It is our aim that by 2027, Coombe Hill Junior School will have built even further on its success and will be widely identified as the model of a creative, encouraging and aspiring school, through an inclusive ethos where all children are celebrated and valued as individuals.
Children will leave at the end of Year 6 as happy, healthy individuals, full of enthusiasm for learning, proud of their achievements, and with life-lasting memories of their experiences at Coombe and a strong sense of personal responsibility. They will feel empowered to act as global citizens, by having an understanding of the impact of climate change on the future.
They value and embrace the wide variety of backgrounds and cultures that make up our school community . The school will be identified as one of the top 5% nationally for the progress that children make.
