So impressed with how hard the @BCoppiceAcademy team have worked this week! Kids are talking about their reading and sharing books with each other and their teachers! Great stuff!

Nursery really enjoyed their first forest school session of the term! We went on a pig hunt over, under and through lots of different areas before finding George Pig! We even had a cuddle with our chickens! 🐓 🐖 🐐🌳 #FIDES #outdoorlearning #forestschool

What a fantastic turn out of parents for our early years concert this afternoon. Over a 100 parents attended. It makes it so special for the children to have someone there just for them. Parents and grandparents singing Rudolph was fantastic. You made your children proud!

[Birchen Coppice Academy @BCoppiceAcademy]

What an amazing day! We are so, so proud of our children. Just amazing @VicAcademies #insistonexcellence #FIDES

Brilliant whole school performance of The Lion King @BCoppiceAcademy this afternoon. Taking the performing arts to a whole new level. Well done to all, children especially. #FIDES

[Andrew Morrish @AndrewDMorrish]

Inspiring day @BCoppiceAcademy, a school unrecognisable from when it joined the Trust a year ago in special measures. Amazing what can be done when children come first. #FIDES @VicAcademies
