At St Ives Junior School, we are more than just a school – we are a thriving, dynamic community where we believe that “Together Everyone Achieves More,” and this spirit of teamwork between children, staff, and families is at the heart of everything we do. Learning together isn’t just a philosophy – it’s our pathway to be ‘Free to Fly’.

As an inclusive and nurturing school, we ensure that every child feels a sense of belonging, confidence, and inspiration to reach their full potential.

We hope our website provides valuable insight into life at St Ives, but nothing compares to experiencing our school’s unique energy in person. If you have any questions, need further information, or are new to the area, we warmly invite you to visit and discover the St Ives buzz for yourself!

Well, that’s SATs week complete! All of the pupils across Year 6 have been absolutely amazing this week. They have risen to the challenge of the SATs and displayed huge responsibility and resilience throughout the assessment period. They have given it their all but also encouraged one another along the way. All of the staff that have worked with them across the year, and this week, have commented similarly. They gave it their all, with a smile on their faces, and a spring in their steps!

It has been a pleasure to see them approach the week with gusto and demonstrate their wealth of knowledge maturely and intelligently. On behalf of the staff and the children, we would like to thank parents and carers for supporting your children and for getting them here on time and ready to go! We would also like to thank governors who have come in and supported ‘Brainy breakfast’ all week. A huge thank you goes to Michelle in the kitchen for making delicious breakfast meals this week. And of course, to the other pupils in the school who have moved around respectfully allowing the Year 6s to concentrate on their quizzes! London and ‘Staycation’ now beckons for the Year 6s, next week…

On Monday 12th May the SIJS girls Football team went to Charlestown Football Club for the semi final of the cup. The girls played Archbishop Benson in the semi final of the cup, followed by a second game against St Mewan. The girls were outstanding and played amazing football all afternoon. A 7-0 loss did not reflect the game. What an amazing achievement to get to the semi final of the cup.

Our year 3 children were invited to visit the Guildhall today, where they were offered a saffron bun and a drink from the Loving Cup.
The silver Loving Cup is a unique piece of historic civic regalia which was presented to the town in 1640 by Sir Francis Bassett, Sheriff of Cornwall and Recorder of St Ives. It is famous for its commemoration to the Town inscribed upon it:

If any discord ‘twixt my friends arise
Within the borough of belov’d St. Ives,
It is desirèd this my cup of love
To everie one a peace-maker may prove.
Then am I blest to have given a legacie,
So like my harte, unto posteritie.
