St Wilfrid's is a small independent school and has been in existence for over 150 years and is well known and respected in Exeter for providing non-selective, independent education on a co-educational basis. The overall policy of St Wilfrid's School, as a school in Devon , is to create a learning environment in which all of the pupils are stimulated to achieve a positive self image by experiencing success, accepting responsibility and by recognising and respecting the needs and achievements of others. At St Wilfrid's we have an average class size of 10 thus ensuring pupils receive maximum attention and supervision whilst a small community means a positive and secure environment. The atmosphere in which our pupils work ensures stability and happiness so that all may progress and attain their full potential. Relationships are good, behaviour is excellent and discipline problems are virtually unknown. Pupils gain confidence and many school refusers have blossomed. Our School is a community in which everyone works happily and purposefully together and where we value the contribution each pupil makes.
