Hi, I really hope they'll be loads of advice!! I'm moving with DH, 2 DS and a DD. We need a primary, secondary schools. Are there bad areas that you'd recommend not to live in please and anything we should know. I've heard you're all super friendly in that direction. We may like Torrington too. Is love to meet people. I don't know how to get on chat. Thank you x

Hi there! I know this is an older post but we also thinking about moving to that part of Devon. Can anyone give me primary and secondary school recommendations? Would really appreciate you advice and learning from experience. I find that it's not just about how good a school is on paper :-) I have two daughters both at primary and we are relocating in part because of the poor secondary school choice in our catchment in E Sussex. So we need to find a great secondary and primary!! We woukd like to be fairly rural so I'm not sure Oakhampton school would work as it's catchment looks quite small? Thanks so much x
