Why has Dartington decided to turn Foxhole into a retirement community?
Dartington School was a pioneer in new ways of thinking about and providing education for young people. Currently, this building is not sustainable in its current configuration and use. We believe that using the school buildings as the base for a new community of older learners will bring the buildings back to a restored, coherent and fruitful use – of real value to both its residents and those living nearby. And maintaining improved premises for small business and playgroup/nursery provision on the site too.
