Coundon Court is an all inclusive Academy in Coundon, Coventry, England. The Headteacher is Andrew Clay.
Coundon Court is a much bigger school than average with approximately 1,750 students on roll (compared to a national average of 986 students) of which approximately 350 are in the sixth form. It is an 11–18, fully comprehensive school serving students from areas surrounding and including the centre of Coventry. The school became an Academy in April 2012 retaining the name and staff of the successful predecessor school.
There is also an Early Years provision on site with 60-day care and pre-school places. Coundon Court is located in the northwestern suburbs of Coventry, adjacent to the open countryside of the Coundon Wedge.
The Old House was originally George Singer (1847–1909) home, who had the mansion built in 1891. The school opened on the site in 1953 as an all girls comprehensive school.
Coundon Court has a number of key characteristics and achievements
The 1994 OFSTED report commented that they were "a caring community" within which "the feeling of welcome and care is in evidence everywhere". A second OFSTED report in 1998 highlighted their progress in standards of achievement "which are significantly better than the average achieved nationally". In 2008 and again in 2009 Ofsted commented on the outstanding leadership of the school and the excellent academic standards of students.
In 2014 Ofsted rated the Academy as 'Requires improvement'
The school has a highly valued community football team – Coundon Court F.C. founded in 2002, Coventry's only FA charter standard development club.
