iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Cooper Perry, proud to be part of the local community since 1874. Cooper Perry is a 3-11 village primary school nestled amidst extensive grounds, serving a rural community situated three miles to the north-west of the county town of Stafford.
Our school currently caters to the children from the four villages of Seighford, Great Bridgeford, Whitgreave, and Derrington, and we have developed a reputation for excellence. At Cooper Perry, our vision, encapsulated in #wearecooperperry , embodies our unwavering commitment to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment.
We warmly welcome children from all backgrounds and starting points, recognising and supporting their individual needs to ensure they thrive academically and socially. Cooper Perry's mission is to help future generations make the world a better place. We want to create an environment where students can grow into thoughtful, respectful, and most importantly, kind people.
Our knowledge rich curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, encourage open-mindedness, and help children become independent thinkers. We want to give our learners the skills to stand up against unfairness and become active change-makers who work for a fairer society.
