We understand that the experiences children encounter as they grow shape them into the people they become. Nestled in the Blackdown Hills, at the heart of our community, our school provides a wealth of rich and purposeful experiences that aid in the development of our children.

Our progressive and thoughtfully designed curriculum allows children to acquire key skills in contexts meaningful to them. Alongside learning within our community and exploring the surrounding areas, children benefit from the diverse experiences that living in Devon offers.

Our learning values are intricately woven into our curriculum and daily practices. By consistently incorporating these values, teachers help children develop interpersonal skills, resilience, creativity, independence, and critical thinking. These values build a strong foundation for life, equipping children with the skills needed to navigate the challenges of their next educational stages. We recognise each child as a unique individual, celebrating and welcoming diversity within our school community. Learning is underpinned by teaching basic skills, knowledge, concepts, and values. We continually provide enrichment opportunities to engage students, believing that childhood should be a happy, investigative, and curious time with no limits to exploration and a thirst for new experiences and knowledge.

Community involvement is a vital part of our curriculum, as we celebrate local traditions and learn new skills that enable children to actively participate in events throughout the year. Children leave our school with a sense of belonging to a strong community, equipped with the confidence and skills to make decisions, self-evaluate, make connections, and become lifelong learners.
