Despite many changes and challenges Coloma continues to grow and deliver excellence in education. Whilst academic results are outstanding, life at Coloma is about much more than success in the classroom. There is a wide range of extra-curricular and service related activities. These develop specific skills but equally importantly build up values and friendships that girls leaving Coloma take with them for the rest of their lives.Although in many ways Coloma is a formal and traditional school it equally does not stand still. Facilities are constantly being updated and teachers at the school are always looking for new and innovative ways of including technology within their lessons. They are proud of the Comprehensive intake and although results are comparable to many high performing shools nationally, what is important is that every girl fulfils her potential, works hard and does her best.
Curriculum
At Coloma the vision is to prepare every child so they may prosper in the constantly changing and demanding world in which we live. We recognise this requires us to have in place a curriculum that empowers them to achieve their maximum potential not just academically. It must also provide them with the necessary spiritual, moral, social and cultural skills and understanding they will need – our SMSC approach. For pupils to benefit fully from excellent teaching and resource provision it is vital that the school provides a safe environment not just in terms of health and safety best practice but also by providing an equal and fair chance to thrive and learn in an atmosphere of respect and dignity. We are committed to ensuring zero tolerance of bullying, harassment or prejudice of any kind in line with government regulations and with our ethos as a Catholic school. All girls are encouraged to take risks in their learning and be creative. We aim to create resilient and independent learners who are prepared to try, to fail at times and to learn and progress from trying something difficult. We pride ourselves that every classroom is a thriving environment for enjoyment and achievement. Guided by the teachings of the Gospels, we promote a community of love, service and prayer where each person’s worth is recognised, each person’s contribution is valued.
Extra Curriculum
An important part of life at Coloma is the focus on the provision of extracurricular activities which the girls are encouraged to take part in. As with any school these activities provide an important background and balance to academic studies, enabling students to gain life experiences which enrich and enable personal growth and development. Whether it’s getting involved with the charitable work through taking a role in the Charities week fundraising, travelling to Europe on our regular sport and music tours, attending camps as part of the CCF contingent, or simply going to Chess Club once a week, there is opportunity for everyone to seek out and find an activity which they enjoy. You’ll find more details on all our activities from the main menu to the left of this page.
