At The Coppice Primary and Nursery School, we believe that well-being is fundamental to every pupil’s success and happiness. We are committed to creating a mentally wealthy environment where every child can flourish both academically and emotionally.

Our Commitment to Pupil Well-being:

Our vision is to offer a safe, happy, inclusive, caring, and stimulating learning environment where children and staff feel respected and are encouraged to respect others. This commitment underpins our Thrive approach to well-being, ensuring that pupils develop the resilience and skills necessary to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

We strive to nurture young people who are self-motivated, self-critical, and who grow into valued citizens, capable of contributing positively to society. Our well-being provision actively supports this by building a community founded on excellent behaviour, tolerance, and fun.

Our Three-Tiered Well-being Support Plan

To achieve our aim of supporting the mental wealth of all pupils, we have developed a comprehensive three-tiered plan to support all of our pupils which  offers more specialised provision for those that require it.
