• Bodriggy Academy Park & Stride

  Wed 04 Jun 2025 Miss Carroll

  We are very excited to announce that we will be trialling a new initiative, here at Bodriggy that will support to reduce traffic outside of the school gates and give children a healthy, more active start to their day.

   

  We are calling this initiative ‘Bodriggy Academy Park and Stride’.

   

  How it works:

  Parents can arrive at Hayle Football club from 8.25am and park their cars. There will be school staff there to meet and greet. For children in Year 4 and under, we ask that parents remain with their child for the walk. Children from year 5 and 6 can be left with staff. We will then depart at 8.30am (prompt) and follow the approved route to school, arriving for 8.45am. Parents can then make the short walk back to their cars, once children are safely at school and through the gates. 

   

  Our aims for this initiative are to reduce congestion outside of school which will therefore improve safety for those walking on the paths and crossing the roads. We would also love to promote a healthier start to the day, both physically and mentally, as children can walk, talk and socialise, making them refreshed and ready for their day.

   

  Starting Wednesday 11th June and continuing every Wednesday until the end of term.

• Song Fest

  Thu 27 Mar 2025

   

  A massive ‘well done’ to the children who took part in the ASONE Music Hub’s Songfest event at St John’s Hall, this evening. They were fantastic and, as always, did themselves and Bodriggy Academy proud. Singing as part of a massed choir of local primary schools, they performed a selection of songs in a mixture of Celtic languages and English-no small feat!

  Congratulations to Bodriggy Block Busters on winning the ‘Engineering Excellence Award’ at the Lego League Cornwall Finals.

  An action-packed day at RNAS Culdrose with a plethora of exciting activities from VR and coding to AI building battles. The children represented the team and the school amazingly; the judges commended them on their innovation project presentation and core values.

  It’s safe to say, plans for next year are already underway!
