ST TEATH SCHOOL REPORT
14
The children and staff have had a lovely end to the term despite the weather. Pupils had the opportunity
to take part in Capoeira dance workshops at school where they were able to learn some of the key moves.
St Teath and St Breward schools came together for a joint Sports Day on Monday 25 th June. This was a
great success and the weather was kind to us. We were proud of the attitude of all the children taking part.
They all demonstrated the Olympic values and showed great team spirit.
Jack Proctor has organised a whole range of sporting activities for the children to take part in this term in
preparation for the Olympics. The children have had the opportunity to take part in a football tournament and
many Athletic / Olympic events. Well done to all the children who took part in these events. Thank-you to Jack
for all his hard work and enthusiasm. Pupils and staff in Class 3 have continued with their weekly surfing
lessons and are making really good progress. On Friday 13 th July the whole of St Teath school will be going
on a visit to the beach where they will be developing a range of outdoor skills.
Our visitors from Uganda finally made it to Cornwall this month. Thank-you to everybody for making
them feel so welcome. They were fortunate enough to experience a range of activities including surfing, guitar
lessons and a visit to the theatre. They thoroughly enjoyed their visit.
The Auction of Promises arranged by the parents and friends association at St Teath and the PTA at
St. Breward was a huge success. A profit of £2700 was raised to be shared equally between the two schools.
Fantastic! Well done to everybody involved and thank you for all your hard work.
We received the year six SATs results this week. The children did extremely well with 100% achieving
level four and above. The pupils worked very hard and we are extremely proud of them. There will be a
leavers assembly on Thursday 19 th July at 9:15. This will be an opportunity to say goodbye to our year six
pupils and to wish them well for the future.
We have to say goodbye to David Bray this term. He has been working at St Teath for two years now,
initially as a teaching assistant and recently as a trainee teacher. He has secured a full time teaching post for
September. We would like to thank David for all his hard work in the school and wish him all the best in his
future career.
On a final note I would like to say a huge thank-you to all of the children, staff, parents, governors and
local community for their support during my time at St Teath. St Teath is a lovely school in a beautiful village
and it has been a privilege to work at St Teath Community Primary School.
I would like to welcome back Mr Bacchus who will be returning to his post as Head Teacher of St Teath
and St Breward in September. We wish him all the best.
Fun Club
JO-ANNE CALLOW (Head Teacher Jan – July 2012)
Now well into its fourth year, our Fun Club for 7 – 11s is firmly established, well resourced, financially
viable, and regularly attended by 15 – 20 children on Fridays during term time.
As the end of the Fun Club year approaches, Grace and Bob have had to consider their future as leaders
/ organisers. Ill health has meant that Bob has had to relinquish a number of activities. Grace also
has a full load of responsibilities and involvement in the village.
For these reasons they have decided that, after nearly four years, it is time to withdraw and hand over
the running of the Fun Club at the end of term in July, believing that others will be able to build on their
success and bring a new freshness to the club and
its activities. Both Grace and Bob have thoroughly
enjoyed their involvement since starting the club, Messy church
but recognise it’s time to relinquish responsibility to
3.30 pm
others. If you are interested in helping with the future
running of the Fun Club, please contact either
on
Grace on 01208 851792 or Bob on 01208 850401.

to find out more about what’s involved.
As part of the Carnival Week activities, we are holding
our traditional Junior Skittles Championship
on Friday 27th July starting at 6.00pm in the Community
Centre. This is open to any children between
the ages of 7-11.
