About Us
We are an area primary school located close to Kingsbridge in Devon. The school is set in spacious grounds flanked with mature trees, with a woodland stream safely running through the site. There is ample room for all the children to play throughout the year with the linked playgrounds, soft terrace area and grassy field areas.
Classes
We have seven classes starting in Foundation Stage going through to Year 6. Each Year Group has its own class. The school was built in 1968 and the classrooms are located in three “hubs” with easy access for all into the large hall in the centre. All seven classrooms have interactive whiteboards and access to state of the art ICT equipment. We have experienced Teaching Assistants who support the teaching and learning throughout the school and deliver short-term intervention programs for individual children, when needed.
Facilities
Our facilities include a heated swimming pool, climbing wall, climbing equipment, on site kitchen, sports field and a covered area for outside play for our smallest children. Disabled access is not an issue with all classrooms on the level. We have two hard-surface playgrounds, one for the younger children, the other for the older children, as well as lovely playing fields and a wooded area; providing plenty of space for everyone to learn and have fun.
