Primary schools from across Devon came together this month for the Ted Wragg Trust football tournament, a full day of fast-paced football, fantastic teamwork, and fierce but friendly competition.

Hosted under blazing sunshine, the tournament saw pupils from across the trust's primary schools display incredible sportsmanship, resilience, and determination, with every match full of passion and positive spirit.

After a series of exciting games, Exwick Heights Primary School emerged as the overall winners.  But in truth, every team left a winner, having taken part in a day that celebrated fair play, friendship, and fitness.

The event took place on the 3G pitch at the Marine Academy Campus. The pitch, which opened last year, was funded by the Ted Wragg Trust, Plymouth City Council, Tiger Turf and a grant from the Football Foundation. 

The tournament is part of the trust’s commitment to providing exceptional opportunities for all pupils, building character as well as skill, and giving children the chance to learn, lead, and succeed beyond the classroom.

Plans are already underway for next year’s tournament, with even more schools expected to take part in what is fast becoming a highlight of the trust’s sporting calendar.

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said:

 "Events like this are a brilliant example of what our trust is all about, bringing children together, raising aspirations, and showing that success can be measured in joy, effort and teamwork as much as trophies. A huge well done to all involved, especially the staff who made the day possible."
