Welcome to Coombe Boys’ School

Parents, carers and friends are warmly invited to come along to the PFA AGM on Thursday next week. At last months PFA meeting we had a fantastic turnout of Dads and it would be lovely to see even more this month. Headteacher Mr Smith will be speaking, and it's a great opportunity to support the school, bring fundraising ideas to the table, meet fellow parents, and to get involved. We look forward to seeing you there. 📆 Thursday 16th October ⏰ 7pm 📍 Coombe Boys' School #CBSPFA

We would like to say a huge thank you to @kwebberwanders, co-author of Dragon Mountain, our Big Read book for 2025. Yesterday she visited us to lead an inspiring assembly with our Year 7 students, run writing workshops in the #CBSLibrary, have lunch with the Book Club boys who selected the book as our 2025 Big Read, sign hundreds of books and answer a multitude of questions which the boys were very excited about. A day to remember! 📕⠀ ⠀ #CBSBigRead #CBSAuthorVisit

📚 Who says boys don’t read? Our #CBSLibrary is buzzing with over 200 students visiting every single school day! A love of reading is alive and thriving here, thanks to the incredible work of the #CBSEnglishTeam and Miss Canavan, our Library Manager, who curates engaging, literacy-focused activities that our boys genuinely enjoy. Coombe boys do read, it's encouraged and it's celebrated! #CoombeReads #BoysReadToo #LibraryLife #ProudToRead #CBSBigRead

🏓 Thanks to all the students who took part in the Team Borough Table Tennis competition yesterday, it was great to see such good table tennis on display. Coombe Boys came 1st in U16 and 2nd in U13 🏓

Back in July at our first performance of Guys and Dolls we held a special charity collection for @sschospices. We would like to thank all who gave so generously, and want to pass on the following thank you message from the charity ...⠀ ⠀ "I wanted to write to say thank you to everyone at Coombe Boys' School for your incredibly generous donation of £511.04, made in loving memory of James Peck. Your gift is a meaningful tribute in their honour, and we are deeply grateful that you have chosen to support Shooting Star Children’s Hospices in this special way.⠀ ⠀ Your support ensures we can continue providing specialist care and support to families who have a baby, child or young person with a life-limiting condition, or whose child has died.⠀ ⠀ Our specialist care and support is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It includes specialist nursing in the community, symptom management and pain relief, overnight respite stays, end-of-life care, specialist bereavement care, and a comprehensive range of therapies, groups, and clinics for the whole family.⠀ ⠀ We rely almost entirely on the kindness and generosity of supporters like you. Your thoughtful gift helps ensure that families facing the unimaginable can receive the very best care, compassion, and support when they need it most.⠀ ⠀ Thank you once again for your support, and for choosing to remember James in such a special way."⠀ ⠀ #CoombeUnity

As we enter October, here is the latest image of the new build, taken on Tuesday from behind the hoardings. As you can see, we now have partially clad walls, and there are even some windows. It's getting very exciting! #CBSNewBuild

Students have been very interested in the new signage that went up earlier this week, showing visuals of the new school buildings and a plan of the site as it will look when complete. We are all excited by what's coming soon! #CBSNewBuild

Our Year 11 Geography students have been exploring the fascinating world of rivers. There’s no better way to deepen understanding than through hands-on learning, and they've thoroughly enjoyed bringing the classroom to life out in the field! #CBSGeographyTeam #FieldTrip #DeliveringExcellence
