• New Logo for Allotment Association!

  Mon 30 Nov 2020

  Earlier this year the newly formed 'Chudleigh Knighton Allotment Association' contacted us to inquire whether pupils would like to design the allotment's 'logo'.  The association received over 60 entries all of which were of a very high standard; making choosing the winner extremely challenging!  However, after much deliberation the winner and runners-up were finally selected, the winning entry was by Pippa with Alexia and Maisie very close runners-up, congratulations to the winning entries and to all who took part!

  The allotment association are keen to encourage children to develop their gardening skills and have offered a small area where children can have the opportunity to raise young plants a seedlings.

  This year's Remembrance Service took place in the school playground with pupils remaining within their 'class bubbles'.  Pupils in 'Beavers, Brownies, Guides, Rainbows, Cubs and Scouts wore their uniforms into school.

  The Last Post was played followed by two minutes silence, the Service then continued in a thoughtful and reflective manner with Year 6 children's powerful and moving recital of two well known World War 1 poems 'In Flanders Fields' and 'Please Wear a Poppy'. 

  After the Service children dressed in their respective uniforms, House Captains and Prefects walked across to St Paul's Churchyard to lay crosses on the three war graves in the cemetery.
