Congratulations Perranporth!
This week we were extremely proud to receive a letter from the Minister of State for School
Reform, Nick Gibb MP! He wrote to Perranporth to congratulate us on our ‘very high
standard of achievement’ in our phonics test results. In fact he informed us that Perranporth
School is in the top 5% of schools in the country for phonics! We obviously already know that
the teaching and learning at our school is excellent, but it’s always nice when someone from the Department
for Education acknowledges that too! Please have a look at the letter in full on the back of the newsletter.
Huge well done to all the children, staff and parents (your help is invaluable to us) for all of your hard learning in
phonics!

Pearl of Africa
On Monday this week Year 5 made a visit Richard Lander School to take part in a workshop with the Pearl of
Africa Children's Choir. This is an internationally acclaimed Ugandan choir which is made up of children from the
various schools and homes run by the Molly and
Paul Childcare Foundation. Year 5 saw the
choir’s amazing drumming performance and
were then taught the skills themselves. The Pearl
of Africa also put on an evening performance
that children and families could return for. Every-
one came back to school full of excitement and
simply thrilled after such an incredible time! A
huge thank to Richard Lander for inviting us
along.
Sikhism
Trewlawny Class had a very exciting visitor this week. They were extremely lucky to welcome Daya, a
Sikh lady. She kindly helped them learn all about Sikhism as part of their RE work. Daya taught them lots
of extremely interesting things about the Sikh religion, culture, customs, foods and clothing. The whole
class thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learnt a huge amount.
Nut Free School
Just a reminder that we are now a nut free school. Children must not bring nuts or other obvious nut products
into school as part of their snack or packed lunch; this also includes packed lunches for school trips and
cakes for the Friday sales. Thank you.
What’s coming up next week?
