Welcome back!

Welcome back everyone to the new school year. One that we are sure will be as busy as always. We hope that all pupils will be keen and eager to do their best and make the most of their opportunities. Parents and school working together is vitally important for the children to succeed.

At the end of the Summer term we received our OFSTED inspection and were delighted with the findings as everyone works so hard at St. Mabyn to ensure that the pupils succeed. This was followed by the `Section 48` inspection which only applies to Church schools. The focus of this inspection is to measure the quality of Religious Education, Collective Worship and the spiritual, moral and social aspects of pupil development. We were very pleased to receive an excellent report from the inspection which was also endorsed by the Truro Diocese.

During the holidays Class 3 classroom has been refurbished. The ceiling has been lowered with improved lighting and redecorated. A further twelve computer stations have been installed so that the older children will learn how to incorporate I.C.T. skills into their personalised learning. All pupils will have their own file space for storing their work.

The creation of the `Sense of Place Garden` is now under way with the removal of some of the trees and shrubbery in preparation for the installation of an outdoor learning area which will double as a wet weather shelter and provide extra shade. Staff from Trelawney Garden Centre are then going to help the children plant the garden following a combination of ideas already suggested by pupil designs. Please support the Home School Association (H.S.A.) who are arranging a number of events to fund raise for this project.
