It has been a really hard week at school for some staff and children at Threemilestone School.  For many close to Mrs Pascoe, it has been the reality of what TMS feels like without her energy and commitment to our children. On Wednesday, we celebrated her life with our ‘Wales day’, raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. There was nothing she liked more than hearing children laugh and have fun, and combining this with her beloved home nation of Wales, we celebrated in style! The Y5&6 staff had a competitive game of football against the children (winning, of course!) and to add to the magic of the day, Wales then went on to win the football v Turkey in the evening. Mrs Pascoe was a very special lady; we hope we would have done her proud on this special day.

Last week, Mrs Weston and myself undertook an external Health and Safety audit. We are really pleased to let all our families know that the gentleman from Amicus Compliance had never seen a school with such high levels of compliance and safety at the forefront of its school culture. My thanks goes to Mrs Weston and Ms Jenkin-White at Mitie, for ensuring that time and focus is spent on all the small details, which matters – thank you. 

The government announcement on Monday was a disappointing one for all. With cases of a significant increase in Cornwall, we are taking this very seriously. Staff are continuing LFD testing twice a week, and all plans for relaxation as the term comes to an end, have had to change. The changes are outlined in the newsletter below. 

 Please continue to stay safe. Covid-19 is very real in Cornwall with bubbles closing in many local schools, affecting the education and livelihoods of many families. We all need to do our part.
