At Mylor Bridge CP School, we take great pride in the 'Community' part of our school name. Taking part in community‑based activities provides pupils with meaningful learning experiences that enrich the curriculum and support their personal development. Bolow you will see some examples of how we have engaged with our local community recently. Have a look at our newsletters for other events.
Sense of Belonging Community involvement helps children understand the world around them and recognise their role within it. By engaging with local groups, events and spaces, pupils develop pride in their community and a stronger sense of identity.
Responsible Citizenship Through participation in local projects and partnerships, children learn the importance of contributing positively to society. These experiences help pupils develop social responsibility, empathy and an understanding of how their actions can make a difference.
Confidence and Communication Skills Working with community members and taking part in public events provides pupils with opportunities to interact with a variety of people. This supports the development of confidence, communication and social skills in real‑life contexts.
Practical Skills and Personal Growth Many community experiences involve teamwork, problem‑solving and hands‑on participation. Pupils learn to follow instructions, work collaboratively and adapt to new challenges, supporting their overall personal growth.
Supporting Wellbeing Engaging in local events, outdoor activities and community initiatives provides children with enjoyment, variety and opportunities for connection. These experiences contribute positively to their mental and emotional wellbeing.
