TERM DATES

Welcome to Kingsteignton School

Welcome to Kingsteignton School: a modern, enthusiastic and aspirational school that endeavours to support our pupils in becoming well-rounded citizens that leave us ready for the challenges of secondary education and later life.

At the core of our school is an appreciation of the importance of human connection. We share the opinions expressed by Rita Pierson in her TED Talk ‘Every kid needs a champion’, and, in their daily being, our staff members model positive relationships and demonstrate to our pupils that they care about them, are there for them and will never give up on them. Visitors always comment on the calm and serene atmosphere of our school and the respect children show to each other and to the adults in school. This is achieved by actively celebrating the positive and quietly but firmly discouraging the negative.

Through our inspiring and engaging curriculum, we aspire to develop our pupils as holistic learners and strive to support them to fulfil (and exceed!) their individual potential. We believe that a school’s curriculum should be about wonder and astonishment, excitement and risk, challenge and support, enterprise and adventure and that pupils should be provided with opportunities that extend beyond the National Curriculum.

We pride ourselves on our character education work. Within school, we model and exemplify our five values: perseverance, courage, friendship, compassion and justice; we also develop this within our pupils via our trust-wide ‘Eleven by Eleven’ initiative, through which we provide the children with a range of leadership opportunities, sporting events and performing arts activities, amongst other aspects.

This website aims to give you a taster of what life is like at Kingsteignton School. Please watch the video below to provide you with further insight.

Vision Statement

OUR NEWS

  • Devon Family Hubs update We are still offering Single sessions via the Parent request for contact , and our Advice and Guidance line will still be active for parents to make contact  Devon Family HUBS - Parent Carer Request for Contact Advice and guidance Line 0800 538 5458 (Mon-Fri 10am- 4pm)  TRANSITION TO NEW FAMILY HUBS SERVICE FOR DEVON From 1 April 2025, the Family Hubs service for Devon will be transitioning to a new service which will provide increased, targeted help to support families in the community. Last year, Devon County Council announced that like many authorities across the country, it would follow Government guidance in developing the previous Children's Centres into Family Hubs which provided open access to all families without the need for referrals. Since then, the council has conducted consultations with families, to gauge opinion and develop a plan which will now see support for families provided in village halls, community centres, and other existing places that parents and carers will already be familiar with in their local communities. The purpose behind Family Hubs is to provide support to families with children from 0 to 19, or to 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The help families receive is to prevent them from needing more targeted help later on. "Why should a parent with a young child or children, who might rely on public transport to get around, have to travel miles to their nearest Children's Centre building in order to get the help his or her family needs? Providing support to families, in their communities, at the right time can prevent them from needing more targeted support in future. I wish to thank Action for Children for their dedication and contribution to Children’s Services over the last 20 years” says Councillor Andrew Leadbetter, the Council's Cabinet Member with responsibility for children's services. From April, families will begin to see a new community-focused service developing that will continue to improve access to support, bringing together education, public health, NHS, early years, community and voluntary sector groups. Parents will be directed to them in settings closer to home in their own communities. Some group sessions that are currently delivered in Family Hub locations will change, with families who have complex needs being referred to other community-based services through the new system from April. Devon County Council would sincerely like to thank Action for Children for all their hard work and contribution to the running of Devon’s Children’s Centres and the Family Hubs for the last 20 years.

  • Tansy were seed detectives in their science lesson today! Over the past few weeks, the children have been handling and describing a variety of fruits and vegetables. They were curious to find out which had seeds and which were seedless and so we decided to cut them open to find out! This linked nicely to our PSHE learning about healthy foods and the children enjoyed making their own healthy fruit kebabs to eat. Delicious!

  • Tansy had the BEST day at Occombe Farm today! The children planted seeds, watered growing vegetables, dug out weeds, turned over planting beds, harvested vegetables (which they then fed to the goats and pigs) and snuggled and stroked guinea pigs and lambs! What a fabulous first school trip! ❤️
