What students and staff think of our school

  • “I think what makes Copleston so special is the unique teaching style and approach, where teachers get to know their students and assist them based on their own personal strengths and weaknesses, not just teaching the class as a collective. The staff are always really positive and try to uplift both the student's grades and spirits, encouraging us to strive further and achieve more. The school also focuses on nurturing students and helping to make us the best versions of ourselves we can be, training us to be polite, resilient, understanding individuals that can contribute more in society.” - Year 12 student
  • “The community at Copleston makes it a really special place, all the staff are so supportive and the school provides lots of opportunities that allow you to get closer to your peers.” – Year 12 student
  • "When I first joined this school, all of the staff were so friendly and I felt like I was a part of this school immediately, and making a lot of new friends as well." Year 7 student
  • "The school has really great teachers and staff and is overall an amazing learning environment." Year 7 student
  • "I never see anyone unhappy at Copleston. Everyone is always absorbed in their lessons and having fun at break and lunch. We always learn something new in our lessons and we never get bored. Plus if we ever struggle in a lesson, there is plenty of help given."  Alfie, Year 7
  • "I have been teaching at Copleston for 8 years and I firmly believe you could not find a more supportive school to work at. Everyone here wants the best outcomes for our students and we work collaboratively every single day to achieve this. " - Copleston Staff
  • "I love the 'family feel' about the whole school - a real feeling of community which is evident from the moment you walk into the school to the time you walk out again." - Copleston Staff

We are looking to hold a second hand uniform sale on Monday 9th December 2024 between 9am-4pm, where you can purchase from Reception donated, gently-used uniform items at a fraction of the original price, with funds from sales going to a local charity ‘Families in Need’ (FIND) in Ipswich.

Families will need to pay cash on the day for the items purchased.

Items available are:

  • Sweatshirts
  • Sports Hoodies
  • Sports Polo Shirts
  • Sports Shorts
  • Sports Joggers
  • Coats

 

Donations

In order for this system to run effectively, we are on the lookout for donations of second-hand uniform items.  If you wish to donate any uniform or sports kit, please bring them to the school office and they will be gratefully received.
