Our school is bright and airy and gives the children a sense of space. The school building is attractively designed, in beautiful surroundings and did, in fact, win an award for the architect when it was built in 1960.  We have our own very extensive sports field and swimming pool.

Our school, which has a high reputation for so many things, prides itself on having a sound, traditional approach to subjects but with the best of new technology and good quality facilities for the children.  All classes have computers, interactive whiteboards, sound and video provision and access to an extensive range of books.  A mobile laptop suite provides opportunities to enhance learning in the classroom using information technology.

Axminster Primary School is rather special; you have only to approach the School to see that it is different from others.  There is ample evidence outside to show that a caring attitude has been used in the environment and even more important is the fact that parents and inspectors have remarked that this caring attitude is transferred to relationships within the School.  We are proud of this fact.  Children are at the heart of Axminster Community Primary School and each child is encouraged to achieve the highest standard possible in all aspects of school life. 

I should like to invite you to come and see the school in action.  This prospectus will provide you with an understanding of our aims, the curriculum and the organisation.  However, it cannot tell you what it is really like to spend a day here.
