At West Buckland School, we proudly stand among the leading independent schools in the UK, for boys and girls aged 3 to 18. Our ethos distinguishes us, as we prioritise shaping the school experience around each child. With a commitment to exceptional teaching, we place the child at the heart of all we do. Our ultimate goal is to empower every individual to discover their unique excellence.
A Welcome from Helen Lowe, Head
“The highest reward for your toil is not what you get for it but what you become by it.” John Ruskin
Welcome to West Buckland School
Tradition and Innovation Combined
Founded in 1858 for the children of local farmers, West Buckland School is an exciting and special place. It is rich in tradition, its links to its past so well guarded and celebrated through its Foundation and President, Lady Arran, yet it also boasts a future-driven agenda to ensure it remains wholly relevant and forward-thinking in the education and opportunities it provides. West Buckland is a school with a buoyant future.
The school is one of an increasingly small number of truly independent schools. We do not have to bow to private investors’ agendas and so can focus fully on what is best for our pupils without any external pressures. Though funding is, of course, key to schools, the idea that a school’s provision of scholarships and bursaries is in place just to increase numbers, rather than add value to the pupils involved, is not something which West Buckland, or I, could ever support. A school is not just getting the children through the doors – it must deliver for those pupils once they are there. Sitting at Speech Day in July, it was clear that the traditions of the school and the depth of feeling it engenders in all those who are part of it are evident for all to see. If you want a school where there is a heart and soul, West Buckland is the place.
We are no longer living in a world where the imparting of knowledge is what a school does; knowledge for our young people is everywhere at the click of a button. With continued technological innovation and the growth in AI, I believe that adaptive teaching, kindness, intellectual discussion and debating skills are more important than ever. We blend the underpinning motto of Read and Reap with our character values, innovation, sustainability, playing a meaningful part in the local community and of course excellent teaching and pastoral care.
This school has a staff body, governors, parents, a foundation, trustees and fantastic pupils who want to ensure that this happens.
I am proud to be leading West Buckland School, and I look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful campus, whether you are a current or a prospective parent, to find out more about us.
Please keep an eye out for upcoming events and opportunities to visit the school. Or contact the school to make an appointment to come in to meet me; I can promise that you will be made most welcome.
Helen Lowe, Head of School
Our remarkable campus
Described as “a gem of a school in an outstanding location” by the Good Schools Guide, West Buckland School, founded in 1858, is set on 100 acres of stunning countryside near the Atlantic coast. Recent investments of over £14 million have transformed our campus, blending traditional charm with modern facilities. This environment inspires students to excel academically, culturally, and athletically, revealing their unique excellence

#ThrowbackThursday to February`s spectacular production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! 🚗
What a journey it was. Our Senior School production lit up the stage at the Landmark Theatre, Ilfracombe, giving our students the unforgettable experience of performing in a professional theatre and showcasing the incredible talent that exists across our school community.
From our outstanding actors, dancers and musicians to the dedicated backstage, technical and production teams, every single person played a part in making this show such a tremendous success. With three fantastic performances and wonderful audiences filling the theatre, the support from families, staff, friends and the wider school community was truly amazing.
Productions like this are a shining example of the top-quality performing arts opportunities we are proud to offer, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will be remembered as one of our most magical shows yet.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped bring the production to life, both on stage and behind the scenes. We couldn`t be prouder of what was achieved together. 🎭✨

🎺Last Post Ceremony Honour for Students
We are incredibly proud of William SW, Thomas B, River P, Mason O and Scarlett N, who recently travelled to Belgium with the Devon Youth Wind Orchestra and had the huge honour of playing at the Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate.
Held every evening since 1928, the ceremony honours the soldiers of the former British Empire and its allies, who died in the Ypres Salient during the First World War. The orchestra tour also included two further concerts in historic parts of Belgium.
The students played beautifully and were impeccably behaved throughout, a true credit to the school. A wonderful, unforgettable experience - well done to all involved!

🏉 #ThrowbackThursday
This week we`re looking back to March 2026 and the Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens, where our U14 girls represented West Buckland School.
Showing incredible determination, resilience and team spirit, with half of the squad playing above their age group, the girls rose to the challenge and secured an impressive victory to finish top of their pool. They progressed to the Cup Round of 16, where their remarkable tournament journey came to an end against strong opposition. A fantastic achievement for a team making their debut for WBS. 🏉💪🏼
A huge thank you to @limitlesskit for capturing these brilliant photos of our U14s in action. 📸
Now, the countdown is on to an exciting summer of girls` rugby with Exeter Chiefs Women preparing to host the first-ever girls-only residential rugby camp at West Buckland School. Taking place from 3–5 August, the camp offers an incredible opportunity for girls to develop their skills, build confidence and learn from some of the very best in players.

🏏 Celebrating an Outstanding Achievement for Issie O! 🌟
In a recent Devon Under-18 Girls Cricket match, Issie produced a sensational display of spin bowling. After Somerset had made a steady start and looked well placed, she showcased excellent control and variation, claiming a superb five-wicket haul against a strong batting line-up.
Her landmark fifth wicket was a fitting reward for an exceptional performance, completing a memorable five-for and cementing her place as one of the standout performers of the competition. While the game didn`t go their way overall, there was still much to be proud of.
👏 A fantastic individual achievement and a spell to be proud of. Congratulations, Issie!
