Pencombe CofE Primary is a very special place. We hope our school website provides you with an insight into our caring and happy school. I am extremely proud to be the Head of School at Pencombe. Our dedicated staff and whole school community, ensure our children are at the centre of everything we do.
Set in a stunning rural location, and with small class sizes, we pride ourselves on knowing every child and their family well, encouraging and nurturing each child's talents. When entering our school, you will immediately feel the warmth, friendliness and dedication that is the foundation in all that we do.
Our vision at Pencombe CofE Primary is "In God's hands, we love, learn, grow and inspire." Each child is like a mustard seed, and each child grows from something small into something strong and beautiful, offering support to those who they meet in life.
