Cotwall End Primary School is a primary school for boys and girls in Sedgley, West Midlands, England. There are approximately 420 pupils on the school roll. The school's head teacher is Mrs Nicole Anderton.HistoryCotwall End was built by Sedgley Urban District Council and opened on 30 April 1962, as a 5-7 infant and 7-11 junior school, with a nursery for children under 5 opening later in the 1960s.In 1970/71, an infant school building was added on the site (being officially opened in April 1971), but reorganisation in September 1972 saw the infant school become a first school and the junior school a middle school, with children now transferring to secondary school at the age of 12 instead of 11.The two schools merged in 1981 to form a single primary school. The school had a nursery unit which was built during the 1960s, but became part of the new middle school in 1972.When the secondary transfer age was reverted to 11 in September 1990, the building was taken over by a local playgroup. The playgroup disbanded in December 2000 and the building was demolished the following year.Mr Ken Thomas was appointed head teacher in January 1978 and remained in his post until he retired in April 2003.Six teachers who worked under Mr Thomas went on to be head teachers at other schools; these were deputy head teachers Eric Tibble, David Cox, Phillip Everington, Adrian Slack and Leonard Hazelhurst, as well as class teacher Ann Mason.The nursery unit was demolished in April 2001, four months after the local playgroup closed. This was due in part to an education authority reorganisation and to the poor state of the buildings.
