St Columb Minor (Cornish: Sen Kolumm Vyghan) (Latin: Columba Minor Sancta) is a village on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. St Columb alone by default refers to the nearby St Columb Major; both the town and the village are named after the 6th century saint Columba of Cornwall and have churches dedicated to her. The village of St Columb Minor dates back to the 11th century, however a settlement existed much earlier under the Manor of Rialton, it has now been encroached upon by its larger neighbour Newquay. Whilst the village is still an ecclesiastical parish, St Columb Minor is no longer a civil parish, forming part of Newquay.

Treviglas Academy

Treviglas Academy is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Newquay, Cornwall, England. The age range of the students is 11 to 18. The original buildings were opened in the early 1960s but further development has taken place on a regular basis ever since, such as the library, information technology rooms and science facilities as well as the post-16 learning centre. Treviglas opened a new sports facility, The Dome, in October 2001 and, in February 2004, a new dedicated sixth form and community learning block was opened. The SportsHub, funded by Sport England, opened in 2012. From the playing fields there are views to the sea dropping down toward Porth, with the village of St Columb Minor neighbouring the college. As of January 2019, Treviglas Community College became part of The Roseland Multi Academy Trust and became Treviglas Academy. Treviglas was the first school in the county to receive Business and Enterprise status and was awarded an overall Outstanding by Ofsted for the second consecutive time in their second most recent inspection (2012). As of July 2017 the school has now been judged Inadequate by OfSTED in their most recent inspection. The college focuses on core academic subjects and vocational training for students, including Post-16 academies which teach students lifelong learning and work place skills at A-Level. The college has around 900 students. This includes around 120 in the sixth form centre. The college draws students from 13 primary schools, including the town of Newquay and surrounding rural communities.
