Friday Update - 10.10.2025

Miss McNamara's Message

It’s been another action-packed week at Coppice Valley! We’ve welcomed visitors and carried out writing learning walks to see writing across the school. Leaders have been really impressed with the quality and quantity of work our pupils are producing, even at this early point in the year.

We also enjoyed some incredible music workshops on Monday, followed by a fantastic hip-hop battle for our Year 5 pupils — what an experience! Our new music garden continues to be a big hit and is adding a wonderful buzz to playtimes.

Finally, an exciting update on our nursery project - works are set to begin before we break up for Christmas. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as plans progress.

New School Menu Launch – Starting After Half Term

We’re excited to introduce a refreshed school menu following the half-term break, beginning with Week 2 of our three-week cycle. Working closely with our kitchen team and catering suppliers, Hutchison Catering and Impact Food Group, we’ve developed a menu that provides nutritionally balanced meals to support pupil wellbeing and learning.

To ensure the menu meets the needs and preferences of our school community, we’ll be gathering feedback from both parents and pupils after the first full rotation. This feedback will help us evaluate the menu and make any necessary adjustments to ensure we’re offering meals that are both healthy and enjoyable for the remainder of the cycle, which runs until Easter 2026.

Thank you for your continued support — we look forward to hearing your thoughts.

The new menu is available on our website. Please note that it may be subject to change.

🌰 Nut-Free School Reminder 🌰

We’d like to remind all families that our school is a nut-free environment to help keep all children safe, especially those with severe allergies. This means no nuts or nut products should be brought into school — including popular items like Nutella, peanut butter, cereal bars containing nuts, and baked goods with nut ingredients.

Please check labels carefully when preparing snacks and lunches. Even trace amounts of nuts can pose a serious risk to some pupils.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school safe for everyone.
