Cape Cornwall School is a comprehensive school in St Just in Penwith, Cornwall, England. As of January 2017[update], the school had 310 pupils aged 11 to 16 years. The Executive Head is Jan Woodhouse and the Head of School is Sarah Crawley with Paul Kellas and Danielle Long as Assistant Heads
The UK Government awarded specialist Arts status to the school in 2006. 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.
In December 2010, Cape Cornwall School's History department was inspected by Ofsted and assessed as outstanding.
In May 2012, it was announced that Cape Cornwall School had reached the final four for the 'Cook For The Queen' competition at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee.
Cape Cornwall School is part of the 'Penwith Education Trust' and therefore has 'Cooperative Trust Status', meaning the school has links and shares facilities with other local secondary and primary schools.
In 2012, Cape Cornwall School received funding from The Belling Foundation, a charitable trust from the electronics firm Belling, to improve their ICT suits.
In September 2012, a new school uniform was introduced: a blue blazer with white shirt and blue striped tie. The traditional Sky Blue and Navy tie has been worn since the founding of the school. The uniform was democratically voted for by the students, staff and parents. The new uniform was made compulsory for all 2012 Year 7 students, and is being slowly introduced in other years. Quality issues with this initial blue blazer meant that the uniform manufacturer replaced these blazers for black replacements.
Mrs Jan Woodhouse is currently the Executive Headteacher, with Mrs Sarah Crawley as Head of School. In 2017 it was announced that the Governors had decided to appoint Mrs Sarah Crawley as the new Head of School.
