To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware and Save A Life - see more here.

We celebrated World Book Day 2026 at Paignton Academy — and what an amazing day it was!
Our students loved seeing all their teachers dressed up as their favourite book characters, and the staff put in an incredible effort with their creative and colourful costumes!
Over in the library, our fantastic library team hosted a range of fun activities, including their fairy‑tale‑themed mystery, "The Disappearance of Dave the Troll"
Students had a brilliant time solving clues and taking part during break and lunch — lots of excitement, detective work, and laughter all around!
A huge thank‑you to our wonderful staff and library team for making this day so engaging and memorable. Let’s keep the love of reading alive all year round!
