We want Collingwood to be the college that all of our parents choose, and we're actively working to go from Ofsted Good to Outstanding! Collingwood College is dedicated to producing young people who are responsible, aspirational, autonomous, joyful, and well-rounded with the confidence to achieve their objectives. The main focus of all we do is on our students. We've discovered that students are a crucial component of our unrelenting pursuit of development because we listen to their opinions and provide them the chance to collaborate with faculty, staff, and governors. All students at Collingwood College are given access to a welcoming, adaptable, and exciting educational environment. We are able to provide challenges that inspire and appeal to everyone thanks to a strong focus on personal development, a huge variety of leadership opportunities, and extracurricular activities. Our students consistently perform well academically, and they have recently produced outstanding pre- and post-secondary outcomes. In 2019, 74% of pupils earned five or more good GCSE grades, while in the sixth form, 56% of qualifications were at the A*-B level (or equivalent). The dedication of our students and teachers is what has allowed us to maintain this level of achievement. Our exceptional staff of department heads collaborates with a committed pastoral team to make sure that students are well-supported and ready for the next phase of their education and careers. We are honoured to guide Collingwood ahead for so many reasons! To schedule a visit so that we can demonstrate why, get in touch with us.
