Our amazing assembly performers are taking a break during exams.
On Sunday 10th May, George H represented the Exeter Chiefs U15 Rugby Foundation Academy (North). Playing at Hooker, a new position for George, he played well with his usual strength, skill and determination.
It was a strong game against the Bristol Bears Academy. Chiefs taking the win 34-17. Well played George!
Kaila, Anya, Ruby and Ellie along with their team mates are Devon girls football league Division 3 champions. Very well deserved with only two games to go the girls are currently undefeated.
