History

Cottingham High School was originally named Cottingham Secondary School and was established in 1955 as a Secondary Modern school. The school site is on what was formerly Cottingham Grange, built in 1802. Part of the land which belonged to Cottingham Grange is now part of 'The Lawns', owned by the University of Hull for student halls of residence.

Because of the increased numbers of pupils attending the school, the original building was no longer large enough, and by September 1975 a new Science and Technical block was completed together with a second gymnasium and new sports hall. In 1978 a new Humanities and Modern Languages block and a Sixth Form block was completed. In 2000 a new Drama and Music block was built, and a Business Studies block was completed in 2003.[ citation needed ]

In September 2004 Cottingham High School gained Specialist in Media and Performing Arts status, which provided extra equipment and facilities, including a recording studio, film editing suite and ICT facilities.[ citation needed ]

In September 2009 the school became part of the Haltemprice Consortium along with Wolfreton School and Hessle High School. [1]

In July 2011 the secondary school became an Academy. [2] [ failed verification ]

In March 2012 Elizabeth Logan was suspended from her post as head of the school. [3] She resigned from her post due to "personal and professional reasons" on 21 August 2012. [4]

In May 2015 the school received a Grade 3 'Requires Improvement' rating from Ofsted. [5]
