Welcome to Class 3! Mr Hodgins and Mrs Campbell are excited to help our older children make the most of their final years at Duloe. Class 3 is a place for children to challenge themselves, develop their independence and discover what they are capable of, while continuing to look after one another and their wider community. We want our pupils to leave us with confidence, curiosity, compassion and a love of learning - ready for their next adventure, having experienced throughout their time with us "an adventure for the mind and a home for the heart for all God's children."

Welcome back to all returning and new children. We have an exciting year ahead of us. We are starting the term looking at houses, homes and the local area. Check back here soon to see what we have been up too.

Welcome to Class 2! Mrs Askew and Miss Stephenson, together with Mrs Hughes and Nat, are looking forward to sharing another exciting year of learning and discovery with the children. We encourage our pupils to be curious, confident and kind, giving them opportunities to ask questions, solve problems, be creative and learn from one another. Above all, we want Class 2 to be a place where children feel known, supported and proud of who they are, reflecting our vision of "an adventure for the mind and a home for the heart for all God's children."

Welcome to Class 1! Mrs Currah and Miss Stephenson, supported by Miss Evans, Mrs Penhaligan and Mrs Hill, create a warm and encouraging classroom where children can learn, play and develop their independence. We want every child to feel that they belong, that their ideas matter and that they can have a go at something new. With lots of curiosity, creativity and encouragement, Class 1 is a place where children can enjoy the excitement of learning while feeling cared for and secure - truly an adventure for the mind and a home for the heart.

A very warm welcome to Pre-School! Our youngest children begin their journey at Duloe in a happy, nurturing and welcoming environment, where they are encouraged to explore, play, discover and grow in confidence. Sam and Natalie are there to make sure every child feels safe, valued and ready to take their first steps in learning. Through stories, songs, adventures and plenty of opportunities to investigate the world around them, we want our children to experience "an adventure for the mind and a home for the heart" from the very beginning.

A very warm welcome to Pelynt Pre-school, where our youngest children are given the time, care and encouragement they need to grow, explore and flourish. Led by Mrs Rickard, with the support of Mrs Rowe, Mrs Hicks and Mrs Carr, our Pre-school provides a nurturing and welcoming environment for children from the age of two. We believe that every child is unique, and that strong relationships, kindness and a sense of belonging provide the foundations for confident and happy learners. Through play, exploration and shared experiences, we encourage our children to be curious, develop their independence and build positive relationships with others. Above all, we want every child to feel safe, valued and excited to come through our doors each day, knowing that they are an important part of the Pelynt Academy family.

A warm welcome to Lansallos Class, where our oldest children are encouraged to grow in confidence, independence and ambition as they prepare for the next stage of their journey. Led by Ms Porter, with the support of Mrs McClaren, our Year 5 and 6 pupils are challenged to think deeply, embrace new opportunities and take pride in their learning and the contribution they make to our school community. We believe that children achieve their best when they feel valued, supported and trusted, and we encourage every member of Lansallos Class to show kindness, resilience and curiosity in all that they do. Together, we will celebrate successes, learn from challenges and help every child discover just how much they are capable of achieving.

Welcome to Talland Class, where children are encouraged to be curious, kind and confident learners who enjoy taking on new challenges. With Mr Knight leading the class, supported by Mrs Harper and Mrs Lee, our Year 2, 3 and 4 children will learn, explore and discover together in a classroom where everyone is valued and encouraged to do their best. We want our children to develop a real love of learning, to ask questions, share ideas and learn from one another, while becoming increasingly independent and resilient. Above all, Talland Class is a community where we support each other, celebrate our successes and make sure every child knows that they belong.

A very warm welcome to Lantic Class! We are delighted to welcome our youngest children into a happy, caring and nurturing learning environment where every child is encouraged to be curious, confident and excited about coming to school. Taught by Mrs Horn and Mrs Forbes, with the support of Mrs Milford and Mrs Dan, Lantic Class is a place where children can learn through play, exploration and discovery, while developing the friendships, independence and confidence that will help them thrive. We believe that every child has something special to offer, and we look forward to helping our Reception and Year 1 children grow, learn and flourish together.

As we reach the end of another wonderful year at Polperro School, I would like to thank you for your continued support. The children have worked incredibly hard and we are so proud of everything they have achieved. We hope you have enjoyed seeing their progress through the books sent home.

Before the summer break, we have some goodbyes to say. We wish our fantastic Year 6 pupils every success as they move on to secondary school. They have been such a valued part of our school community and we know they will do well. We are also saying goodbye to Mrs Lister who is moving to another school within the Trust and Miss Bowden who is leaving to begin her teacher training. We thank them both for their dedication and wish them every success.

Finally, Mrs Clary has recently decided to take up a new role that will allow her to spend more time with her grandchildren. While we will miss her greatly, we completely understand her decision and thank her for everything she has done for our school over the last four years. We wish her every happiness for the future.

From September, Miss Colton will provide TA support in Chaipel Class and Miss Beere will provide TA support in Landaviddy Class.

Swim Gala Thank you for coming to see the children in our first whole school swimming gala yesterday. From what I hear, it was a great success and I am sorry to have missed it. We will certainly do another one next year and meanwhile we will spend the generous £110 raised on the pool.

FOPS Funds The Summer Fair last Friday raised over £750. A huge thank you to everyone who helped out.
