SMILE

 

The SMILE Learning Trust

The SMILE Learning Trust was established in 2013 and is made up of Ottery St Mary Primary School, West Hill Primary School, The Co-operative College and Devon County Council. The Trust provided an opportunity to further develop the schools as well as increase the range of opportunities for all our local children and their communities.
