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.

I always try to keep communication with families as digestible and succinct as possible, recognising that everyone is balancing busy family lives, work commitments and the many messages that come our way each day. However, I would ask that you take a few moments to read the two letters shared today, alongside this newsletter regarding mobile phones and social media. The social media letter, in particular, affects every member of our school community and is a shared responsibility. My hope is that we can continue to take a balanced and common-sense approach, allowing families to capture those precious primary school memories whilst also respecting the privacy, wishes and safeguarding needs of others. Thank you for taking the time to read both letters and for your continued support.

It has been another busy and successful week at Coppice Valley, with pupils representing our school brilliantly on two visits. Our Year 3 and Year 6 pupils enjoyed their school trips this week (to York Art Gallery and Leeds City Museum) and they were a real credit to our school. Their behaviour, manners and attitudes throughout the visits were exceptional, and staff received many positive comments from members of the public. Year 6 particularly enjoyed travelling by train, which was an exciting part of the experience for many children and also helped to keep transport costs to a minimum. Well done to all of the pupils involved for representing Coppice Valley so positively.

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.

Our values make us who we are and help us to stay focused on what we do and how we do it. After consulting our community, we have decided that our love for learning, seeking out new challenges, showing courage when learning is hard and our commitment to kindness is reflected in the values, Brave, Curious and Kind.
