What a way to finish our exciting week at school! We have taken part in Comic Relief, understanding where our donations go and how we can all help other people. Thank you so much for your generosity, we have raised £625 towards this worthwhile cause. In our assemblies this week, we have explored the different ways in which money is raised. The school has been enveloped with colour and laughter: it has just been wonderful to be part of something so special.

Our children have shown incredible resilience throughout the week; as tiredness is creeping in the changes of routines from ‘Lockdown’, they have remained focused and continued to show off that they can achieve great things. 

We hope you have a wonderful weekend: with lighter evenings starting to happen, remember we are still in ‘National Lockdown’. To keep everyone safe at school, please continue to follow guidelines so that we can work together to minimise the number of cases.

FOODBANK use over EASTER holiday

Truro Foodbank have contacted the school to say that they are able to do a food delivery of a package to cover breakfast and lunch, containing items such as longlife milk, cereal, tinned meat, beans, pasta, tinned fruit, biscuits and fruit juice. If you are worried about finances and how to feed your family over the Easter Holidays, please do not hesitate to contact the school and we can give your number to the Foodbank. This is a wonderful charity. Please make use of the offer if you are anxious, and also, please donate if you are able to: times are really challenging for lots of families in our community.

Booking School Lunches

Please remember to book and pay for your child’s school lunch through Parent Pay on a daily basis. Please book this by 9am at the latest or your child’s meal may not be recorded in the kitchen numbers. If you have forgotten please ring the office and we can book a meal for you.
