We would love to share your stories in our annual Alumni Newsletter which will also update you on our current news. Last year we held an open morning for past students which was a great success. It gave students the opportunity to share past memories and reconnect with old friends and teachers. We would like to frequently host these events and invite you along with friends that you may not have seen since you left Coombe.
