Welcome from the Headteacher, Jon Statton
A very warm welcome to Heathcoat Primary School and thank you for joining us on our website.
Choosing a school for your child is a tremendously important decision and one that we take very seriously and would like to help you with. We understand that as a parent you want to send your child(ren) to a good school and to get them off to the very best start.
Here at Heathcoat Primary we strive to put our children first. We are really proud to be one of Tiverton’s longest established schools and at the very heart of our locality and indeed of education within our town itself. We enjoy a long history of being highly regarded as a good school, which is deeply caring of its pupils and for being very firmly committed to providing the very richest, high quality curriculum for our pupils.
“The care, guidance and support for pupils are a strong feature of this school. Pupils truly value the support the school provides and report that they are happy at school.”
(Ofsted 2011)
“It is a very happy school where pupils display good behaviour and have very positive attitudes to learning. This is because of the high quality of pastoral care and the stimulating range of activities provided by the outstanding curriculum......There is a caring and inspiring environment at the school.”
(Ofsted 2008)
The wonderful new nursery facility that we opened in 2012 and our well established reception classes will help to make sure that your child’s introduction to our school will be in an exciting, caring and purposeful learning environment. It will certainly help to get them off to the very best of starts!
“Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are well supported with a good range of indoor experiences which ensure they make good progress.”
(Ofsted 2011)
Our teachers and assistants work very hard to create a happy, yet challenging learning environment for our pupils. We have high expectations for both our pupils and for ourselves. We want pupils to enjoy learning and to strive to make the progress that will help them to go forward and achieve their full potential and ambitions well beyond school.
“Pupils concentrate well and work with enthusiasm as most tasks were engaging and appropriately challenging. “
(Ofsted 2011)
“From their starting points pupils make good progress because they are typically well taught and given good support to enhance their learning. As a result, they enjoy lessons, participate fully and, by the end of Year 6, they achieve well.”
(Ofsted 2011)
It is part of our school’s ethos to welcome every child and every family in exactly the same way. We work hard to form a strong and trusting relationship with every parent/carer and child. We seek to inspire and challenge every pupil, in order to help them to fully develop their character, confidence, sense of compassion and to become determined to achieve their full potential in all that they might do.
“Heathcoat Primary School is a very inclusive school where all pupils are welcomed. Relationships between the school and home are exceptionally good.”
(Ofsted 2008)
“Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress due to very good targeted support.”
(Ofsted 2011)
This is just a small glimpse of how we are and what we are actively trying to achieve for all our pupils here at Heathcoat Primary School. So please, explore and enjoy our website and do feel most welcome to come along and visit us and see us in action. We would be delighted to meet you.

Cyberbullying Awareness
Children at Heathcoat Primary have been learning about cyberbullying and staying safe online, and as part of this they have been designing mouse mats for a competition. We are happy to announce the winner is Renee Bond. Here is her design (click to view enlarged).
