Goodnight Mister Tom is about William Beech, a mistreated London boy evacuated to the countryside during WWII, who finds love and healing with grumpy, reclusive widower Tom Oakley, but their happiness is shattered when his abusive mother recalls him, leading to a rescue mission by Tom and Willie's eventual recovery from trauma and abuse. The story follows Willie's transformation from a withdrawn, abused child to a confident, artistic boy, highlighting themes of compassion, chosen family, and the impact of war on civilians.

Each week we have a new value – 12 in total.    The children will have an assembly Monday morning about how to show and give respect to others both in school and at home!  We will be expecting this to be demonstrated to all members of our Coppice community,  it is important that even when we move onto a new value, the old one isn’t lost.

 Each week Mrs Seaton will sent out a Newsletter that will reflect the value we are working on so that it can also be supported at home.  We look forward to seeing our children bright and early ready to embrace the new weekly challenges!
