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.

FAQs
See our frequently asked questions across a range of subjects from everyday school attendance to special trips, extra curricular activities and admissions.
If your child needs to have medication at school you must complete a form at the school office. We ask that medication at school is kept to a minimum and if antibiotics are prescribed for less than four times a day we suggest this can be organised out of school time. All medication held on school premises is kept locked and secure.
What is Dyspraxia? Dyspraxia is a form of development coordination disorder (DCD) affecting fine and/or gross motor coordination in children and adults. It may also affect speech.
Generation Exmoor is our premier outdoor learning initiative, developed in partnership with Exford C of E First School, Cutcombe C of E First School and the Exmoor National Park Authority. The program brings our KS2 students into the heart of Exmoor National Park to learn and explore in a natural setting.
