The Community College Whitstable (usually known simply as CCW) is a community school in Whitstable, Kent, southeast England. It was established in 1952 as the Sir William Nottidge School and was known by this name until 1998. There are 844 students in the school aged 11 to 18.
History
In 1998, the name Sir William Nottidge was dropped and the school was relaunched as the Community College Whitstable along with the introduction of a new badge and re-introduction of the house system.[1]
School structure
The house system was established in 1952, when there were four houses: Coppens, Minters, Torrith and Sedberry, each of which had selected house prefects. The house colours were: red for Coppens, yellow for Minters, blue for Torrith and green for Sedberry.[2]
Lower school
The lower school (Years 7-11) is 699 students strong.[3]
Curriculum
The school year runs from September to July, split across three terms: the autumn term (September to December), spring term (January to April) and the summer term (April to July). Students receive two weeks off for Christmas and Easter, a six-week summer break, and three "half term" breaks.
