Reviews of Polwhele House
"The Small School with a BIG HEART We moved our son to Polwhele House at the start of this year and he is absolutely loving the learning environment at Polwhele. The teachers really work hard to keep the learning interesting, to engage children of all levels. There is a fantastic mix of traditional inside learning with outside learning, which the children love. I sense the Teachers love working at Polwhele (and I can understand why) and the kids sense it as well. Its the perfect size for everyone to know everyones name, which creates a real family atmosphere. I cant speak highly enough about the team at Polwhele, they are building a great learning atmosphere for current and future generations."
"Extremely happy, traditional little prep school in beautiful grounds, my boys are really thriving there and bounce into school every morning. Lovely teachers, animals all over the place (ponies too) and small class sizes. Art is fantastic and they do surprisingly well in sport for such a small school, due to the v enthusiastic PE staff. Rugby (ISA south west champs under 11), football and cricket, but also riding year round, weekly surfing in the autumn term and sailing club in the summer - magical childhoods made here."
"My daughter has been at Polwhele from the age of three and is now in year 6. She loves every minute of school life from stable duties in the morning to after school clubs. Polwhele allows the children to be who they are and because of that the children achieve the best they can whether it’s in the classroom, on the sports pitch or performing on stage. It is one big family that supports each other. I would recommend the school 150%."
"Child centric. Small classes. Inspiring teachers. Every teacher and staff member knows every child’s name and needs. And it shows in the way the children develop. A real family ethos, within an awesome environment. Very high academic performance. Opportune for sports, equestrian activities, performing arts scholars accolades and more. Able to work with learning difficulties and diverse children. The only real option in Cornwall for quality independant education. Very happy to see the school now offering up to and including GCSE’s. Couldn’t be better."
"No ordinary school… Polwhele House is a special kind of school one does not come across often. Having looked at many schools in both Devon and Cornwall we chose Polwhele for its small class sizes and its emphasis on letting children enjoy their childhood in a unique and supportive setting. The children we met at Polwhele were polite, respectful, confident and most of all happy! A year on, we are delighted with our son’s progress and none of us have looked back. Some of the reasons Polwhele House is extraordinary… - It looks like Hogwarts (with horses) - It has its own forest for riding and outdoor education - The teachers are fantastic, they make lessons engaging and fun. I no longer have to drag details out of my son, he is bursting to tell me as soon as he gets home. The small class sizes mean they know your child inside out and can support them whenever and wherever they need it. How much the teachers actually know your child is apparent at parent/teacher meetings where the insights and detail they provide is staggering. - They are small but mighty on the sports field - Polwhele are both Southwest Regional Netball and Rugby champions. This is no small feat for such a small school (huge kudos to the PE teachers who are exceptional at building team camaraderie, teaching the necessary skills and encouraging the children to improve their individual fitness levels). - Rain doesn’t stop them, they play, train and learn outside no matter the weather! - They teach life lessons whenever they can, for example while learning about rivers in geography my son also learned about water safety and drowning. - They offer an abundance of activities and clubs including: performing arts, horse riding, swimming, sailing, surfing, kayaking, SUP, fencing, music lessons, choir, rugby, football, cricket, athletics, cross-country and more - They have a school dog “Rupert” who specialises in mental health Polwhele is an amazing place, don’t take my word for it, check it out yourself!"
