Pupil Premium

At St. Petroc’s C of E Primary School, we believe the purpose of education is to nurture and develop the whole child: mind, body, heart and spirit, enabling them to thrive and to be the person they are fully capable of being; we believe that no gift is too small to be shared. Through our exciting curriculum we provide opportunities to break through barriers, increase resilience and place inclusivity at the heart of all we do.
