The Copley aims, produced and developed
by our staff are meant to be practical and constructive. They are aims to
be used. Our aims are referred to constantly in planning for our future.
They demonstrate our belief that a school should actively promote positive
moral values in everything it does.
We are now in our third year as a designated specialist college in
Maths and Computing. These two subjects are at the heart of success
in the curriculum - Maths skills being needed at all levels of
economy and society
and ICT, now the third basic skill. We are making innovative use of
ICT to enhance the quality of teaching and learning in ICT lessons
but also in all other subject across the curriculum and in every
classroom.
Our aims attempt to describe how life at
Copley should be lived by all the people who work here - children and
adults. This emphasis on the quality of everyday experience at Copley is
the necessary foundation for achievement - in public examinations and in
the development of responsible and active young people.
For the 21st Century, pupils must behave differently as
learners. We aim to support pupils in becoming independent learners -
and thinkers! In the coming year, we will be extending the development
of the school's Virtual Learning Environment and online teaching
materials with access for pupils at school and from home.The last year has seen exciting developments
including increased access to ICT for all through the extension of
wireless technology to all areas of the school and digital projectors
and interactive whiteboards in every classroom.
The redevelopment of Copley Recreation Centre facilities
has also added to Copley pupils'
experience, now providing first-class sports facilities. The old all-weather pitch has now become four modern
games courts which will be used by our pupils during the school day.
Please study our aims carefully -
At Copley we believe
in:
The right of everyone to
be happy.
The need for everyone to
respect each other.
The need for everyone to
have self-respect.
The right of everyone to
learn and develop.
The need for everyone to
help each other.
We try hard to put them
in to practice.
Visitors often comment on the
purposeful atmosphere of the school and praise the high standards of
discipline and on how the pupils are polite and friendly. They notice on
how well the school is cared for by the school community. We are a safe
and secure school and new pupils get to know their way around quickly
and easily. All pupils are provided with a
personal locker to keep their possessions safe. They have choices before
school, at break time and during lunchtime to use the school building or
playground. A high level of staff supervision is evident throughout the
school day with senior staff very prominent. This is supported by a
comprehensive CCTV system in the school and the playground.
