Biography

Our school’s motto is “Achievement for all” and we strive to encourage and support students to be the best they can be. We enable students to find their particular talent and use it to benefit themselves and others, encouraging them to be creative and to see the world as greater than their academic achievements. We also embrace the unusual customs associated with Ottery St Mary, including The Tar Barrels, Pixie Day and the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. We have our own team, and it’s lovely to see students working out their own solutions to problems, developing and testing them to make things work well. 

Ambition

We want to help facilitate the schools in the hub to achieve the best results that they can. We’re all learning together, and by sharing our knowledge and understanding we can all support our students to really get the best from FIRST Tech Challenge UK. We’d love to share our knowledge of OnShape, SolidWorks, Techsoft 2D Design, laser cutting and 3D printing with teams.
