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.
