    3rd March 2017 STANDING OUT THE MAGAZINE FOR MOUNTS BAY ACADEMY Cover: Dry Ice 18th January 2019 PRINCIPAL’S REPORT Be empathetic and the world will be a better place because of you! Last year we launched our ‘MBA Way’ which everyone has embraced and which is now starting to show some amazing results. In conjunction with our High Performance Learning and commitment to Global Goals, they are now all embedded in our school life and providing the focus for our learning. “Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another and feeling with the heart of another.” Alfred Adler This week in our Crew Meetings we have been looking at the way in which we celebrate our students excelling in their work or behaviour. They also gave their views on how they could be rewarded with a system to replace the Vivo system we have used in the past. After half term we will be introducing the MBA passport, a new way to record our excellent work and celebrate the success that this can bring. Students will be able to receive credits from staff and tutors that can be converted to points and exchanged in the school shop for prizes. My colleagues have also been working hard planning for our forthcoming Project Week and I am pleased to GLOBAL CHAMPION say that up to 30 students will be working with Miss Wheeler to reinstate our poly tunnel into the new community GrowSpace. In keeping with our policy to re-use and recycle as much as we can, we have appealed to the local community for any surplus compost, pots and tools which we will be using to grow food for a number of local groups including the Street Food Project Penzance.

    ACADEMY NEWS 4th March 2016 E X P L O R E Blue House Win World Book Day Quiz! 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.

    Newsletter Cover: Details #LESTWEFORGET 16th NovemberDate Month 2019Year CEO Report by Sara Davey Dear Parents/Carers It’s been an ‘exhibition week’! The exhibition of work for Years Seven/ Eight and the GCSE art show were both very well attended on Thursday evening by parents. They were able to see some excellent performances on stage and high quality art and citizenship work on display. A big thanks must go to all the students and staff involved for putting on two great shows. This week there is news to share about some really exciting forthcoming events, trips and learning experiences. Firstly, Fowey River Academy has been successful in getting project funds from the British Council for a new partnership with schools across Europe. There will be the opportunity for middle school students, in Years Nine and Ten, to apply for free places on exchange visits to Germany, Italy, France and Spain over the next three years. The first exchange trip will be to Augsberg in Germany next week. A big thank you to Miss Hick for her successful bid for additional funding as it helps us in our aspiration to have a “World Class Education for Global Learners”. Secondly, the Young Americans will be coming back to Fowey in February for some inspirational performing arts activities; details will follow shortly. Lastly, we have Project Week for the whole school starting on Monday. It includes a range of trips, events, visits and new learning experiences to fire the imagination and capture the belief that learning takes place outside the classroom. Please make sure that wet weather gear is packed if there are trips out of school for your child, as we are experiencing a run of relentless wet and windy weather.
