Our Aims
At Sidmouth Primary School we believe that the education of our very young children is vitally important so that they can fulfil their potential. Our experienced Early Years team create a unique learning environment to bring out the best in your child. We build upon what they already know and can already do and provide opportunities to build confidence, creativity, communication and friendships. We look forward to helping your child enjoy their Early Years experience and become familiar with our school.
Our school is a place in which children are happy and confident enough to take advantage of all the opportunities on offer. We aim to give the children the individual care and attention they need to develop their skills and talents fully. We have also strived to create a learning environment which enables the children to be adaptable and resilient, capable of using their abilities in many ways, ready for anything and afraid of nothing.
