Combe Pafford School

We are a special school in Torquay catering for pupils aged 8-18 with moderate learning difficulties, Autism and/or Physical Difficulties.
We have developed a clear vision to ensure our pupils get the best out of their education and are as well prepared for life and employment as they can possibly be! To this end, we have developed an amazing range of specialist teaching facilities and this together with our small class sizes, 5 hours of non-contact time, enable teachers to both teach effectively and achieve a work/life balance
