Cross country success as pupils on top form

Posted: 6th February 2026

The Devon Schools Cross Country championships took place on last Saturday in very wet conditions at West Buckland School and our pupils were in amazing form against the best runners in Devon.

Huge congratulations to Rory (L6), Penelope (U5) and Evie (3F) who were all crowned county champions. George (4F) also finished 6th (a year young) and joins the three winners at the southwest championship this Saturday where they will represent Devon at the Exeter Arena. There were also excellent performances from Omar & Sophie (U5), as well as Ariella & Barnaby (3F).

Thank you to Miss Barnes for her hard work with the cross country teams and her input in their continued success.
