A very warm welcome to Combe Martin School

We are very lucky at Combe Martin as our school is situated in a fantastic location where the Exmoor National Park and the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty meet. We use our unique position to create a learning environment that values the natural world alongside subject mastery and fostering respect for understanding of our wider world.

At Combe Martin we aim for every child to be a successful part of a safe, happy, caring community of learners. We want to ensure all individuals regardless of their race, gender or disability to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to achieve their full potential in a rapidly changing world. We want children to achieve this while we encourage an enjoyment of life-long learning, promote a healthy lifestyle, through a curriculum which is relevant, stimulating, broad, balanced, innovative and creative. Our settings also aim to foster positive parental and community involvement for the good of all.

Combe Martin Primary is a rapidly changing school and we are very excited to have the responsibility of educating the children of Combe Martin whilst sharing our experiences with our recently formed Multi Academy Trust schools. Through a shared responsibility across our many settings we bring a professional, creative and caring partnership focussed on the needs of our children and communities. 'For the child, with the child' - Alumnis.
