Of the seven schools in an area from Redruth to St. Just who are presently being coached by the Cornish Pirates with reference to their involvement with the EDF Energy National Schools Rugby Programme, Leedstown School is the latest to be highlighted..

The Rugby Programme they are involved in is one of the most comprehensive in world rugby, benefiting nine to ten-year-old boys and girls at primary and middle schools across England.

The club's community coach Mike Crump and Cornish Pirates players move from area to area about Cornwall, giving schools an hour of coaching each week in six week blocks, culminating with a festival at a chosen venue.
