History

Commonweal School was founded in 1927 as a Grammar School. In 1965 it became a Senior High School, taking pupils of all abilities aged 14 to 18. There was a second re-organisation in 1983 when Commonweal became a seven-form entry comprehensive school for pupils aged 11 to 16. There are approximately 1100 pupils on roll. It has been awarded the title; Performing Arts College.
