A, B, C… Active Bold and Caring
Welcome to East Allington Primary School, a small village school at the heart of our vibrant community in the beautiful South Hams.
We are proud of our warm, inclusive ethos and our high expectations for every child. Kindness, respect and ambition shape daily life here. We teach and model children’s rights and responsibilities, and we want our pupils to grow up with confidence, empathy and a strong sense of fairness.
Learning at East Allington is broad, rich and carefully sequenced. Alongside strong foundations in reading, writing and mathematics, our curriculum celebrates the arts, sciences and the outdoors—making the most of our local environment through activities such as Forest School, music, sport and educational visits. We aim to spark curiosity, challenge thinking and nurture independence so that every child can thrive.
Partnership with families is central to our success. Parents and carers are warmly welcomed into school life, and we value your voice as we work together to support each child’s progress and wellbeing. Our staff are dedicated, creative and caring; they go the extra mile to make school a place of joy and belonging.
As a school family, we have high aspirations and work together to encourage our children to become ambitious, lifelong learners.

more from the ESW primary Pupil Leadership conference
Safe hands. Children in Willow Class had a great opportunity to learn the basics of First Aid, including how to do CPR – this is vital knowledge, and could save a life – we’re really proud to be equipping our children to be responsible and helpful citizens.
ESW Primary Student Leadership Conference 2025! Delegates from our Eco Warriors and Steering Groups attended this conference at KEVIIC along with children from other primary schools, KEVIIC and KCC. They did a great presentation describing how they have taken the initiative to make positive changes. We then learned from the experience of secondary students – the future looks bright if we have leaders like this!
We're very proud to be a 'Wildlife Champion School' thanks to the work of Hazel class and Fee from Devon Wildlife Trust. The children have been learning about biodiversity and developing our site to make sure we are offering rich and safe habitats for wildlife!
