Coppice Primary School

About Coppice Primary School

Coppice Primary School in Redbridge holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 70%. That figure is slightly below the Redbridge local authority average of 74%, placing the school 31st out of 50 primary schools in the borough. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 82% of pupils met the expected standard and 34% reached the higher standard, with an average score of 108. In maths, 79% hit the expected level and 18% achieved the higher standard, with an average score of 104. Writing saw 77% meet expectations and 13% reach the higher level. So while the combined headline figure sits below the LA norm, the school performs well in reading and broadly in line with local averages in maths and writing.

The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available in the data, but the KS2 results give a clear sense of where pupils finish. Nationally, Coppice ranks 4,072 out of 13,686 primary schools on the combined expected standard metric, placing it in the 30th percentile. Within London, it sits at 785th out of 1,592, or the 49th percentile. These are solidly mid-table results, not outstanding but far from struggling. The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26, it received 118 applications for 52 places, with 47 offers going to first-preference families out of 48 who listed it first. That oversubscription ratio of 2.27 suggests strong local demand. The headteacher is Clare Pike, and the school has a nursery provision for children aged three and up, which may appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.

Facilities include a library, art studios, a gymnasium, ICT suite, outdoor playground, sensory room, playing fields, forest school and a chapel. Sports on offer are football, netball, cross country, dance, cricket, gymnastics and tennis, while clubs include art, coding, gardening, science club, choir and film club. The school has dedicated SEND provisions for social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. With 23.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse catchment. It is a state primary, mixed gender, non-religious, and does not have a sixth form. For families in Redbridge who want a Good-rated school with a broad range of facilities and clubs, and who are comfortable with results that are solid but not top of the LA table, Coppice is a practical, well-subscribed option.
