History

The school was founded in 1931 (as Beverley Central School) and celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2021. Until 2005, it was named Beverley Boys' School. [2]

In 2006, the school federated with Coombe Girls' School and Sixth Form, forming part of the Coombe Academy Trust. It has a long-standing educational partnership with the independent King's College School, Wimbledon. Coombe Boys' School is part of the Kingston Teaching School Alliance, a partnership of over twenty schools, Achieving for Children (AfC) and two higher education institutions; the UCL Institute of Education (University of London) and the University of Roehampton.

In February 2023, it was announced that large parts of the school buildings are to be demolished and replaced in a major re-building programme. [3]

Results and achievements

The school was inspected by Ofsted in December 2013 and again, in a short inspection, in March 2018. The overall inspection rating for Coombe Boys' School on both occasions was 'Good with Outstanding Features'. In 2013, the school was rated 'Outstanding' for Leadership and Management and 'Good' in 'Achievement of Pupils', the 'Quality of Teaching' and the 'Behaviour and Safety of Pupils'.

In 2018, Ofsted commented that: "The latest GCSE results show that the school has maintained above-average attainment in English and mathematics" and: "In the sixth form, vocational results are exceptionally strong." The report also found that: "Warm, positive relationships have created a supportive environment in which pupils feel confident to ask questions and push themselves further".

In 2020, Coombe Boys' Drama Department was awarded the first 'National Outstanding School Drama Department' at the Music & Drama Education Awards. [4] Judges remarked that the Coombe Boys' Drama Team were "An exemplary department which goes above and beyond in the pursuit of excellence in drama provision".
