Children in Need Day

A huge well done to everyone for making such a brilliant effort for Children in Need. Everyone arrived

in their spotty and stripy clothing to raise money for this fantastic cause. We also had a very popular

cake sale and received lots of spare change in donations. Despite the horrible weather, it’s been a

wonderful day! Thank you for all of your support.

FOPS Meeting

Our next FOPS meeting will be on Monday 28th Nov straight after school in Trelawny Class (Year 5). All

parents are most welcome to attend. It is always nice to see new members; you can commit as much or

as little time to help or just come along to find out what it’s all about. Don’t forget that if you want to keep

up to date with FOPS news and events, please check out the Friends of Perranporth School Facebook

group.

Adult Nativity

Calling all staff and parents, old and new... keep this date free!

Would you like to be in this year's staff and parent Nativity play? No need to be a

great actor or a fab singer, or even to still have a child in school; just be willing to

dress up as an angel or a shepherd and have some fun. It will be held in St

Michael's Church on Saturday 10th December (after the school Xmas Faye) will last

approx half an hour and all proceeds raised will go to FOPS funds.

Further details to follow but if you are interested please let me know asap. Thanks, Bec

Cornwall School Games Swimmers

A huge well done to the children who took part in the Cornwall

School Games swimming qualifier event this week. Although we

didn’t manage to score enough points to go through to the next

round of the event, all of Perranporth’s swimmers gave a truly

fantastic performance. Some of the highlights were; Wilf won 1st

place in the Y5 front crawl, Ruby came 3rd in Y6 front crawl,

Callum came 3rd in Y6 butterfly, Maisie came 2nd in Y5 front crawl and Amy

came 1st in Y5 butterfly! A huge well done to all of the children and a very big

thank you to the parents who helped with transport to and from the event.

School Admissions Policy Consultation

You may remember several weeks ago a letter going home notifying parents about our plans to change our admis-

sions policy. We asked for consultation on a change that would mean children with siblings in the school, would

have a higher priority in the case of oversubscription than those who live closer to the school building. The consulta-

tion period has now ended with no objections to our proposal. The policy changes will now go through our gover-

nors and academy directors to be agreed. This will hopefully mean that the changes will come into effect for the

2018-19 academic year. We’ll keep you posted.
