Coppice Primary School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Pupils make good or better progress in all age groups, and leave with standards in English and mathematics that are above national averages.

However, progress in Key Stage 1 is not as rapid as in Key Stage 2. Good leadership has ensured that the school is improving. Teaching has improved significantly.

It is now typically good and sometimes outstanding, particularly for older pupils. The school is a caring and very happy place. There are no marked differences in achievement between pupils of different ability or background – all achieve equally well.

Pupils enjoy school, and as a result their attendance is above average. Behavio...ur across the school is good. The pupils have a very positive attitude to learning and feel safe.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : leaders and managers have not always used sufficiently accurate information about how well pupils are progressing to drive improvements in teaching and learning in a few lessons, work is not set at the right level to ensure that all pupil groups make the progress they should.

The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for extra funding through the pupil premium is well below the national average. The proportion of pupils supported at school action is well below average. The proportion who are supported at school action plus or have a statement of special educational needs is also well below average.

As an academy converter, the school does not yet have confirmed results relating to government floor targets, which set the minimum expectations for attainment and progress. There is childcare provision on the school site, but it is not run by the governing body and was not included in the inspection. The school also shares its campus with a local high school.
