Sometimes titled Treviglas Community College, it is a specialist Business and Enterprise College with just under 1,200 students. This includes around 200 in the sixth form.

Music

Since March 2007, Treviglas has played host to music concerts from bands who are from the school to a paying crowd and give all money to charity. These events are known as "Rock For Charity". The concert idea was created by Sam Skinner, Justin Chapman and James Gormley. These concerts have raised £2000 for charity. The idea was then passed onto students Marvin Byrne and Shey Rainbow who continue to organise these events and raise money for charity.

The school has rugby, football and rugby teams. The Treviglas Players (the Year 11 boys badminton team, previously named the Wildcats) came joint third in their recent tournament against other Cornish schools with Penrice coming first.
