Appledore School is a one form entry school, which means big to have enough people to get all the jobs done yet small enough for all of us to know each other and the children really well. As a result, Appledore is a warm and friendly school where staff prioritise supporting and looking after both children and one another alike. In addition to a class teacher, all classes are supported by a full-time teaching assistant. We have worked hard to provide exciting opportunities for our children, through the design and delivery of our curriculum, to meet their ever-changing needs and interests and take full advantage of our wonderful school site and locality on a river and near the sea. For more information about our school please visit https://www.appledore-primary.devon.sch.uk/ and select Intent, Implementation and Impact under the Curriculum tab for details about our curriculum and what also makes us ‘tick’. Our site is a lovely place to work and includes: a woodland, complete with outdoor classroom; an art studio, complete with dedicated art teacher; a huge polytunnel, complete with edible produce; a WWII garden, complete with an Anderson shelter and numerous outdoor play equipment that includes ‘HMS Appledore’.
