History
|
Cardinham is a small historic village on the southern slopes of Bodmin Moor, about four miles from Bodmin. The area is mainly agricultural, with a large Forestry Commission woodland nearby. There are many signs of the village's importance as a Celtic settlement.
Cardinham School admits girls and boys from four to eleven years old. Our pupils come from a variety of moorland villages and hamlets within its designated catchment area, as well as from the town of Bodmin itself and other neighbouring villages.
The school celebrated its centenary in 1982 and the original Victorian building still forms the main part of the school. We use the nearby parish hall for PE, dance and drama. The school has its own playing field a short distance from the main site, with good sports facilities.
Our school is linked to Nanstallon, St Wenn and Lanivet Primary Schools under the County's Small Schools Cluster Scheme. The LEA gives an additional grant to each cluster of small schools, allowing for the sharing and purchase of resources which may normally be beyond the means of an individual school.
Parents are welcome to visit the school at any time - we value our close relationship and believe that it is in the benefit of the children for us to work together. Many parents help on a regular basis in the classroom.
If you are looking for a school for your child, please come to visit us and meet the staff and children.

School uniform
|
School uniform is not compulsory, but is recommended and worn by most of the children. Emerald green school sweatshirts, embroidered with the school's name, are available from school office. We recommend that they are worn with white shirts / blouses and grey or black trousers / skirts (or green and white dresses in the summer). We also have available from school black fleeces embroidered with the schools name in emerald. It is helpful if all clothes are clearly named. A PE kit consisting of a pair of shorts, a tee shirt and plimsolls, contained in a named bag should be kept at school during the week. In addition trainers may be needed for activities on the school field and a warm top for PE in the winter. Jewellery should not be worn to school. To minimise the risk of ripped ears, pupils with pierced ears should wear only studs. Necklaces and rings are expressly discouraged. Watches may be worn at the pupil's own risk. A light waterproof coat should be brought to school as we do take the children out when it is misty or there is light drizzle.
