Welcome to Coppull Primary School and Nursery ! We believe that school should be a place where children feel safe and happy so that they can achieve their full potential. This permeates through everything that we do from the engaging curriculum, trips and visitors, a commitment to extra curricular activities and having dedicated and caring staff team.
We also have a Wellbeing Team who are there for the children and families in times of need to support them emotionally and practically. Feeling safe in school is our primary aim alongside ensuring that children enjoy coming to school which will then have a positive impact on their learning.
All children have the potential to achieve and we try to instill aspiration and ambition in all pupils. We give the children as many different experiences as possible through trips, visitors a big focus on sport and music tuition in the hope that something sparks an interest beyond the academic side of school.
