for our staff. We do this by striving to value, respect,
challenge, motivate and inspire each other. As you browse

speak to you personally.
Headteacher
Founded in the mid 19th century, we are a Church
of England Voluntary Aided Primary School on the Blackdown
Hills near Chard, Somerset.
Our current development priorities include:
ensuring children make excellent progress in writing
and reading
improving our approach to phonics
identifying the impact of our Christian character
on children’s learning and spiritual development
continuing to meet the requirements of Every
Child Matters
developing further learning opportunities through
play in foundation stage and key stage one
improving our use of the local environment to
enhance learning
We do this by working in partnership with
our children, parents, governors and wider community,
always aiming to achieve excellence and to develop
every child as an individual.

Beech class PGL visit
Beech class visited PGL in Torquay during October
for a week of outdoor and adventurous activities.
Visit their
class page for photos and more. All
the children enjoyed setting themselves challenging
targets to achieve during the week, and pushing
themselves to the limit of their capabilities
in activities such as abseiling, zip wire, raft
building and trapeze.
Harvest Festival
The whole school sang their hearts out at our
Harvest Festival, performed to many parents. We
celebrated the good things that God gives to us,
and remembered those who live in poverty around
the world. Visit
the gallery page for photos and more.
