Coundon Court is an all-inclusive Academy in Coundon, Coventry, England. The Headteacher is Chris Heal. [1]
Coundon Court has, as of June 2021, approximately 1800 enrolled students. [2] The school serves an age range from 11 to 18, fully comprehensive school serving students from areas surrounding and including the centre of Coventry. The school converted to an Academy in April 2012 retaining the name and staff of the predecessor school. [3] [4]
Coundon Court is located in the northwestern suburbs of Coventry, adjacent to the open countryside of the Coundon Wedge.
Coundon Court as of the 28th March 2023 was rated "requires improvement" by Ofsted.
The Academy is currently undergoing a school rebuild which is funded by the DfE.
The Old House, a locally listed building, was originally the home of George Singer (1847–1909), who had the mansion built in 1890–91. [5] The school opened on the site in 1953 as an all girls comprehensive school. [6]
Over time, as the number of students increased, the original buildings proved to be too small and the school was extended – with the Home Economics Block (which later became the Post 16 Centre), School Hall (circa 1954), the North Block (constructed circa 1955–56) and the South Block. A Physical Education block with swimming pool and 2 sports halls was constructed.
A section of the Old House was damaged by fire in 1956 and subsequently rebuilt.
In 2007, a new Performing Arts and Post 16 Centres were built. In 2016, a new four-court sports hall was opened.
The school is currently undergoing a school rebuild which will see an introduction of 3 new teaching blocks.
Coundon Court has a number of key characteristics and achievements
The 1994 OFSTED report commented that they were "a caring community" within which "the feeling of welcome and care is in evidence everywhere". A second OFSTED report in 1998 highlighted their progress in standards of achievement "which are significantly better than the average achieved nationally". In 2008 and again in 2009 Ofsted commented on the outstanding leadership of the school and the excellent academic standards of students.
In 2014 Ofsted rated the Academy as 'Requires improvement'. [7]
In 2016, Ofsted rated the Academy as 'Good'. [3]
In 2023, Ofsted rated the Academy as 'Requires Improvement'
The school has a community football team – Coundon Court F.C. founded in 2002, Coventry's only FA charter standard development club.
