Collingwood School & Media Arts College

I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming school with a strong emphasis on pastoral care alongside a rigorous academic education tailored to the needs of the individual. Every pupil has the opportunity to succeed and flourish, whilst being thoroughly prepared for adulthood. I look forward to meeting you and working together. Gillian Linkleter Head Teacher Collingwood is a very special place We aim to provide a caring, supportive and inclusive environment, which has high expectations and values all members within the school community. We respect the needs and aspirations of all individuals and provide opportunities for all pupils to make the best possible progress and attain the highest personal achievements. The school has a tradition of being a caring and friendly environment for children; this ethos stems from the high calibre and commitment of staff and governors where we encourage all children to be enthusiastic and committed learners who aim to develop their confidence, capacity to learn and work independently and collaboratively. We have a range of facilities to provide the very best education that we can for our young people. We have an amazing library, sensory room, sensory garden, our own heated pool, a Personal Education Centre located in a bespoke lodge, a Pupil Support Centre situated in the heart of the school, a Forest school area complete with Roundhouse and a superb media suite with animation, sound and video recording/editing facilities.
