Miss McNamara's Message

What another great week it has been at Coppice Valley, with Christmas now in full swing across school. Our craft afternoons have been taking place and it has been wonderful to see so many parents joining us in the hall, sharing in the festive creativity and joy. Thank you for taking the time to come in.

A special thank you must go to our brilliant site manager, Mr Falconar, for all his hard work getting the decorations up in time for our light switch-on. The school looks magical! We are now serving hot chocolate by the gallon as the festive excitement continues to build, and as always, the children are loving it!

A huge thank you as well to parents and friends of Coppice for sending in books from our Amazon Wishlist. These donations are greatly appreciated. The children are always excited to see new books arriving on our shelves – it really does make a difference.

Next week promises to be just as special, with our Nativity performances, more Christmas craft afternoons, and of course Christmas Dinner Day. 

Wishing you all a festive weekend and we would love to see pictures of your trees on our social media post of teacher trees!

Last call for flu vaccines 

Flu season is here, and getting your child vaccinated is one of the best ways to keep them healthy and in school. A flu jab not only helps protect your child from illness, but also means less time off school for them and less time off work for parents and carers. Flu vaccination also helps protect vulnerable friends and family by reducing the spread of the virus.

 If your child missed their vaccination at school, catch up clinics are now available at:

 

• 19/12/2025      3.30pm - 5.30pm         Selby Library - YO8 4EQ
• 17/12/2025      3.30pm - 5.30pm         Hob Moor Children's centre
• 12/12/2025      16.00pm-17.30pm       Knaresorough Wellbeing Hub, 79 Stockwell Avenue, HG5 0LG
• 11/12/2025      16.00pm-17.30pm       Skipton Town Hall, BD23 1AH

 IT’S QUICK & IT’S FREE

Call/email your local office to book - details found in the attached posters. (Harrogate, Thirsk, Scarborough)

Both the nasal vaccine (no needles, contains gelatine) or an injection (pork-free, gelatine free) are available.
