The Philosophy and Religious Studies department at Churston Ferrers Grammar School is pleased to announce the return of our Philosophy Competition. To enter, you must currently be in Y5 studying at a primary school in Torbay. You will need to respond to the prompt "What might a healthy planet look like?" by drawing a picture of a healthy planet and giving a brief explanation of what you've drawn and why. The top three entries from students at Torbay based primary schools will be sent a National Book Token worth £10. Entries will be judged by our Sixth Form philosophy subject champions, who will be looking for both artistic merit and articulate explanation. The competition closes at noon on Tuesday 16th of June 2026. Please follow this link for more details on how to enter and for a template for students to complete. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1eHvXocPc02WjGEwdB5pjLuCOwNRiGQFWIBKkMLKUsPs/edit?usp=sharing All the best of luck! #CFGS #churstongrammar #churstongrammarschool #CFGSFutures #CFGSFutureStories #WeAreChurston #ChurstonTogether

Congratulations to Aaron (Y13) and Sam (Old Churstonian) who were jointly awarded the Athlete of the Year 2025 Award (u20 male category) at Exeter Harriers Athletic Club. Both recipients are currently Devon County Champions in their respective events. They have shown incredible resilience and dedication with their training and it has been fantastic to see that commitment paying off on the track. The Award was presented by British long-distance athlete Jo Pavey, which made the award presentation even more memorable. Well done to you both - we're really proud of you! #CFGS #churstongrammar #churstongrammarschool #CFGSsuccess #CFGSachievement #CFGSsport #ChurstonTogether #WeAreChurston

A group of 32 Y4 students from Galmpton Primary school, accompanied by their class teacher Mrs Gorman visited the Physics department as part of their project into Light and Sound. We had a great time exploring the properties of different lenses, projecting pictures and measuring focal length before going full pirate and putting two lenses together to make proper, working telescopes! There were gasps of amazement all round as the lenses projected images onto screens and then when the pupils looked through their telescopes to see the world outside - but closer! #CFGS #churstongrammar #churstongrammarschool #CFGSphysics #CFGSfuturestories #physics #WeAreChurston
