Countesthorpe Community College

We are a 14 to 19 College serving the area of South Leicestershire and providing a high quality education for students in the local community and beyond. The College continues to be very popular and as years fill up, additional places are only allocated through appeal, or if parents move into the catchment area. We have approximately 800 students in Years 10 and 11 and over 300 in Post 16. As a wholly inclusive College we take students of all levels of ability and provide them with an appropriate personalised learning experience, helping all individuals to achieve their true potential. We are a very ambitious and extremely proud College, constantly seeking ways in which we can improve. We offer an excellent range of subjects at all examination levels to meet the needs of our students. Our examination results are excellent and continually improving. At GCSE our results have improved each year over the last seven years and at AS Level we have been in the top 25% of schools nationally for three out of the past four years. In recent years we have invested significantly in resources to support learning and to improve our College environment. We have a number of fully equipped ICT rooms, with some of the very latest technology. We have a state of the art theatre for Drama and Music productions in which all our major College events take place. Together with excellent sporting facilities we believe we have the resources needed for all to succeed. The atmosphere of the College is what really impresses visitors. We have a history of very positive relationships both within the College and with our local community, being a focal point for many local activities, events and adult learning programmes. If you have the opportunity to visit the College I am confident you will be impressed with what you see and experience. We are a 21st Century College with strong values, a positive ethos and excellent discipline.
