You have discovered a wonderful opportunity to join a great school known for its innovation, energy, and community spirit. Are you looking for a school that offers exceptional education and opportunities? Look no further!

• At our school, we believe that a healthy and happy school environment is key to success. That’s why we offer an extensive pastoral and well-being system that supports not only our students but also our staff, parents, and the wider community. From mental and emotional well-being support to parenting courses, coffee mornings, networking events, staff wellbeing committees, and wellbeing days for staff, we have a range of services that are designed to help everyone thrive.
• We take pride in our highly regarded SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) provision. Our SEND specialists provide personalized training for every adult at Copperfield Academy to ensure that every child with SEND receives the best support possible.
• We have observed a positive trend in our statutory testing outcomes, thanks to our excellent CPD (Continuous Professional Development) programme. Our Teaching and Learning Assistant Headteacher carefully reviews the whole school CPD plan every week, considering teacher feedback and measuring its impact, to ensure our CPD programme continues to meet our school's needs. As per the EEF's (Education Endowment Foundation) advice, we focus on a limited number of key areas for the whole school CPD, which is planned to take place over multiple terms, allowing staff to learn, experiment and refine new practices over time. This CPD schedule is led by teachers and designed to encourage teachers to take risks when developing their pedagogy.
• We also provide each teacher with an individual CPD programme, led by the teachers themselves. Our Assistant Headteacher meets with each teacher once a term to discuss their individual CPD plan and provide guidance and coaching where necessary to ensure that all staff continue to grow and develop. We believe that learning is a lifelong process, and we encourage everyone in our school community to embrace this philosophy. (Even I am always seeking to learn something new!)

The above reasons might explain why our school attendance consistently exceeds the national average, why we are oversubscribed, and why our staff and parent satisfaction surveys and reviews are always so positive. There are many more reasons to be excited about joining Copperfield Academy, which makes it a great opportunity that you wouldn't want to miss. If you're keen to learn more about us, please get in touch with us today.
