About Us
East Worlington Primary School, for children aged 2-11 years, is situated in the village of East Worlington, which is between Chulmleigh and Crediton and close to Witheridge. It is part of the Chulmleigh Academy Trust, a group of three primary schools (East Worlington, Lapford and Chulmleigh) and Chulmleigh College.
East Worlington is the school of choice for many families from the surrounding villages, who are attracted to the friendly community feel of the school, the high academic standards and the excellent standards of behaviour. It is very well regarded in the local community; many members of the community support the school through volunteer work or by supporting school-based activities.
Children are taught in mixed-age classes with high adult to pupil ratios, which are further split in the mornings to deliver age-specific English and Maths.
Our results consistently reflect the superb progress that all children make irrespective of their ability. Both SEND and more able children regularly exceed national averages.

Head of School
East Worlington Nursery is teacher-led and provides a safe and stimulating environment for children aged 9 months (from January 2025) to 4 years to explore and develop physically, socially and academically. With a focus on activities that follow the children’s interests, we make the most of our undercover outdoor area and access to the beautiful school grounds. The Nursery enables a seamless transition into Reception and the children continue their learning journey with confidence. We have lots of space for messy play and great construction resources for building those big towers and rockets! Sessions run five days a week 7.45am-5.30pm, with wraparound care available in our Out of School Club.
As well as the main school buildings the school has access to the adjacent Village Hall, which is used for P.E. and for performances. The school grounds provide many opportunities for outdoor learning.
The children’s behaviour is exceptional and allows them to work cooperatively with each other, regardless of age; the older children are good role models for the younger children. Children make good academic progress and are well-prepared for their next steps to secondary education. Being part of Chulmleigh Academy Trust ensures our children benefit from enhanced transition events and preferential admission to the College.
