to Coppins Green Primary School Website!
Coppins Green is a rapidly improving and innovative primary school.

With over 660 pupils it is one of the largest primary schools in the country. It has already been recognised in the national educational press for the developmental work undertaken at the school in the teaching of numeracy.

A unique characteristic of the school is its dynamic relationship with external consultants who offer a broad range of support and evaluation to the work of the school. These consultants cross a broad range of expertise including the nationally recognised expert on children's learning as well as inspectors and leadership consultants.

Areas in which the school is at the forefront of educational development are the teaching of reading, spelling, writing, numeracy, self-evaluation and school improvement as well as imaginative and sophisticated approaches to the support and care of children.

Head Teacher - Mr S. Livingstone

 

At the forefront of educational development in reading, spelling & writing.	An imaginative and sophisticated approach to the support and care of children.

At present the school is led and managed by a team of three senior staff, these are:

Stuart Livingstone, Anna Conley and Sue Mann.

Stuart Livingstone

Stuart Livingstone has been a head teacher since 1989. Coppins Green is his third school where he has been head teacher since April 2004.

Stuart is very experienced in school leadership, management and improvement. At his previous school, Boreham near Chelmsford Essex, his leadership has been described by OFSTED inspectors as "exceptionally clear."

In respect of this a local MP wrote that:

"You have done an amazing job over the last three years while you have been headmaster and I, as I'm sure all the children have attended to school throughout these years, their parents and your staff, are immensely proud of all that you have achieved and done for our community."

Stuart is a special needs specialist and has written and been published regarding the care and support of children in a mainstream schools setting. He is also a consultant working with other school leaders as well as conducting training in this field.

He has created an exciting and potentially far reaching partnership between the heads of school team and a number of highly experienced and knowledgeable private educational consultants.
