Strengths
- “Pupils at Coppice Primary Academy are true advocates for the positive work that the school carries out.”
- “They speak enthusiastically about the warm relationships that are woven through the school’s close-knit community.”
- “Pupils delight in their education and relish learning new information.”
To improve
- “The school’s published provisional data for writing in 2024 showed that some pupils’ attainment at the end of Year 6 was significantly below the national average.”

- “However, the school has not gone far enough in identifying the key foundational knowledge that pupils should learn and how this should be consistently delivered.”
