What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 January 2025

Pupils and staff are immensely proud to belong to the community of St Day and Carharrack Community School. Staff know each pupil and their families well and take good care of them. Parents and carers feel fortunate that their children attend this school. They value the sense of family and the school's positive atmosphere. Pupils always have an adult to talk to about any worries they may have. This helps them feel happy and safe at school. The school's values of engage, enjoy and excel are proudly displayed on a mural outside the school. Alongside promoting an understanding of children's rights, these values form the essence of the school's work. Pupils' excellent attitudes reflect how successfully they live out these attributes each day at the school. The school has the highest expectations for every aspect of each pupil's development. The curriculum, behaviour and pupils' personal development are remarkable. Pupils flourish and achieve very well here. A wide range of clubs spanning sport, music, creativity and languages provide chances for pupils to develop talents and interests. Leadership opportunities such as reading champions and sports leaders enable pupils to take responsibility and help others.
