History
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]
