A-Z on EF Academy Torbay
A is for Activities!
Here at EF Academy Torbay we always have a fun range of activities for our students to sign up to! Last weekend was a trip to Cardiff and we love to go to Bristol. We also love paint balling, so much fun to run around and get your competitive side out!
B is for Badminton!
Here at EF Academy Torbay badminton is one of our most favourite clubs. Badminton happens on a Monday and Thursday evening between 16.15 and 17.15 – look at our players smiling faces! We plan to have one or two matches every month so everyone who wants to can represent our school. If you don’t already come to the Club and are interested in coming along to play, you must sign up on “e praise” first as numbers are limited.
Keep up the good work everyone!
C is for Cross Country!
This year we are extra proud of our cross country runners with two of our students qualifying for nationals!
Congratulations Diego and Dasha and good luck for the next race!

We are so close to such a beautiful national park which we use to practice for our Duke of Edinburgh award. Dartmoor is a vast moorland not too far from us here in Torbay. Where else can you go where ponies roam freely!
