Welcome
Visitors often comment that Copleston is a very special place. Our wonderful community of students and staff are at the heart of this. There is no typical Copleston student. We have our own aspirations and follow our own paths, but we all work to embrace the Copleston values of being respectful, resilient, compassionate, aspirational and resourceful. We dream big dreams and we aim high, both academically and in our passions and pursuits, but we also celebrate the smaller personal achievements and acts of kindness that help us find our place in the world.

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

- "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
