FOPS – Friends of Perranporth School

We are a group of parents and teachers who organise events to raise funds for the school. The Head Teacher is always the Chair and parents currently hold the roles of Secretary and Treasurer.  Meetings are generally held once or twice a term and all parents and staff are welcome to attend. Our recent disco made a profit of nearly £500 which will go towards paying for the new playground equipment and Christmas activities for the children in December. Look out for our Bag 2 School dates where we collect jumble to raise funds according to weight collected.

Safeguarding

At Perranporth School we have a duty of care to all of our pupils. We have a duty to pass on any child protection or safeguarding concerns to the Children’s Early Help, Psychology & Social Care Services and/or Multi Agency Referral Unit (MARU). Contacts for these and other agencies can be found here:Safeguarding Contacts

Promoting British Values and the PREVENT Strategy

The DfE have recently reinforced the need “to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.”

The Government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, and these values have been reiterated this year (2014).

The British values are:-

  • Democracy1431428625_BVP JPEG
  • The Rule of Law
  • Individual Liberty
  • Mutual Respect
  • Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

At Perranporth School these values are reinforced regularly.

What is the Prevent duty?

Prevent is a government strategy designed to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorist or extremist causes.

The Prevent strategy covers all types of terrorism and extremism, including the extreme right wing, violent Islamist groups and other causes.

How does the Prevent strategy apply to schools and academies?          From July 2015 all schools and academies (as well as other organisations) have a duty to safeguard children from radicalisation and extremism.

This means we have a responsibility to protect children from extremist and violent views the same way we protect them from drugs or gang violence.

Importantly, we can provide a safe place for pupils to discuss these issues so they better understand how to protect themselves.

This document gives a brief overview of what the PREVENT Strategy is and how we implement this at Perranporth School. Perranporth PREVENT Advice for Parents

Pupil Premium Funding/ Free School Meals

What is it?

The Pupil Premium is designed to ensure that funding to tackle disadvantaged children reaches the pupils who need it most.

  • £1,300 for primary-aged pupils

Schools also receive £1,900 for each pupil who:

  • has been adopted from care
  • has left care under:
  • a special guardianship order
