Welcome from the Head

A warm welcome to Cobham Hall, we are committed to creating opportunities that enable every student to achieve their best academically while ensuring they are known as individuals. We nurture each student’s unique personality, talents, and interests, helping them develop to their full potential. A Cobham Hall education is about developing the whole child, offering opportunities to flourish within and beyond the classroom. Our students grow into successful learners and well-rounded individuals, excited to take their next steps with confidence and ambition.

Since 1962, Cobham has been a School for girls, but I am delighted to say we are now a fully co-educational School.

I am thrilled to introduce the Bligh House SEND Centre, a new provision within the grounds of Cobham Hall and in partnership with The Chiltern Way Academy Trust. This exciting addition brings a new SEND provision to the Southeast of England, sharing our 150 acres of grounds and excellent facilities here at Cobham Hall. This new educational initiative marks a significant step in providing additional support and specialist teaching for students who need it most in an Innovative setting. I look forward to seeing the positive impact Bligh House SEND Centre will have, helping young people thrive in a nurturing and inspiring environment within Cobham.

Come and see what Cobham Hall School or Bligh House could offer your child - visit us for a tour, taster day or open morning and experience all on offer.
