General education in the County of Devon is under the control of Devon County Council - Education, Arts & Libraries Directorate.

The majority of children progress from Primary School through Secondary School to Higher Education,  the latter including Technical Colleges and other specialist Colleges and to University.

An increasing number of parents are taking the Private Education route starting at Primary School or later.

"Education" prior to primary school eg. toddlers or pre-school, is usually in the hands of the parents themselves or privately organised carers, both of which are catered for in Dunsford. .

DUNSFORD is particularly fortunate in having our own Primary School located in the middle of the village.  It is well regarded  and some pupils commute to Dunsford from out side the parish.

Pupils following the state education path normally leave Dunsford Primary School when they are 11 years of age and commute to Teign Comprehensive School located in Kingsteignton on the outskirts of Newton Abbot some ??? miles away.   Public school transport is provided.

Dunsford is within commuting distance from a large range of Higher educational facilities including Exeter College and the University of Exeter.    Many of the Colleges provide extensive facilities for Further Education for adults of all ages and abilities.
