Pupils at St Mellion Primary School are vibrant and positive representatives of their school community. They talk with pride and enthusiasm about their education and their school experience. The ‘Parable of the Talents’ alongside the ‘Bring it!’ vision underpin the school ethos. Leaders want the very best for the pupils in their academic and wider development. Pupils value the dedication that adults give to this. Pupils have a wide range of opportunities to enrich and extend their learning in the classroom. This comes through the ‘adventurous curriculum’ and links with other schools in the trust. These experiences strengthen pupils’ learning about respect for others, independence and self-awareness. Pupils are well prepared for the next steps in their education. Expectations of pupils are high. Pupils know and respect these. Staff model their expectations clearly. Pupils mirror these in their own conduct and actions. They behave well and they have positive attitudes to learning. Pupils show care and tolerance of each other across the age groups. They support each other in their play and in their learning. Pupils, staff, parents and carers say that the school feels like a family. ‘We all nurture each other’, was a comment made by one pupil and others agreed.
