Situated in beautiful West Somerset, between the Quantocks and the sea, our friendly school serves the families of Watchet and the surrounding area.  The school cares for children from four up to the age of nine years and is promoted by two foundations, the Church of England and the Methodist Church. We aim for excellence and joy in all we do.   We strive to make everyone in our school feel part of a caring, lively and happy community.  Learning is best when we are enthused, confident and feel a sense of pride and achievement. 

Our aim is for each child to be:

A Confident individual

• who feels a valued member of our caring Christian school community;
• who is self disciplined to enable them to think for themselves and make the right choices;
• who cares for their own emotional and physical well-being;
• who is proud of themselves, their school and their community;

A Successful learner:

•  who shows initiative, perseverance and commitment to excel in their learning
•  who has the vital skills to empower them in their future lives;
•  who is curious, adventurous and enthusiastic in their approach to challenges;
•  who is spiritually aware with a sense of wonder at the people and world around them;

A Responsible citizen:

• who has a sense of Christian moral responsibility to others shown by fairness and generosity;
• who has understanding and empathy for others and shows respect for different views and feelings;
• who behaves in a considerate and courteous manner to all.

We endeavour to form a close partnership between parents, children and the school staff to give each child the best foundation for a good education.  We create this partnership in many ways such as inviting parents to Celebration assemblies; regular opportunities to share children’s work; informative newsletters, and most importantly, an open invitation to discuss your child’s needs.  Together, we, the staff, children, parents, governors and community, can provide the very best environment for your child’s first school years.

Our School Site:
The school was built in 1990 and has since been extended to include a large hall, heated indoor swimming pool, our before and after school Parrot Club room, the Early Years Learning Zone and ICT room.

We are very lucky to enjoy an extensive school site with a large playground, a range of climbing apparatus, a spacious playing field and an additional ‘wild’ field with vegetable garden, environmental area, pond and space for Forest School activities.

On the same site is Little Vikings, the Children’s Centre, serving families with children from the age of 6 months to 4 years old.  We work closely together so that we can support families and ensure the best transition through the children’s early years.

The School Name:
The field on which the school is situated once belonged to the Knights Templar.  They were given the field by Reginald Fitz-Urze as a penance for his involvement in the murder of Thomas Becket in 1172 AD.  We use the crusading knight as our school emblem, the original aim of the Knights Templar being to protect the weak and poor.
