Bluecoat Primary Academy Community Partnership (BPCP)
BPA Parent, Carer & Teacher Association
Welcome to the Bluecoat Primary Academy Community Partnership
At Bluecoat Primary Academy, we believe that when families, staff, and our wider community work together, children thrive.
Our Bluecoat Primary Academy Community Partnership (BPCP), our version of a traditional PTA, strengthens relationships, supports our STRIVE values, and enhances opportunities for every child.
Together, we “strive for life in all its fullness” (John 10:10).

Promote positive behaviour, attitudes and manners.
