Welcome from the Headteacher

In 2015, I became the proud Headteacher of a small school with a big personality and huge ambitions. Since that time there have been so many highlights due to the children’s endeavours, including being recognised in the top 1% of schools for our reading outcomes, enjoying muddy walks for charity, completing countryside stewardship projects, winning many sports tournaments and always putting on a great whole school performance for our wonderful families! Indeed, we believe children should be seen and heard, so our ‘Expressive Curriculum’ is key to developing confident and successful learners who can communicate, question and debate. This clear focus continues as we move into 2021 with the arrival of new podcast and filming equipment to inspire a love of words!
​
We invite you to check out all we have to offer, just 11 minutes from Tavistock town centre and 18 minutes from Launceston: there is little doubt that our beautiful grounds complete with forest school woods, garden pavilion and enormous multi-use games area make the first impression on any visitor. However, the lasting impression we make is through our passion for learning, the care we offer our children (including breakfast club (£4 a session) and after school clubs (for just £1), and our determination that every child will achieve their potential and beyond - “better never stops!”

​If your child is starting school in September 2021(or even September 2022) or you are looking for a change, then we warmly welcome visits to suit you. Call Milton Abbot Primary School on 01822 870273.

Best wishes - Mr Christopher Luxford BA Hons

Our Reading Roost

​Reading for knowledge, reading for pleasure! Reading is central to our teaching and learning at Milton Abbot School, and a key challenge is to ensure children are not only enjoying their reading but are keen to challenge themselves to read widely, which helps build vocabulary and comprehension skills.

Both of our girls have done their entire primary years at Milton Abbot School and we couldn't be happier with the education they have received. They have thrived in the nurturing and inclusive environment, with incredible support from not only excellent teachers, but from every single member of staff in the school. Everyone is made to feel truly welcome, children and parents alike. The school and grounds are idyllic, our children have spent so many happy times playing on the daisy covered front lawn and climbing trees in the woods. We couldn't have asked for a better foundation for our girls and would absolutely recommend this school to everyone!

We have two children at Milton Abbot and couldn't be happier with the school. We moved school early on due to a bad experience elsewhere. From that experience and from my own time at school, I had thought that schools were not joyful places but the first thing you notice entering Milton Abbot is the warm, friendly and happy atmosphere generated by both pupils and staff. The headteacher and teachers are fantastic, the building and grounds are beautiful and the range of extra activities available to the children is exemplary (and fun!): forest school, music, drama, coding, climbing and sport amongst others, as well as trips to the beach and the theatre.

​Another thing we love is that the teachers use the garden and grounds in their teaching - so the class go outside to learn about science, art, engineering or history, e.g. building a Roman road in the grounds, cooking with apples they have grown, or constructing a bee hotel in the garden.

Milton Abbot offers our children a caring learning environment, in which they are recognised and valued as individuals. The school gives our children diverse curricular and extra-curricular opportunities, allowing and encouraging them to grow their interests and giving great foundational knowledge and understanding. ​

My daughter, who was struggling academically on arrival at the school, has  flourished under the personal and caring attention of her teachers and is now reading and writing well above her age level. The confidence of both my children has grown at the school, both in their learning and in their relationships with others. They say they even quite like it when they fall over and hurt themselves at Milton Abbot because Mrs Jones takes their injuries very seriously and gives them plasters/compresses while Mr Luxford tells them jokes and says encouraging and positive things about them. It is hard to imagine a better start in education. Learning to love learning is probably the greatest gift a school can bestow and Milton Abbot has done this and more. Thank you for all you do.

The school has a very supportive team and leadership is fast to help where extra support is needed. There is a lot of outdoor space and regular forest school.
