History[edit]
Penryn College was established in 1957 in Falmouth and it moved to its present location in 1961. It attained Sports College status in 1998, the seventeenth school to do so.[3][4] A new £26 million building which was completed in September 2008, has replaced the original block.[5]
On 1 July 2011, Penryn College formally gained academy status.[6] The latest Ofsted inspection (June 2022) saw the school retain its status as 'good',[7] following its 2 previous inspections in April 2012 and February 2017.[8][9]
