Culture, sport and clubs We're devoted to our rich cultural and sporting life and our wide range of extracurricular clubs reflects our pupils' broad mindedness and the sheer dedication of our teachers. Sport Coombe Boys' School is one of the most successful sporting schools in the borough and we offer a host of sports including football, rugby, rowing, table tennis and basketball. Our teams and individuals have found great success at local, county and national levels. We also enjoy close links with Fulham Football Club whose trainees we teach. Music In addition to our orchestra, choir and modern music- making technology, our extracurricular music programme is flourishing with many pupils taking individual instrumental lessons. Art Housed in our new Art and Design Technology Building, our Art Department is a thriving hub of creativity and mounts regular exhibitions to brighten up the corridors and ensure that our pupils' visual skills and imagination are on show throughout the year. Drama Our regular school plays and one- off extravaganzas provide some of the cultural highlights of the school year. Our extracurricular Drama Club is also hugely popular, providing both self- expression and confidence- building skills for boys of all ages. Clubs and societies For many of our pupils, our extracurricular clubs and organisations are one of their favourite aspects of school life. From music to debating and chess to swimming, we offer a host of different options and we see these activities and skills as an essential element of your son's happiness. In addition, these clubs help forge friendships and provide the roots of hobbies and enthusiasms that will serve the boys well, both now and in their later lives. 14
