As part of the celebrations we have made arrangements with the local STEAM RAILWAY TRUST for students to travel to school on Friday 12th October using the steam train as was the case 50 years ago.

There will be no charge for the journey.

The train will pick up students at 3 points:

  • 8.00am at Paignton Station
  • 8.05am at Goodrington Station
  • 8.20am Students will be dropped at Churston Station
  • 8.25am Train leaves Churston Station
  • 8.35am approx. Kingswear Station – arrive at Churston Station 8.50am

We would like all students to come to school in 50’s style dress, (school uniform would be brilliant!) examples will be modelled during school assemblies.

The Dart Valley Railway is offering prizes of Round Robin Tickets for the Best Dressed Adults and Best Dressed Students.

Parents are welcome to use the train in the morning at these times.

The train WILL take back to PAIGNTON any relatives of students who are travelling to Churston with students on the morning of the 12th October.
