Welcome to Farway C of E Primary School

Nestled in the beautiful East Devon countryside, Farway Church of England Primary School is a small, thriving village school for children aged 2 to 11. Our rural setting provides a rich and inspiring environment for learning, where children can explore, discover and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. From their first experiences in our preschool provision through to the end of their primary education, we nurture every child to grow in confidence, independence and a love of learning.

As a close-knit school community, we are proud to offer a warm, nurturing and supportive environment in which every child is known, valued and encouraged to achieve their full potential. Our well-resourced learning spaces and broad, engaging curriculum provide opportunities for children to develop confidence, curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love of learning.

Our Christian vision and values are at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our values of love, compassion, trust, resilience and respect, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment where children feel happy, secure and ready to learn. We encourage our pupils to think independently, make thoughtful decisions and develop the knowledge, skills and character they need to flourish in an ever-changing world.

We place great importance on helping children grow not only academically, but also spiritually, morally, socially and emotionally. Through strong relationships, high expectations and a caring ethos, we foster respect, compassion and a sense of responsibility towards others. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to shine and to discover their unique talents and strengths.

As a small village school, we are proud of the strong relationships we build with families, our parish church and the wider community. These connections enrich school life and provide meaningful opportunities for worship, celebration and service throughout the year. Children benefit from a strong sense of belonging and are encouraged to contribute positively to the life of the school and the community around them.

We hope our website gives you a glimpse into life at Farway and all that makes our school such a special place to learn, grow and belong. We warmly welcome visits from prospective parents and families who would like to see our school in action and experience our caring community firsthand. Whether you are considering a place in our preschool or primary school, we would be delighted to show you around and answer any questions you may have.
