About Coppice Academy
Coppice Academy, a state primary in Solihull for pupils aged 7 to 11, has turned a corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a clear improvement on its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The inspection report awarded Good marks across the board: for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. That upward trajectory is the headline story here. But the exam data tells a more nuanced tale. At Key Stage 2, 56% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is below the Solihull local authority average of 67%, and it places the school 35th out of 42 primary schools in the borough. The school’s ranking score of 56 puts it in the bottom half nationally, too. So while the school has clearly improved its overall quality, academic outcomes at the expected level remain an area to watch.
