School Description

The new headteacher is ambitious and very enthusiastic. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Teachers now have a spring in their step. They believe in themselves and they believe in their pupils. Expectations are high across the school. Although the curriculum could be even better in some subjects, the school is improving. An example of this is the wide range of qualifications that pupils can now take. Pupils leave school ready for the next stages of their lives. They are well prepared for the world outside of Collingwood, both socially and emotionally. This includes students in the sixth form. Members of staff are fully committed to pupils at Collingwood. As one parent said, ‘From very first day the support from the school has been incredible, it is like my child is a different person.’ Teachers know the individual needs of pupils and provide for them well. Pupils work hard. Their behaviour is excellent. They are polite and friendly. There is no bullying. If anyone is unkind, adults help to sort it out quickly. The range of opportunities available for pupils is impressive. The recent ‘Collingwood’s got talent’ event is an example of how leaders celebrate all of their pupils. Parents and staff were moved to see pupils on stage singing with confidence. Others showed off their skills, including one who completed the Rubik’s cube in record time. School leaders look to spot pupils’ talents and to develop them.
