Coombe Hill Junior School sits between Kingston and New Malden in surprisingly spacious and beautiful grounds.  We are a 3/4 form entry school and are proud of our rich diversity of cultures and faiths.  There are 390 children in the school who are encouraged to develop a growth mindset; we believe in celebrating success and effort through a variety of rewards.  We are currently rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted.

The values of Creative, Encouraging, Aspiring  are ones that apply to us as teachers and school leaders as much as to our pupils.  We want our pupils to develop their creativity through their writing, through their performances and through their ability to think.  Similarly, we expect the same of ourselves – that we are creative practitioners and engage our pupils through interesting and exciting lessons and experiences from Strictly Coombe Dancing to our school story.

We constantly aim to deliver a positive and encouraging atmosphere within school, which means that we use plenty of rewards and take as many opportunities as possible to recognise our pupils’ successes - from classroom rewards to our Learner of the Week badges and our prestigious Endeavour Medal.  At the same time, we expect our children to work collaboratively, to encourage each other and to celebrate each others’ successes.  We are a team at Coombe Hill and that is a source of great pride.

Of course, we never lose sight of our core purpose – we want our children to leave the school proud of their achievements - be they academic, artistic or sporting and we want them to have high hopes for their futures.   Similarly, we have the same expectations for ourselves – our teachers aim to make their lessons the best they can be and we all aspire to make Coombe Hill Junior School as good a school as we possibly can.

One of London’s liveliest boroughs. Life revolves around the Thames, with the buzzing market town of Kingston being the main attraction. Kingston High Street runs parallel to the Thames so it many of its favourite restaurants are found situated along the banks of the riverside.

With the popular Kingston University based here there is an abundance of bars and clubs to entertain the vibrant student population and younger residence.

Kingston upon Thames is one of the greener areas of the capital with two royal parks in neighbouring Richmond upon Thames. Local parks hold facilities to cater for all those who enjoy the great outdoors, such as Canbury Gardens which is home to the Kingston Rowing Club boathouse and is in turn a great spot for fishing.

Only half an hour from central London it has excellent train links. Situated near to the A3 and M25 it is also easily accessible by car. The river bus as an excellent alternative to get into Canary Wharf and London Bridge.
