Welcome to Witheridge Church of England CE Primary School.

Witheridge CE Primary School provides a friendly, caring environment in which parents are encouraged to play an active role, and is an integral part of the Village.

The School has 90 children aged from rising five to eleven, and is organised into four classes – a Reception class, a Key Stage One class, and two classes in Key Stage Two.

Many of the children have previously been at the on-site Witheridge Pre-School and have joined us as they approached their fifth birthdays, a transition made easier by the experience of the School they have already gained over their preceding time in Pre-School.

As I write this, we are a few weeks into the new term and looking forward to Spring. Although the snow in December was nice to look at, it certainly didn’t make a long, hard term any easier! Many thanks though, to all who turned out to our Christmas Service in the church and to those who contributed to our collection for Cancer Relief that night and the following evening when the children went out carol singing. Well over £200 was raised for a cause which is particularly close to our hearts and to many of yours.

This term we have had four student teachers from Exeter University. It has been a real pleasure to help develop the next generation of teachers and is a great opportunity for our children to work with some new people.

We currently have 98 children in the school, only a few less than our peak of 103 last summer term when we said "goodbye" to 20 of our Year Six. This is a very healthy number and must be the highest the school has been for some years. Numbers are important, as schools receive funding based on the number of children they have. 98 children bring enough funding to maintain four classes, so we thank the parents of Witheridge who are supporting their village school by sending their children here.

Finally, I would like to invite you all to our Open Day On Monday 23rd May from 9am-1pm.

Steve Duncan
