News: 

We now have Breakfast and After School Clubs - please contact the school for more information. 

Our Nursery has also extended its provision to morning, lunchtime and afternoon sessions.  We are now able to offer 15 funded hours with the option of additional paid hours as available. Please contact the school for details.

Welcome to our school's website. We hope that it gives you a flavour of the life of our busy and active Church school. In this Church of England Voluntary Aided School, we recognise each child as having an individual personality. We encourage children to work towards their personal best within a happy and caring atmosphere, which reflects the school's Christian foundation.

St. Marychurch C of E (VA) Primary and Nursery School is in the eastern side of Torquay, in walking distance of St. Marychurch town centre. We cater for 300 children aged 3 to 11 and have a purpose built, modern Nursery as well as Infant and Junior sections. We also have a dedicated Breakfast Club area, recently opened and a modern Family Learning Centre and ICT suite. There are two extensive hard play areas and an adjacent sports field. Sport is very important to us and we have a good reputation especially in Football and Netball. We are very near to our Parish Church which we use every week for services.

Our most recent Ofsted (Spring 2008) placed us as an improving school with good features and capacity to improve further. Our Church Schools' Inspection (SIAS) described us as a Good Church School. Since these inspections, the school has had a change of Headteacher after the retirement of a very long serving Head. Philip Mantell, the new Head, was previously Head of Collaton St Mary C of E Primary School, Paignton, a very successful Church school, was appointed with the aim of taking the school forward to new heights. Everyone here is determined to offer the very best to our children so that they develop fully as rounded individuals.

If you are a parent, visitor, possible applicant for a post here, or pupil we hope you will find a lot to interest you here. Enjoy exploring!
