where do I begin?

I used to actually go here, I’ll drop my name so it’s a lot more realising when your best students realise this school was terrible.

I’m Jimmy Priestley, I’m currently in Year 9 and when I was here, oh my god it was terrible…

Everything wrong with this school:
– Had terrible ofsted ratings until Mr Wood left
– Fairly poor facilities, I feel like they didn’t clean toilets.
– Teachers, never liked them
– The school has a massive obsession with four-square, probably the least sporty game on Earth.
– Teachers come in and out
– Kindof unsafe? I’ve seen lots of trees that are climbable and buildings which are pretty old (especially in the Nursery area)

HOWEVER,
I will have to say that this school may be completely different after lots of bad staff left, and this statement is only relevant from mid 2020 and before.

From a year six that is in this school, I dont think there is any thing wrong with it. After the head teacher change we had, every thing in the school has gotten 10x better. Every thing is fun in lessons, and the teachers are fantastic at helping you with things that you are struggling with. The younger years have the best time they could possibly want and get correct catering from all of the adults. I would highly recommend sending your child to this school. In older years there are a bunch of lovely people that you could talk too if you need advice or help with any dilemmas you have.

My children have been studying at this school for two years. I am grateful to all the members of the copperfield Academy for welcome my two children, I want to say that I appreciate all your support for me while im down.Specialy to Mrs Lourine thank you for company and support and concern.
From teachers and members they’re so lovely and supportive.

There seems to be a few negative reviews, I’d imagine these are from a few years back when the school was quite honestly bad or just disgruntled parents who have been told they need to buckle up..

Since the headmaster changed last year (June 2019) to Mr Simon Wood there have been some drastic and noticeable changes, and, things have steadily improved. I’m not talking Demon Headmaster kicking people into touch and ruling with an iron fist, but instead clearly someone who is capable with good ideas on how to run the school and not afraid to stand his ground.

The school are doing an outstanding job of keeping my children as well as every child attending the school. Since my children have started they have come leaps and bounds and are thriving. Cannot thank Copperfield academy enough.
