COPPULL PARISH CHURCH VOLUNTARY AIDED SCHOOL

The National School was built in 1817 across the road from the church, the Rev. Joseph Taylor being the incumbent. Before he came to Coppull he was Head  Teacher at Eccleston school and it is highly probable that it was through his efforts that the school was built.

In the 1960's the number of children wishing entry was such that the church built a new school at Roe Hey Drive. The foundation stone being laid down on 22nd October 1966. The old school continued to be used, so the school operated on a split site basis.

A few years ago the Governors started fund raising to extend the school. This was successful and we now have a fine school with all the children together on one site.
