The Wildings Lovaton

Lower Lovaton Cottage, Lovaton, PL20 6PT

Independent special school for ages 7–18 in Lovaton. Mixed intake.

The Wildings Lovaton is an independent special school in Lovaton, Devon, registered for young people aged 7 to 18. With capacity for just 10 pupils, it is a genuinely tiny setting in a rural corner of the county.

The school describes itself as a place for young people who have been excluded from, or fallen out of, mainstream education, treating recovery from trauma as the primary need. Its team, it says, includes trained therapeutic mentors, a mental health lead and staff covering science, maths, English, humanities and outdoor education, with structured reading programmes such as Read Write Inc and Accelerated Reader running through its teaching, and a curriculum spanning social, emotional, vocational and academic learning.
