Building Confidence and Character: Ensuring our children have the confidence and character to take charge of their futures

Poltair is a school steeped in history at the heart of the St. Austell community.  However, what makes Poltair a special place is its young people, this is a school where children thrive & grow.  Our mission is to ensure that every child reaches their potential, we will challenge them to be the very best version of themselves, encouraging them to believe in themselves to ensure they achieve more than they thought possible.

We expect the very best from our students, we expect them to be model citizens in every way, the way they act, the way they dress, and we instil in them the confidence and resilience that will set them up for the very brightest of futures.

Our school mission statement:

We are transforming the lives of the young people in our care. We create a safe, calm, and focused learning environment for all learners to flourish.
