Anyone know about primary schools near/in Totnes, Devon. Thanks

My niece goes to a primary in Totnes
Are you still looking ?

In Totnes you have the Grove, located at the top of the town, and then St Johns in Bridgetown. Both pretty good I believe.

I've heard some talk that the catchments are going to change, a new school is being built at Dartington and I think it is planned that this will take in a chunk of children from the Dartington side of Totnes. That would effect the Grove intake more that St Johns.

Hope this helps

I think The Grove Primary is considered the best currently. The new school at Dartington won't be ready this September but hopefully in January 2010, it's not in addition to the current buildings it's instead of. Landscove is a lovely school but it's quite small so you have to be in the catchment area to get in I think, hth.
