More able and challenge

The Coombe Academy Trust is committed to ensuring that all children and young people leave Coombe well prepared for their next stage in life and education, preparing all for a world of opportunity. 

To do this, The Coombe Academy Trust secondary schools seek to ensure the progression of all students. ‘Challenge for All’ being a fundamental part of the schools commitment to personalise learning. We recognise that addressing the needs of the More Able students will raise achievement for much wider groups of learners in school. 

The education of More Able learners is a whole school endeavour. Each school has identified a cohort of Higher Ability Pupils (HAPs) and those pupils who are More Able (MA)  in particular subject areas. These learners are promoted to become independent learners who prepare for further education. To complement this, an extensive extra-curricular programme runs throughout the year, offering students the opportunity to extend their learning with breadth and depth outside of their usual curriculum.
