The Coppice Primary School and Nursery

We are a large, three-form primary school where visitors regularly comment that, despite our size, we have managed to retain a small school family-friendly feel. We pride ourselves on knowing every child by name and as an individual.

Our grounds are extensive and our children are incredibly fortunate to have the space that they do. We have a large playground, field, Forest School area, a dedicated science lab (PhizLab) and a computing suite that has individual machines for a whole class of children. We also have two large indoor hall spaces so that all children can continue with physical activities throughout the year regardless of the weather. We pride ourselves on making sure that our school facilities, buildings and grounds are always very well-maintained and constantly updated so that our children have the very best physical environment, which we believe impacts greatly on the children’s well-being and progress.

We have an extremely well-embedded ‘Thrive’ social and emotional programme, which has a fantastic track record of enabling children to successfully overcome any social and emotional difficulties that they may have on entry or during their time at our school, enabling them to achieve well, both personally and academically.
