Welcome to Carbeile Junior School, now proud to be part of the Rame Federation, working in partnership with Fourlanesend Community Primary School.
At Carbeile Junior School we are all extremely proud to be part of such a positive and nurturing school environment that puts the children’s emotional needs at the forefront of everything that we do.
We have a holistic, inclusive environment that fosters a strong sense of belonging. Our inclusion is active, intentional, and with an ongoing effort to ensure that every child – regardless of background, ability, or identity – feels safe, valued, and able to participate fully in all aspects of school life.
Our children feel safe, they feel nurtured, they feel loved and they feel like Carbeile is where they have a sense of belonging and are happy to be themselves. They know that, “I matter here.” Belonging is the outcome of our inclusive culture – it is built in our relationships, our routines, and in our smallest interactions.
Our children are on a journey to a very clear destination. They achieve academically and personally. They feel they belong and are valued as part of our amazing school community. This means they attend, behave and contribute positively to what we offer. And they certainly thrive. Our children benefit from the right systems, processes, and a strong responsibility of safeguarding so that they are safe and are able to flourish.
So many people within the wider Torpoint community comment on how fondly they remember their schooling at Carbeile, and it is now our job to ensure that the next generation feel exactly the same way. Our children need to leave Carbeile at the end of year 6 having had the best 4 years of their lives, being totally ready for the next stage of their education, and having learnt (and remembered) a broad, balanced and enjoyable curriculum.
And from the design of the curriculum (so important, see below), sporting opportunities, trips and visitors, memorable life experiences and so much more, we are always striving to improve everything that we offer the children on a daily basis.
We are positive that with all stakeholders working together: staff, governors, children, parents and the wider community, Carbeile will continue to be an exemplary school. We have an open door policy at all times and we value all links with parents, as working in partnership will help your child achieve their best.
I am extremely proud to showcase what an amazing school Carbeile is and I love showing off our wonderful children, our committed staff and our exciting school learning environment.
If you would like to see all of this in an everyday practical setting, please make an appointment to come and look around the school.
Thank you for taking the time to look around our awesome school (and check out a brief outline of our curriculum below too).

THE CARBEILE CURRICULUM
We believe that At Carbeile our intent is clear;
We want children to LEARN through a curriculum that fits our 8 principles of curriculum design:
Creative – we use our imagination.
Aspirational – we aim high.
Rich – we deepen our understanding.
Balanced – all knowledge is valued.
Engaging – learning is exciting.
Inclusive – we are all learners.
Linked – our learning is connected.
Everlasting – we remember.
- We want children to GROW Spiritually, Morally, Socially, Culturally, academically, and personally.
- We want children to demonstrate a progression in skills throughout all subjects across the key stage
- Through a firmly established culture of pastoral care, positivity and team work we want adults and children to have a healthy body, a healthy mind and to work happily in a supportive school environment.
All of this is implemented through collaboratively planned, well sequenced activities that result in outstanding teaching and learning experiences. All activities and challenges meet all pupils’ learning needs, irrespective of their ability, background, ethnic origin or gender.
Children are given the opportunity to revisit topics to embed and reuse knowledge and skills acquired as part of the scheme of following a knowledge-rich, expert-led curriculum.
The overall impact of our clear and driven intent, and outstanding implementation is a school full of children who make accelerated progress from their baselined starting points in Year 3 and who ACHIEVE in line or better than the national average across all subjects.
