Open Evening Speech

'Head Girl 2025-2026' - Imogen

'Good evening, potential Coppice pupils and parents. A warm welcome to everyone, it's so lovely to see new faces. My name is Imogen, and I am really proud to be this year's Head Girl at Coppice Academy. I don't want you to choose us as a school but as a family. Don't imagine yourself as part of this school but as a part of our family. My school is all about us being a community.

When I first started here I remember feeling quite nervous but everyone was so welcoming and friendly that I quickly felt right at home. If your child is the kind of pupil who will happily sign up for a role, there is plenty for them. Our roles here include: School Council, Eco Council, Art Ambassadors and Computing Leads.

Next I am going to inform you about our school values. Independence, Compassion, Co-operation, Creativity, Perseverance and Respect, makes Coppice the place to be! That is our Coppice Rap!

I just want to share with you that I wanted to become Head Girl because I have had an outstanding three years here and for my last year I want my fellow pupils - and any newcomers - to have what I received. Before I finish, I want to let you know that I love our school so much, even if it's working hard or making everlasting friendships, we're the best at it. 

I hope you consider Coppice Academy as a school for your child.'
