Exwick Heights

What Exwick Heights does

Exwick Heights Primary School is a state-funded primary school located on Exwick Lane in Exeter, Devon, England (EX4 2FB). The school serves children aged 2-11 through a continuous educational pathway spanning Nursery (2-3 year olds), Pre-School (3-4 year olds), Reception (4-5 year olds), Key Stage 1 (Years 1-2), and Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6). It operates as part of the Ted Wragg Multi-Academy Trust, which provides governance, financial oversight, HR policies, and central support services. The school describes itself as a "large and vibrant" institution and holds multiple recognitions including Lead School for Music, Mental Health Charter Mark, PSQM, Equal Access School status, and the Rainbow Flag Award for LGBTQ+ inclusion.

The school delivers a broad and balanced primary curriculum covering English, Mathematics, Science, Art & Design, Computing, Design Technology, French, Geography, History, Music, PSHE, Physical Education, Reading, and Religious Education, supplemented by an extensive extra-curricular club programme offered every evening of the week. Its technology stack consists entirely of third-party digital platforms: MyChildAtSchool (MCAS) for parent communication and cashless payments, Tapestry for EYFS learning journals, ClassDojo for behaviour management across Reception through Year 6, Doodle Learning for adaptive home learning, Wonde for single-sign-on access to Google Apps, and Oxford Owl for free e-books. The current school buildings were constructed post-2007 on the site of the former Guide Dogs for the Blind grounds.

The school's primary revenue model is public funding via UK government per-pupil allocations channeled through Devon County Council's school admissions process. Supplementary fee-based income is generated through wrap-around childcare (breakfast club at £5.00/session, after-school club at £5.00-£13.75/session with sibling discounts, and holiday club at £23-£70/day) operated by Foxhayes Playclub, an Ofsted-rated 'Good' childcare provider that leases specialist rooms on the school premises. Pre-School provision operates under the government's universal 3-4 year old entitlement of 570 funded hours per year. As a state-funded educational institution, the entity is structured as a non-profit and is not a target for traditional commercial investment.
