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.

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.
