Inspection

As you are aware we were inspected this week by ISI. We are not allowed to discuss the contents of the report until it is published in a few weeks’ time, when we will look forward to sending a copy to you. Could I thank all of you who went to the trouble of filling in the questionnaires. I would also like to thank the children who have been so willing to talk to the Inspectors this week.

RESULTS

Plymouth College Prep had a great start to the football season with a 2:1 win away against Stover. Rowan Kirke scored both goals in less than 60 seconds in a spate of great team play in the second half. Zac Muquit made a fantastic save in the final minutes to ensure the win. A glorious team effort and played with great spirit.

The girls’ netball team also dominated their match winning by 3:1. Goals were scored by Megan Tinney, Charlotte Weinrich and Christina Angelakis. Well Done teams!

The new UK No. 1

400m Freestyle Champion

Dixie Turner-Moore

Congratulations to Dixie, who once again competed in the Devon County Championships at the weekend, picking up another two medals. With an amazing 23 seconds off her original time and a new Personal Best, Dixie propelled herself into No.1 position in the UK with a cool 5 seconds to spare. Her second race of the day, the 100m Individual Medley, also resulted in her ranking No. 4 in the UK in this event. Well Done, Dixie
