ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
We are proud of our students' academic achievements. We want them to be good learners, with enquiring minds, so that they can make a positive contribution to society. We listen to what they have to say and the various Student Councils and many other student voice opportunities play a full and active role in the life of the school. Every classroom has a thought wall where students can give feedback to their teachers when ever they wish. We think this is a unique approach which genuinely encourages students to let the school know what they think. We always want to do even better.
COPLESTON IS A HEALTHY SCHOOL
Students are encouraged to adopt a healthy life-style. Students achieve their best when they play a full and active part in school life and to this end learning is supported by an impressive range of activities, both within school and extra curricular. We want every student to feel valued and strive for success, not only for themselves but for the school as a whole.
It is important for students to develop a concept of mutual respect, to communicate effectively and to work effectively as part of a team. Our students enjoy taking responsibilities for themselves and they relish the opportunities they are given to help and support each other.
