St Piran's School

Welcome back, Year 6! 🧗

Today we welcomed our Year 6 pupils back to St Piran’s after an exciting week at Battisborough House. Packed with adventurous activities and plenty of fun, it was a residential to remember.

We hope everyone had a fantastic time and made memories that will last for years to come!🩵

Everyone loves a Sports Day! 🏅

Last week, our Middle and Upper School pupils took part in a variety of events, showing great determination and house spirit, with plenty of impressive performances and lots of encouragement from the sidelines!

Well done to all our pupils for their fantastic effort and enthusiasm 👏

On today's National Thank a Teacher Day, we celebrate the achievement of the St Piran's Early Years Team, who have been awarded Bronze Winner status in the 2026 Pearson National Teaching Awards for Early Years Team of the Year.

This national recognition reflects the exceptional dedication, passion and commitment our Early Years team brings to every child, every day. Selected from an incredibly strong field of entries from educational settings across the UK, this award is a testament to the positive impact they have on our pupils, families and wider school community.

The Pearson National Teaching Awards recognise excellence across the education sector, and we are immensely proud that the hard work and dedication of our Early Years team has been acknowledged at a national level.

Congratulations to every member of the team on this well-deserved achievement, and thank you for the difference you make in the lives of our youngest learners.

This week we hosted our annual Digital Showcase 💻

We were delighted to welcome 13 schools and 3 Governors, who enjoyed a day exploring digital learning through stop-motion animation, drones, VR headsets and more.

It was wonderful to hear that so many attendees were impressed by the teaching, presentations and innovative ways technology is being used across our school, and left feeling inspired and full of ideas to take back to their own schools.

A huge thank you to all of our staff who spoke so passionately about digital innovation, and to our incredible pupil Digital Leaders, whose knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm helped make the day such a success 🩵

Today we celebrate World Environment Day 🌍🌿

At St Piran’s, our Harmony curriculum teaches children through nature, not just about nature. Whether that's planting, observing wildlife or spending time outdoors, we encourage our pupils to build a meaningful connection with the environment.

Today is a day to enjoy the natural world and appreciate the beauty of nature all around us ☀️

We are thrilled to be hosting our third annual Digital Showcase Day at St Piran’s and would be delighted to welcome you or your colleagues to see technology in action across our school.
The day will include live lessons led by our Digital Leaders, demonstrations, teacher spotlights and opportunities to explore how digital learning is enhancing creativity, collaboration and classroom experiences throughout the school.
We look forward to another inspiring day of sharing ideas and innovation within education.
