I wrote to all parents on 1st June 2018, welcoming Coppice to Central Learning Partnership Trust and expressed my delight at them joining our school improvement partnership with Heath Park and Moseley Park. I also explained that given the academy conversion date was in the middle of the external examination season, I was asking the interim headteacher to remain in post until the end of the academic year. I am pleased to say that all examinations have now been completed and I thank parents for supporting their children through what has been an exhausting experience and in particular pay huge tribute to the students themselves for their all their hard work and application. I hope upon hope that this is rewarded when examination results are published in August.

I am also delighted to inform you that we have moved to implement a new Executive Leadership Team for the new academic year. The model is different to that which has previously been in place at the school but it is one which we have very successfully deployed in our other schools. The team comprises myself, CEO of the trust, Mrs Georgetta Holloway, Executive Headteacher and two new appointees who will be permanently based at Coppice in the role of Heads of School: Miss Kush Bains and Mr Adrian McLean.
