Cleeve School is an academy school and Leadership Partner School. It was formerly a comprehensive school and is located in the village of Bishop's Cleeve, Gloucestershire, England. Headteacher Alwyn Richards[1] leads the senior management team at the approximately 1,600-pupil school. The school offers GCSEs for ages 11 to 16, and A-Levels/BTECs for students wishing to go to the sixth form at ages 16 to 18.
Sports and activities
The school runs activities for the students including self-defence lessons and afterschool clubs such as football, rugby and cricket. The school's astronomy club acquired a refractor telescope which was donated by the Society for Popular Astronomy as part of the Telescopes For Schools project.
Every summer, the school has a Inter College Sports Day for each of the five colleges - Shackleton, Rowling, Holmes, Nightingale and Attenborough.
Buildings
Construction of the new building for the science, IT and music departments was completed in 2008. The old science block has also been restored.
The new Sixth Form Development will open for Year 12 and Year 13 students in September 2018. This £5 million development will serve as the school's new "Sixth Form Centre of Excellence", while the refurbished sixth form will be used as a new Year 11 centre. This facility will provide for over 320 Sixth Form Students and comprises a lecture theatre, seminar rooms, quiet study areas, a common room, exhibition space and a small cafe area.
