About Coppetts Wood Primary School

Coppetts Wood Primary School is a friendly, caring, single form entry school with a nursery, additional resource provision and Children’s Centre.  The school is situated within large grounds south of the North Circular near the Barnet/Haringey Borders. The school accommodation is spacious and bright and the school is extremely well resourced across all aspects of the curriculum.

In addition to large fields, we have a stunning eco-garden, a pond and wildlife area, an adventure playground and an Early Years provision with an outside area that many schools could only wish for! The governors have recently invested in a new climbing structure and sand pit area which have really added to the learning environment in the early years. Our school is very bright and vibrant. Our classrooms are well resourced and we have a spacious hall and separate dining hall. We have two bespoke Children’s Centre buildings, one of which is brand new! 

As a school, we have a clear vision for our children, based around our name – CWPS! We want our children to be creative, work hard and persevere and ultimately succeed! Underpinning this is our values based approach. The children have selected a number of values they feel are important to them and we share these each month as a school community so that we have a shared understanding of them.

We have an experienced and committed staff team who are highly skilled. We believe in quality first teaching, every day for every child as well as a commitment to using effective interventions. 

We serve a diverse community and put a great importance on valuing each child as an individual. We have a strong ethos of inclusion and our additional resource provision is an important part of our school. Our provision caters for up to 10 children with autism and we are in the early stages of development with four children placed with us across Year 1 and Reception.

We were graded as Outstanding by Ofsted in 2011. Since then, we have continued to build on this success. We are very proud of our children’s achievement from early years up to Year 6, A particular success is how well our disadvantaged children have done, above national disadvantaged children and other children nationally.

Visits to the school are welcomed and encouraged. Only this way will you get to know if this is the organisation for you! Please call us to organise a suitable time to visit.  We look forward to meeting you.
