Welcome

Welcome to Cottesmore Academy!

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. I hope it gives you a glimpse of what makes our school such a special and unique place to learn. We are always delighted to welcome families into school, so if you would like to visit, have a question or simply want to say hello, please do get in touch. I would love to meet you.

At Cottesmore Academy, we want every child and family to feel safe, valued, welcomed and proud to be part of our school community. We are very fortunate to be situated on Kendrew Barracks and to serve a wonderfully diverse community, with around 99% of our children coming from Service families. Our pupils and families bring a rich variety of cultures, experiences and traditions, including British, Fijian, Nepalese, African and Indian heritage. We see this diversity as a real strength and an opportunity for our children to learn from one another, celebrate what makes us different and develop a genuine understanding of the world around them.

I am incredibly excited to lead Cottesmore Academy and to get to know our children, families and staff. I look forward to working together as one community to make sure that every child receives the very best opportunities to learn, grow and thrive.
