And we're back!! We are so pleased to welcome so many of you to Lostwithiel Primary School for the first time today, and to welcome back all those of you who are already part of our school family. Our team has been working hard over the summer to make this a fantastic start to what promises to be an exceptional school year. With support from our trust, we've introduced a new approach to reading in KS2, engaged in fantastic training, and given our dining room a revamp! So, whether you're at the start of your journey with us or somewhere along the way, I know your children will settle quickly into school life and enjoy everything we have in store for them this year. Our first newsletter will be sent on Friday 11th September on Dojo. Class newsletters will also be sent to you by that date. Thank you for supporting such a positive start to the school year today. We pride ourselves on parental engagement and I am truly looking forward to getting know all our new families, as well as reconnecting with everyone else. With warmest wishes, Elaine Badger Headteacher

What a way to finish a fantastic year of oracy! Last night saw the grand finale of our Chatterfest competition, where pupils delivered powerful speeches on the theme "If I Could Change the World in One Way." From ending plastic pollution and teaching kindness as a school subject, to improving mental health provision and ensuring every child has the right to an education, our competitors chose topics close to their hearts and spoke with passion, courage and conviction. Their words moved our audience on more than one occasion and showcased the confidence, empathy and communication skills that have been developed through our commitment to oracy. We are incredibly proud of every child who took part. Their voices reminded us all of the difference young people can make when they are given the opportunity to speak and be heard. A huge thank you to our judges, Anna Iliffe and Simon Pollard. Faced with such thoughtful and inspiring speeches, choosing between them was no easy task! #Voice21 #CentreOfExcellence #OracyEducation #StudentVoice #Chatterfest #ProudSchool #FutureLeaders #SpeakingAndListening #Education #LostwithielSchool

We had been so fortunate to have had free sailing lessons for our Year 4 - 6 children this term, thanks to the Roseland Youth Sailing Trust and Fowey Gallants Sailing Club. Our sessions ended today with an amazing sail out into the bay, some 'accidental' capsizes () and a lot of fun in the water. Our pupils have learnt such a lot - to respect the water, to be confident sailors, to work as a team and rely on each other, resilience and perseverance. At Lostwithiel Primary School we know that education extends beyond the classroom and we love providing pupils with these experiences as they are invaluable, memorable and just wonderful.
