At Coombe Wood School, our core values underpin everything we do. While rooted in sport, they are essential to success in learning and in life.

Our success is built on three key pillars:

Ambition, Community and Culture.

• Ambition drives us to set high expectations and strive for excellence in all areas.

• Community ensures that students, parents, carers and staff work together with mutual trust and shared responsibility.

• Culture reflects the standards, behaviours and attitudes that create a safe, respectful and aspirational environment in which every student can thrive.

Strong partnership between students, parents/carers and staff is vital. Through mutual trust, high expectations and shared responsibility, we remove barriers to achievement and create a community where every young person can succeed.

This agreement reflects our shared commitment to uphold the school’s values and policies in a spirit of cooperation and respect.

As Headteacher of Coombe Wood School, I will endeavour to ensure that all staff:
