The school's vision is to provide an outstanding education and ensure that all pupils can achieve their greatest potential and live by life’s highest values.
At Mawgan-in-Pydar Primary School we aim to give our children the knowledge, skills and understanding to achieve to their full potential academically, socially and emotionally.
