From the Alder Coppice Primary School
The team at Alder Coppice Primary School genuinely cares about each and every student, and we put their safety and wellbeing first. All of our efforts are focused on the students because we want them to be content and like learning. We will work to help students reach their maximum academic potential while continuing to develop the "whole person" because we value all children equally. We encourage students of all ages to learn independently, and we foster social connection by helping them improve their communication, language, and reading abilities from nursery school through age eleven. Through imaginative, cutting-edge, and inspiring methods to teaching and learning, we hope to educate our students for the opportunities and difficulties of a complex and technologically evolved society. We anticipate that parents who decide to enrol their child in our school will support the procedures, policies, and guidelines set forth for the good of the entire school community.
