Bright Smiles Ahead: Year 1 Learns the Secrets to Healthy Teeth!
Year 1 had a fantastic time learning all about how to keep our teeth clean and healthy, thanks to the brilliant team from Healthy Cornwall and NHS Dentistry! We discovered the best ways to brush our teeth and learned how much sugar is hiding in some of our favourite drinks. It was a fun, interactive workshop that helped us understand how important it is to look after our teeth every day!
Thank you so much Healthy Cornwall and NHS Dentistry!
PE and Sports Premium Funding (Previous Years)
Funding for 2016 to 2017
Schools with 16 or fewer eligible pupils receive £500 per pupil.
Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £8,000 and an additional payment of £5 per pupil.
What has been the effect of Sports Premium Funding on pupils’ participation and attainment?
With the support of our dedicated staff, pupils are enjoying a wider variety of activities and we are seeing an increase in the number of pupils opting for after-school sports clubs. Using industry professional and coaches to introduce new activities to our pupils has given them an insight into high level performance and the enthusiasm for sport is obvious as obvious in PE lessons as it is during ‘house’ tournaments.
How will we make these improvement sustainable?
We consistently strive to improve opportunities for our pupils. Where an activity proves popular, we make every effort to provide additional resources (more staff, extra clubs) so that all pupils can take part. In addition, we are always looking for fresh challenges to engage and excite the children at Penpol. These challenges might include surfing, golf, tennis, street dance, gymnastics and sports tournaments.
Year 6 Sports Festival Fun
Today, 12 pupils from Year 6 participated in a sports festival hosted at Mounts Bay Academy. They split off in to two teams and challenged other schools in both Dodgeball and Bench Ball! Fun was had by all and smiles were worn throughout! A special thank you to Mounts Bay for hosting and to the other schools for some great competition!
