Within Five Islands School Opens in a new window are five bases, each with their own unique character. Numbers of pupils in each centre are small in comparison to National Averages. St Mary's houses the two largest schools, Carn Gwaval Primary and the Carn Thomas Secondary. Tresco, St Agnes and St Martin's has primary sites on the off-islands.
When off-Island pupils reach Secondary age they are provided with a place at Mundesley hostel (Mon - Thurs), so they don't have to travel by boat every day to school. There is usually an average of between 20 and 30 pupils at any one time staying at the hostel.
The school was inspected in May 2007 and the Inspection report can be found on the Ofsted web pages. The opening, ringing phrase is "The Five Island School is an outstanding school and the children and young people educated there are a credit to this unique island community."
