Joe Pearce and Joe Hill in the Sixth Form were selected to play for South West Lambs, a team made up from the most talented rugby players in the region, on Saturday. Joe Pearce explained: ‘the match was exciting and fast paced, with a range of skills on display. We played at Oundle School against England Lambs North and East. The experience was very enjoyable and we were both very pleased to be selected to take part.’ Well done to both our boys.

At the Devon Schools Cross Country Championships last weekend, our students performed outstandingly, whilst representing North Devon. Individually, there were some exceptional performances with Nyla Roode coming second, George Thomas fifth and Seb Page ten in their categories.

In muddy conditions, the overall North Devon teams came first in the Minor Girls category, the Junior Girls and Intermediate Boys and second in the Minor Boys and Junior Boys. What a fantastic set of results.

Runners from West Buckland who represented North Devon at the event were Seb Page, Noah Tovell, Nyla Roode, Emily Mackenzie Shapland, Winnie Friend, Ryan Coll, James Hare, Megan Brooks, Zac Allaway, Megan Thomas, George Thomas.

Congratulations to all our runners, we’re extremely proud of you.
