It has been another great week at Coppice Valley! Our EYFS and KS1 pupils have truly shone in their nativity performances. The children were so confident – it was a pleasure to see our youngest pupils take to the stage with such enthusiasm. A huge thank you to all the families who came along to support them; your encouragement means so much to the children and staff alike.

What another great week it has been at Coppice Valley, with Christmas now in full swing across school. Our craft afternoons have taken place and it has been wonderful to see so many parents joining us in the hall, sharing in the festive creativity and joy. Thank you for taking the time to come in – the children absolutely loved it.

It has been another fabulous week at Coppice Valley! This week we took all our KS1 and KS2 pupils to the panto – oh yes we did! It was absolutely brilliant, and the children (and staff) were fantastic throughout, from leaving school to arriving back. It is wonderful that all our pupils get to enjoy this annual experience. One of our governors even drove past us on our walk and phoned school to say how smart everyone looked and how impressed she was! We have already booked next year’s panto – Sleeping Beauty.

This week, I have to give a massive thank you to our staff team. We have had very high levels of staff illness, which have left us incredibly stretched. At 6am on Wednesday, we were genuinely discussing whether we could keep the school open. Yet our staff pulled together brilliantly – supporting one another, covering for each other, tag-teaming and checking in – to ensure we continued to support all of our pupils and deliver high-quality learning with skeleton staffing. I am extremely proud to be part of such a team who, despite the challenges, keep smiling.

What a week! We always love to keep ourselves busy at Coppice Valley, and this week has been no different. As you will have heard, it has been assessment week, so the children have been busy showing off some of the things they have learnt so far. We know that assessments can feel stressful for some pupils, so our approach is always to reassure them that tests are just one measure of what they know. They are certainly not the full picture, and they don’t measure the truly important things, like kindness and curiosity.
