1935

The photograph to the left was given to the KHS by the late Maurice Sharland and shows what was then known as Kingsteignton Senior School just prior to its opening in 1935.

The school opened its doors to new pupils on 2nd December wit Mr Hugh Hosegood as its first headmaster.

The new school was built as part of a reorganistation of education in the village when a new three tier system of Infants, Junior and Senior schools was introduced.

The former Council School in Sandpath Road became the Junior School and the former Church School became the Church of England Infants' School.

1983 - Teign River Raft Race

Teign River Raft Race - Teigngrace to Teignmouth. This race was then an annual event and partipants had to build their own rafts. I think Health & Safety would probably stop this now !
