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.

Buildings Assembly

This week, Dave, our new site manager, took an assembly about some of the different trades involved in putting up our new building.  7 children dressed up in safety gear to represent each trade and we talked about what each trade did and the tools they may use.

1.  Groundworkers - the groundworkers were involved in preparing the site for the building.  This involved the demolition of the huts, clearing the ground and digging the foundations.  We do not currently have any groundworkers on site but they will be coming back towards the end of the build.

2.  Bricklayers - the bricklayers did all the block work in the foundations and have been very busy building all the walls, both internally and externally.  They have just about finished on site.

3.  Roofers - the roofers have been putting up the timber trusses and aluminium sheets.  The building will soon be waterproof ready for the internal works to start.

4.  Electricians - they will put in all the wiring into the building so that we can have the electricity we need to power the lights and all our electrical equipment.

5.  Plumbers - they will be working alongside the electricians to put in the pipe work and installations for the toilet block, the sinks in every room and the underfloor heating system.  They arrived on site this week for the first time.

6.  Painters - they will be arriving in the final stages of the project to decorate the classrooms, toilet block and meeting room.

7.  Carpet Fitters - this is the final job in preparation for moving in to the building and they will arrive on site towards the end of May.

Year 6 will be moving into the building in June and then the site will take about 3 weeks to 'decamp'.  The temporary hut will be craned out, the outdoor classroom put back, the carpark rebuilt, the landscape reseeded and planted.  The new date for completion is the 27th June 2014 (3 weeks behind schedule).  The new building will consist of 4 classrooms (in September 2014 this will be for Years 5 and 6 so the current Years 4 and 5), a colourful toilet block and a meeting room.
