Businesses across Honition were invited to an open evening at Honiton Primary School last week (11 July) to learn more about the school and to have an opportunity to be a part of its future.
They were treated to a tour of the school and enjoyed a presentation on the journey the school has taken over the past five years as well as a view of what the future holds.
Honiton Primary has been on a drive to bring four iPads into every classroom of the school. The evening was part of this drive, which will decrease the pupil to tablet ratio.

A new education campus with two schools and a host of other community facilities at Cranbrook has been given the thumbs-up – and it should be open within two years.
East Devon District Council has approved a planning application for Devon County Council’s proposal for a secondary school and a second primary school in the new town. The schools are scheduled to open by September 2015.
The agreed application proposes construction of a 420 place primary school and a 1,000 place secondary school in a three-storey building with flexible and changeable space that will adapt as the...

But, can you balance commercialism with upbringing – financial figures with academic statistics – results with manners? If you cannot, then the future of St Margaret’s has been written in the sand years ago.
As a father of three St Margaret’s daughters who are enjoying successful careers and lives after school and the husband of a former pupil and long standing teacher at the school, I can tell you without fear of contradiction – St Margaret’s stands for...
An East Devon sixth former is being honoured this week for what is thought to be a unique attendance record.
Mel Ayres did not miss a single day of lessons in the five years she spent in the main school at Axe Valley Community College.
Mel is now in the first year of the college’s sixth form studying for ‘A’ levels.
Attendance officers at Devon County Council cannot find another single instance of 100 per cent attendance over five years at a secondary school and so Melissa’s achievement may be unique in the county.
200 children aged between five and 15 years of age from across 20 Exeter school’s came together recently to celebrate the world of wildlife around them.

Its theme was ‘the bigger picture’ and asked students to think about how taking small, local steps to help wildlife can lead to big and impressive results.
The conference featured TV naturalist Nick Baker, who gave an inspirational launch address spelling out just...
