What we do and News Our vision is 'to empower our learners to achieve their best outcomes through high quality education, in preparation for life. Here we celebrate being unique individuals and develop unearthed potential'. Like corn, we thrive when the sun shines, but we need the rain to grow.
We respect everyone as individuals and recognise they may have and continue to experience challenges and adversity. Our Copper values set out the behaviours and approaches to which we strive for our school community in together achieving our vision. Our Copper Culture forms the basis of the schools' rewards and behaviour policy and are incorporated in our school day to day.
We take every opportunity to celebrate where our Copper Cultures are being demonstrated well, including through assemblies and feedback to families. Our learners raised money through a car wash which they chose to donate to the local donkey sanctuary, Tamar Valley Donkey Sanctuary.
We organised a school trip for all of our learners to visit the park, where we handed over the donations. Our learners loved seeing the animals and enjoying the play facilities.
