Here's our contribution of some Red, White and Blue celebrations for the Coronation weekend. What a brilliant community event. The children really rose to the challenge of some tough and tiring dances. They were also determined to do the hardest Maypole dance, the plait, and managed to unwind it too. It was lovely to hear from several residents and visitors [...]
Our first day back at school had two things special about it - the start of our school value, "We Are a Community" and it being Shrove Tuesday too! Love Your Neighbour As Yourself (look at the whoops! Cheers and hugs that Miss Trute got for wining the staff race) And also congratulations to the ever-so competitive Team Parker for [...]
Apart from wet play interrupting our enjoyment outside, we all had a great day, learning lots. I thought I'd share a couple of photos - class 3 lying down and having a rest, and class 4 clearly having a lovely day tasting different breads.

Thank you for your understanding at our early closure for half term. It was a good decision looking at how bad it finally got. We only got slight damage here with [...]
Dear parents, Following advice from Devon County Council, and working in partnership with the other BLCT schools, we have made the difficult decision to shut the school tomorrow. The risk assessment of our school site, and the journeys our families make, has highlighted a number of hazards which could cause harm to an adult or child and we have very [...]
