A massive congratulations to our amazing Junior Ten Tors team who took part in the event this weekend. They walked a huge 25km across Dartmoor, relying on their own navigation and map reading skills.
The children showed unbelievable endurance and teamwork whilst walking and at camp where they had to pitch their own tents and cook their own dinners.
The team have done Stowford incredibly proud!A huge thank you to Mr Green for training and leading the group. ⛰️🏕️

A post to celebrate our brilliant KS2 choir 🎶

They have had an extremely busy few weeks - not only within school but throughout the wider community as well.
They have opened the school fair, performed in three carol concerts, sung for the residents of Douro Court and joined Ivybridge Methodist Church for their Carols in the Carpark.

Their singing has been beautiful and they have got everyone in the festive spirit! 🎄
Miss Hughes has loved leading them and is very impressed with how they’ve represented our school.
Well done choir!
