About Alder Coppice Primary School

Alder Coppice Primary School photo

Alder Coppice Primary School was built in 1967 and is situated in a pleasant part of Sedgley about a mile north-west of the town centre on the Northway Estate.

It was originally two separate infant and junior schools (5–7 and 7–11 respectively), with a nursery unit being added in the 1970s around the same time that the infant and junior schools became first and middle schools in September 1972. However, the first and middle schools merged to form a primary school in September 1988, and the two departments reverted to infant and junior in September 1990 when the age of secondary transfer was reduced from 12 to 11.

Alder Coppice Primary School is a two form entry primary school and nursery with a standard admission number of 60 children. There are approximately 435 children on roll. The School is a Foundation School, having previously been Grant Maintained, and is within the Dudley Local Authority.

The School is accommodated in two buildings, separated by an internal service road. Both buildings have a hall, a library and offices. The Lower School building consists of the Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 classes, a series of small group teaching and meeting rooms. The Upper School building houses all of the Key Stage 2 classes and the Staff Room. There is one mobile classroom and spacious grounds which contain four play areas and a playing field.

Commitment to safeguarding

Alder Coppice Primary School operates a safe recruitment process and appointment to all posts will be subject to suitable references and an enhanced DBS check. The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
