Miss Ashford brings Volleyball!!

Let me introduce myself, my name is Miss. Ashford and I am working here at West Exe within the PE department while Miss. White is on maternity leave.
While I am here I am looking to introduce the game of volleyball to the students. I will be running a volleyball club on a Thursday after school in the gym.
My background in volleyball all started while I was at secondary school and I have been involved in the game ever since. The highlight of my playing career was during the 2008/2009 season when I was chosen to represent Guernsey against Jersey in the annual inter-insular competition (we won!).
Last season however I turned my hand to coaching and fulfilled the role of Junior Development Officer for the GVA. I was able to work with youngsters of all ages and abilities and really enjoyed the experience.
The game of volleyball allows you to develop new skills and teamwork whilst having fun and meeting new people.
Don’t forget: Volleyball, Thursdays, in the Gym. See you there.

Who knows, you could be our next olympain or world champion.

Gifted and Talented

Well done to our Gifted and Talented students. We have fifty gifted and talented students, who have been recognised for their talent in their chosen activity. These range from gymnastics, football, basketball to water polo, go-karting and motor cross.
A special well done to Amy. C who recently swam for Devon and to the students who appear in the photo who have all represented the county or above in their sport.
We are always looking for new talent, so if you have represented the district or above in any sport, or have had a recent success story we would love to hear all about it.
