- We are pleased to announce the safe arrival of Mrs Brown's baby daughter Elsie. Both mum and baby are doing well. Ms Hayley Marker is currently teaching Class 3 whilst Mrs Brown is on maternity leave.
- Our school has recently updated its Attendance Policy, and if you wish to view it, it is available to download from our website - click HERE.
- To ensure that all classes start the day as promptly as possible, we would like all KS2 children to make their way directly to their classrooms from 8.45 in the mornings ready for 8.55 registration, rather than meeting in the KS2 playground. This will hopefully remove the need for the long walk through the KS1 playground at a busy time of day. Thank you for your co-operation.
- The Autumn 2008 Fresh Start menu is available to download HERE.
- Our latest Ofsted report is now available to download.

Introduction

Welcome to our school. Ottery St Mary Primary School is the only primary school in the town and is wholly maintained by the County Education Authority. It is represented by a board of Governors.

The school was first opened in 1967 as an infant school and extended and enlarged in 1975 to a full primary school for the children who will be five during the term in which they start school to the time they are eleven. Children are admitted in September and January.

Pupils of our school are drawn from a traditional 'catchment' area which, in addition to the town of Ottery St Mary, encompasses the hamlets of Wiggaton, Alfington, Gosford, Taleford and Fairmile. For details of our classes, click HERE.

Our Headteacher is Mr Doug Rylance.

Thank you for showing an interest in Ottery St Mary Primary School. I hope that the information contained on our website is useful and informative, but obviously the best way to find out about us is to visit the School, look around and meet the children and staff. In this way you will be able to make an informed choice about your child's next school. I look forward to meeting you.

Mr J D R Rylance - Feb 06
