On behalf of staff and governors I would like to welcome you to Coppice Primary School, a vibrant, happy, creative learning community in Hainault, in the London Borough of Redbridge on the borders of Essex.
I am very proud to be the headteacher of this school with our wide range of high quality resources and an exciting curriculum offer that puts children's learning and development at the heart of all that we do. Our aim is to provide a co-operative learning community where all achievements are celebrated and valued.
Through creativity, innovation, effective communication technologies and a cross-curricular approach to learning, our staff facilitate and engage learning, harness children's talents and interests and enable children to leave Coppice as responsible citizens of the world and lifelong learners and thinkers.
Our motto, Aspire, Believe, Achieve is reflected in our passion for learning and enjoyment, ensuring every child receives high quality learning opportunities in English and Mathematics and that expertise in primary teaching and learning is nurtured and grown in all subject areas.
