Cape Cornwall School is a comprehensive school in St Just in Penwith, Cornwall, United Kingdom, that teaches 11-16 year olds. It is the most westerly comprehensive school in mainland England and is also one of the smallest secondary schools in Penwith with just over 400 students. The current headteacher is Mrs Julie Nash.
The UK Government awarded specialist Arts status to the school in 2006.[1] The funding, which amounts to over £300,000 over four years, started in September 2006, and was spent on an art gallery 'for the school'. The Creative Arts department are pioneering the new 14-19 Diploma of Creative Media.[2]
It was announced by the governors of the school that Brett Elliott was leaving at the end of the summer term 2011 to take up the role of Headteacher at Bodmin College. Interviews by members of staff and the student council decided that Mrs Julie Nash would take Headship at the beginning of the new school year. She said that "the opportunity to lead Cape Cornwall School on its continuing journey of success is a privilege. To have been selected to do this and trusted with its guardianship in the coming years is an opportunity that I am thrilled to undertake"[3] .
