Isle Education Trust

CEO's Message

As we rapidly head to the end of term, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all parents, staff and students for their support this year. As a Trust we are working hard to make sure that all of our children, as well as engaging in excellent lessons and making great progress, also have opportunities to develop in the fullest and widest sense. The festive season affords many such opportunities, from carol concerts, to hosting community parties for senior residents, and trips to the pantomime. I hope that your child has enjoyed making some of these special memories with us and will remember them for a long time to come.

How ever you spend your time over this holiday period, I hope it includes making memories, carrying on existing traditions, and even starting new ones. We sometimes forget that memories will last longer than any gift we can give.

Have a fantastic Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Principal's Update

As the songs goes...It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Welcome to the Coritani Autumn Term Newsletter

We'd like to start with a mention back in time to the summer holidays, just to celebrate how fantastic our Year 6 and Year 11 learners performed in their exams this year. This years result were exceptional and we are really proud of our leaners who have gone on to new schools and colleges and know that they take with them a Coritani Mindset that is helping them continue this success every single day.

Back at Coritani it has been the usual very busy autumn term and you can read what we have been up to in the newsletter below. We had a really successful visit from OFSTED in November that again went on to show just how fantastic our learners and staff are.

I would like to end by thanking every one of our learners, staff and parents for all your hard work this year. As we enter the Christmas break, remember to stay safe (and warm) and continue to inspire excellence in all those around you. Merry Christmas, have a fantastic new year and we will see you all again for 2024 starting on Monday the 8th January.
