  • CoPA win FFT National School Attendance Award!

    Published 08/10/26

    CoPA has been recognised and awarded for being in the TOP 10% MOST IMPROVED FOR ATTENDANCE IN THE COUNTRY! 

    This achievement belongs to our whole school community. Thank you to our dedicated Attendance and Pastoral Teams, our incredible staff and to our wonderful students, parents and carers for working together to improve attendance.  

    For us at CoPA, this is about so much more than a certificate.  When our students are in school they are safe, supported, learning and making progress giving them the very best chance to achieve and open doors for their next steps.

    Better attendance means more learning, more opportunities and brighter futures for our students. 

    We are incredibly proud of this achievement!

    Every lesson counts. Every day counts. Every student matters.

  • CoPA Alumni

    Published 02/10/26

    🎓✨ Look where CoPA can take you!

    There’s something particularly special about seeing former students return through our doors and hearing about everything they have achieved since leaving CoPA.

    At our recent Open Evening, one of our former students returned to talk to prospective students and families about their journey from CoPA, to an academic scholarship at The Peterborough School, and then on to Loughborough University to study Sport Management.

    They spoke warmly about the support they received from CoPA staff and how their time at the Academy helped shape their journey both personally and academically.

    We are so proud to see former students thriving, achieving their ambitions and returning to inspire those who are just beginning their own CoPA journey.

    Your journey starts here.
