Welcome to our newly refurbished website.  We would like to thank all staff and governors who have collaborated on this project.

A special thank-you goes to one of our parents, Mr James Rowles, who gave his time and expertise freely; helping us to develop a website that we feel reflects the character of our school.

Thank you Everyone!

Holywell C of E Primary School accepts children in the Reception class during the academic year of their fifth birthday. Children with dates of birth between September and April (autumn and spring term rising fives) are admitted to school full time at the start of the autumn term.  Younger children, with dates of birth between May and August (summer rising fives), are admitted on a half time basis at the start of the autumn term and may attend full time in the following spring term.  

Children beginning their school careers at Holywell benefit from spending their first year in school in our Reception Class, which has a maximum of 14 places available.  The small size of our Reception Class and the expertise of our experienced Foundation Stage teacher, Miss Perkins, help children to make a secure and happy start in school. Following their first year in school, children spend two years in each of our other three classes, working in mixed year groups:

Class 2 – Year 1 and 2

Class 3 – Year 3 and 4

Class 4 – Year 5 and 6

Admissions information from Devon County Council is available via the link below.  Please note, you can express a preference for two schools but the order of your preferences (first choice, second choice) will only be taken into account if both schools are able to offer you a place.  You will not ‘lose’ a place at your second choice school if your first choice is unable to offer you a place.
