Exminster Community Primary School

We aim to help every child reach and exceed their full potential through providing a rich and varied range of learning opportunities within a broad and balanced curriculum. Learning is planned in every class to meet all needs. We aim to find children’s strengths and use these within school to develop children’s confidence and love of learning. ‘Be the best that we can be’. We pride ourselves in being a highly inclusive school. Inclusion is about adapting for the needs of our learners – however minor or major their needs may be. This has benefits for all learners, learning to celebrate our differences and individuality. Exminster Community Primary School plays an integral part in life of our village. We maintain a strong family village school ethos. We feel it is essential that children develop an understanding of our school family, our local family, our national family and our international family. Diversity and respect are a golden thread within all that we do.

My grandson is coming to the end of his third year at Exminster Community Primary School and, given his domestic situation, has come on in leaps and bounds. In his three years here, he's had some good teachers who have all had positive input to his education. I am in an age group where I do not understand or really comprehend why a subject has to be taught in a particular way but, all teachers are available to help and advise and answer any questions. Other members of staff who cater for the children's welfare have also had an impact on my grandson and have helped him through a few bad ''patches'' and he manages to keep smiling. Year on year, his school reports are average to above average so, I thank the teachers for keeping him motivated. Sadly, this school as nearly every other school in the country, has to dream up a multitude of different ways of bringing in money to supplement their budget. This can be a nuisance but, parents do the best they can and, without this ''extra'' money, the school would have to do without many educational tools necessary for the children's improvement. There is an air of helpfulness at the school; bullying is definitely NOT tolerated and all children are helped and encouraged to stretch themselves to reach their individual potential. If it were possible to roll back the clock and if I had children, I would definitely have no fears about enrolling them at our village school. They are as safe as houses and help is always at hand whether from teaching staff or assistants or admin staff. It's a great school to be a part of.
