Believing & Achieving Together to be the Best We Can Be

The Best We Can Be!

‘Tipton St John is a vibrant, happy and inclusive school, where nurture enables pupils and adults to thrive and flourish. By believing and achieving together, lives are transformed. The school’s vision underpins the curriculum and there is an unwavering desire for all to succeed and to be the best that they can be.’ (SIAMS 2025)

We are very proud of our successful village school, set in an idyllic, countryside location in East Devon. We are ambitious for all our pupils and it is our aim to achieve the highest standards of education in a safe and happy environment, equipping all pupils with confidence, academic skills, a social conscience and an enthusiasm to continue their learning.

‘A strong Christian vision, driven with passion by leaders, underpins school life. A sense of ‘togetherness’ and ‘love’ is openly expressed and lived out through the HEART values of hope, empathy, achievement, reflection and thankfulness. Pupils and staff speak with conviction about how these values inspire them to be the best that they can be.’

We are also made stronger through our partnerships: Strong and positive home/school partnerships are essential and we work closely with parents and carers to ensure each child’s journey is valued and successful. As part of the Otter Valley Federation we work closely with Feniton CE Primary School. The Governors and the staff of the two schools believe that two great schools sharing the same Christian ethos and approach to education are made even stronger through working together.
