Mount Charles Primary School

Still buzzing from our coasteering adventure! Our Year 5 and 6 pupils recently enjoyed an unforgettable day exploring Newquay's stunning coastline, leaping far beyond their comfort zones. The trip was about so much more than adventure. Throughout the day, pupils demonstrated incredible courage and teamwork. They supported one another and showed such reliance. We are incredibly grateful to The Clore Duffield Foundation, whose generous funding made this opportunity possible. Their support helps young people access enriching educational and cultural experiences and opening new doors. This coasteering experience is just one of several exciting opportunities planned for our learners across all year groups, with future visits including: Geevor Tin Mine Dartmoor Zoo The Minack Theatre Plymouth Aquarium These experiences help bring learning to life and allow our children to discover strengths they never knew they had. A huge well done to all our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils for embracing every challenge with such enthusiasm and positivity! #AdventureAwaits #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #Coasteering #OutdoorEducation #Teamwork #Resilience #CloreDuffield #StAustell

BIG NEWS!! We are absolutely thrilled to share some very special news with our school community! Our dedicated staff team have been working hard behind the scenes to secure funding that will enable our children to enjoy an incredible programme of educational trips and experiences this academic year at Mount Charles. We are incredibly grateful to the Clore Duffield Foundation for this generous support and for helping us provide opportunities that our children may otherwise not have had the chance to experience. From exploring museums, galleries and historic sites, to wildlife adventures, theatre visits, coastal experiences and even a very special London residential for Year 6 there is so much to look forward to! Most importantly, this funding means that every child can take part, helping us create memories, broaden horizons and continue to inspire a lifelong love of learning. Thank you, Clore Duffield Foundation, for helping us make these incredible opportunities possible.
