Welcome to the Bendarroch School website which we hope will give you some feeling for the much-acclaimed and unique ethos of this small school in rural Devon, a school where academic excellence is pursued in an atmosphere of trust, warmth and enjoyment.

Our aim is to give every child the opportunity to develop their full potential at a pace that allows them to enjoy all that goes on around them, and to give to each child the time to reflect upon their place in the world.

Children at Bendarroch School quickly learn to enjoy education, its challenges and its rewards. They thrive in an environment in which every child’s opinion is valued, every child is listened to. The key to this is self-confidence, a recognition of self-worth; it is achieved through small classes and individually tailored curricula within a small school.

If, after looking at our website, you would like further information or would like to see the school for yourself, please feel free to contact us at any time.
