I would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to the community that makes up Perranporth Primary School. This includes the children, the parents, the teachers, the teaching assistants, the office staff, the parent helpers, FOPS, the governing body, the site supervisor, the cleaning staff and the kitchen staff. My third year as Headteacher of Perranporth has been another hugely rewarding and enjoyable one with many, many successes for us all to feel very proud of. As part of my role, I frequently visit other schools that essen,ally do the same job as we do but in a variety of different ways. Lots of the schools I see mirror Perranporth in many ways. They may be similar in size and have similar grounds but something that I know makes Perranporth stand out from other schools is our strong feeling of community, of togetherness – and that our children feel part of one big family. This is what I love about Perran- porth and what I think our great strength is. And that doesn’t just happen. It comes as a result of a lot of hard work and effort from a very dedicated and proud staff. It comes from a suppor,ve community of parents who are interested and involved and who commend the staff and school when things are done well and approach us with helpful, construc,ve cri,cism if things aren’t quite right. It comes from a group of governors who are fiercely protec,ve about their school and who will take on anyone to get what’s best for it. It comes from our FOPS group who put a phenomenal amount of effort in to raise funds to make things even be3er for the pupils and to create a strong social side to this school community. But most of all it comes from a wonderful collec,on of children who look out for each other, who treat each other fairly, and with kindness and considera,on. Children who try their best and enjoy what they do. They are why we are here and each of them, in their own individual way, do us proud. Perranporth as a community con,nues to be incredibly suppor,ve and has a great enthusiasm for all that the school tries to do. We all work extremely hard and extremely well together to strive towards our common goal of doing our best for the children. It’s been another challenging, but a wonderful year and I’m very much looking forward to the next. Thank you one and all – I sincerely hope you have a sunny and safe summer holiday. And for all but the Year 6 . . . see you in September! Good Luck & Farewell As I’m sure you already know by now, after more years of devoted service to Perranporth than either would like to be reminded of, both Mrs Ballinger and Mr Paterson are taking well earned and de- served retirement. During their time here, countless children have benefitted from Mr P’s teaching and Mrs Ballinger’s support whilst also enjoying their education immensely. In their own way both of these fine members of the Perranporth Team have worked tirelessly and brought so much to our school. We are all exceptionally grateful for everything they have done and will miss them terribly. That said, we wish them both the best of luck for the future and would be very pleased if they pop back in from time to time to let us know how they’re getting on. Thank you and good luck! Also leaving us this summer is Mrs Keast from the School Office. Mrs Keast has been an integral part of the ‘front of house operation’ and will be greatly missed from our Perranporth family. Good luck Mrs Keast! And finally we must say goodbye and good luck to our Year 6’s. They have been a fabulous year group who have achieved a great many things during their time with us. They are moving onto to the next stage in their education and the many exciting challenges and opportunities that await them. We thank them for all of the effort and hard work they’ve given to Perranporth and for simply being fantastic children who we are all very proud of. Good luck Year 6, work hard and aim high!
