Pennoweth Weekly
Summer Term - Week 38
Website www.pennoweth.cornwall.sch.uk
Friday 14th July 2016
I am pleased to inform you that the transition week went well. The children met with their new
teachers and support staff, and took part in a range of activities to get to know their new
classmates, as well as set out class expectations. We look forward to September now.
I met with the PTA last Friday and we talked through the success of the PTA Summer Fair. They
raised a staggering £1000 in what amounted to less than 2 hours of spending. The preparation
and organisation that went into the event was like a military operation before, during and after
and I would like to express my thanks to the whole team for all their time and energy leading
up to and during the fair. The PTA are keen to raise funds for something that will have a lasting
impact on the work of the school and would like to raise enough money to purchase new
staging and new lighting for performances in the hall. This is an excellent target because our
children are ready for that creative challenge now and it is an area that the school needs to
develop next. We estimate the total cost of the staging will be in the region of £1800 and the
lighting and safety wall mounted safety bars will be in the region of £3500. We are yet to get
official quotes but that will be a task for the early part of the new term.
Raising money for those 'luxury items' is, of course, very important but, of equal and possibly more
importance is the fact that the PTA brings together the school community and helps break down
barriers between home and school. The atmosphere at the Summer Fair was one of laughter, fun,
conversations with people you might never have spoken to before, friendship and working together
towards a common goal. It is about the community coming together for the benefit of our children
and this year’s fair did all of that very successfully indeed. A huge thank you to the whole team.

We have registered for a scheme through the West
Briton to receive a ‘Buddy Bench’. The bench is
made out of recycled materials and will be placed
in the playground to promote friendships during
lunch times and play times. The scheme is
sponsored by local businesses;
once we are matched with a
local company, we hope that
the bench will be delivered to
us in September. We will keep
you all updated in September.
