We are very proud of our Gymnastics Squad who took part in the North Devon Schools Championship. For a small School with no hall we were amazing!
We have started our 2019/2020 Cross Country season. Our first race was at Kingsley School Bideford. It was wet and muddy but that didn't put us off! Results can be found on northdevonxcleague.weebly.com.
On Friday 9th February our year 6 children travelled to Bideford College to take part in the South West Schools Indoor Rowing Competition.
We were "Oursome!"
A huge well done to Effie who picked up a Gold Medal!
Our last Cross Country of the season has been cancelled. We are looking forward to a new date to complete the winter North Devon League.
We are in the Norh Devon Finals for High 5!
Our team of Emily, Charlotte, Effie, Isla, Liv, Nick , Bethan and Gabriel finished 2nd to Langtree on Tuesday in the Torrington Learning Community Competition meaning we now move on to the North Devon Finals!
Our Indoor Athletics Team worked really well together on Thursday at the North Devon finals. Our squad competed against large Schools of year 6's.

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.
