Welcome to new parents/children!

If you have been offered a place at Combe Down Primary School, but have not yet heard from us, please email us so we can add you to our communication system!

We will hold Transition Sessions and Parents’ information evenings in June. These will provide opportunities for you to meet us and ask any questions you may have, and will give your child a chance to come in to school, meet with their teachers and explore their classrooms, so they feel confident when they start in September.
