From the Cove School
A very warm welcome to Cove School website. I hope that you find the information you are looking for whether you are a parent, a student, a potential job applicant or an interested visitor. As a school we are immensely proud of all our students and staff and all that we achieve together. We are dedicated to providing an exceptional learning experience for all students, whilst also supporting them to become mature, self-confident and well-rounded young people. If you were to ask a Cove parent why they chose us for their child, they would tell you that students here seem happy, balanced, well-behaved young people, that we succeed in combining academic challenge with a good range of enrichment opportunities beyond the classroom and provide excellent pastoral care. Education is the key to the future: it only happens once in a young person's life and we make it our duty and responsibility to ensure that it is the best it can be for every student. We recognise that words, pictures and statistics will only give you a hint of the warmth, ambition and commitment of Cove and we invite you to see us in action. We are very confident that a visit to the School will justify your interest as we continue to develop as a centre of educational excellence. The staff, governors and leadership team are dedicated to taking the school forward with the achievement and well-being of our students at the heart of everything we do. We believe we offer something very special to all our students as part of our learning community and look forward to sharing this with you.
