As we prepare for the new academic year, we are taking a moment to reflect on everything we achieved together across Wave Trust last year. After the well-earned summer break, we look forward to doing it all again this year!
We look forward to more hands-on science experiments, creative art workshops and to growing our own fruit and veg in academy gardens.
We look forward to more collaboration with our internal and external colleagues to offer inclusive sport experiences across the Trust and can’t wait for more challenges such as Ten Tors and Musicals.
We look forward to our Eco-Champions continuing to lead the way on our sustainability journey and our Climate Action Plan.
We look forward to further use of our woodland spaces in Cornwall and Devon to continue to inspire in outdoor learning and connection with nature.
We look forward to our upcoming Wave wide Inset day on 2nd September where staff will be able to engage in a range of subject-specific professional development sessions all to help our young people achieve their true potential.
Our past pupils have thrived through the enriching, practical learning experiences on offer at Wave. We remain committed to innovation, inclusion, and excellence in Alternative Provision. Here's to another year of professional growth, creativity, and collaboration!

We were excited to attend the PRUsAP conference held in Guildford on 20 June 2025.
Back to Basics: For the Sector, By the Sector – the PRUsAP conference focused on shared understanding of the Alternative Provision, drawing on the work of experts working in the sector.
We are thrilled to share the success of Wave colleagues at the PRUsAP Awards Dinner. Congratulations to:
Haydn Pearse of Caradon AP Academy who won Alternative Provision Leader of the Year!
Andy Wilson at North Cornwall AP Academy who was Highly Commended in the AP Teacher of the Year category
Wave Caradon AP Academy who were Highly Commended in the AP Team of the Year category
These awards are a real testament to the hard work, passion, and skill across Wave Trust.
We were also proud to share our experiences and expert knowledge in discussions and to collaborate with Youth Sport Trust to deliver a workshop on PE in a Box at the event too.
It has been an honour to be recognised and to continue to help lead the way and support others across the Alternative Provision sector. It was a great networking event to share best practice. We look forward to using ideas gained at the event too. Thank you to PRUsAp for hosting a valuable and entertaining event.
Well done to all involved.
