Telscombe Cliffs Academy

At Telscombe Cliffs Academy, our mission is to improve the lives and futures of every child. As part of STEP Academy Trust, we are united by a shared purpose—to make a positive difference wherever we can. This begins in the early years, where children receive an excellent foundation, and continues through our broad, engaging curriculum with reading at its core.

We are a welcoming, inclusive school where equality, respect, and kindness are lived every day. Pupils feel safe, valued, and motivated, with a strong sense of community.

We support all learners, including those with SEND and from disadvantaged backgrounds, through inclusive teaching and targeted support. Staff are highly valued and well supported with professional development, because we believe great teachers shape great futures.

Whether you're considering a career in education or exploring new opportunities, Telscombe Cliffs offers a positive, purposeful environment where everyone can thrive.
