On Friday 27th March 2026 we welcomed 6 Schools to King George V playing fields for the annual Year 7 Cunningham Cup Rugby tournament. The games were split between 3 pitches with every school playing one another in a round-robin format. From the first whistle to the last, there were great skills, teamwork and resilience on display from everyone involved. Well done to DHSB who ran out victorious, winning the gold after going unbeaten all day. Our silver medal winners were St Boniface, and bronze went to Eggbuckland, but it really could have gone any way on a different day, so well done to everyone involved. Also a big thank you to OPM for letting us have access to their amazing facilities.

Wednesday 25th March 2026 – Our Plympton Academy Sports Leaders were back in action this morning, hosting another of our PSSP Primary Inclusion Boccia events. Prior to the event, our leaders had some training in how to lead Boccia activities and helped to set up and welcome the schools. We were at capacity today with 12 teams in attendance! Children from Salisbury Road, Chaddlewood, Plympton St. Mary’s, Old Priory, Plympton St. Maurice, Cann Bridge and Courtlands came along to take part in our friendly event aimed at developing new skills and having a lot of fun. Boccia is a Paralympic sport that is played from a seated position. It is a target game that involves accuracy and strategy and more importantly, is a lot of fun. We don’t keep any scores at these events, instead the focus is on having fun, meeting other children from different schools and developing our target skills. We play a few games and then move around so each school can play as many other children as possible. I would like to say a huge thank you to our leaders from Plympton Academy (pictured above) – the games were so well organised and the children really enjoyed their time with us. A big thank you and shout out as well to Tamsin (PSSP) for her support once again. Well done to all of the children who took part today, I really hope you enjoyed it and would be keen to come back. I hope to see you all soon at another Inclusion event.

Wednesday 18th March – Plymouth Life Centre

Monday 16th March 2026 - Today our team of Sports Leaders from Tor Bridge High hosted one team from Thornbury and one team from St. Matthew’s for our friendly Y2 Multi Skills festival. Lots of excited (and slightly nervous) children took over our sports hall to try numerous activities and hopefully have a lot of fun. The activities range from tests of skill and accuracy with the Bean Bag Throw; team events such as a Sprint Relay and Ladder Relay; speed and agility with the Speed Bounce and even a test of strength with the Chest Push challenge. There were so many smiling faces in the hall this morning, it was fantastic to see so many children enjoying being physically active and challenged. I would like to say a huge thank you to our leaders – you really made the children relax and enjoy all the events – nothing but smiles come the end! Well done to all the Thornbury children who were the overall winners today and well done as well to St. Matthew’s who were right on their heels as runners-up. We really hope you enjoyed it and would be keen to come along to another event.
