Delabole Primary is a small school, located between ancient moorland and the rugged coastline of beautiful North Cornwall. Community is written into every fibre of our school and we are fiercely proud of its strong identity.
We are relentlessly ambitious for our children – and for ourselves as educators. Our staff seek out inspirational opportunities to enrich learning and our children are encouraged to meet each new challenge and encounter with open minds and hearts. It is our intention that our pupils gain a strong sense of self so that they are able to confidently form their ideas and opinions. In combining their voices with those of their friends, they grow to understand what it means to contribute to a learning community. As they mature, their experiences ripple out so that by the time they leave us, they understand their place in the world as global citizens.
This website will offer you a glimpse of how we shape learning – it is a window on the world but equally a mirror we hold up to the children in celebration of what it means to achieve.

Class 2 have been exploring the story of ‘Jim and the Beanstalk’ over the past few weeks. Today, they read the whole story for the first time and practised reading the book to each other in their pairs, using a fabulously fierce giant’s voice!

In Forest Friends session, we had the challenge of making a shelter big enough to fit a child inside! We thought about how people from the Stone Age might have used sticks and animal skins to create a home or temporary shelter. We then worked in groups using long poles and tarps.

In Forest Friends we created animal shelters. The children collected sticks, bark and fallen leaves and used the materials to create a shelter in which they could fit a toy animal. It was wonderful to see how resilient the children were given how windy and muddy it was!

Cl 1 have been investigating materials & linking it to their Stone Age learning. They worked in groups with a given material to create a shelter for a Cave Man. They discussed how to make it a fair test, to make a shelter that kept out the rain & would withstand the wind.

Cl 2 children had to be detectives this week. They arrived to find a crime scene, some very large footprints & a range of suspects. After analysing the evidence & listening to the suspect’s alibis they finally found out who the culprit was, but it was not who they were expecting!
