Our Community

The Coombes shares a site with the neighbouring Arborfield, Newland and Barkham Church of England Junior School, in the Village of Arborfield, between Wokingham and Reading in the County of Berkshire. We have close links with nearby Arborfield Garrison, our neighbouring Junior school and schools in Reading and Wokingham.

Our local Education Authority is the Wokingham District Council, set up after the Local government re-organisation which saw the end of Berkshire County Council. We are supported by a Board of Governors and have an active Parents and Teachers Association, here called the Schools' Association.

The children attending the Coombes come from a wide geographical area including Reading, Wokingham, the smaller towns and villages of Mortimer, Eversley, Winnersh and of course Arborfield and Barkham.

We have links and partnerships with organisations and supporters in the local community, in all parts of the United Kingdom and in the wider world.
