Copplestone is a vibrant and happy and inclusive school where every child matters and every moment counts.  In partnership with parents, we set high expectations, encouraging both a sense of individual responsibility and community spirit.

The children are at the very heart of our school, and we hope that as you view our website you will see that all our efforts are directed towards providing them with a safe, secure and happy learning environment where every individual can develop self-confidence and acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to enable them to become caring, well-informed citizens.  Our talented and dedicated staff team provide the children with challenging and memorable learning experiences in an engaging environment, where individual wellbeing is at the heart of all we do. We make sure our curriculum celebrates our local area but also teaches about the world beyond Copplestone and Devon. We encourage a love of learning and for children to develop their skills, talents and passions.

Our six values are woven into all aspects of school life: Confidence, Creativity, Curiosity, Caring, Community and Challenge.

Opportunities for leadership and responsibility provide children with a strong sense of independence and maturity as they move through school.  Outdoor learning in our Forest School builds confidence and instils a strong sense of environmental and social awareness, equipping children with the resilience they need for life beyond school.

We are also committed to the training and development of our staff, encouraging and supporting career development.  We are proud to be a partner with Exeter University and work alongside them to train and support PGCE trainees enter the profession.

This website offers a flavour of what we do, but I hope that you will visit and see us in action. We warmly welcome prospective families to visit our school.
