Coppice Valley Primary School

The governing body of Coppice Valley is comprised of up to 9 members; the head teacher, a staff governor, 2 parent governors, 2 trust appointed and 3 co-opted members. We are proud members of the National Governance Association and support their #Visible Governance Campaign. Parent governors are elected by the parent body (if more parents put themselves forward than there are positions available).

We work closely with our local high schools throughout the whole year. This includes visits to school by high school bands, year 7 tutor visits and the headteacher assemblies. Pupil leaders from the local secondaries help out at our events such as sports days. Our pupils go on to many local schools - Harrogate Grammar School, Rossett High School, Harrogate High School, St Aidans, St John Fisher, King James' and Nidderdale High School.

Eco-Schools is a global programme engaging 19.5 million children across 67 countries, making it the largest educational programme on the planet. For over 25 years Eco-Schools has been empowering children to drive change and improve their environmental awareness through the simple Seven-Step framework in order to achieve the international Eco-Schools Green Flag award.

Remember, if you have any questions you can email our class email - oak@cvps.rklt.co.uk or contact us via Tapestry. Please ensure your child has a spare set of clothes, waterproofs and wellies, bookbag and water bottle in school everyday. The curriculum in Oak Class is delivered through a balance of adult led and child led learning.

We have amazing outdoor space at the back of our school, including a wildlife and relaxation area. This video features our Headteacher, Mrs Meadus, and our Deputy Headteacher, Mr Cawte, explaining our school vision and curriculum. You can see footage of our school and ground, plus some of our parents talking about why they chose Coppice Valley for their pupils.
