Years 7, 8 and 10 Progress to the Semi-Finals
It’s been an action-packed week of quarter-final fixtures for our teams, and we’re delighted to share that Years 7, 8 and 10 have all secured their places in the semi-finals.

Year 8 kicked things off on Monday with an away trip to Teign School on an exceptionally hot day. Despite the testing conditions, the boys put in a fantastic performance, playing with great spirit and securing a convincing win.

On Wednesday, Year 10 travelled to South Dartmoor Community College for their cup match. After a long break since their last outing, they wasted no time getting back into rhythm. A strong, confident display ensured their well-deserved progression to the semi-finals.

Thursday completed the trio of fixtures with Year 7 stepping up in style. The whole squad delivered an excellent performance, showcasing new patterns of play and fresh ideas with real confidence. Their dominant display saw them comfortably book their place in the next round.

Opponents for the upcoming semi-finals will be announced soon, and excitement is already building as we look ahead to the challenge of reaching the finals. We’re also hoping Years 9 and 11 can follow in their footsteps when they compete next week.

A huge well done to all the players involved, what a brilliant week of football for the school!

Our Year 9 Netball Leaders helped with the running of a local Primary School Netball tournament at Cockington Primary between Cockington A & B, Preston and Eden Park last week. The girls umpired all of the matches, as well as supported, encouraged and coached. It was a great opportunity for our students to develop their umpiring and leadership skills as well as the primary students who were able to enhance their netball🏐

The Year 11 Dancers have today completed their BTEC Tech Performing Arts Component 3, based on the theme “Common Ground.” This final component challenged students to bring together the skills they have developed throughout the course, culminating in to a full 7 minute performance.

Mrs Aplin is so so so incredibly proud of the effort and professionalism shown by all students. Completing Component 3 to such a high standard is a significant achievement, and they should feel confident in the progress they have made throughout the course 💃

Our Year 7 and Sixth Form Netball Academy teams have been in action this week. Our Year 7’s played against The Spires College with our A team taking the win and our B team narrowly losing. Our Sixth Formers played a highly contested match against Churston Grammar School and took a 35-30 win in the AOC Netball League. Well done all! 🏐

Our captain Emilee Fenner 👏🏽👏🏽😁 have a great game and well done from everyone at Torquay Academy
