Coombe Hill Infants' is an inclusive school that supports the needs, well-being and progress of every child.
Our whole school ethos is one of inclusion, and as a school we aim to provide a secure, nurturing environment with a broad and balanced curriculum for all of our pupils. We recognise, respect and value difference and understand that diversity is a strength. We endeavour to make sure all children are given the right support to reach their full potential and ultimately become an independent learner. Together in an inclusive environment, our children are able to learn skills and a positive attitude towards others, that will help them as they grow older.
If you feel your child has any additional needs or you would like to discuss your concerns and would like to book an appointment please contact Mrs Jacqueline Heard, our SENCO and Inclusion Manager, by emailing jheard1@chi.rbksch.org.

Being a parent is one of the hardest roles, we may ever have.
Being a parent of a child with special educational needs, can feel quite lonely at times. If you feel you need support or someone to talk to, do get in touch with us.
Our wonderful parents have established a CHIPTA "celebrating diversity group". This has been very successful in helping parents to feel less alone and ensures there is always someone there if you need someone to talk to. They have regular informal meetings, walk and talk sessions and discussions over tea/coffee and cake.
If you would prefer to talk to someone outside of the school, try one of these supportive groups instead...
At Coombe Hill Infants we follow a graduated approach cycle - assess, plan, do, review. This means we assess the needs of the children and put the appropriate support in place, which is personalised to meet their needs.
