Swimming Gala

We recently attended a swimming gala at Torbay Leisure Centre, organised by Paignton Academy. Seven schools took part in the event, with children competing in a variety of 25m, 50m, and relay races.

Throughout the gala, our swimmers demonstrated great determination, resilience, and teamwork, giving their best effort in every race. The competition was strong, and all participants should be proud of their achievements.

This event links to our ‘30 Ways to Connect Charter’ by providing children with the opportunity to represent the school in the wider community. The children were excellent ambassadors, showing respect, sportsmanship, and encouragement towards others throughout the day. A special thank you goes to the pupils from Paignton Academy who helped to facilitate the event; they did a fantastic job supporting the races, recording results, and ensuring the gala ran smoothly.

We are delighted to share that, overall, our team finished in an impressive 3rd place. Well done to all of our swimmers for representing the school so positively and embodying our School Values.
