WELCOME!!!

We are a small rural primary school in North Devon, situated about 3 miles from Barnstaple, and 6 miles from Great Torrington. We are in the village of Lovacott, between the two other villages of Newton Tracey and Horwood.

We have a nursery which also provides child care in the afternoons, and 3 classes-

Class 1 for Reception, Yr 1 and Yr 2 children. This is taught by Ms Munro and has between 20 and 30 children .

Class 2 is a Yr 3 and 4 class and is taught by Miss Aldridge, with 22-28 children.

Class 3 is a Yr 5 and 6 class and is taught by Mr. Dickerson for 3 days each week, and Mrs Raistrick for 2 days of each week. It normally has between 22 and 28 children.

We have 5 classroom assistants who work very skilfully with teachers to support the education of all children in the school.

Recently we have developed new planning for history, geography and design technology, as well as using video, sound and images as a stimulus for literacy.We teach French from entry to Nursery and are introducing Spanish also.
