Coppice Primary School

School overview

Coppice Primary School is a primary school serving Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, classified by the DfE as a foundation school. It has 411 pupils aged 5 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 92% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 15.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 2% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 110 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 24% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 91% of the families who made Coppice Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. Overall pupil absence was 4.1%. There are about 23.6 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 9% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Coppice Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
