As we reach the end of a very full and rewarding half term, I would like to take a moment to thank you all for your continued support of our school community. Today’s Values Assembly was a wonderful way to finish the term. It was a joy to celebrate the many ways our children have demonstrated our school values in action through kindness, perseverance, respect and responsibility; they are a credit to you and to our school.

We were delighted to welcome Ian Tucker into school recently. During his visit, he spent time talking with leaders, exploring the school and getting a real sense of daily life at Coppice Valley. He was particularly impressed by the calm and purposeful learning environment, the quality of displays, the appearance of the school and the high level of pupil engagement. He also commented on the warmth, professionalism and commitment shown by staff across the school. Our outdoor grounds also sparked interest, with clear enthusiasm to see even more of how these spaces support learning and enrichment. As he prepares to formally begin his role later this month, he shared how excited he is to be working alongside staff with such high expectations and ambition. We are proud of the positive impression our pupils, staff and environment made.

It has been another fantastic week at school, and I would like to start by celebrating the brilliant achievement of our girls’ football team. They represented the school superbly at their tournament yesterday, showing teamwork, resilience and determination. Coming second overall was a great achievement and we are incredibly proud of them.

After the intensity of last week, it has been lovely to enjoy a calmer week in school! It’s given everyone the chance to catch their breath, refocus on the day-to-day joy of school life, and spend time doing what we do best - supporting our children to learn and thrive.

As you know our school has undergone an Ofsted inspection this week, under the revised inspection framework. As you may be aware, there are strict guidelines around the inspection process, which mean that we are unable to share the inspection outcomes or gradings at this stage. This also applies to discussions beyond what Ofsted permits, including with staff. We appreciate your understanding and patience while the process is completed. What I can say, without hesitation, is how incredibly proud I am of our whole school community.

Happy New Year and welcome back to the Spring Term. It has been lovely to see the children return to school so positively after the break, full of energy and ready to learn. Although there was some disappointment at not being able to build any snowmen this week, we were pleased that the weather meant the decision to remain open was an easy one, allowing learning (and routines!) to continue as normal.
