Surf's Up at Westward Ho!!

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.

Year 6 had an amazing time bobbing around in the ocean and learning how to catch an awesome ride on the 10ft waves at Westward Ho! today. They learnt how to carry their surfboards safely to the sea, how to mount the boards without face diving into the water and how to kneel ride the waves. Once confident with kneel riding on the board, they progressed to standing up and surfing the waves into the shallows. All the children were exceptionally well behaved and safe in the water.
"I loved it when I rode the wave for ages but salt water in the eyes was a bit irritating after a while! I would give it an 8 out of 10!" Ben.
"I loved getting splashed by the instructor so I could then splash them back!" Tegan.
"I really enjoyed trying to stand up whilst doing it and the instructor gave me lots of tips for help." Mollie.
