Welcome from the Headmaster

With great warmth and pride, I welcome you to St Christopher’s – a small, vibrant school in the heart of South Devon, where every child is known, valued, and inspired to thrive.
 
At St Christopher’s, we believe education should be as unique as the child it serves. From their earliest years, children benefit from engaging subject-specialist teaching that sparks curiosity and builds deep understanding. Our personalised curriculum ensures each pupil’s strengths, interests, and aspirations are nurtured, while also encouraging them to step beyond their comfort zones. We provide a rich variety of opportunities, enabling pupils to grow not only in knowledge, but in character, confidence, and compassion. As a non-selective school, we are proud that every child can access this wealth of experiences. Our extensive enrichment programme plays a key role, helping pupils to explore new activities, refine their skills, and discover fresh talents in a supportive environment.
 
We are a school that continually evolves, blending tradition with innovation to create a learning environment that prepares our children for the future while remaining firmly rooted in the values of our Christian foundation. This ethos underpins all we do, guiding our community to live with trust, kindness, and care, alongside a spirit of service.
 
Here, parents and children alike become part of the St Christopher’s family – a place where we work together, celebrate together, and share in the joy of discovery.

I warmly invite you to visit St Christopher’s to see our happy, engaged pupils at work and play, and to experience first-hand the energy and care of our school community.
