About

Welcome to Codsall Community High School where 'Ambition, Altruism and Achievement' summarise the values that underpin all we do. I am proud to be the Headteacher of this inspirational school with its excellent staff. The school takes pride in being at the heart of a wonderful community and offers an exceptional educational experience for young people.

We believe that whilst academic achievement is critically important, education is about the whole child. Consequently, we consider the education of the character, employability, happiness and safety of children to be as important as academic progress.

I make no apologies for the high expectations and aspirations that we hold for each student, we will challenge them when their uniform or con duct are not quite right, encouraging them to have high expectations of themselves. We know that with hard work and commitment there are no limits. Our culture means we recognise and celebrate achievement and commitment regularly.

I look forward to working with you for the benefit of the students and the community. Together we will achieve fantastic things.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
