QR to view on the web BE YOUR BEST Principal’s Report I am delighted to let parents know that the Academy continues to go from strength to strength with excellent student numbers for the new Year 7 in September. As all schools are funded on pupil numbers, it is vital to ensure that we continue to be one of the most popular choice schools in Cornwall and 2016 is no exception. It allows us to continue offering a truly outstanding curriculum provision and extra-curricular programme with excellence in all areas including the arts and sport. This week we have been visited by some experienced executive headteachers from across the country and they were really impressed with the calm, orderly, rigorous and very happy learning environment. A particular area that impressed our guests was the personalised range of support offered by our Student Services team, including Compass Careers and Lifeskills sessions, counselling and study support. This confirms that Mounts Bay Academy continues to be an outstanding school not just in terms of exam results but learning culture and relationships as well. Finally, Penzance will be hosting this year’s Cornwall School Games. Mounts Bay Academy, Humphry Davy School, Penzance Tennis Club, Penzance Leisure Centre, Carn Brea Athletics Club and the Mennaye will be welcoming schools from all over Cornwall competing in a variety of sports from golf to netball, table tennis to dance. It will be an honour to allow the youth from across Cornwall to see how beautiful west Cornwall is and how many wonderful sporting venues Penzance has for a relatively small town.
