In June we were a finalist at the School Travel Awards for our 5-day residential trip to Powys in Wales for our pupils in Years 5 & 6. School trips are an integral part of life at St Ives & the learning outside the classroom here is phenomenal!

We're very proud that the ISI Inspectors regarded us as 'Double Excellent' after their inspection this year. They also picked up on the values we hold dear & their report is littered with quotes like this one. The report can be read in full on our website.

It's International Day of Friendship today! Making friends & building relationships is such an important part of life here at St Ives. Pupils make solid friendships, many of which they'll keep for life. Today is a day for valuing friends!

Every term we hold a 3-day festival on a different subject which allows the children to explore topics beyond the curriculum. Our first festival this year was an environmental one where the children explored the impact humans have on the environment.

For our second festival, St Ives was transformed into Hogwarts for a Harry Potter theme to enhance the children’s learning of magical storytelling & this theme was brought to life in all areas of the curriculum for the three days of the festival.

Our third festival of the year was a Sports Festival. The objective was to explore the world of sport - from understanding the commercial side of sport, to sports psychology, to sports science, to the health benefits to the sheer enjoyment of playing & learning new sports.

Our pupils love learning! 100% of them agreed with the statement 'I enjoy doing maths'! (Pupil Survey Nov 2022, Edurio Learning from Learners).

Today is National Book Lovers Day! St Ives has a very strong culture of reading with 95% of our pupils saying they like reading.

Today is National Sons & Daughters Day, which we are very happy to celebrate. Since going fully co-ed in 2020, we have loved watching the boys thrive in our care & families love being able to educate their children together.

Happy Lefthanders Day! This is a great opportunity to salute the 10% of the population who are left handed, including Prince William, Barack Obama & our very own Kay Goldsworthy, Head Teacher at St Ives. Enjoy your special Day!

We pride ourselves on teaching our pupils to understand the values of community & giving back. During our ISI Inspection, pupils recalled all the charity work & fundraising projects they've been involved in over the last year.

Some regard tennis as a Summer sport. Not us at St Ives! We play all year round & love doing so. In fact, tennis is so popular, 85% of our school pupils have tennis lessons every week! #tennis #prepschooltennis

A brilliant start to Hockey Club by Years 4 & 5 yesterday. Pupils loved playing quick, competitive games against each other to practise their skills & keep warm in the setting sun. #hockey #hockeyclub #haslemere #haslemereschool #sport #schoolsport
