Our school community is guided by our seven Core Values: Respect, Opportunity, Partnership, Success, Happiness, Aspiration and Motivation. These values underpin life at Topsham and are celebrated and shared across the school every day. As part of the United Schools Federation (USF), we work closely between our schools to broaden opportunities and enrich the experiences of every child within the federation.

Topsham School is set within a spacious and attractive site, with a large playground and extensive playing field, providing children with room to learn, play and grow. We believe school should be a fun and exciting place to learn, where every single child matters. Building excellent relationships is at the heart of what we do, ensuring that every child feels safe, understood and inspired.

Physical and mental wellbeing are central to our ethos, supported by strong networks within school to help both children and families. We promote healthy lifestyles, including a balanced diet supported by our delicious meals cooked on site.

We are committed to providing rich experiences beyond the classroom, including residential visits, local and international trips, and inspiring visitors to school. A wide range of clubs, alongside breakfast and after-school provision from preschool to Year 6, supports both children’s development and family life.

Located in an estuary town on the edge of the City of Exeter, our unique setting enhances our curriculum and opens up a wealth of exciting opportunities that bring learning to life.
