As part of STEM enrichment program, a group of year 9 and year 8 students travelled to Bletchley Park to discover the incredible achievements of Britain’s WW2 codebreakers, in the place where it happened.  They all enjoyed the day trip, exploring the mansion and all the different code breaking huts, learning the real history behind WW2 and what was achieved by the code breakers.  

Copthall students as always, were a credit to our school.  They were just amazing.
