Welcome to Exford First School!

Welcome and thank you for showing an interest in learning at Exford Church of England First School. This is an incredibly special school with a strong sense of community in which each pupil is a valued and respected member.

We are an inclusive school. We welcome all pupils and strive to ensure they become enthusiastic learners. The confidence, happiness and security of our pupils is our priority at all times.

Our children know we have three school rules, which are: Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Ready. These three principles help us to ensure that all children get the very best out of their education every day.

Our curriculum is focused on the needs of our children in our community. We work very closely with the Exmoor National Park Authority to deliver Generation Exmoor - see our Generation Exmoor page to find out more.

'Let Your Light Shine'

We endeavour to help our pupils grow and gain skills to be independent in their learning and offer a foundation for lifelong learning in school, at home and in the wider world.
