Welcome from the Executive Headteacher

Cockburn School provides an excellent environment for children to develop as learners and to grow as individuals. In a world which places ever greater demands on young people, it is vitally important that the schools of the 21st Century provide a broad and rich education to prepare students for the challenges they will face in their lives. We are dedicated to blending academic excellence with a richness of opportunity beyond the classroom.

The Year 9 boys successfully made it through to the next round of the cup by winning 2-1 in a great, competitive match. The boys made a great start with Jeton converting a brilliant through ball by Kirubel to put the team 1-0 up. The team showed great resilience and determination to keep going after conceding, and with 5 minutes left, Noah scored a fantastic free kick to put the boys in the lead. Some great defending and saves from the goalkeeper allowed the boys to advance to the next round. Well done! Man of the match: Jeton.
