We would like to say a massive thank you for all of your support during what was a strange end to the summer term and a big welcome back from all of us at Penryn Primary Academy. You have all adapted so well to our new routines and procedures that we have put in place and there have been smiling faces throughout the school during the past week. It is so great to have such a positive atmosphere and so many children eager and ready for learning in their new year groups. We would like to say welcome to our wonderful reception class and thank our families for their patience during our transition weeks, when visiting the class the children have been happy and loved exploring their new surroundings, lots of hands on learning taking place from day one! As the KS1 office is currently closed for visitors, please continue to send any enquiries to our school via email - [email protected] ; all correspondence will be passed on daily and appointments can be made to speak with class teachers. We have had a great start to the Autumn Term with lots of amazing work taking place throughout the school, take a look at what some of our classes have been up to, more photos will be shared online very soon!

Drop off and collection Thank you for you support with our new drop off procedures that we have put in place for everyone’s safety. To remind parents, drop off times are allocated by child’s surname and are as follows: Time A – A-H: 08:30-08:40 and 15:00-15:10 Time B – I-P: 08:40-08:50 and 15:10-15:20 Time C – Q-Z: 08:50-09:00 and 15:20-15:30 For collection, the gates will be open at 14:50. Parents are asked not to arrive before 14:50 as this would result in congestion. To support the safe environment, parents must adhere to the collection and drop off times .
