Friday Update - 13.06.2025

Miss McNamara's Message

We are so lucky to have such a buzzing, thriving school where I’m never short of things to write about each week! That’s all down to our supportive community, amazing staff, and brilliant children - who are all really 'up for it'. 

Here are just a few highlights from another wonderful week at Coppice Valley:

1. A Cheer for English!

This week, we received our report from the Red Kite Alliance, following a monitoring visit in May. The report described the work we have done with our English curriculum as being implemented by staff with a 'palpable sense of determination and drive'.  Amongst many celebrations, the advisor noted that there is 'much to applaud and celebrate at this wonderful school'. 

2. Buzzing with Creative Pride
Classes across the school have been engaged in all sorts of creative activities this week. Year 3 impressed us all with their stunning bee-themed artwork, showing real attention to detail and care. 

3. Outdoor Learning in Action
Sometimes when I walk around school, the classrooms are empty! This is because our teachers are taking learning outside. Year 4 have been taking their maths and English outdoors under our canopy, children have been learning to ride bikes and our Forest School is in action.

4. KS2 E-Safety Workshops
Years 4-6 had e-safety workshops which were tailored to their year group. The workshop was aimed at empowering our pupils to assess their own online activity, determine if they are using their time online productively and equip them with the tools needed for healthy, online lifestyles. 

I know many of you follow us on social media already to see our updates through the week. Please do share our Facebook and Instagram pages with friends and family. We love showcasing all the fantastic things happening at Coppice Valley, and our social media gets lots of attention. The more interest we generate, the more support we build for our school.

Jewellery and Valuables in School – Important Reminder

We would like to remind all parents and carers of our school’s policy regarding jewellery and valuables to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all pupils.

Jewellery should not be worn in school. This is to prevent potential injury to the wearer or others, especially during physical activities such as PE and playtime. This includes smart watches, which are not permitted for safeguarding reasons.

Please see the guidance here on our website - Coppice Valley Primary School - Red Kite Learning Trust - Uniform & Appearance

⭐ Attendance ⭐

Each week, we’ll be sharing the attendance percentage for every class to celebrate great attendance and highlight the importance of being in school every day—because every lesson counts in building strong foundations for learning and success!
