Friday Update 24.04.2026
The focus of my message this week in on school attendance. As a school, we have a duty to keep parents informed about their child’s attendance. Your child’s current attendance percentage is always available to you via the Arbor app, and we also share updates through our attendance letters when we are monitoring attendance. We know that each time letters regarding attendance are sent, they can sometimes lead to frustration. On occasion, we receive emails and, regrettably, some aggression from members of our parent community. This week multiple staff have received verbal aggression from our community. I want to take a moment to explain why this process is so important.

We hope you have now had the opportunity to read our recently published Ofsted report. We are incredibly proud of what it says about our school and the community we have built together. It reflects the hard work, care and commitment shown every day by our staff, as well as the fantastic attitudes, behaviour and enthusiasm of our pupils.

Friday Update 27.03.2026 - Happy Easter!
As we come to the end of another fantastic and incredibly busy term, I want to take a moment to say thank you to our whole school community for all of your support. This term has been full of learning, enrichment, achievements and memorable learning. We finished today with our Values Assembly, which was a lovely way to celebrate the children who consistently demonstrate our school values and make Coppice such a positive and special place to be. I would also like to say a huge thank you to our staff team, who have worked tirelessly throughout the term. Schools are busy places every day, but this term has been especially full, and I am incredibly grateful for the commitment, care and energy our staff bring to school life.

Firstly, a huge well done to Apple Class, who represented our school brilliantly during filming in school today. Their behaviour was exemplary and they were a real credit to our school. We are very excited to share the finished footage with you soon and know families will be proud of how wonderfully the pupils conducted themselves. A big thank you to Miss Morrow for offering(!) to do this.
