Hello everyone. My name is Mrs. Banfield and I'm the new head teacher at Combe Pafford School. I am really, really looking forward to welcoming you back to our school tomorrow.
As part of our KS2 Humanities topic on Isambard Kingdom Brunel, 6J and 5R travelled to Plymouth to visit ‘Bridging the Tamar’ Visitor Centre.
The Year 11s in Paris were up and going at 7am this morning; nice breakfast and made their own lunches.
Compulsory snap at the Eiffel Tower before lunch at the Louvre. One more stop at the Sacre Coeur before DISNEY this evening.
All pupils doing brilliantly!
Day 1 finishes with a lovely evening by the campfire playing charades, making up stories and melting marshmallows.
I think there’s a few very ready for bed!
Good night from Year 11!
The Year 11 Residential to Paris is well underway and on time.
Some pupils have found the outside deck and taking in the sea air!
We had a very exciting visitor from HMP Exeter prison for Year 9’s Crime and Punishment, a topic about how crime and punishment has changed.
As part of Year 9’s Crime and Punishment topic, we went to visit the Dartmoor Prison Museum in Princetown. Located yards from the iconic Dartmoor Prison itself, the museum is based in the old prison farm dairy where the prisoners used to work, and the milk was sent to the local Ambrosia factory.
Combe Pafford School recently welcomed the talented Kitty Stuart, a musician from Glastonbury, for a lively and entertaining visit.
For the 80th Anniversary of D-Day, children from Middle School represented Combe Pafford School at Beacon Quay, Torquay, where Torbay came together to remember those who sacrificed everything 80 years ago as they landed at beaches across Normandy to begin one of the largest invasions in human history.
The pupils on the year 9 entry level pathway learn about renewables, non-renewables and radiation. We were very fortunate to go on a trip to Hinkley point C to put learning into a real-life context.
I can't contain my excitement when I think back to the Year 7 Wales Residential trip! It was an incredible adventure filled with heaps of fun and thrilling activities.
Science week 2024 kicked off with pupils immersing themselves into the VR world by exploring the Solar system from the cold spaces of Neptune to the canyons of Mars and ending up in the hot flares of the sun!
