This has been a busy week full of trips. On Wednesday, our Planet Protectors Club went to the recycling
plant in Bodmin to research what happens to all of our recycling and why it is important to recycle.
They will be sharing what they found out with the rest of the school in an assembly shortly. Year 5
visited Liskeard Fire Station to learn all about safety on the railways; online; on the roads; on the beach
and when using electricity. They also tried their hand at choking prevention and CPR. This morning
Penhallow and Landaviddy Classes had a really enjoyable trip to see ‘Little Red Hen’ at the Theatre
Royal in Plymouth.
More Cross-Country Success
The Polperro team yet again did brilliantly well in last week’s Landrake Inter Schools Cross Country
Race. Congratulations to the children who all completed their races, with or without shoes. Thank you
to Mrs Turnbull for her wonderful team support this season and for running alongside the children
too, and to parents and carers for transporting our runners to each race come rain or shine. An
amazing effort all round from Team Polperro. A huge well done too to Flora who came a magnificent
34th in the Cornwall Cross Country Finals on Tuesday.
Clubs
Please note that there are no clubs next week because of the football match, the disco and staff
training.
Drop off and pick up
Polite reminder when you are picking up and dropping off, please do not park or wait on the zigzag
lines outside school. This is likely to result in drivers receiving penalty notices (a £75 fine). Cars are
still blocking this area causing problems for children crossing the road.
FOPS Easter Discos
Reminder that Easter Discos for the children on Thursday, 3rd April. Tickets are on sale in the office
and cost £3. The disco for Reception, Year 1 and year 2 will be from 3:15-4:15pm. Pupils should bring
a change of clothes and will be able to change after school. KS2 (years 3-6) children should go home
at the usual time of 3:15pm and then return to school for their disco which will be from 4:30-6:00pm.
The last day of term is next Friday 4th April and school will finish at 1:30pm. On Friday morning we will
have a visit from the Easter Bunny. Monday 21st April is a bank holiday, therefore the first day of the
Spring term for the children will be Tuesday, 22nd April.
Have a good weekend

Polperro Primary Academy is a happy and thriving School for children aged 2 to 11 years and is often described as ‘somewhere special’ by visitors, parents and children alike. We currently have 102 children on roll across four classes and our pre-school nursery, and provide a seamless transition between nursery and primary school. In addition to our creative and well-qualified teaching staff, we have excellent teaching assistants who work across the school supporting and enhancing children’s learning. All of these staff are dedicated to providing pupils with quality learning opportunities and take immense pride in their work and in doing the best job they can to support the school.
We are very proud of the successes of our school, of the excellent relationships we have with families and friends within our community and of the governors, staff and children who work hard to make our school a happy place where we can learn together in friendship. We are proud of our academic results and are committed to continuing to raise standards and to providing an effective, inspiring education for all of our children. We hope that the close cooperation and partnership between school and home will enhance and support your child’s development throughout these important early years.
The stars of our school are of course, the children themselves and very few visitors fail to comment on their politeness, energy and enthusiasm. I feel very privileged and proud to lead their learning.
We very much hope you find this website useful and informative and please to not hesitate to contact either myself, or a member of my team, should you need any further information.
