Its role and remit continue to expand with participation in its activities having now reached 90% of all secondary and 82% of all primary schools in Cornwall. The Teaching School continues to develop a growing induction programme for newly qualified teachers with more than 160 trainees participating. Major conferences include the Teaching School’s annual governor conference, maximising the impact of the pupil premium and trust- wide training days. Other ongoing programmes include the Excellent Teacher Programme (Primary and Secondary), a coaching course, teaching assistant training programmes, classics training, digital learning, school improvement, aspiring senior leaders and the highly successful women into senior leadership, which is now in its fourth year. The Strength in Numbers project, which was awarded £486,000 by the Department for Education for improving the progress of primary and secondary school students in mathematics across the region, includes participation of over 40 schools. It comes to an end in spring 2019 and is already proving to have had considerable impact with those involved. Our Wider Remit Callywith College In September 2017, the College opened its third campus in Bodmin, with Callywith College, a 16-19 Free School with capacity for 1,280 students, at its heart. In only its second year, Callywith College is already home to nearly 800 students with a broad curriculum offer including 28 A Levels and a range of Level 2 and 3 vocational diplomas. Callywith College aims to bring the Truro and Penwith College experience to young people in North and East Cornwall, seeking to significantly raise achievement and revitalise the community. Truro and Penwith Academy Trust The Truro and Penwith Multi-Academy Trust was established in February 2014 and focuses on the provision of pre-16 education. The trust has a strategic intention to work with primary and secondary schools in geographic alignment with the centres of operation for the College. Truro and Penwith Multi-Academy Trust continues to expand its reach. From one initial partner in 2013, the Trust has now grown to embrace 25 schools in three hubs across Cornwall. Schools are able to benefit from one another and the expertise of Truro and Penwith College to realise local collaborative solutions in achieving outstanding outcomes for young people. In turn, the Trust works in partnership with Cornwall Teaching School. The designated teaching school of Truro and Penwith College is a National Support School (NSS), led by a National Leader of Education (NLE), to provide bespoke school support and improvement activities of the highest quality in its schools. Cornwall SCITT, based at Truro Campus, provides outstanding, bespoke teacher training. 03 Student Enrolments & Experience Although falling demographics have resulted in lower student We believe that our successful level of enrolments are due to a numbers, full-time student enrolments were strong in September number of factors: 2017.

  • Update on Cornish Foodbanks 20Th November 2020
    FOODBANK UPDATE Update on Cornish Foodbanks 20th November 2020 Foodbanks across Cornwall need supplies of all tinned, dried or long-life food items - with a typical food parcel including: Breakfast cereal, long-life milk, soup, pasta, rice, pasta sauce, tinned beans, tinned meat, tinned vegetables, tinned fruit, tinned puddings, tea or coffee, sugar, biscuits and snacks. Many of the foodbanks also collect: Baby food, baby milk, disposable nappies, washing up liquid, Washing Powder, soap, Dry Dog Food, canned Dog Food and canned Cat Food. The way each Cornish foodbank runs is very unique, depending on volunteers, the building they operate, their capacity, their community and their opening times. If you would like to donate and support your local foodbank, we have included links to some of the foodbanks below; we have purposely included references to their Facebook pages where possible. If you could help your foodbank by looking at their Facebook posts before contacting them, that would be super helpful as these often have the most up to date answers to many queries. Facebook posts often also have details of any financial donation appeals individual foodbanks are running, or for some foodbanks with websites, there is often a direct link to donate money to them. PLEASE NOTE: The mission of Foodbanks is to give out food parcels to people in need. Customers can access foodbanks with a food voucher. Many of the Foodbanks are now operating an e-voucher system but please check how your local Foodbank is operating. There are many wonderful community food projects that people without Foodbank vouchers can access and, in many cases, this may be more appropriate.

  • Richard Lander School Admissions Policy
    Richard Lander School Admissions Policy Richard Lander School follows the Local Authority Admissions Policy and, along with all other LA schools in Cornwall, places on transfer from primary school are allocated by the County team who follow the agreed Common Admissions Policy. The policy complies with the School Admissions Code 2014, the School Admission Regulations 2008, the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, the Education Act 1996 and CornwaII Council’s Fair Access Protocol and offers admission to students irrespective of social, racial or religious considerations. The Governing Body, however, reserves the right to consider each applicant individually. This applies particularly to any student who has been permanently excluded from another school, both within this Local Authority and within any other. Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs that names Richard Lander School will be admitted to the School, regardless of the number on roll in the year group. The school will participate fully in the Cornwall Local Authority’s Fair Access Protocol (See Appendix 1). Children in Care who are directed to the school by the Local Authority will be admitted to the school, regardless of the number on roll in the year group. Our ‘published admission number’ is 270 students in years 7-11. These figures relate to the 2015–16 academic year. It is essential that parents realise that there is always a high demand for places at Richard Lander, consequently once the school year has commenced, the preference for specific subjects in Years 10 and 11 cannot always be met. All applications for school places at Richard Lander School must be made to Cornwall Local Authority.
