We pride ourselves as being a school where children are happy, safe and love learning. We truly believe that the sky's the limit for what our children can achieve. Our rich and ambitious curriculum ensures that children are provided with an exciting and holistic education.
All subjects are carefully sequenced so that pupils are continually challenged and supported in developing their wider academic understanding and experiences. Whether learning the ukulele in music or complex coding in computing, or achieving excellent outcomes in mathematics and English, our pupils are constantly inspired to enjoy the wide world of learning.
We believe in providing pupils with a rich and exciting experience at school. Every class (from Nursery to Year 6) has a dedicated weekly Outdoor Learning lesson with a specialist teacher, and our dedicated team are always designing lessons that bring learning to life.
Pupils enjoy a range of trips, visitors, residentials, and our own special 'TEDs' (Topic Enrichment Days) that further enrich their time at Teignmouth Primary School.
