Year 9 Art is Off to an Incredible Start!

We are incredibly proud of our talented Year 9 artists, who have produced these stunning eye drawings in just their first few lessons of the year!

As part of their learning, students have been developing their ability to draw accurate facial features using line, tone, and careful observation. Using mirrors to study and draw their own eyes, alongside a range of reference images, they have created artwork that showcases remarkable skill, patience, and attention to detail.

The quality of these pieces is truly impressive, and the individuality and creativity displayed in every drawing has amazed us. It is wonderful to see our students embracing challenges, building their artistic confidence, and producing work of such a high standard.

Art at our school is thriving, and we can't wait to share more of the fantastic creativity happening in our classrooms throughout the year. We look forward to bringing you regular updates and celebrating the achievements of our young artists.

Well done, Year 9. These eye drawings are absolutely incredible, and you should be very proud.

Discover, Develop, Thrive!

Our exciting enrichment programme offers students a fantastic range of opportunities to explore new interests, build confidence and connect with others. From sports, music and the arts to creative clubs, academic support and wellbeing activities, there truly is something for everyone.

These clubs are an important part of school life, helping students discover new talents, pursue their passions and create lasting memories beyond the classroom. Whether they want to try something completely new or develop an existing skill, we encourage every student to get involved.

We look forward to seeing our students embrace all that our enrichment programme has to offer this year.

A Fantastic Start to Our Primary Sports Events Programme!

We were delighted to welcome pupils from our local primary schools for the first sports event of the year.

Led by our fantastic new team of Sports Leaders, the Year 6 students took part in a series of fun and engaging tennis activities designed to develop their skills, build confidence, and encourage teamwork. From rotational doubles and serving challenges to the ever-popular Zombies game, there was plenty of energy, laughter, and enthusiasm throughout the morning.

It was wonderful to see so many students having fun, making new friends, and leaving with smiles on their faces. Our Sports Leaders did an outstanding job, demonstrating maturity, leadership, and encouragement throughout the event.

A huge thank you to Iain from Bounce Back Tennis for supporting us and helping train our Sports Leaders ahead of the event. Their dedication and expertise played a key role in making the morning such a success.

We're already looking forward to our next primary events before half term, with Year 3 and 4 Handball followed by Year 1 and 2 Multi-Skills. Our Sports Leaders will be receiving their training over the coming weeks and can't wait to welcome even more young athletes to our school.

Thank you to all the pupils, staff, and schools who joined us. We love working with our local community and inspiring young people through sport.

A Huge Thank You to Amicus Health Mid Devon!

We are absolutely delighted to unveil our brand-new Girls' Rugby Kits, kindly sponsored by Amicus Health Clare House & Bampton

From our very first conversations, it was clear how passionate the team at Amicus are about supporting young people, promoting local school sport, and championing opportunities for girls to thrive both on and off the field.

It was fantastic to welcome some of the doctors from the Amicus team to school last week, alongside some of our dedicated girls rugby players. It was clear from the outset that Amicus are passionate champions of girls' sport, sharing our belief in the importance of creating opportunities for young women to participate, compete and thrive.

Greg Davies and the team at Amicus Health Mid Devon said:

"We're incredibly excited to support the next generation of local sportswomen. School sport plays such an important role in building confidence, teamwork and resilience, and we're proud to be part of that journey. We can't wait to see the girls wearing their new kit and wish them every success for the season ahead."

The arrival of the kits has created a real buzz amongst the squad, and our girls are eager to put them through their paces on the rugby field.

We are incredibly grateful for the support of local businesses such as Amicus Health Mid Devon. Community partnerships like this help create opportunities, build confidence, and ensure our students have access to the resources they need to flourish.

Please join us in thanking Amicus Health Mid Devon for their generosity and commitment to supporting both our school and girls' sport within our community.
