Special Delivery!

11th February 2021 By sabrinabarlow

In school, we are aware of how difficult life is at the moment for everyone. We wanted to do something special for all of our pupils (whether they are currently working very hard at school or working very hard at home!) to remind them that we are thinking of you all and can’t wait to have you safely back in school. Those children in school will receive their special delivery tomorrow and those at home will have theirs delivered either Thursday or Friday afternoon. They have been in quarantine so are ready to be cuddled!

Enjoy and stay safe from all the staff at Copeland Road!

Safer Internet Day 9th February 2021

6th February 2021 By sabrinabarlow

Safer Internet Day will be on the 9th February 2021. This year the theme is ‘an internet we trust: exploring reliability in the online world.’ The internet has an amazing range of information and opportunities for users, but how do we separate fact from fiction?

At Copeland Road Primary, our children are immersed in a positive online environment. The children from Reception to Year 6 are given the important life skills needed to ensure they use the internet safely. The children are encouraged to question and challenge information found online. It has never been more important to make sure children are using the internet safely.

Starting school? There is still time to apply.

10th January 2021 By sabrinabarlow

Although potential new starters can’t visit school at the moment, they can watch the video that we created and give us a ring for further information about our school. We understand that applying for a place in a new school can be a difficult decision to make and want to support parents with this in any way we can.

As part of the ongoing situation with COVID-19 all schools must have plans in place should a ‘bubble’ need to self-isolate at home. Our remote learning offer consists of a balance of online ‘live’ teaching, online based and downloadable activities.

Harvest Time

9th October 2020 By sabrinabarlow

Every year we celebrate Harvest and although it will be different this year, we still intend to do everything we can to celebrate Harvest in school, support elderly people in our community and provide provisions to our school food bank at The Well.

  • Every class is going to celebrate in their own way and we will be putting together a short video about Harvest to share with you on our app because sadly we will not be able to hold a Harvest Assembly in school this year.
  • Every year we ask you to nominate someone elderly in the community to receive a food parcel and although we cannot do this safely this year we are still going to ask you to nominate someone by filling in a form on the app. They will receive a voucher from us to use at The Well for a hot drink and a cake at some point over the next twelve months, when they feel it is safe for them to do so.
  • If you would like to donate any pre-packed (not fresh) food to this good cause, we will provide boxes at the school gates from Monday 12th October until Wednesday 21st October or you could send a small donation of money into school with your child which we will use to buy vouchers for those people nominated.

Thank you for your continued support.

Gem Power

9th October 2020 By sabrinabarlow

Gem Power

The children created some fantastic displays for the hall this term, the theme was Gem Power and how the children could demonstrate learning powers visually.

We use the ‘Gem Project’ which was introduced to our school by Dr Tom Robson. It centres around 6 gems, which link with learning powers. This project is designed to build on the work that we already do in school on building resilient, growth mindset, kind and independent learners. The different ‘Gems’ help the children to understand that no matter what they think their ability is, they can always improve.
