Welcome to Salcombe Primary School

At Salcombe Church of England Primary School, our children are at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to offer a nurturing, inspiring and inclusive learning environment where every child is supported to thrive—academically, socially, morally, and spiritually.

Rooted in our Christian values of Service, Aspiration, Integrity and Love, we aim to develop not only curious and capable learners but kind, compassionate individuals who contribute positively to their world. These values are woven through all aspects of school life, shaping our relationships, guiding our decisions and inspiring our children to be the very best versions of themselves.

Team Salcombe is a vibrant and welcoming community where we treat each other with kindness and respect and where every child is encouraged to aspire, achieve and believe in themselves. We see education as a shared journey, and we work closely with families to ensure that every child flourishes with the best possible start to their learning life.

Every day, we promote our three simple but powerful school rules: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe. These expectations underpin a calm and positive learning environment where children feel secure, valued and confident to take on new challenges.

We are committed to creating a happy and purposeful school experience—where children are excited to learn, inspired to think creatively, and empowered to reach their full potential. Our dedicated and highly skilled staff team work together to deliver a rich, engaging curriculum that prepares pupils not just for the next stage of their education, but for life.

Our school is proud to be part of the First Federation Trust—a collaborative family of primary schools across the South West, led by a shared vision for excellence in education. This partnership strengthens our school with leadership support, professional development and resources that benefit all our pupils. You can learn more about the Trust and its schools here.

Set high on the hill overlooking the stunning Salcombe Estuary, our school enjoys some of the most beautiful views in the country. We are fortunate to be part of a vibrant coastal community within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This rich local environment provides incredible opportunities for outdoor learning, environmental awareness and community engagement—all of which are central to our school’s ethos.

We warmly invite you to explore our website and discover more about the amazing learning experiences that take place here every day. Better still, why not come and visit us in person? We would love to show you around, introduce you to our wonderful staff and pupils and share what makes Salcombe C of E Primary School such a special place to learn and grow.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
