  In Year Transition

  Helping your child be ready for change
• Once your child has been allocated a space at Coppice, contact school to arrange an admin meeting and a tour of the school. This will be your opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
• You will meet your child's class teacher, information will be provided about the school routine, and a start date will be given.
• We know that starting at a new school can be difficult, but we're committed to supporting both students and parents through the process. This is part of our motto: Learn and Grow Together.
