Educating students for success in a changing world. Filleigh Community Primary School is a small village school with a roll of approximately 100 children. We are comprised of four classes: Foxes has our pre-school and reception; Butterflies has years 1 and 2; Buzzards has years 3 and 4; Stags has years 5 and 6.
The Pre-School is open to children age 3 and over, please contact the office for the latest availability.
In addition to our four classes we have a central library that is very well stocked; class libraries in each class room; a food technology area; an art and design technology area; mobile computing resources; two playgrounds; a forest school area; trim trail and large school field.
We also benefit from regular use of the Village Hall and additional links with the local church and Castle Hill Estate, whose stunning grounds we are set in. Events View full calendar View full calendar
