‘It felt great to play well together as a team.’ Farrah, Year 6
On Wednesday 4 March, we took an U11 netball team to St. Joseph’s School, Launceston to take part in their friendly netball tournament.
During the afternoon, our team played six matches of netball, against all of the other teams. Other schools attending included teams from St. Petroc’s, St. Stephens, St. Joseph’s and Egloskerry. Each match was 4 minutes each way, with a straight swap at half-time. This was a friendly afternoon of netball against schools that we had not previously played this season.
Our team played consistently well – winning all of their matches, apart from one draw. In fact, they only conceded one goal all afternoon.
‘It was fun playing against both boys and girls.’ Harriet, Year 6
‘I think we all definitely improved.’ Beth, Year 6
‘It was fun to play in a new position.’ Ella, Year 6
The tournament really allowed them to develop as a team. Their performance goal was to pass to players who had moved into space, which allowed them to produce some confident, attacking play.
‘I loved the cookies and the juice.’ Alice, Year 6
‘I enjoyed scoring goals throughout the afternoon.’ Imogen, Year 6
‘It was really fun playing against mixed teams and ones that we don’t usually play.’ Felicity, Year 6
‘My face lit up when we scored each goal.’ Zara, Year 6
In the presentation at the end of the tournament, the girls all received their winning medals and certificates from Amy Hemingway at St. Joseph’s School. Many thanks to both her and her team for organising and hosting this wonderful event.

Our school motto, Esse Quam Videri (to be, rather than to seem to be), captures the essence of our identity and is defined by the 5 C's below. Underpinned by strong Christian principles, we are a caring and inclusive community which values, nurtures and develops each individual.

Curiosity to always want to discover and learn more, academically and more widely too.
Because we believe that academic excellence is an important part of human excellence. Every child is an individual and we celebrate and develop their uniqueness, helping them to become an independent learner and encouraging each child to explore, understand and cultivate their talent and abilities, whatever they may be.
Compassion to understand and champion the needs of others, in our community and beyond.
Because our mission challenges us to be a vibrant community which enables people to live their lives to the full and transform society for the better. Located in the heart of Cornwall, our distinctive, serene location supports the development of balanced, unpretentious and reflective children who understand their role as global citizens.
Confidence to build resilience by learning from both successes and failures alike.
Because we want every pupil to be comfortable in their own skin, celebrating the uniqueness of each individual in the school community. Through drama, presenting and public speaking opportunities, as well as appearing in productions and concerts, pupils learn key communication skills and gain the confidence to prosper in the real world.
Creativity to be imaginative in how we express ourselves and approach new challenges.
Because we value the development of pupils’ imaginative and creative dimensions as well as their characters. Through a broad curriculum and wide range of co-curricular activities, pupils discover the important balance between creative and logical thinking. These opportunities are fundamental to ensuring your son or daughter discovers their hidden gifts, developing a sense of individuality and a confidence in their own abilities.
Courage to enjoy becoming the very best of who we are, with integrity and ambition.
Because we believe that essential life skills are often best taught outside of the classroom, balancing an academic education. Through a wide-ranging co-curricular programme, we offer every child the chance to participate, perform and lead in the fields of their choice. In a competitive world these opportunities are fundamental to ensuring your son or daughter develops essential life skills and an ambition for life.
