Curriculum

At Cottingham High School, our vision is to shape positive futures for each student.   

We set high expectations in all areas of school life. We believe that every student should be ambitious for themselves and have every opportunity to access the best education, so we seek to provide all students with stimulating opportunities that build confidence, develop skills, and promote academic excellence.  

As a knowledge-engaged school, we place equal value on both the knowledge and skills students require to be equipped for life. We ensure our lessons are taught with fidelity to the intended curriculum, utilising the most effective teaching approaches for a fully inclusive experience. We provide our students with a bigger picture, so they can understand the sequencing and contextualise their learning.   

Our curriculum has been carefully constructed to guide our students to believe in themselves, achieve their extraordinary potential and ultimately succeed in their lives beyond school.
