Schools in Newton Abbot

East Ogwell lies to the south.

On the River Teign at the foot of Dartmoor, Newton Abbot is a Devon market town of around 27,000 people whose Victorian railway heritage shaped its compact centre. Great Western Railway services reach Exeter in under twenty minutes, linking the town into Devon's regional network. The South Devon Railway locomotive works drove rapid growth through the nineteenth century, and the Brunel industrial estate and Decoy country park now occupy that same ground. Kingsteignton and Stover are among the most sought-after pockets for primary school catchments, drawing families who also look toward Chagford on the moor's edge.
