Schools in Exmouth
Devon's earliest established seaside resort, Exmouth stretches along the east bank of the River Exe in East Devon, its two miles of golden sands and the county's longest seafront promenade reaching Orcombe Point, where the Geoneedle monument marks the western boundary of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The town numbers around 36,000 people today.
The Avocet Line follows the Exe estuary to Exeter St Davids in around forty minutes, placing the county city within comfortable daily reach. Littleham is among the most sought-after corners of Exmouth for primary school catchments, and Bassetts Farm draws families competing for local places; Withycombe Raleigh and Lympstone extend the residential spread northward.
