Our School Motto

‘Kara Dyski - Love Learning’

Our school motto 'Love Learning' embodies our commitment to nurturing a lifelong love for knowledge in our children.  We encourage them to embrace every learning opportunity with enthusiasm and curiosity.

‘Kara Dyski’ is the Cornish translation of ‘Love Learning’ and reflects a deep pride in our Cornish heritage.

Our School Values

Our values  make our school a wonderful place to learn and grow together.

Our values are not just words on a wall; we are dedicated to creating a school ethos where these values are demonstrated daily and where each child feels valued and supported.  These values are at the heart of our school culture and shape the experiences and education we provide here at Port Isaac CP School.

Our commitment to these values extends beyond the classroom. Together, as a school community, we can help our children grow into compassionate and capable individuals. As parents and carers, you play a significant role in reinforcing these values at home. Your partnership with us is invaluable, and we welcome open communication to ensure that our shared values are consistently upheld.

Community

Our school is a family, we belong, and together we thrive.

 Respect

 Resilience

Joy

The school is well supported by The Doc Martin fund , Doc Martin being a TV programme that was filmed here for many years and has made the village known the world over. The fund subsidises many aspects of our extra-curricular provision and help us to create the ‘magic’ that school days should involve. We work with local artists who share their skills and passions with us. Our village is rich with creativity and is home to The Fisherman's Friends and many artists. It is steeped in history and we are very proud of our Cornish heritage.
