Copley Academy is a rapidly improving school. Our December 2021 Ofsted report describes the “great strides” that leaders have made and praises the “high aspirations” for students and the “broad and ambitious” curriculum. Most importantly, the report also says that students are “happy and proud” to attend the Academy The Copley aims, produced and developed by our staff, are meant to be practical and constructive. They are aims to be used. Our aims are referred to constantly in planning for our future. They demonstrate our belief that a school should actively promote positive moral values in everything it does. The aims attempt to describe how life at Copley should be lived by all the people who work here - children and adults. This emphasis on the quality of everyday experience at Copley is the necessary foundation for achievement - in public examinations and in the development of responsible and active young people.
