life.
