We welcome you to our school located in the beautiful village of East Allington.
Our school and staff are committed to the ‘EA ABC’. We want every child to be Active, Bold and Caring. What does this mean?
Active: be hard working, be independent.
Bold: have a go, be brave.
Caring: be kind, be respectful.
We are a happy, creative and inclusive school with a very positive ethos of high expectations and excellent behaviour underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child which recognise the rights of children and young people and ensure that they grow up in the spirit of peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality and solidarity.
The school is set in stunning grounds which we use to the full with our own Forest School, poly tunnel and sports field. We currently have 99 children on roll and 15 children in our thriving pre-school. We are popular and many children commute from outlying villages and Kingsbridge.
We cannot share the strengths of our school in this short piece of writing. The remainder of this site will tell you some more, but the best way to find out is to come and visit us. Our children, staff and parents will be delighted to tell you about the school.

Active: Be Hard Working, Be Independant

more from the ESW primary Pupil Leadership conference
Safe hands. Children in Willow Class had a great opportunity to learn the basics of First Aid, including how to do CPR – this is vital knowledge, and could save a life – we’re really proud to be equipping our children to be responsible and helpful citizens.
ESW Primary Student Leadership Conference 2025! Delegates from our Eco Warriors and Steering Groups attended this conference at KEVIIC along with children from other primary schools, KEVIIC and KCC. They did a great presentation describing how they have taken the initiative to make positive changes. We then learned from the experience of secondary students – the future looks bright if we have leaders like this!
We're very proud to be a 'Wildlife Champion School' thanks to the work of Hazel class and Fee from Devon Wildlife Trust. The children have been learning about biodiversity and developing our site to make sure we are offering rich and safe habitats for wildlife!
