Welcome to Colfes
First-time visitors to Colfe's often comment on two things: the open and spacious nature of the
site, and the happy, friendly atmosphere. Pastoral care is a key strength. As one parent said:
'Colfe's is interested in people, not just exam results' so whilst our academic reputation is
vitally important to us, so is the well-being of each and every child. In recent years we have seen
a welcome surge in academic achievement, notably at A level. We intend to ensure this trend
continues, whilst maintaining our outstanding reputation in the wider curriculum, which includes
sport, music, drama and outdoor pursuits.
Richard Russell, Headmaster.
We always welcome visits from prospective parents and pupils. For further details and/or an
appointment, please telephone:
