City of Peterborough Academy Open Evening: A Night to Remember!

City of Peterborough Academy was buzzing with excitement last week as we welcomed over 100 families to our highly anticipated Year 5/6 Open Evening.

The event was a wonderful opportunity for prospective students and their families to experience first-hand the vibrant, inclusive, and inspiring environment that makes our academy so special.

From the moment guests arrived, they were greeted by our friendly student ambassadors, who guided families through a variety of engaging activities and interactive displays across the school. Classrooms were alive with demonstrations, hands-on experiments, and creative showcases, allowing visitors to explore the breadth of our curriculum and meet the dedicated staff who bring learning to life every day.

One of the standout attractions of the evening was the Humanities Department’s historical photo booth. This creative space invited students, staff, and visitors to dress up in period costumes and pose for photos, offering a fun and memorable way to step back in time. The laughter and excitement around the booth made it a real highlight, and the photos captured will be treasured by all who took part.

Another popular feature was the opportunity to sample our school menu, thoughtfully prepared by our talented catering team. Families enjoyed tasting a selection of delicious dishes, giving them a real flavour of the healthy and varied meals available to students each day. The positive feedback from parents and children alike was a testament to the hard work and creativity of our catering staff.

Throughout the evening, the energy was palpable. Parents commented on the welcoming atmosphere, the enthusiasm of our staff and students, and the wide range of opportunities available at CoPA. Many families expressed how impressed they were by the academy’s commitment to nurturing not only academic achievement but also personal growth, creativity, and community spirit.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to making the evening such a resounding success. Your interest and support mean so much to us, and we are proud to share the unique opportunities and supportive environment that define City of Peterborough Academy.

As we look ahead, we are excited to welcome the next generation of learners to our community. Thank you once again to all who joined us. We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did!

The future is bright at City of Peterborough Academy!
