Our amazing assembly performers are taking a break during exams.
At the end of April, Ella W was awarded her 1st degree Black Belt Certification in Tae Kwon Do and she received her award last weekend from Grand Master Dew, when she was helping out with the lower belt gradings.
She has been doing Tae Kwon Do since she was 9 years old and has attended numerous South-West competitions.
Congratulations Ella!
Rosie L completed the North Devon Hospice Night Walk in memory of her grandad on Saturday evening. 11 miles Bideford to Barnstaple starting at 7:30pm and finishing about 11:15pm.
Well done to Rosie for this massive achievement!
Chloe A since she was 3 years old has been big with fishing. She loves it often with us scaling cliffs on ropes to get to the spots some adults would refuse to attempt.
She's always been in the awards for club county and UK but this year in particular she's hit the ground running winning 2 out of 4 months so far this year for the Wyvern Fish of the Month which is an achievement as it's all the clubs members against each other. She won February and March, narrowly came 2nd in April and is now miles ahead for May.
It's something that may one day see her fishing for the England ladies team.
Congratulations Chloe!
Massive Cup Win for Cullompton Rangers U13’s Girls at The Culm Sampford Tournament on Saturday.
Both Cully teams Topping both groups, with the Reds just coming up short against Stoke Hill in the Semi finals.
Cullompton Blues only conceding one goal and un-defeated all day had enough to win against Stoke Hill in a dramatic final.
Congratulations Chloe P and Beth L winning the Cup
Congratulations to Clem H, Niamh C for finishing Semi Finalists
We love to celebrate our students’ achievements both in and out of school. Please email us a photo and a brief summary if your child has any extra-curricular achievements you would like featured in the bulletin. Information should be sent to office@uffculmeschool.bep.ac
Notice: PE Assessment Recordings - Parent Information
As part of our PE assessment process, we will be capturing video clips of pupils during lessons. These will be shared securely with appropriate Trust staff for assessment moderation purposes. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact at office@uffculmeschool.bep.ac by Friday 5th June.
Academic Progress Meetings for Years 7-10 - Wednesday 24 June 2026 - 2.30-6.30pm
These meetings are an opportunity for parents/carers to meet their child's tutor or another member of the pastoral team who has a key role in supporting them at school. They will be held in person at school on the afternoon/evening of Wednesday 24 June. School will therefore finish for all students at 1.15pm on that date.
Full details about arrangements and how to book appointments will be sent home after half term, but please be aware that if your child is usually collected from school by car, they will need to be collected at 1.30pm on 24 June. Our dedicated school buses will run at the earlier time and students who use public services will be able to catch earlier buses.
We look forward to seeing you on 24 June.
