Extra Curricular Activities – Introduction

Coppice values the breadth that extra curricular activities can add to children’s lives and offers a wide variety of clubs and opportunities each half term.

When Ofsted visited in 2010 they stated that “Children have an excellent understanding about how to lead a healthy lifestyle and participate fully in the very extensive provision for physical education both during the school day and through extra-curricular activities.”

These include cross country, tennis, football and netball to name but a few. Many other activities are offered and these include performing arts activities such as Choir, artistic activities such as Arty Crafty Club and skill-based activities such as Cooking and Bikeability.

If you would like to book your child onto an extra curricular club please access these via School Money, we will not be accepting cash payments as we are now a cashless site.

Each term new timetables are published and payments created on School Money to book your child's place.  The bookings will close the day before we return to school and we will not be accept any late bookings after these dates.
