Coates Lane Primary is a place to build friendships and develop skills for lifelong learning. When our pupils leave at the end of year 6 we always hope to send them off being ready for not only High School but with skills to use for the rest of their life! Coates Lane Primary School about 7 hours ago School has closed today for the half term holidays.
We hope you all have a lovely break and we look forward to seeing the children back in school on Monday 23rd February :-)
