Childhood can be spent in a magnificent place like Exmoor. As with everything else, education is essential for children to develop into happy, healthy adults who can contribute to society. Exford is a tiny, traditional village school that has been serving the local community for over a century and just started offering pre-school programmes. The school takes great pride in its traditional Christian beliefs, excellent instruction, and superb care, direction, and support of its students.

The school employs the Moor environment to help the teaching at all curriculum levels. To give possibilities for learning outside, we collaborate closely with the Exmoor National Park Authority.
