Welcome to Copmanthorpe Primary School—a truly special place to learn, grow, and thrive together.

As the new Headteacher of Copmanthorpe Primary School, I am thrilled to welcome you to our vibrant school community. It is a true privilege to lead such a dedicated and well-established team and to join a school that places children at the heart of everything it does.

At Copmanthorpe, we are committed to providing a broad and balanced education, ensuring that every child thrives academically while developing the skills, character, and values they need to succeed in life. Primary school is about so much more than just the curriculum—it’s about creating opportunities for children to explore their interests, build confidence, and grow as individuals.

I look forward to getting to know the families and wider community that make Copmanthorpe Primary so special. I hope our website and prospectus give you a glimpse of the rich, dynamic life at our school.

If you’d like to learn more, please don’t hesitate to contact our friendly school office team to arrange a tour. We’d love to welcome you and show you our school.

 Our Mission

Copmanthorpe Primary School provides a safe, inclusive, and enriching learning environment. We inspire our community with a love for learning, by fostering personal growth and resilience, nurturing creativity and enjoyment, and empowering all with the knowledge, skills and attributes for a successful and fulfilling future.

 Our Vision and Ethos

At Copmanthorpe we create a welcoming, nurturing environment where we inspire confident, resilient learners to thrive throughout their lives. 

Holistic child development is at the heart of what we do, with a focus on wellbeing, creativity and enjoyment. 

We teach children to have a growth mindset, aim high and provide every opportunity to overcome barriers and succeed.

We want our children to leave Copmanthorpe with a life-long love of learning to enable them to achieve and succeed now and in the future. Alongside this, we teach our children to uphold our core values with an emphasis on kindness, respect and celebrating differences (not just tolerating).

 We believe that education is a partnership between teachers, parents/carers, children and the wider community. Clear communication between these parties will ensure that we all understand the intentions and beliefs of others. We hope that our policy of openness and co-operation will contribute to making your child’s time at Copmanthorpe both happy and successful.

If you would like to find out more, please arrange to come and see the school in action. We would be delighted to meet you and feel sure you would enjoy your visit.
