Great teamwork today from our football team! Great work everyone!


Our teams were brilliant! Excellent teamwork and great sportsmanship was demonstrated! Well done everyone!

Our Athletics Team
The children worked brilliantly together to represent our school. They took part in standing long jump, chest pass, speed bounce and then even had bags of energy left for the different relays they raced in. They made us super proud because they never gave up and we were even awarded a Determination Award.
Our Handball Teams
We took two teams to the Handball competition tonight and wow they did us proud! We were placed 3rd and 6th in the competition. The children showed great sportsmanship and were seen shaking hands with the other teams at the end of the matches.
Copthorne were awarded the Gold Award and named the Champion Infant School in the Amber Valley area. This award recognises schools who have provided the most competitive opportunities for their students to take part in sport against other schools.
