Stoke Canon Primary School

We are going through a consultation phase with parents of pre school children as to the sustainability of pre school if we should open for 2 mornings per week, in addition to the 5 afternoons that we currently operate.

Congratulations to all those involved in raising this fantastic sum. The pupils who ran the sale in church, the year 5 class that raised over £500 for a sponsored silence, those who made donations and the church members who got involved with our appeal. Let's hope the money can make a difference.

Fresh start school meals, wholly cooked from scratch in our newly fitted kitchen, using locally sourced ingredients, launched on 16th November. They cost £1.95 and have been extremely well received by pupils and staff.

The children had a fantastic day, each class trying out various types of long and short rope skipping and games. We finished the afternoon with a skipping display. Pictures on news page.

Stoke Canon performed superbly in the Devon Athletics Finals at Paignton to finish in 8th place, the highest placed of any Exeter or East Devon team.

A year 5 and 6 team of 15 pupils took part in this event at Exeter Arena. Stoke Canon beat 5 other Exeter and district schools to become champions- they now go on to the Devon Finals in Paignton, as Exeter's representatives ! What a day ! Pictures above....

This was held on Sunday, with the Bishop of Crediton attending. 4 pupils represented the school and showed a large model of the church made by year 6 pupils. The congregation was invited into school after the service for tea and cakes, reinforcing the links between church and school. Photo above, by courtesy of Don Hanson

All the children enjoyed drumming workshop with 'Drum Crazy'. The day finished with a performance by the year 5 and 6 children on the playground. Thanks to Friends of School who funded the day ! See photos above.

Stoke Canon finished 11th out of 12, but on our first appearance in the gala, it was a brave effort from everyone. Caleb Slade, Emily Pring, Laura Westaway, Jack Vicary, Danielle Balsdon, Lucy Bourne and Jake Petersen all did extremely well to reach event finals. We'll be back next year ! See the photos above.

Years 6 and 5 gave 2 fantastic performances of their summer musical- photos to follow soon !

13 pupils enjoyed a day out at the Devon Music Mix. They took part in a djembe drumming workshop, tried out a variety of instruments, enjoyed group singing and watched a variety of acts, including taiko drumming and a blues band. (Pictures above)
