Copleston O14 Swimming Team competed in the Grand Finals of the Suffolk Swimming League yesterday. The racing was fast & furious; each swimmer gave it everything - with a mix of finishing positions, including a fabulous first! We finished runners up overall - incredible achievement in the U18 age-group (this team is Yr10&11). Great job! Mrs Winterburn #Swimming #CoplestonPE #SportingSuccess

Daniel left sixth form last year to join the Royal Navy and his family tells us he has just qualified as a UW (Underwater Warfare Specialist) and joined his 1st ship. He's on deployment over Christmas but was home recently for the Remembrance service at Christchurch park. It is so inspiring for our students to hear about the success of our alumni. We'd love to hear what others are doing! (Photo by family) #CoplestonAlumni #BeAmbitious

We have some incredibly talented dancers and performers at Copleston. Bailey-Kascia in Year 9 recently competed in the SJ Promotions Performing Arts Festival, her first competition since changing choreographers/teams in the summer. Her results were incredible, with 1st place in an impressive number of categories! Well done! (Photos provided by parent). #Dance #PerformingArts #Copleston

Congratulations to Abbie, one of our A level students, who was Copleston's winner of the Ipswich Art Society's Anna Airy Award and saw her work exhibited at The Hold in Ipswich. An incredible piece of work from a very talented student! @ipartsoc #TheHold #Ipswich #SixthForm #BeAmbitious #ALevels

Our PE students need an understanding of the structures within the heart. The opportunity to carry out a heart dissection made this much more visual and practical. In 2022, 31% of our students grades in A level PE were either A* or A and we offer a huge number of sporting opportunities for all students! #ALevels #SixthForm

We love hearing about the fantastic things our students do outside school. This week, we want to introduce Lilly in Year 7. With her family, Lilly is regularly involved in fundraising events for SERV, the Bloodrunners charity. She runs the teddy tombola & other activities and speaks to the public about the charity. What a superstar! Please give this post a like to encourage Lilly! (Photos provided by family)

Some more fantastic sporting news! Our U15 girls won their Futsal tournament this week and are now through to the next round. They played Felixstowe, Claydon and Ipswich Academy. A huge well done to all the players! #Futsal #PE

Copleston's U14 Swim Team competed in the qualifying round of the South Suffolk Swimming League. Every swimmer gave it everything, amongst some very quick turn-arounds in races, and against some very strong competition. The team finished in a respectable 8th position and should be proud of their effort. High fives all-round from Mrs Winterburn!

Stunning performances from our students in Romeo and Juliet at the Shakespeare Schools Festival at Dance East yesterday. They worked superbly as a team and the feedback was very positive. Well done to all involved! #Drama #Shakespeare
