Four teams went to the Chance to Shine Outdoor Cricket Competition, below is a summary of how the all got on. We welcome any new students who would like to join the Cricket Club. Cricket training continues outdoors on Mondays and Fridays during break two and on Wednesdays after school (3.30 until 4.30 pm). We also look forward to taking members of the Cricket Club on a trip to watch Somerset vs Hampshire in July.

South Dartmoor Music Centre April 2023 update. We are pleased to now be able to offer additional group tuition for trumpet, violin and tuned percussion.

It has been a busy winter season for the geographers of South Dartmoor. The exam groups in Year 11 and 12 have been honing their geographical research skills in, what we call the “real world”. In exercises designed to stun them into the realisation that the things that we have been learning in the class room can actually happen!

During February half term the History Department had the privilege of taking a group of Year 11 to 13 students to Rome to see amongst other things the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill and Circus Maximus, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, various sites around the city related to Italian Fascism, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel.

We are very grateful for the ongoing support that The Helen Foundation and Daisi (arts inspired learning) provide for creative activities at South Dartmoor.  The foundation is facilitating a wonderfully creative, printmaking experience for our Year 9 and 12 students.

During Body Language Week we seized the opportunity to team up with Street Factory founder Toby G and the Hip Hop Educate Dance Ambassadors, Laila and Jackson.
