Cockburn School
Description
Learning for Life “Transformation to Excellence”
Cockburn School is a converter academy which is a member of the Cockburn Multi-academy Trust whose focus is on each individual, acknowledging both their rights and responsibilities. A strong care, support and guidance structure underpins a curriculum that seeks to develop the potential of every student. Academic rigour is valued at all stages and we strive to create learning experiences that provide challenge, engagement and achievement.
Our vision is to create opportunities within and beyond the curriculum to enable each student to develop their potential so that they become confident, independent and successful citizens.
We seek to widen the aspirations of all students, to help them to reach destinations that are attainable and fulfilling. We work to raise attainment and the quality of teaching and learning for all our students. Our specialism enables students to become more interested and involved in the arts, both as part of the curriculum and as part of the extended school’s programme.
We have high expectations of academic success and personal behaviour and believe that these are best achieved in a caring environment.
We promote respect and good manners; these are fundamental to our school based on our shared values and expectations. We recognise the importance of each individual and the school’s place in the local community. We aim to promote lifelong learning by developing creative, independent and reflective learners. We believe in the equality of opportunity and in celebrating success for all.
