Ellacombe is at the heart of our local community and is located close to the centre of Torquay; over the years we have developed a strong reputation for being a supportive and caring school which fully understands the needs of our children and their families. Our wonderful pupils are at the absolute centre of our work and all our colleagues are dedicated to the development of our pupils in the fullest sense possible; we pride ourselves on putting children first in every aspect of school life.
At Ellacombe, we aim to provide the rich soil that enables our children to develop deep roots and flourish. Our Christian vision as a school is “Together, we take steps towards a brighter future”.
