Head's Blog

4th July 2025

It has been a different and quiet week this week with year 6 away at their residential at the Ultimate Adventure Centre in Devon. On Monday we welcomed pupils who will be joining us in Reception in September for a session in Penhallow Class. On Tuesday Rev Richard came in for an assembly about protecting our planet and our Planet Protectors were able to answer some challenging questions about how to do this. This afternoon, Years 4 and 5 practised their spoken French in our Cafe in the hall.

Transition
Next Tuesday will be transition morning for all of our pupils when they will enjoy time in their new class.

Clubs
Please note that next week will be the last week of clubs for this school year.

If you are looking ahead to buying uniform, please remember that we have a good supply of nearly new uniform in school which is available for a donation (£1 minimum) to the school.

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.
