Welcome to Exminster Community Primary School

Thank you for your interest in our school. The children, staff, parents and governors have created our Rainbow Values at Exminster Community Primary School.

The EPICentre of Learning.

Enjoyment

We want every child to enjoy coming to school, to feel secure in their friendships and to be happy to learn.

Potential

We aim to help every child reach and exceed their full potential through providing a rich and varied range of learning opportunities within a broad and balanced curriculum. Learning is planned in every class to meet all needs. We aim to find children’s strengths and use these within school to develop children’s confidence and love of learning. ‘Be the best that we can be’.

Inclusion

We pride ourselves in being a highly inclusive school. Inclusion is about adapting for the needs of our learners – however minor or major their needs may be. This has benefits for all learners, learning to celebrate our differences and individuality.

Community

Exminster Community Primary School plays an integral part in life of our village. We maintain a strong family village school ethos. We feel it is essential that children develop an understanding of our school family, our local family, our national family and our international family. Diversity and respect are a golden thread within all that we do.

In science this week, we posed the question 'How can observing and measuring shadows help us demonstrate the spinning of the earth?' We discussed possible ways to carry out this experiment and decided that we would track the sun's shadows. Throughout the day, we drew and measured the lengths of the shadows cast by a pole. We found out that as the day progressed the shadows became shorter. Unfortunately in the afternoon, the cloud cover increased so much that we were unable to carry on.
We all really enjoyed this and could clearly see that the earth does indeed spin because the shadows moved.
