Welcome to Witheridge C of E Academy

Nestled in the beautiful North Devon countryside near Tiverton, Witheridge Academy is a thriving, close-knit village school where children are truly valued as individuals. We are passionate about creating a caring and joyful environment where every child can flourish—academically, socially, and emotionally.

As a small school, we take pride in our ability to personalise learning for every pupil, ensuring each child receives the attention and support they need to thrive. Our enriching curriculum is designed to ignite curiosity and nurture creativity, giving children the strong foundation they need to become confident, compassionate learners. From the Early Years through to the final years of primary, we are dedicated to helping each child get off to the best possible start, offering a nurturing environment where they can grow and succeed.

Being part of TEAM Multi Academy Trust allows us to broaden our horizons, working closely with partner schools and offering a wide range of opportunities that are not always available in rural settings. From exciting residential trips like a week in London to global connections through our long-standing partnership with a school in Mumbai, India, our children benefit from a truly enriching educational experience. Forest School activities throughout the year and lessons at our local Farm school further enhance their learning, helping them connect with nature and their community.

At Witheridge, we believe in fostering a love of learning that will last a lifetime, encouraging every child to be the best they can be. We are proud to offer high-quality teaching, excellent facilities, and a school community that celebrates and supports every child’s journey.
