Head's Blog

27th June 2025


It was great to see so many of you at sports day on Wednesday - thank you for coming. We were very proud of the way the children joined in, competed and supported each other and of the Year 6 leaders who ran the morning so well. There will be photos on the class blogs later.

We added up the house points from the sports day races and awarded others to pupils for exceptional effort, enthusiasm and determination. The final scores were Ash 64; Chestnut 65; Willow 78 and Oak 99. Congratulations Oak!

Football Success On Monday our football team played against Pelynt in the League where they played their best match of the season. They worked together as a team, attacking and defending as one. Player of the match was Harry. Final score: Polperro 10 - Pelynt 1. And even better news - we have just heard that Polperro has won the League, having won all five of their matches. Go team Polperro! A well-deserved result.

FOPS Summer Fair - Monday 21st July at 2pm Reminder that this Monday 30th June will be a MUFTI day where we will be asking for donations of an item matching your child's house team colour to create hampers for raffle prizes. Children can wear their own clothes and this could include wearing their house colour. If you would like to help out on the day of the Summer Fair, please let us know.

The Summer Reading Challenge: Story Garden is a fun, free way to help children keep up their reading skills over the long summer break. Just six books over the holidays can make a huge difference to your child's confidence and enjoyment of reading. • Sign up for FREE at your local Cornwall Library from Saturday 5th July or at the school gate after school on Thursday 10th July • Fun stickers, rewards and events • Open to all 4-11-year-olds of all reading levels - there are resources for children with dyslexia and visual impairments.  

Liskeard and Looe Rugby Club Please see attached flyer regarding some fun trial rugby sessions that Liskeard and Looe Rugby club is running for year 4 pupils.


Have a great weekend.

Welcome


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.
