Class of the week: Under 16's Netball Team. ''They were one of two schools in West Devon who qualified for the Devon finals and played in Exeter last week. They won two of their matches, against Maynard’s and Colyton, and lost to West Buckland and Churston to come third in their pool. They had a close game against Exeter School in the 5th/6th play-off, losing by one goal. The standard was exceptionally high, and the girls did themselves proud.'' Nominated by Mrs Luscombe.
