About Us

Coombe Girls’ School and Sixth Form is a comprehensive girls’ state secondary school, with a co-educational Sixth Form. The school is heavily oversubscribed and is committed to providing an excellent education to children in the local area. We are proud of the progress our students make from their starting points during their time with us. We place significant emphasis on excellent pastoral care and opportunities for personal development. We foster the approach of ‘Brave, not perfect’ in our students and are committed to preparing them for a ‘world of opportunity’.

Our school is vibrant and diverse, serving the local area of New Malden. We value every individual and the rich wealth of experience, knowledge, values and beliefs they bring to our school. We are very proud of our students and their zest for life and new opportunities. The experience, passion and talent you will bring to our school will ensure we continue to provide the best education for our students and further increase the breadth of opportunity for the next generation. We particularly encourage applications from colleagues in underrepresented groups and welcome conversations about flexible working opportunities.

We have a long tradition of using research to develop our teaching and learning to the benefit of our students. The vast majority of our students in the Sixth Form continue to university at 18.

Coombe Girls’ School and Sixth Form is situated in New Malden in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and there are excellent rail links to both London Waterloo.

We are proud to be part of the Coombe Academy Trust and enjoy the opportunities for collaborative working and developing strength provided by the Trust. www.coombeschools.org
