Sports
In addition to our weekly PE and Games sessions, all children at Coppice Farm also have the opportunity to participate in additional enrichment activities which are designed and aimed at introducing our children to new sports and activities, which build on and / or enhance their curriculum learning.
Staff work alongside Mr Thomas of Next Level Sports in delivering curriculum lessons and these fun and energetic sessions to children across school.
