Background:

East Allington is a small, working village set in the rural South Hams area of South Devon. Surrounded by lovely countryside and within a short drive from the towns of Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and Totnes, East Allington is a thriving community, which works hard to support its popular village school. East Allington School enjoys a wonderful edge-of-village location with views across rolling hills and the farming countryside beyond the village. Every child uses the field and wildlife areas as part of their physical education and science studies. The school buildings range in age from the Victorian era to 2002. The school's sporting achievements are impressive. Throughout the year children have been involved in swimming, skipping, quik cricket, tag rugby, netball. Teams have taken part in competitions and have proved themselves to be worthy losers as well as worthy winners. The school is the South-West Tag Rugby champions and its teams have been excellent ambassadors for the school on their travels. East Allington is a secure and supportive school where children can confidently tackle new challenges and experience personal success.
