Background:
The Commonweal School was founded in 1927 as a Grammar School, and is therefore one of the oldest secondary establishments in the area. The school aims to provide a positive and supportive climate during these important years by fostering a sense of community and mutual respect. There was a second re-organisation in 1983 when Commonweal became a seven-form-entry comprehensive school for pupils aged 11 to 16. Various sporting activities are offered and house competitions are organised for many of them. Teams also compete against those from other schools and students from The Commonweal have gained representation in various sports at district, county and national level. The school creates caring and supportive community which values relationships, equal opportunities, confidence and self-esteem, and is supported by staff.
