School Improvement

School improvement at Coppice Valley is a whole school affair.

Governors, staff, pupils and parents are included in the process. We recognise that improvement is a process over time, not an event; of exploring and researching, weighing up options and actions, implementing changes and evaluating their effectiveness. 

Leadership is distributed in the school, so staff play an important role in effecting change and bringing about improvement. Parents are consulted regularly at schools events, online surveys and working parties we create. Pupils have a strong voice at Coppice Valley. All pupils are consulted termly in our Pupil Voice Conference about school matters.

Our improvement structures help us to keep this process running effectively. Governors and senior leaders meet regularly for progress updates, reviewing and responding to improvement work. Staff work together on curriculum, teaching and learning improvement projects, exploring ideas and options, trialling them and modelling good practice to one another.
