Our school field was used by Devon Air Ambulance this morning for a gentleman in the community. The gentleman is on his way to hospital. What a great job these people do! We wish the gentleman a speedy recovery and thank everyone in the Air Ambulance and NHS for all they do to keep us safe 🤩 Well done also to all the staff, children and parents for following instructions so well to keep everyone at school safe too 👏👏
