St Andrew’s Primary School

At St Andrew’s we strive to the find the right balance between remaining a traditional village school while holding a forward-thinking outlook on education; the kind of school where one week the children practise maypole dancing for the village fair, and the next, rise to the challenge of designing a logo for one of our ERASMUS+ projects.

Our vision is to make greater use of our wonderful grounds and develop our muddy day and garden areas to enrich learning about the environment, organic food production and community enterprise. It was wonderful to see over forty of our parents, teachers, children, governors and neighbours at our recent school grounds community day, and I believe this is a good indicator of our community spirit. At this time of the year, it’s a real joy to see not only our children enjoying lessons in our swimming pool, but also the school community using this fabulous resource after school. We are also proud of our involvement in virtually every sporting event on offer in the West Devon area, especially becoming the Devon County Quicksticks Hockey champions.

We currently have some spaces in our Foundation and Year 2 classes for September, and if you think your child would thrive at St Andrew’s, I would be delighted to show you around our wonderful school!
