Educational Visits and Outdoor and Adventurous Activities are an integral part of the children’s education at The Coppice Primary School. They offer opportunities to enrich the curriculum, enabling the children to have first-hand experience of a wide range of topics and activities. On residential visits, there is an opportunity to develop social skills which have a long-lasting beneficial effect, as well as fostering independence.

Through providing children with an array of experiences outside of the classroom, we aim to fulfill our school vision – to promote happy, confident and successful learners.

We aim to provide a broad range of off-site Educational Visits that support our broad and balanced curriculum, promoting spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development.

Here are just some of the off-site visits we offer:

Nursery:  Little Dots Play Village and the local library

Year Two: The Birmingham Nature Centre

Year Three: Lapworth Museum

We also have many visitors and events in school that further enhance our curriculum, including Roman, Viking, Stone-Age and Robotics workshops.
