2017/2018
Our amazing school has certainly shone this week with their sporting achievements! Last Thursday Eden, Lexi, Georgia Emily and Erin travelled to Torquay to represent North Devon in the Devon Winter Games. (Cross Country event). In a field of nearly 90 runners, Eden came 1st and after a long nervous wait we were delighted to hear that Monkleigh Primary School took the honours of 1st Team in Devon! Wow! Such an achievement. Thank you to Mrs Amanda Reeves for travelling down with our team.
