Treviglas Academy is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Newquay, Cornwall, England. The age range of the students is 11 to 18.

Contents

The original buildings were opened in the early 1960s but further development has taken place on a regular basis ever since, such as the library, information technology rooms and science facilities as well as the post-16 learning centre. Treviglas opened a new sports facility, The Dome, in October 2001 and, in February 2004, a new dedicated sixth form and community learning block was opened. The SportsHub, funded by Sport England, opened in 2012. From the playing fields there are views to the sea dropping down toward Porth, with the village of St Columb Minor neighbouring the college.

As of January 2019, Treviglas Community College became part of The Roseland Multi Academy Trust and became Treviglas Academy.

Treviglas was the first school in the county to receive Business and Enterprise status and was awarded an overall Outstanding by Ofsted [2] for the second consecutive time in their second most recent inspection (2012). As of July 2017 the school has now been judged Inadequate by OfSTED in their most recent inspection.

The college focuses on core academic subjects and vocational training for students, including Post-16 academies which teach students lifelong learning and work place skills at A-Level.

The college has around 900 students. This includes around 120 in the sixth form centre. The college draws students from 13 primary schools, including the town of Newquay and surrounding rural communities.

The college teaches the full range of core curricular subjects - including the arts, science, social science, computing and vocational subjects to GCSE and A-Level.

The sciences are taught in the four core subjects: Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science. Foreign languages that are taught at Treviglas are French and Spanish across all three key stages. Students also benefit from links with partner schools in Europe and Africa.

Computing plays a large part in the college curriculum, and students can progress to Technicians Academy at Post-16, which delivers industry qualifications together with academic A-Levels. [3]

The college has a Future Prospects programme, which develops and supports those who are identified as Gifted and Talented. Ofsted acknowledged that the college has outstanding provisions for students who require additional support, including those with disabilities, with the Effective Learning Centre (ELC).

At Post 16, as well as the core sciences, students can also opt for Applied Science as well as being able to undertake Animal Care.

Treviglas Post-16 also offers academies for students; the Technicians, Business and Surf Academies.

In the 2013 DfE league tables Treviglas featured in the top 100 schools in the county for their Best advanced vocational results, [4] and the top 10 schools or colleges in the county for Key Stage 5.
