Outdoor Areas

At the front of the school is a tarmac playground. Outside Class 1 there is a special fenced area for the younger children. At break and lunch times the children have different areas that they can use for playing.  The younger children use the fenced area.

The top of the playground has an area for ball games. The children from the other classes can utilise the tarmac area for playing with the hoops, soft ball, catching etc.

Outside Class 2 there is an area where the children can use construction toys.

 

In addition, the school has a hard court sports area for those interested in football/basketball. This is used every day at playtimes and on Tuesday and Fridays for P.E and after school clubs.

 

The Years 4,5 and 6 act as Prefects and help look after the tag, hoop and fenced area, two members of staff are always on duty at any given time.

​

Behind the school there is a large playing field, which incorporates an ecological conservation area with a pond, poly-tunnel and a school garden. This area was developed by parents, staff, children and members of the local community.

​

When the weather cooperates the children use the field to play. It is also used for football, rounders matches and the East Devon Cross Country which Stockland hosts every year. It is well attended with approximately 20 schools sending teams of 16 children. The first race takes place in October with the final of the 4 races in the season taking place in March.

​

Stockland Village Hall is almost opposite the school and is sometimes used for after school clubs and other events.
