What people say about our tours:

 "The tour and the talk were excellent and my daughter loved it. Really showcased the school and the small groups allowed for questions and more informal discussions. Behaviour of school pupils going about their day was respectful and polite." 

 "Both me and my son were well impressed by your standards and left the event feeling positive, uplifted, amazed. We could clearly feel how much effort you're putting into what you do and how much it means to you. Loved it, thank you very much." 

 "The tour was brilliant. I felt it gave a very open and genuine insight into the school and allowed plenty of time for questions along the way." 

 "I would like to congratulate the team of teachers and pupils who welcomed us to your school this morning. My daughter and I were made to feel very welcome. The attention to detail was great, especially letting us see the change over between classes. Our son attends Coombe Dean and we really appreciate the amount of work the team put into the transition from primary school to secondary school. The tour of the school today was interesting and informative. It was great to have the opportunity to ask the year 9s with us any questions. Many thanks for a great open morning."
