From the Shaugh Prior Primary School
I'm thrilled to welcome you to the Moorsway Federation website. Three tiny primary schools make up our federation: Shaugh Prior Primary, The Erme Primary School, and Cornwood CE (VC) Primary School. Our schools are seven miles apart on the outskirts of Dartmoor, making for an excellent learning environment. Our federation's schools are all previous or current village schools that are proud of their pasts. Each one has an own personality. We are in the best position to provide our children with the highest standard of 21st Century teaching and learning because we are now working as one organisation with one Governing Board and Leadership Team. Our federation takes pleasure in offering a welcoming, familial environment where kids can thrive. In order for our kids to learn for themselves and perform to the very best of their ability, we try to instil a passion of learning in them. Every kid is respected for who they are as a unique person and is inspired to accomplish their best in a setting where they are content, well-cared for, and supportive of one another.
