Coseley School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Coseley School and Sports College (also known as Coseley High School) is a secondary school in Coseley, West Midlands, England. The school has specialist Sports 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.

Rumours circulated in the local press in March 2008 that the Coseley School was under the threat of closure "within the next ten years" as a result of falling pupil numbers, but these rumours have been denied by the local council.^{[citation needed]}
