another Girls’ Football milestone, having already won the FA National
Under 13 FUTSAL Schools’ Cup.

have been nothing short of remarkable. I am very proud of their
commitment and attitude to become not only the best in Devon, but
the best in the whole country for
their age. Well done girls!!”

Continuing with the fantastic footballing achievements at the College are
the Under 12 Boys’ Football Team who have won the Devon Schools Under

excellent,” said Dave Leonard,

Athletics Team Celebrates another
Successful Season

The College Athletics Team is celebrating yet another successful season,
with strong team and individual performances.
The Years 7, 8 and 9 teams each won the West Devon Super 8 competition with the Year 7 team going through
to the Devon Finals. Sadly, there is no further competition for the Year 8 and 9 teams.
We again entered 4 teams in the English Secondary School Athletics Competition. Each team performed well
at Exeter Arena in May, but special mention must go to the Intermediate Girls’ Team, who finished 1st in Devon
and Cornwall. They recently competed in the South West Regional Championships and narrowly finished 2nd
to St Pates Grammar School, Cheltenham. There have also been a number of individual successes, with many
athletes selected for the Devon Schools Team.
Jarred Waldron, Head of Year 10 said, “Special mention must also go to Lili Fern in Year 9, who finished 1st in
the 2 lap race in the National Finals, in Manchester, earlier this year. Lili is a strong runner who has a wonderful
athletics career ahead of her.”
