Prior to becoming an academy in 2018, Treviglas operated a vertical tutor system, meaning each tutor group was made up of students from each of the five year groups. The system had been in place for seven years and had been successful in integrating students of all ages. The result was a sense of community in the college and positive relationships amongst students from all years. However, prior to becoming an academy, the tutor groups have been arranged horizontally, with each form containing students from a singular year. |

The college also has a House System split into four groups named after beaches local to Newquay: Fistral, Porth, Tolcarne and Towan.

Students from these house groups organise a range of activities and events throughout the year to raise money for their charities, with the totals raised running well into the thousands. |
