• Ukulele Concert

  Tue 16 Dec 2025 Mrs Bird

  Yesterday, we were treated to a visit from the very talented Wigan Ukulele Club, who like to bring 'Ukes into Schools' and entertain the children. As it is nearly Christmas, they all wore festive outfits (and we're pretty sure one of them was Santa) and played lots of familiar Christmas songs. Our Year 4 ukulele players had the privilege of playing alongside them at one point, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. All the children and staff had a wonderful time singing along and taking part in the 12 Days of Christmas extravaganza. It was wonderful! Thank you so much to the Wigan Ukulele Club and Mrs Jones, our Music leader, for organising such a festive event for us. 

  

• Afternoon Tea with Santa event

  Tue 09 Dec 2025 Mrs Bird

  Our wonderful PTFA organized an Afternoon Tea with Santa yesterday. All our volunteers got right into the Christmas spirit and dressed up for the occasion, then filled the hall with festive tables full of scrumptious treats for the children to enjoy. Much to their delight, they had a visit from Father Christmas, who presented them all with a gift, after deciding which staff were going onto the 'naughty' or 'nice' list this year. It was a whole lot of fun, but (as you can imagine) it took a lot of work to organize and run. So thank you to our fabulous PTFA volunteers for all their hard work - you brought huge enjoyment to the children, whilst raising much needed funds for the school. 

  

• Harvest Service

  Thu 02 Oct 2025 Mrs Bird

  This Friday is our Harvest Service at Coppull Parish Church. Every year our families donate generously to the Harvest collection, by sending in cans, bottles, boxes and packets of food for the Church's selected foodbank. The children from our Worship group then deliver them to church and make displays of our gifts around the church. Here is a picture of Reverend Matt and some of our pupils in church. We are looking forward to the Church service on Friday with the opportunity to sing our Harvest Hymns, listen to scripture from the Bible and hear the vicar's talk. Thank you parents for your generous donations.

  

• Author visit at Coppull Parish

  Thu 02 Oct 2025 Mrs Bird

  Today, author and illustrator Sean Perkins visited every class to share his brand new book: Oscar and Ben The Sleepover. The children loved listening to his story, joining in with some fantastic songs, and asking him brilliant questions during the Q&A session.
   

  

• Recycling Workshops

  Mon 08 Sep 2025 Mrs Bird

  Last Friday, four of our classes were fortunate to be able to participate in creative learning workshops all about recycling delivered by Konflux Theatre. The focus this year was 'What goes around comes around' and the children had a really good session and learned so much. Thank you to the Konflux Theatre for visiting us - we really hope our children will put their learning into practice and find ways of recycling and making our Earth more sustainable.

• Gardening Club achievements

  Wed 09 Jul 2025 Mrs Bird

  This week the Garden Club visited St James School Chorley who were the hosts for the Horticultural Show 2025. Schools from all over Chorley visited and exhibited in 18 distinct categories displaying vegetables, flowers, artwork, and fruit.

  Our school garden club have worked hard nurturing peas, beans, tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, carrots, spring onions, radish, potatoes, strawberries, and sweet peas. We are incredibly proud as a horticultural show takes commitment and dedication all year and this year was no different. We entered artwork from many children across the school.

   

  We are delighted to announce that the Coppull Parish gardening club won awards in 13 out of the 18 categories, which is amazing - and purely down to the efforts of the children and Mrs Goymer. They are now hoping to build a polytunnel, so that their garden continues to flourish. 

   

  Here are some photographs of the event. 

  

• VE Day Celebrations at Coppull Parish

  Thu 08 May 2025 Mrs Bird

  Children and staff had a wonderful time commemorating the 80th Anniversary of VE day today. Everyone dressed for the occasion in red/white and blue, or 1940s style clothing - ranging from HM Forces to the Land Army, fashionable civilians and we even had a few evacuees. Staff have prepared lots of great learning and activities based on what life was like for our local community during the war period and celebrating the lives of those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom today. It was a day of great joy, great learning and real community spirit. Our neighbours even rang up to thank us for all the wonderful wartime music we played during our street party style lunch. Days like these are so important, as we remember our shared history and learn from it. Well done everyone for throwing yourself into it!

  

• Kingdom Club supports the Woodlands Animal Sanctuary

  Wed 07 May 2025 Mrs Bird

  This year, our Kingdom Club have chosen to support the Woodlands Animal Sanctuary at Ormskirk. So far, this has involved the children attending the sanctuary, to see all the hard work done by the volunteers and find out what support the charity needed. The Kingdom Club then led a whole school assembly to share their learning with the rest of our school community and launched their fundraising campaign.

   

  Over the last few weeks, the children have organized an animal themed non-uniform day, a bake sale and asked our families to have a Spring Clean and donate any unwanted items to the Woodland Animal Sanctuary's charity shop. There's been a lot of hard work involved and our pupils have raised over £200 for the sanctuary and delivered a 'car load' of donations for the charity shop.

   

  Here is a photograph of a couple of our KC children dropping off our donations. The volunteers were delighted with our generous support when we delivered it all yesterday, so well done to the Kingdom Club for all their hard work and to everyone at school who was able to support this worthy cause.

  

• Ethos Conference

  Tue 04 Mar 2025 Mrs Bird

  Today, Mrs Hackett, our Chair of Governors, accompanied 3 lucky children from our Worship Group to St James' Primary School to attend their Ethos Conference. The focus of the day was prayer, so the children took part in lots of different prayer activities, which they will be sharing with the rest of the Worship group over the coming weeks. Here are some photographs of the day.
