Welcome to Coppice Farm Primary School a small school with a HUGE heart! Having joined the Head Leadership team here in September 2018, Coppice Farm very quickly found a place in my heart.
Following our Ofsted inspection in June 2024 which saw us maintain our 'Good' grading, this year continues to be another busy and exciting chapter for our school and I am delighted and proud to continue to lead our wonderful school forward as Head Teacher. We are so lucky to have a fabulous team of staff, incredible pupils, hugely supportive governors and fantastic parents.
Our key focus is to support, nurture, guide and champion every child in our school to be the best that they can be. We celebrate individuality, we raise each other up and building a strong, supportive school community is so important in achieving this.
We hope that Coppice Farm is a place that our children are excited to be, somewhere they feel safe, celebrated and encouraged a happy, positive and creative environment where everyone can grow and thrive with confidence.
