Open Evening 3rd April 2025

We will be holding an Open Evening on 3rd April 2025 from 1530 to 1730. This will be a relaxed and informal evening where we will be celebrating what the students have achieved. You will have the opportunity to visit and explore our site and its facilities, sample lessons and talk through your child’s progress with their teacher.

Regardless of your child’s school year, you (or your child) may meet the eligibility criteria and we recommend all parents and carers who are not already in receipt of Free School Meals to check via the Council website / phone line if they are eligible - and apply if so.

Even if your child does not eat a school meal, there are benefits for the school and our students by applying for Free School Meals. If eligible for Free School Meals, your child will also be eligible for Pupil Premium. This is additional funding paid to the school to support your child in their learning. This funding is calculated according to the number of students who qualify (and have applied) for Free School Meals, regardless of whether a meal is actually ordered or eaten via the school kitchen.

Find out if your child can get free school meals, how to apply, and understand how to get extra funding for your school.

The easiest and quickest way to apply for Free School Meals and Pupil Premium is online. Please make sure that you have checked the eligibility criteria before applying.

Our classes

Poldhu

Poldhu class have had a lovely end to their first half term at Cury! They have been working hard to measure ingredients and practice their baking skills. The children loved learning how to use breathing as a regulation tool through blow painting. Lots of learning has also taken place in maths and phonics lessons, which Sian and the team have been so impressed with! Poldhu class have also enjoyed visiting the local area including trips to the and going to soft play, swimming and the sensory studio at Nancealverne. The progress we have seen in just 6 weeks is amazing and they should all be so proud of themselves! We hope they all have a lovely half term and enjoy a well-deserved break before the fun and learning continues at School!

In Gunwalloe class, we have had so much fun in and out of class. We really enjoy our enrichment outings to the lake and also overcoming challenges visiting the skate park. We loved making fruit kebabs and milkshakes and have learnt lots about how to represent numbers and understand place value.
