Welcome to Combe Pafford School.

It is my great privilege to be the Headteacher of Combe Pafford School. Our school is a truly amazing place where our young people are happy and feel safe. Lifelong learning is the core of our offer and students work towards both academic and vocational qualifications, that are bespoke for them and allow everyone to achieve, feel a sense of fulfilment and be successful and confident when they leave us.  I am superbly supported by a highly experienced staff team and governing body who are all committed to providing the very best educational provision for all our young people.

Combe Pafford provides a unique educational experience for students aged 8-19 who have moderate learning difficulties, physical difficulties, ASC or complex needs. We are driven to ensure that all our students receive the highest standard of teaching and an opportunity for academic success that best suits their needs.  This academic journey combines with our inspiring vocational pathway which continues through into our Post 16 provision. Students can take courses and gain experience in a wide range of vocational opportunities and work experience that ultimately will lead them into the next phase of their lives.

I hope that our website provides you with the answers to your questions about our school. The only way to really see who we are and experience our unique culture is to come and visit us. Please contact us to arrange a visit – you are always welcome.

 I look forward to meeting you.
