Ethos and Values
Coombe prepares each student for a World of Opportunity by enabling individuals to flourish through:
-
A broad, rich and ambitious curriculum that engages every learner in their journey at Coombe. Students discover new paths to fulfilment and academic excellence by being encouraged to explore their own potential and to stretch their minds so they can create their place in a world of opportunity.
-
A diverse and inclusive community in which empathy, tolerance, integrity and shared purpose promote exemplary behaviour and outstanding relationships. This inspires students to be inquisitive, open-minded and respectful towards the rich values and heritages that form our community whilst empowering them to overcome barriers, dream big and aim high.
-
A learning environment that develops resilience and commitment, that helps shape students' worlds by enabling them to embrace challenges, explore abilities and be innovative. We encourage our students to be brave, not perfect, helping them to take ambitious and bold academic risks as well as ensuring they celebrate their achievements with pride.

As part of Helix Learning Trust, we continue to build on the strong foundations, expertise and relationships developed through the Coombe Academy Trust, while benefiting from being part of a diverse family of mainstream and specialist schools. Working collaboratively across the Trust enables us to share expertise, resources and best practice, while retaining our individual school identity, ethos and commitment to our pupils and communities.
Our vision, “Preparing our communities for a future of possibility,” remains at the heart of everything we do. As the Trust has grown, this vision continues to guide our ambition for our staff, pupils, schools and wider communities.
For our staff, this means supporting successful and fulfilling careers throughout their time with the Trust. For our pupils, it means developing the knowledge, skills and independence they need to be successful throughout their education and beyond. For our schools, it means creating the conditions in which they can flourish, and for our wider communities, it means recognising and valuing the power of collaboration with the Trust.
Our shared values embody and define the way we work:
Ambition – Collaboration – Trust
Together, our vision and values provide a shared foundation across Helix Learning Trust, while enabling every school to retain its unique identity and continue to make a positive difference to the children and communities it serves.
