About Coppice Primary Academy

Parents considering Coppice Primary Academy will find strong signals that families are broadly happy here. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, 90% of the 51 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That’s a solid vote of confidence. The school is also clearly popular in the local area: for 2025/26 admissions, it received 110 applications for just 58 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.9. Of those applications, 69 were first-preference choices, and all 58 places went to first-preference families. On the day-to-day experience, 98% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 96% felt their child is safe. However, the picture is more mixed on SEND support: while 60% agreed or strongly agreed that children with special educational needs get the help they need, 30% disagreed, and 10% said they didn’t know.
