• Y5/6 Cross Country

  Fri 28 Jan 2022

  Tonight, our fantastic Y5/6 cross country team took to the fields again for the first of four league races. The children showed huge grit and determination in their first race in over a year, and for some it was their first race ever. There were lots of top 20, 10 and 5 placed runners, but special mention goes to Zac in Y5, who won bronze tonight. Well done everyone, and we’ll see you all next week for round 2.

  

• Year 3/4 PSSP Multi Skills Festival

  Tue 02 Nov 2021

  Today we finally restarted our inter school sporting events after a very long Covid break. Our very excited team of Year 3 and 4 pupils took part in the PSSP festival at Coombe Dean School. The morning saw them participate in ten events, which challenged their balance, coordination and speed. They had a fantastic time being coached by the secondary sports leaders, who really inspired them to be the best that they could be. Many thanks to the Plymouth School Sports Partnership for working in a Covid safe way, while still providing high quality events for our pupils.

• Bettinson Cup

  Wed 15 Jan 2020

  On Wednesday 15th January 2020, the school football team travelled to Manadon Sports Hub to take part in the Bettinson Trophy. There were two groups with five teams in each group and whoever came first in the group went through to the final. in our group we had Bickleigh Down, Hooe, Lipson Vale and Woodford. Our first game was against Lipson Vale and we won 5-0. We felt excited to carry on. All of our next 3 games ended in losses but we only lost by one goal. The most important thing was that we all enjoyed it.
