Welcome to Pilton Infants' School

'An Outstanding School' Ofsted March 2011

We are situated in Pilton, on the outskirts of Barnstaple in North Devon; a thriving community situated only a stones-throw from the Town Centre, on the doorstep to some of Britain's best beaches and a few miles from Exmoor National Park.

We have 180 children on roll aged 4 - 7 years.

The main school building was built in 1956 and provides attractive reception class areas, school hall and office accommodation along with toilets  As numbers in the school have increased, extra accommodation has been provided in the form of mobile classrooms. One of these provides a newly refurbished library, resource area, meeting room and a staffroom. The youngest children are accommodated in the main building. The school buildings are situated in delightful grounds which include a conservation area, school garden and fixed play equipment on the school field.

The school is situated on the same 'campus' as Pilton Bluecoat Church of England Junior School, which caters for children from 7-11 years old. The children at our school have right of admission to this linked junior school. We are all very proud of our school and work together to provide the best education we can. We have been awarded ‘Healthy School Plus’ status, School Travel Plan Silver Award as well as the ‘Activemark’ Award for achievement in sport. Best of all we were graded as OUTSTANDING in our OFSTED inspection during March 2011.

We work in close partnership with pre-schools in the area as well as Pilton Bluecoat, Pathfield Special School and Pilton Community College. These schools are known as 'Pilton Schools Association' and we work together to provide the community with seamless transfer from the earliest years in education through to secondary and adult education. 

Our children are happy, safe and cared for in an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect. We work hard to build strong relationships with families and community.  

If you are thinking of enrolling your child for a place in our school, please feel welcome to make an appointment to look around. We are always pleased to welcome new families into our school community.

 We had visitors from Mangalore in India. We talked about our different countries. Our visitors told stories, taught us a song and showed us a dance. We all had a fantastic time!
