National Year of Reading - The 10-Minute Challenge Can you spare 10 minutes a day? That's all we're asking. 10 minutes of reading together. Every day. For a year. The impact? HUGE. Children who read for pleasure are 13x more likely to read above their expected level 10 minutes daily = 1 million words per year Better vocabulary, maths, empathy, and wellbeing Bedtime stories. Comics at breakfast. Audiobooks in the car. Whatever fits your family. As part of the National Year of Reading 2026, CELT is going ALL IN on reading. But schools can't do this alone - we need YOU. Monthly reading packs, book recommendations, and support throughout the year - we've got you covered. Families + Schools = Reading Success Are you in? #NationalYearOfReading2026 #GoAllIn #CELTReading #10MinutesDaily

Dolphin Class DT in Action! Dolphin Class at Port Isaac Academy have been busy in DT, designing and constructing their own castles using nets of 3D shapes and the results have been fantastic! The children showed brilliant collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity as they worked together to turn their designs into strong and imaginative structures. A wonderful example of teamwork, resilience, and hands-on learning in action. Well done, Dolphin Class we're so proud of you!

We were incredibly proud to be invited to sing at a special service in Truro Cathedral on Wednesday evening, celebrating the rich traditions and carols of Port Isaac. Our children shone brightly, demonstrating our five values Joy, Aspiration, Community, Resilience and Respect as they opened the concert with the Lantern Parade and performed Starry Starry Night to a packed Cathedral and live stream audience. What an amazing accomplishment! A huge thank you to Janet Townsend for her wonderful support and singing coaching with the children and staff, and to Caroline Cleave for her enthusiasm, encouragement and guidance both before and during the event. We are so grateful!
