Organisation Description Great Cornard Middle School is a co-educational, comprehensive day school for pupils aged between 9-13 years. We have approximately 460 pupils on roll. The LA is responsible for admissions to the school and full details of their policy and procedures can be obtained form the school office.
The school is organised on a year basis with a Year Leader responsible for the pastoral care and progress of the children in his/her year group. Each child is allocated to a tutor group and the tutor (class teacher) will get to know your child extremely well. Year 5 are, for the majority of their lessons, taught by their class teacher as an introductory year to the school. In Year 6, 7 and 8 pupils are taught by different specialist teachers for most of their lessons. Each subject area (for example English, Maths and Science) has a Subject Leader and these teachers have responsibility for the development of their subject throughout the school.
In addition to being in a tutor group each child will belong to a House. These four houses (Abbas, Causton, Degreys and Peacock) give opportunities for more children to participate in competitive sport through a system of inter-house matches. They are also used to motivate high standards and excellence in academic work through the use of House Points and merit certificates.
