A New Church School to Serve SW Barnstaple

A new Church of England primary and nursery school to serve south west Barnstaple

Devon County Council has identified the need for a new 420 place primary school with nursery to serve new and proposed housing development in south west Barnstaple.

At present, there is no Church school provision to the west of the River Taw or in the close vicinity of the proposed development.

The Church of England Diocese of Exeter, in consultation with the TEAM Multi Academy Trust, is proposing to establish a new primary and nursery school in this growing community. The school will join the wider family of church and community schools in the existing Academy Trust.

We received strong support when we informally consulted about a new Church school last year. This consultation is the next step in quantifying support in preparation for making a formal application to establish the school. We are therefore keen to seek the views of local families. If you commented on the school for the informal consultation, we would still welcome your feedback - particularly as more information is now available to you.

Our vision and further information is outlined on this website. Please take a look and give us your feedback.

If there is sufficient support from local families, we will submit a proposal to the Department for Education (DfE) in spring 2016.

Thank you for your interest in this exciting new project!
