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.

Coppice Valley Primary School has launched a new environmental learning area, a dedicated natural space designed to support pupils in learning about the environment while actively enhancing biodiversity across the school grounds.

The week began with a staff INSET day, where we had the opportunity to trial our new pizza oven (well done to Mrs Brook!). We have also started nursery tours for families interested in our brand-new nursery, which opens in September, welcomed a film crew into school, and hosted the RKLT Education Board. It was a pleasure to welcome the Chairs and Vice Chairs of Governors from across the Trust, alongside members of the RKLT Senior Leadership Team, who visited Coppice to see our school in action and hear a presentation from myself about securing grant funding. As if that wasn't enough... this week we also hosted our very first Bushcraft Residential.

As we come to the end of another busy and successful half term, there has been so much to celebrate across school. From our pupils enjoying exciting learning opportunities in DT, to our Forest School sessions and celebrating our Brave, Kind, Curious Award winners to our top Dojo earners.

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.
