About St. Mary's Primary School

St. Mary's is a primary school which serves the central part of the north Devon town of Bideford. We curently have 340 pupils on roll organised into 12 classes. We take children from the September after their 4th birthday and they leave in the July following their 11th birthday. Although some children transfer to other secondary schools, most move to Bideford College (the town's 11 - 18 comprehensive school), with which we have a close working relationship.

Skipping workshops- 3rd/4th November 2009

The whole school took part in a skipping workshop to help improve their skipping skills and enjoyment of PE. The sessions were run by a group from Exeter who came up and spent 2 days teaching children different skipping techniques and games that can be played on the playground.

Hopefully this will mean that lots more of our children will spend their lunchtimes skipping and improving their coordination and skipping skills.
