  • Local students record Christmas jingle for East Devon Radio

    Published 15/12/23

    Year 7 students from West Exe School, part of the Ted Wragg Trust, have recorded a Christmas jingle to be played on East Devon Radio this festive season.

    The students will be spreading yuletide cheer across the airwaves after their jingle debuted on the local radio station this morning (13th December.)  East Devon Radio is a community radio station, based in Exmouth, the station was launched in 2006 coinciding with the Exmouth festival.

    West Exe students also took part in Christmas Jumper Day on the 7th of December in exchange for a charitable donation and have also put on a Christmas concert with students singing a selection of festive carols.

    Across the city at another Ted Wragg school, the Cranbrook Education Campus, pupils also took part in Christmas Jumper Day, and they have been collecting gifts to pass on to refugee families to make sure no child goes without a toy this Christmas.

    The Cranbrook Education Campus hosts the EX5-Alive community hub which will be open on the 14th of December between 4.30pm and 6.30 pm and on the 21st of December between 10am and 12pm if anyone needs any support in the run-up to Christmas. 

    Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Multi-Academy Trust said:

    “I am delighted to hear that West Exe students have recorded a festive jingle for East Devon Radio and look forward to hearing it throughout December.  I am also so proud of the work Cranbrook pupils have done to ensure that local refugee families have a Merry Christmas.  The Ted Wragg Trust wants every child we educate to leave us a compassionate and thoughtful individual and thinking of others is at the core of this.”

  • Ide Primary School pupils visit West Exe School for a science seminar...

    Published 04/12/23

    West Exe School, part of the Ted Wragg Multi-Academy Trust, held a science seminar this month for pupils from Ide Primary School.

    West Exe science teachers Miss King and Miss Flynn led the session, with a team of science helpers from the secondary school helping to teach their younger peers.

    It was a fascinating and hands-on session with a heart dissection taking place, a life-like demonstration of how food is digested in our body and also an examination of air resistance and parachutes. 

    Julie Fossey, Headteacher at West Exe School said:

    “It was lovely to have pupils from Ide Primary School visit us for a science seminar.  I know they took a lot away from the session and it was brilliant to see our older pupils passing their knowledge on to the younger children.”

    Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Multi-Academy Trust said:

    “I was delighted to hear about the science seminar West Exe put on for local primary pupils.  It’s never too early for younger children to start coming along to secondary school events, as not only do they get a chance to learn, it can help them to feel more comfortable and confident when it comes to starting in Year 7.”
