A unique learning environment

Welcome to Polwhele House

At Polwhele House we believe that children deserve far more than just a good education. Our school is set in a safe and beautiful 30 acre site on the outskirts of Truro, giving the advantages of learning in both the countryside and the city. This location means that we can deliver a unique curriculum embracing indoor and outdoor education and enhancing every aspect of each child’s life experiences.

Hilary Mann, Head

We aim to develop responsible, compassionate, dynamic individuals, with secure confidence in their own personal strength and a determination to develop their talents and passions.

Our staff are experienced professionals who believe that the needs of each child must be met both in the classroom and outside. Children have the opportunity to extend their learning, play sport both in-house and against other schools, take part in performances and pursue their interests. Those with a particular ability in the Performing Arts or Equestrianism can develop these skills and even become a Polwhele House Scholar, spending additional time refining their skills and expertise within the school day.

Performing arts

To support talented young performers in the region, the school, in partnership with ‘Jason Thomas Performing Arts’ offers performing arts scholarships annually from September of each year.

Outdoor learning

Polwhele House is set within 30 acres including woodland, playing fields, our walled garden plus greenhouses for the children to explore and receive a unique learning experience.

Equestrian

At Polwhele House we have a wonderful riding school with excellent facilities where we can offer riding lessons and equestrian events for all children of any age or ability. Children can start riding from the age of three on small, steady ponies and progress all the way to competing in our own dressage, show jumping and gymkhana events.
