Friday Update - 17.07.2026 - Happy Summer!

Posted 17th July 2026

Miss McNamara's Message

What a year it has been! As we reach the final day of term, I want to say a huge thank you to our children, families and staff for everything you have brought to Coppice Valley this year. There has been so much to celebrate, and I am incredibly proud of our school community.

A particularly big message must go to our wonderful Year 6 pupils. You have each made your mark on Coppice Valley, and we are so proud of the young people you have become. As you move on to secondary school, remember to be brave when things feel new, be kind to yourselves and others, and stay curious about everything still to come. We will miss you, but we know you are ready for your next adventure. Please come back and tell us how you are getting on!

To everyone returning in September, enjoy a well-earned summer break. Rest, have fun, make memories and hopefully enjoy plenty of sunshine. We cannot wait to welcome you back for another exciting year - including the opening of Little Ferns Pre School!

Message from Tessa! 

I want to wish all the families and school staff a lovely  summer holiday  which starts on friday afternoon  , and i may see you all in September when school re-opens .

To all the year six pupils good luck in your new adventures in secondary /high school and beyond.

E-Safety - A Guide to Parental Controls

This guide will help you set up parental controls and adjust privacy settings to provide your child with a safer online environment. Parental controls can help to protect your child from seeing something that they shouldn’t — although it is important to emphasise that no system is effective all of the time, so it is important to engage with your child and talk to them about their online life regularly.
