We were delighted to welcome Ian Tucker into school recently. During his visit, he spent time talking with leaders, exploring the school and getting a real sense of daily life at Coppice Valley. He was particularly impressed by the calm and purposeful learning environment, the quality of displays, the appearance of the school and the high level of pupil engagement. He also commented on the warmth, professionalism and commitment shown by staff across the school. Our outdoor grounds also sparked interest, with clear enthusiasm to see even more of how these spaces support learning and enrichment. As he prepares to formally begin his role later this month, he shared how excited he is to be working alongside staff with such high expectations and ambition. We are proud of the positive impression our pupils, staff and environment made.

It has been another fantastic week at school, and I would like to start by celebrating the brilliant achievement of our girls’ football team. They represented the school superbly at their tournament yesterday, showing teamwork, resilience and determination. Coming second overall was a great achievement and we are incredibly proud of them.

We love working with our local community, here at Coppice Valley. We welcomed the help and advice of Horticap in helping us to make this amazing community garden. Our local community is welcome to use the growing beds and take food from it, after school hours, at weekends and in the holidays.
At Coppice Valley, we recognise that good mental health is as important as good physical health. Our pupils are taught self-care techniques, including recognising and managing emotions, exercise, relaxation and how to build relationships through a rich and varied curriculum.
Our Before and After School (BAS) care is run by our own Coppice Valley teaching assistants and staff, just for pupils at Coppice Valley School. Having our own staff run our wrap-around care means we can ensure the highest standards and that it functions to the same ethos and values as our school.
Our vision is to create learners for life - children who are enthused with a love for learning. This all begins in the haven of nature we have on our doorstep, here at Coppice Valley.
