About Bosvena School
Bosvena is part of the Special Partnership Trust, an extraordinary education Trust who are redefining Special Educational Needs in the Southwest.

We challenge conventions, pioneer excellence, and work tirelessly to create better tomorrows for our young people and their families.
The Special Partnership Trust’s intent is to provide an outstanding special school for pupils with SEMH needs; a school which celebrates neurodiversity by accepting, respecting, recognising and responding to developmental differences and thereby shaping the pupil’s educational offer to inform and improve their outcomes.
Bosvena School will be research focussed, innovative and aspirational in its practice where the development of pupils’ SEMH skills are at the centre of our work.
The school will cater for 65 pupils who are aged 4 to 16 and will serve the community of Cornwall.
Bosvena is close to Bodmin with easy access to the A30/A38. The school is due to open in September 2025 and the building works are progressing well.
