Welcome to Exminster Community Primary School

Thank you for your interest in our school. The children, staff, parents and governors have created our Rainbow Values at Exminster Community Primary School.

The EPICentre of Learning.

Enjoyment

We want every child to enjoy coming to school, to feel secure in their friendships and to be happy to learn.

Potential

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’.

Inclusion

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.

Community

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.

We celebrated Sport Relief last Friday by dressing up in our sports kit (our own clothes). Everyone looked fantastic in their sports clothes at playtime. We all did a sport relief duration exercise challenge where the school raised about £200.

Before together time...

 

We have now acquired a new head teacher and our new head teacher is . . . Mrs Whalley!Our   acting head teacher for this school. She told us an incredible story that no one knew about her eating with the queen in London.

 

This week we have been concentrating on Geography and Together time was full of map madness!

There were lots of different things to share like planning particular holidays, zooming in on maps of the world, taking pictures of our very own Exminster on a field trip, maths showing our geography findings, and accurate tracings of maps from the past. Also, unlike the other class’s show-and-tell, Year 6 showed us a brilliant video revealing how the water sinks into the ground when it floods. The Year 2's asked them a scientific question and they had they had to answer it for that specific question. Natalie and Evie took on the roles of the crazy Hob- Nob and Dickendorf and demonstrated the answer brilliantly. The whole video will be on the website shortly for you to watch.

Geography week was fully enjoyed by all the children in Exminster Primary and it is all for us to say thank you to Mrs Nowell for all her hard work.

Today we had a bit of a different assembly because of Mrs Whalley`s 40th Birthday. We had a quiz with TV programmes, People and Bands dating back to 1973. On Mrs Whalley`s Team we had Mrs Whalley, Isobelle (6H), Mr Wilsher, Mrs Miller and on Mrs Evan`s Team we had Mrs Evans, Nathan (6H), Mrs Norman and Miss Vass. Mrs Whalley`s Team had a bell while Mrs Evan`s Team had a rubber chicken.

Sorry we have no together time due to school photos. 

This week in together time we had paintings from reception, crown wearing from year 2 and Mr Foale had a letter from Buckingham palace from 1971.
