In the interval, Sam P (Yr8) showed astute tournament tactics b

On Thursday, Year 11 travelled to Dartmoor to complete the 'rivers' fieldwork element of their Geography GCSE course. A crucial part of their study, and a real test of their resilience (the water was certainly cold). Staff were super proud of how they conducted themselves throughout the whole day. Well done, Team Geography! And no-one, absolutely no-one, fell over - even a little bit 😬

Tenacity personified! In the words of our Capt, Henry S, in his pre-match team talk – “this is going to be a tough one boys, but we keep going and work for each other!” Indeed it was, against a very strong Plymouth College side who are well drilled and physically well developed, and include Rugby scholarship players; we fought hard, had good spells with the ball and certainly developed our defensive tactics and technique. Despite being unable to score we stuck at it and the g

Our girls started their Plymouth Schools central venue season with enthusiasm and nervousness combined. Immy B showed her power and led the way with Franz B and Lilly G backing her up nicely and developing confidence and aggression the more they played. Playing Hele’s first up was a hard task but matches were close, with 3 going to the last few points and one doubles game into overtime to get a winner. However, Hele’s made the most of their chances when it was tight and event

On Sunday 12th October, five Eggbuckland students performed on a West End stage! These students are part of PQA and performed 'Across the Line' at His Majesties Theatre.

That is why 7 of the Eggbuckland staff are running the 10 Days of 5km Challenge this October. Together, we will each run 5k ten times t
