A Warm Welcome from the Principal - Andy Green

It is my pleasure as the Principal of Copleston High School to welcome you to our website. I hope that you find all the information you are looking for. We are a dynamic and successful 11-18 school serving the Ipswich community. We have students of all abilities and from a wide variety of backgrounds, all of whom contribute to the richness and diversity of our school population.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum has been described by Ofsted as outstanding and we are confident that they would use this word again. We provide our students with a curriculum which is broad, balanced and relevant to every one of our learners. Our curriculum is flexible enough to allow individual students to have their own bespoke programmes of study so that they can make as much progress as possible.

Talented chemists in Yrs 9-11 recently answered qus set by Royal Society of Chemistry in the first round of their annual 'Top of the Bench' competition. Their great answers gave the team a high enough score to go through to the next round, a day of practical challenges at the University of East Anglia. Well done to them and good luck with the next stage!
