Cotteridge is a school that values creativity, independence, resilience, and compassion through the opportunities that we provide. We believe that every child deserves a world-class education that sparks their curiosity and love of learning.
Our vision is to ignite and develop the highest aspirations for our pupils providing them with a primary education that they will cherish for life. We are committed to striving for academic excellence, coupled with a safe, happy, and enriching environment. As a ‘Philosophy for Children’ school, we develop learning attitudes and challenge mindsets through the 4C’s: critical, creative, collaborative, and caring thinking, placing them at the heart of everything that we do. We are an inspirational community that consists of our amazing children, their families, and our dedicated staff. We are proud of our school and the learning that happens here.
Our mission is To be a vibrant and inspirational center of Educational Excellence, where minds are opened and all learners aspire to fulfill their dreams. Simply put, we strive to give our pupils a world-class education. This is summarised in our vision: Achieving Excellence, Inspiring Dreams.
Our ethos is one of care, support, and respect. We build this ethos around a curriculum that challenges and stretches children whilst still understanding their individual needs. The students of today must demonstrate not just academic success but also that they can develop projects over some time, that they can work alone and in groups, that they can adapt to new ideas, use modern technology, solve problems, and above all that they are committed to a life of continued learning.
At Cotteridge Primary School, we embrace the fact that all children are different and have diverse learning needs. We make sure that we offer high-quality inclusive teaching, which enables all children to make the best possible progress in school and feel that they are valued members of the school community. For some children, however, there are times when further additional support is needed to help them achieve their targets. Our school SENCo works with children, teachers, parents, and agencies to ensure that our pupil’s needs are met.
