- Coseley School
The Coseley School and Sports College (also known as Coseley High School) is a
secondary school inCoseley , West Midlands, England. The school has specialistSports College status. It is situated in Ivyhouse Lane, just north of Coseley town centre. It was opened in 1968 to partly replace a nearby smaller secondary school,Mount Pleasant Senior School (the buildings of which have housed Dudley MBC's local records office since 1992). Mount Pleasant remained open until 1974, when the remaining pupils were moved to the Coseley School.Pupils at Coseley School are mostly from Hurst Hill, Manor, Wallbrook and Christ Church primary schools. A smaller number of pupils are from schools including Bramford, Hill Avenue, Lanesfield and Foxyards.
When the school opened, it provided education to pupils aged 11 to 16 years, but the starting age was increased to 12 in 1972 as part of a borough-wide introduction of middle schools, only to fall back to 11 in 1990 - the same year that the school took in some of the pupils and staff from the closing
Mons Hill School on the nearbyWren's Nest estate inDudley .External links
