Kehelland facts for kids

Kehelland (which is called Kellihellan in the Cornish language) is a small village or hamlet located in the northwest part of Cornwall, England. A hamlet is like a tiny village, often without a church. Kehelland is a quiet place, known for its friendly community and a special centre that helps people.

What is Kehelland Like?

Kehelland is a peaceful spot in the beautiful Cornish countryside. It's not a big town, so you won't find lots of shops or busy streets. Instead, it has a few homes, a small school, and a unique centre that makes it special. The area around Kehelland is very green, with fields and trees, typical of the lovely landscape in Cornwall.

Kehelland Primary School

One of the important places in Kehelland is its primary school. This is where younger children from the hamlet and nearby areas go to learn. Primary schools teach kids the basics like reading, writing, and maths, helping them get ready for bigger schools later on. Having a school in a small place like Kehelland means children don't have to travel far for their education.

The Kehelland Trust: Helping People Grow

Kehelland is also home to the Kehelland Trust. This is a very special place that helps adults who have learning difficulties. Learning difficulties mean that some people might find it harder to learn certain things or do everyday tasks. The Kehelland Trust gives these adults a supportive and friendly environment.

What Does the Kehelland Trust Do?

The Trust focuses on horticulture, which is the art and science of growing plants, fruits, vegetables, and flowers. At the Kehelland Trust, adults learn practical skills by working in gardens, greenhouses, and on the land. They might grow plants, look after crops, or help with gardening projects. This work is not only fun but also helps them learn new skills, build confidence, and feel like a valuable part of the community.

The Trust also helps people with other life skills and offers a place where they can make friends and feel included. It's a wonderful example of how a small community can make a big difference in people's lives.
