Padstow School News

We had great fun on our Pirate Day which we held to mark the launch of our new website Padstow Pirates.  Every child at Padstow School will be able to register on the website, they will get their own Pirate character who they can name and, by taking in part in out of school activities, they can earn points with which they can buy clothing and accessories. Pupils will also be able to ‘chat’ to other ‘pirates’ on the website and play interactive games.  Only children from Padstow School can register on the site and once the children leave the school their information will be wiped, this makes the site a safe, closed community for the children. Our site has been developed in partnership with Ridgeberry, the aim is for it to develop into a Virtual Learning Environment where children can upload, store and access their work whether at school or at home.

Welcome back to the spring term at Padstow School. We hope everyone is feeling well rested after the Christmas break. We hosted a tennis tournament yesterday which was the third inter school Olympic event. Well done to Sam and Ben who took part. Ben was delighted to win the silver medal. Well done!

Merry Christmas everyone - thankyou for all of your support this year. We hope you have a very restful Christmas and new year.

If you do have any time - take a look at our new website 

On Tuesday afternoons, lots of our pupils have been building websites. We will be putting a selection up for you to view at
www.padstowpupils.co.uk
at the moment you can see Josh's site for his imaginary band - Devil Thunder.

We are currently undertaking a review of our admissions policy along with our fellow Academies in The Cornwall Academy Trust. We would really value your views on this.

We have a few lantern making kits left, please pop into the office to collect yours.

The Lantern Parade is on Friday 2nd December. We will meet on Riverside, between the Seafood Restaurant road closure and the Customs House from 5.50pm. The Lantern Parade will start at 6pm and will follow the St Minver Silver Band. Father Christmas, travelling by Fire Engine, will also be part of the parade. We will be walking around the quay, past the Reindeer on the bandstand, to the Corey shelter where Father Christmas will alight from the Fire Engine. The parade will then go left through Mill Square to the Institute where Father Christmas will go inside.
We look forward to seeing you all there!

The Book Fayre is in school until Wednesday 30th November. Open every break time and after school each day until 3.45pm. Come in for a browse!    

Children in Need day this Friday will be a Spotty non-school uniform day with all proceeds going to this very worthwhile cause.

We will also be drawing our raffle this Wednesday to see which lucky pupils will get to run the school for the morning. LAst chance to get your tickets.
