Cumberland Community School (CCS) is an exceptional learning environment with a real community spirit. We provide students with a high degree of challenge combined with excellent support.

Our staff share a commitment to delivering interesting and engaging lessons and to raising attainment. Relationships between staff and students are excellent and discipline is strong. We treat one another with respect and understanding.

We have a genuinely comprehensive intake and we work hard to meet the needs of all our students, from those who come to us with exceptional talents and abilities to those who require additional support to succeed.

We are well resourced and  have a modern, well-equipped estate which supports learning. We offer a wide range of leadership and extra-curricular opportunities to our students.

We are committed to ensuring our young people progress to college, university and working life, fulfilling their aspirations. We provide a first-rate education at CCS because we equip our students with the skills, knowledge and attitude required to be good citizens and to succeed in the 21st century.

At CCS we have very high expectations of everyone who is involved with the school - from students and staff to parents and governors. Our goal is to see all students become highly-skilled learners, achieving excellent standards and leading fulfilling and exciting lives. Students and teachers alike enjoy lessons, which make for a positive and purposeful atmosphere throughout the school. Our commitment to equal opportunities is reflected in all aspects of school life and we welcome young people from all cultures, backgrounds and beliefs. We aim for our students to leave CCS as well-educated, knowledgeable, confident and well-rounded individuals.

We aim to build a love for learning and promote a thirst for knowledge in all our students. We believe that by modelling behaviour, and by recognising and rewarding effort and achievement, we provide an environment where students are proud to present their work and strive for the highest standards.
