South Brent Primary School
South Brent Primary School is a founding member of The Harbour Schools Partnership (THSP) - formally, Ventrus and The Primary Academies Trust. We converted to Academy status along with eight other primary schools across Devon. Our collection of school are an exciting mix of urban and rural schools that range in size and context, and are situated throughout Devon.
South Brent Primary School is at the heart of this vibrant village, which has a population of approximately 3000. There is a good range of small shops, a pub, societies and clubs.
Sited two minutes from the A38 Devon Expressway between Exeter and Plymouth, our school nestles in the Dartmoor countryside with the South Devon coast a few miles away. The school consists of a relatively new school building which is well resourced with excellent facilities and a newer large extension – The Den
We are a group 2 school with a planned pupil admission number of 30. We currently have 178 pupils on roll. Enthusiastic, experienced and committed staff work across seven classes providing friendly support and positive encouragement for our learners.

The School Building:
The original school opened in 1877. In 1997 we were privileged to move into a new purpose built school building. The building comprises of 10 classrooms with associated resource areas, ICT suite, hall, library, kitchen, Jungle Den, offices, staffroom, play areas, access for people with disabilities and car parking.
A new extension completed in April 2011 now houses a drama hall, music room and meeting rooms. The whole school ‘family’ is housed under one roof in a modern, spacious and comfortable environment with buildings well suited to the needs of the Academy, its vibrant Curriculum and to the challenges of the future.
