About Copper Valley Junior Academy
Copper Valley Junior Academy stands on ground was previously known as ‘Gunnislake Primary Academy’. During COVID, both Delaware and Gunnislake Academies merged, to form a hub. This worked well due to both schools being part of Bridge Schools Trust and overseen by the same Headteacher and Local Governing Body. As COVID began to diminish, we re-configured our Academies. Working alongside the DfE and local community, we have been operating with infants plus years 3 and 4 on one site (previously known as Delaware) and years 5 and 6 on another site (Gunnislake). With improved outcomes and a thirst for maintaining this arrangement, Copper Valley emerged in Spring/Summer 2024. We thank our wonderful community for their involvement and support with this process, including choosing the name, based on the area being a world leader in copper mining in the 1800s.
At Copper Valley we work, in partnership with parents and carers, to offer pupils a high standard of education which will enable each child to reach their full potential. We aim to nurture the children in our care, providing them with a safe environment and stimulating learning opportunities where they can begin their journey of life-long learning.
We value each and every child as a unique, special individual. We nurture their talents and interests, §and each member of staff prides themselves on the warm, respectful relationships they have with the children. We only have three rules at Copper Valley. Be kind. Be focused. Be respectful. What more do you need to be an amazing learner and human being!
Our learning environments are spacious and interactive. Pupils at Copper Valley are proud to share their learning with all stakeholders. We pride ourselves on the friendly happy atmosphere that we have created.
We begin the learning journey at Copper Valley with children from the age of two who attend our beautiful nursery in Drakewalls. When pupils reach Year 5, they transition to our Upper Key Stage 2 base which is located further down the valley in Gunnislake village. This move gives pupils a calm, highly focused end to their Primary education and valuable experience of transition before they move on to Key Stage 3!
We are proud to have been a member of the Bridge Trust family of schools since December 2015 and actively embrace the Trust’s values and motto of our Academies being ‘Stronger Together’.
Should you wish to arrange a visit to see personally what we can offer you and your children then please do not hesitate to call either school base to arrange a visit, you are sure to receive a warm welcome.
