Background:

Modbury Primary was built in 1881 and originally served pupils up to school leaving age. In 1958, the older children were moved to seperate secondary schools leaving Modbury as a primary. The main building consists of a two storey block with three extra classrooms separated from the main block. The staffroom and staff resources area are in the old school house. Additional finance from the Parent-Teacher Association has allowed the creation of a library in one of the upstairs rooms. There has been building to provide two further classrooms and a new administrative office. The school also has a music room which all children get the chance to work in. There is a school choir and five music clubs for various different skills. Woodwind lessons are offered to all Key Stage 2 children. The school hall is used by others in the community in the evenings. A range of sporting opportunities are available which make use of the playing fields and school swimming pool.
