Welcome to St Barnabas Multi Academy Trust
At St Barnabas our aim is to inspire a lifetime of adventure.
Our ‘Bring It!’ vision requires us to ensure our pupils are excited by and fully engaged in their learning and school experience more widely. We support them to use their talents to create positive school memories with their friends that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.
We know we are successful in our vision as our pupils are;
- happy and confident
- eager to learn
- extend their learning at home
- come to school and share their ideas
- work together with their friends
- achieve high standards
- are advocates for our vision extending it to the wider community in Cornwall, England and overseas

Our Vision at St Barnabas MAT
BRING Courage
We believe life is an adventure that is enhanced when we take risks and try new things. We learn about ourselves and develop our self confidence as well as applying the knowledge we learn indoors to the natural environment. Challenging ourselves in an unfamiliar outdoor setting helps us build our resilience.
BRING Creativity
We encourage our children to be curious and respond creatively to the knowledge they learn using the skills we teach them. In this way they; make sense of the world in which they live, are able to identify opportunities and contribute to our community and society more widely.
BRING Friendship
We believe education is a collaborative process which builds community. Our pupils forge long lasting friendships born of common endeavour and shared experiences. We teach the personal and social skills required for them to respect each other and effectively take on the differing roles within a team.
Our Trust comprises of fourteen schools that work together in three geographical hubs across Cornwall.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God (Romans 8:28)
As a Church of England Trust, we support its vision for education which is deeply Christian, with Jesus’ promise of ‘life in all its fullness‘ (John 10:10) at its heart.
Safeguarding pupils is our first priority. All our employees and volunteers are vetted and trained to ensure our children are kept safe. Adults and pupils are vigilant and know how to report and record any concerns they may have to senior leaders responsible for safeguarding.
A master gives three servants different amounts of talents and asks them to use them wisely before he goes off travelling. Some use them well and double their original amount. One buries his only talent, thinking he’s keeping it safe and doing the right thing – but the master is angry as he’s done nothing with it and passed up the chance of making it grow. (Matthew 25:14–30)
