Exminster Community Primary School

My grandson is coming to the end of his third year at Exminster Community Primary School and, given his domestic situation, has come on in leaps and bounds. In his three years here, he's had some good teachers who have all had positive input to his education. I am in an age group where I do not understand or really comprehend why a subject has to be taught in a particular way but, all teachers are available to help and advise and answer any questions. Other members of staff who cater for the children's welfare have also had an impact on my grandson and have helped him through a few bad ''patches'' and he manages to keep smiling. Year on year, his school reports are average to above average so, I thank the teachers for keeping him motivated. Sadly, this school as nearly every other school in the country, has to dream up a multitude of different ways of bringing in money to supplement their budget. This can be a nuisance but, parents do the best they can and, without this ''extra'' money, the school would have to do without many educational tools necessary for the children's improvement. There is an air of helpfulness at the school; bullying is definitely NOT tolerated and all children are helped and encouraged to stretch themselves to reach their individual potential. If it were possible to roll back the clock and if I had children, I would definitely have no fears about enrolling them at our village school. They are as safe as houses and help is always at hand whether from teaching staff or assistants or admin staff. It's a great school to be a part of.

Good school and good teaching
