Welcome to Exbourne Primary School: About us
As a small, rural Primary, Exbourne prides itself on its warm and welcoming atmosphere and also its strong connections with the local community.
In September 2011, Exbourne Federated with Okehampton College and Boasley Cross, Bridestowe and Lydford Primaries. In September 2015 Northlew and Ashbury Church of England Primary also became part of our Federation. Highampton Primary School joined the Federation in April 2017. The Dartmoor Federation has provided many additional opportunities for our schools to support and work together. As a result, we have been able to offer a range of enrichment activities, often combining our pupils for days such as a trip to the Eden Project and residential activity weeks to Heatree, Bude and London. Pupils also have the chance to join the Federation netball and football teams, which compete in a league against other local, larger primary schools.
As the Federation continues to develop, pupils, staff and parents are all benefiting from structured collaboration, as all schools in the Federation Family strive to attain consistently outstanding standards.
Exbourne has provided education for the local community for over 100 years. The original Trust Deed establishing the school in 1838 by the Church of England, recognised the importance of learning long before the main Education Act of 1870.
We sincerely hope your child will enjoy the time they spend at Exbourne and within our Federation Family. All staff endeavour to support pupils to be the best they can possibly be. Learning is a partnership, and we aim from our first meeting, to establish good communication between home and school to make sure pupils achieve their full potential.
Our school has the highest expectations for each child and we encourage our pupils to achieve academically and to become active contributors to society. Learning is a lifelong process and we aim to place sound foundations for all our pupils to gain success in their future lives.
As a competitive school, competition is actively promoted, and all pupils are supported to participate in a range of festivals and tournaments. At Exbourne, we aim to create a safe and secure environment in which everyone, regardless of background, colour, religion or disability is valued and supported.
As a Church School, Christianity is promoted as a way to live our lives. Services are held regularly in St Mary’s Church. Local ministers often lead worship and support the moral and spiritual development of our pupils.
If you have any questions or more information is required, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
