Kilmington Primary
About Us
Kilmington Primary School is a small rural primary school situated at one end of the picturesque village of Kilmington. At the present time the teaching staff is three full-time teachers plus one part-time, with the school roll at about eighty children.
The teaching areas of the school are both spacious and very well resourced. There are at least two computers in each main classroom and a wide selection of fictional and non-fictional reading material. We are constantly updating our facilities to provide an effective learning environment. The ICT provision is augmented by a purpose built computer suite. Each class has a digital projector and interactive whiteboards which enables us to deliver various aspects of the curriculum interactively with the children.
We aim to foster, in school, a friendly and caring atmosphere where each child is encouraged to achieve his or her full potential in all areas of the curriculum. We are able to give individual attention to children which helps to encourage them to achieve much higher goals. We place much emphasis on the basic areas of the National Curriculum, as well as the practical side, and use a mixture of traditional and modern teaching methods to achieve our aims. In 2007 the work of the school in PHSE (Personal, Health & Social Education) was recognised with the awarding of the ‘The Healthy Schools Award’.
Though we do not have a school playing field, we do use the village field for outdoor games and we make timetabled use of the Village Hall for gymnastics, dance and drama productions. All the children swim at The Flamingo Swimming Pool in Axminster for set periods of time through the year. In 2007 the school achieved ‘The Active Mark’ for exceptional delivery with the National School Sport Strategy.
We play an active part in the life of the village community and to add to our annual Harvest Festival and Christmas show we hold Exhibitions of the children’s work, Curriculum Activity Weeks and contribute to village celebrations and events. The children can participate in a wide range of extra curricula activities ranging from sports, crafts, computers and music which are led by teachers and trained tutors.
The children undertake various visits and the Key Stage 2 children participate in either a three or five day residential visit every two years.
We have a very hard working P.T.F.A. who, not only fund raise, but also organise social events throughout the year.
We are justly proud of our school and feel we have much to offer in terms of educating children to become happy, responsible and knowledgeable adults, not only now, but continuing through the decades.
