Miss McNamara's Message

It has been another busy and successful week at Coppice Valley, with pupils representing our school brilliantly on two visits.

Our Year 3 and Year 6 pupils enjoyed their school trips this week (to York Art Gallery and Leeds City Museum) and they were a real credit to our school. Their behaviour, manners and attitudes throughout the visits were exceptional, and staff received many positive comments from members of the public. Year 6 particularly enjoyed travelling by train, which was an exciting part of the experience for many children and also helped to keep transport costs to a minimum. Well done to all of the pupils involved for representing Coppice Valley so positively.

This week we also completed recruitment for our new nursery provision. We are delighted to announce that supporting Miss Baxter in the nursery will be Ms Donbavand, a qualified teacher who is currently undertaking a Master's degree in Early Years Education. We are really proud to be able to share that our provision will be run by two fully qualified teachers.  We are also pleased to welcome Mrs Cook, who will join our EYFS team as a Teaching Assistant for three days per week, backfilling Miss Baxter's move to the nursery.

We are incredibly excited about both of these appointments and the expertise they will bring to our growing team. As we continue to expand our provision, it is wonderful to be able to attract such high-quality staff to Coppice Valley.

Nursery tours have now begun and the provision is already proving very popular. If you know anyone who may be interested in securing a place for their child, please encourage them to visit our website for further information and registration details.

Polite Reminder - Outstanding Balances

As we approach the end of the academic year, we kindly ask all families to check their accounts to ensure any outstanding balances are cleared. Please take a moment to log in and review:

• Arbor – for school meals and trips
• Enrolmy – for clubs and wraparound care

Clearing balances before the end of term helps us ensure a smooth transition into the new academic year and allows us to finalise our accounts. If you have any queries or need support accessing your accounts, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’re happy to help.
