Perranporth Academy will have 7 designated feeder primary schools. These are Perranporth, St Agnes, Cubert, Mount Hawke, Mithian, Goonhavern and Blackwater.
Parents can apply for a place if they live outside of the catchment area, and if their child attends a primary school which is not a designated feeder primary. Where places are oversubscribed, children who live within the catchment area or who attend a designated feeder primary school will have a higher priority. More information will be available once our Admissions Policy is confirmed.
