We were deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of much-loved former Penryn College teacher, Chris Tomlinson, this week. Mr Tomlinson dedicated 17 years of his life to the school as an IT and Business teacher, and was a hugely proud and popular Head of House for Killigrew. He will be fondly remembered by staff, students and many other members of the local community for his caring, warm nature and positive outlook on life. Our thoughts are with Chris' loved ones at this difficult time.

🐇🐢 Our students have learned lots and had so much fun during their Animal Care visits to Duchy College Rosewarne this year! 😊 🦎 From geckos and tortoises to rabbits and donkeys, pupils have fed, cleaned, handled and cared for lots of animals with expert guidance from the amazing Duchy College team! 🙌 💚 A big well done to our students and thank you to Duchy College!
