Mr Corfe was genuinely one of the most passionate, intellectual and caring teachers I ever had during my time at Dame Alice Owen’s. He took the time to explain and genuinely appreciated those who reciprocated his passion towards learning and teaching. I’m deeply saddened by the loss and all my thoughts go to his friends and family.

The most inspirational teacher I've ever had during my final years at school. He cared about his subjects & students like no other. So sad to hear of his passing.

The last thing Mr Corfe said to me was “keep smiling” as I left his classroom after giving him his leaving card when I was in secondary school. I am so lucky to have had his influence in my life as a young person and his inspirational guidance in helping me become the adult I am now.
