Cape Cornwall School (Secondary - ages 11 to 16)
Not actually in St Ives, a few miles away in St Just - but my younger daughter attends the school and loves it.

Cape covers the full curriculum but has an emphasis on the arts - particularly visual and performing arts. The school is currently receiving substantial extra funding to build on this and become a specialist Arts College.

It has a real family and community feel and if you contact them you'll find everybody really friendly and helpful.
