Head's Welcome

At Blundell’s we offer a thriving community, steeped in a rich history but thoroughly ambitious in embracing the opportunities open to pupils today. We provide a safe and nurturing environment in which pupils grow and flourish at their own pace, supported by dedicated staff in the most beautiful Devon setting.

We love being in Devon and we are proud of our links with the county. The wonderful space around us; the rolling hills and easy access to the Exmoor, Dartmoor and stunning beaches is anyone’s dream of an idyllic childhood and that is exactly what we aspire to give our young people. We want to create magnificent memories and the experience of a young life well lived so that when our pupils leave the haven of this wonderful school they are indeed ready for life’s many and varied challenges
