Vision and Ethos
The Coppice Spring Academy Vision and Ethos
The Coppice Spring Academy provides young people with specialist education in order for them to progress and succeed in sustained education or employment. We do this through high-quality teaching and learning based on effective relationships that enable the achievement of life skills and meaningful qualifications.
We believe all children and young people have the capacity to learn regardless of their life situation. It is our role to unlock that learning potential. We apply our methodology to open the door to learning and to re-engage excluded or marginalized young people, whose attainment has fallen behind their peers in mainstream education.
We have high aspirations for our learners and aim to:
- close the attainment gap of our cohort compared to their peers,
- help them return to a mainstream school if this is in the best interests of the child, and
- equip them with the skills needed for their next steps.

Equality Objectives
In all Catch22 Academies, we welcome our duties under the Equality Act 2010 and aim to promote a positive and welcoming culture where discrimination is not tolerated. We believe that every individual has the right to be valued, respected and offered equal opportunities, access and treatment. This is regardless of race, colour, ethnic origin, nationality, sex, religion, gender, marital status, age, disability or sexuality. We try to promote equality and challenge discrimination and stereotyping to make our Academies truly inclusive and promote high achievement for all.
Under the Act, The Coppice Spring Academy is expected to comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED). This requires us to:
- eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimization,
- advance equality of opportunity between different groups, and
- foster good relations between different groups.
The Coppice Spring Academy’s Equality Objectives are:
- Ensure that all children gain the knowledge they need to prepare them for adult life, through a broad, balanced and personalised curriculum, including both academic and vocational learning experiences and qualifications.
- Narrow the achievement gap for children and young people, including children in care, by ensuring increased opportunities and improved outcomes.
- Help children to fulfil their full potential, by supporting families and focusing support on improving the lives of the most vulnerable children, including those who experience bullying or exclusion.
- To promote equality of opportunity by giving due regard to relevant legal duties as set out in the Equality Act 2010.
