The Elburton football team are currently Plymouth champions. After successfully achieving this, they were asked to represent Plymouth Argyle at the South of England finals at Southampton Football Club. The team also represented Plymouth in the South West finals finishing runners up. A video of the children's day at Southampton is below:
Young Voices
Our Year 5/6 choir had a FANTASTIC evening at the Young Voices choir, consisting of 5300 children. They performed at the Resorts World Arena; previously having the likes of Beyoncé, Tom Jones and Prince perform there! The children sang Pop, Rock and 90s Classics.
Year 5 Residential
Each year our Year 5 children visit Barton Hall in Torbay for their residential trip. Spending a week away from home, trying new activities and sports is always a huge adventure for our children.
STEM Club
An absolutely incredible day at Perranporth airfield with our STEM club.
