Treviglas Academy has officially opened its newly refurbished facilities, marking a significant programme of investment and transformation over the past five years, led by The Roseland Multi Academy Trust.
The official ribbon cutting was carried out by Floyd Steadman OBE, Deputy Lieutenant of Cornwall and former headmaster, in the presence of the CEO of The Roseland Multi Academy Trust, Chris Challis, local MP Noah Law, and a wide range of guests including representatives of Cornwall Council, education leaders, construction partners KEIR TEC, 3MS, Kendall Kingscott and Cunningham Tylor, as well as community stakeholders, including former teaching staff.
Attendees were guided on tours of the school by confident and articulate student leaders, who showcased the Academy’s enhanced learning environments and spoke passionately about their experiences. Guests visited the new Humanities block which replace the former Elliot Hut classrooms, as well as the refurbished library, lecture theatre, and conference room, before being welcomed into the redeveloped quad area, which was originally the site of the former community school swimming pool.
Guests were also treated to an acoustic performance by music students, followed by a flash mob inspired by the school’s recent production of Macbeth, before hearing short speeches from invited guests.
Speaking at the event, CEO of The Roseland Multi Academy Trust, Chris Challis, said:
“This investment represents our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional learning environments for our communities. Treviglas Academy is a powerful example of the belief we have in creating spaces that enable our students to succeed.”
Headteacher Mr James Rogers added:
“Today is a proud moment for our entire school community. These facilities are already making a real difference to the daily experience of our students. At Treviglas Academy, we have always had heart and soul—now we have the environment to match our ambitions and take our students even further.”
Special guest Sir Floyd Steadman also addressed attendees, saying:
“It’s inspiring to see facilities that will enable students to be the very best they can be. What stands out most is the ambition and pride within this school community.”
Together, these improvements reinforce Treviglas Academy’s role as a hub for education, events, and community engagement, reflecting the Trust’s commitment to providing high-quality environments where students and staff can thrive.
Further developments are already being explored to ensure the Academy continues to grow and inspire its community for years to come.
