Oak Class visit Cornwall at War Museum

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 11:40:09 GMT

Year 5 & 6 had an incredible time when they visited the Cornwall at War Museum in Davidstow. From the moment we arrived, the children impressed everyone with their excellent behaviour and enthusiasm — true ambassadors for our school. The children were so engaged as they listened to the stories and events that took place during WW2. We explored a fascinating collection of wartime artifacts that sparked lots of curiosity and great questions. From vintage uniforms to historic vehicles, there was so much to see and learn! One of the highlights of the day was taking part in a marching drill — lots of laughter, teamwork, and some very sharp salutes! A huge thank you to the museum staff for making us feel so welcome, and well done Oak Class for making it such a memorable trip!

Children reflect & remember

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 11:14:27 GMT

On Tuesday 11th November, our school community came together in silence to honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country. At 11am, we observed a two-minute silence for Remembrance Day — a moment to reflect, remember, and show our deepest respect. From our youngest pupils to our oldest students, everyone stood together in unity and thoughtfulness. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of peace, gratitude, and remembrance. Lest we forget. ❤️

LAP team visit Jacobstow eco council

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 11:35:39 GMT

On Wednesday 5th November, Jacobstow welcomed business support colleagues in the trust. The team consisted of colleagues from our people team, finance team and estates team. During their visit, they spent some time talking with our eco council, who proudly and confidently shared with them what we are doing at Jacobstow to become more eco friendly. Four children from Oak Class talked about the new eco friendly resources we are using in an attempt to do our part for the environment. Children demonstrated how the refillable glue sticks and pens worked; gave the team the opportunity to try out our new whiteboard pencils and spoke of our efforts to recycle all waste. Together, we talked about what our next steps could be and how they could be leading the way on sustainability across our trust. We had such a lovely time together, and I know they felt warmly welcomed at Jacobstow. Once again, our children shone with their impeccable behaviour, wonderful manners and warm greetings. Thank you to our LAP team friends for coming to visit us - come again soon.

We had a wonderful time on Wednesday morning at St. James Church. The church was full as parents and friends of Jacobstow joined us for a wonderful harvest celebraion. The children sang songs together and also performed songs and poems in their classes. We talked about the meaning of Harvest and gave thanks for our local farming community, of which we are proud to be part of. Children brought in donations, which will be given to support the wonderful work of the Bude Food Bank, supporting families inthe local community.

This morning staff and children at Jacobstow were treated to a truly magical performance of 'The Nutcracker' when Toscana Strings visited the school. The children were captivated by the mesmerising ballerina and the sensational live music, which brought the classic story to life in a way they will never forget. The visitors praised our pupils, commenting that Jacobstow was "probably the best school they had ever visited," recognising the children's exceptional behaviour and engagement throughout the performance. It was a wonderful experience that filled the school with classical music, wonder and excitement.

A huge thank you to Lowenna North - channel swimmer- for coming into Jacobstow Community Academy and inspiring our children to dream big. Our vision is to enable all children to 'grow, flourish and achieve the extraordinary.' Lowenna's achievement showed our children that nothing is impossible if you work hard, show resilience and give it all you've got. I can't wait to see what our children will achieve in the future.
