Welcome from the Head Teacher at Cumberland School
We very much adopt a ‘can do’ philosophy and instil this attitude in all our pupils. All staff in our school have a passion and conviction that our pupils are able to achieve what their potential suggests, and we endeavour to do all in our power, and beyond, to ensure this happens. We are always optimistic about our pupils’ continual success, progress and achievement.
Our school has recently split across two sites to further enhance the learning experience of our pupils. Our new Station Road Campus is a bespoke provision for Key Stage 4 pupils. The new facility is an extension of Cumberland School, which provides pupils with opportunities to develop and achieve within their chosen academic and vocational pathways, and also to offer the best opportunities to succeed in further education and/or employment in the future.
