Why uniform and smartness matters to us

Following our uniform rules is important for the health, safety and development of your child, while they are in our care. Sensible clothing, jewellery and appearance choices ensure your child has a safe and successful day at school. 

Our school uniform can be purchased at Rawcliffes or at Emblazon.

Coppice is passionate about sustainability and reducing waste. We have pre-loved uniform that has very kindly been donated by our parents in the Community Hub. This uniform is free for our parents to take should they wish to, please help yourself.
