Welcome to Coppice Valley Primary School...

Coppice Valley is a unique and nurturing school, offering a calm and inspiring environment with extensive outdoor spaces including a large playing field, wildlife area, meadow, and our dedicated Forest School. These natural resources enrich learning and provide pupils with hands-on experiences that foster creativity, problem-solving, and a sense of responsibility for the world around them.

Our vision is to develop lifelong learners with a genuine love for learning, curiosity, and confidence. With nature on our doorstep, a rich curriculum, and a strong sense of community, Coppice Valley provides the ideal environment for children to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Friday Update - 28.11.2025

It has been another fabulous week at Coppice Valley! This week we took all our KS1 and KS2 pupils to the panto – oh yes we did! It was absolutely brilliant, and the children (and staff) were fantastic throughout, from leaving school to arriving back. It is wonderful that all our pupils get to enjoy this annual experience. One of our governors even drove past us on our walk and phoned school to say how smart everyone looked and how impressed she was! We have already booked next year’s panto – Sleeping Beauty.

Friday Update - 21.11.2025

This week, I have to give a massive thank you to our staff team. We have had very high levels of staff illness, which have left us incredibly stretched. At 6am on Wednesday, we were genuinely discussing whether we could keep the school open. Yet our staff pulled together brilliantly – supporting one another, covering for each other, tag-teaming and checking in – to ensure we continued to support all of our pupils and deliver high-quality learning with skeleton staffing. I am extremely proud to be part of such a team who, despite the challenges, keep smiling.

The Community Garden

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.
