Staffing News - Corsham Primary School

November 2013
Welcome to our third newsletter of the year—we have lots of news to report and
celebration of achievement and learning ...
Staffing News
Life on the staffing front at Corsham Primary has been very busy recently with the announcement that Mrs Heard is
expecting her second baby in March 2014 and will be starting her maternity leave at February half term. We are
utterly delighted for Kate and Sam and look forward to having a cuddle in the New Year.
Mrs Smalley has also announced very exciting news that she and her husband are expecting their first baby next
May. We are all absolutely delighted to celebrate this news.
Mrs Becky Lambert starts her maternity leave at the beginning of December - with an expected delivery date of 17
December. Mr and Mrs Lambert are hoping the baby isn’t late but arrives before the festive season begins; they are
hoping to meet Father Christmas for the first time!
Mrs Caroline Bowater who is based at the Broadwood site has resigned her position as a part-time Reception
Teacher. Caroline has worked at Corsham Primary for eleven years and given many years of dedicated service to
the children in her care. Caroline has decided to become a full-time Mum caring for her two little sons Charlie and
Jack. We wish her all the best in the future. We will miss her terribly in January.
Life is also changing for Mrs Fran Nisbet whose husband has secured a permanent job in Chester. Mrs Nisbet will be
seeing out the academic year at Corsham Primary making the big move to Chester with Isaac and Mr Fox the dog in
July 2014.
What happens next??
Following interviews I am pleased to announce that Miss Kate Martin has been appointed to cover Mrs Lambert’s
maternity leave. Kate will be joining us in January 2014. Becky and Kate worked together in Apples last year so they
know each other very well and are already in contact on the phone to ensure all the necessary information is passed
over carefully.
Mrs Wade, who currently works in year three will be moving to Broadwood to take over Mrs Bowater’s teaching
commitment in Reception. Mrs Wade knows Broadwood very well and is really looking forward to working alongside
Mrs Jones. Mrs Kendall will be extending her working week from part-time to full-time so the children in 3KW should
not notice too much of a difference although we know they will miss Mrs Wade initially.
We have plenty of time to organise Mrs Heard’s, Mrs Smalley’s and Mrs Nisbet’s replacements but rest assured that
plans are underway to find a suitable person to care for the children in 4AH, 5S and the Brook Centre.
One of our long-term Lunchtime Playworkers has decided to retire from Pound Pill—we all wish Mrs Gill Herniman a
much deserved rest and know that the children will miss her presence on the playground at lunchtimes.
We have two new recruits! Mrs Shelly Bennington has started work at Broadwood as our new Teaching Assistant.
Shelly has settled in well and we are enjoying having her on board, and Mrs Katie Jackson has started at Pound Pill
as a Lunchtime Playworker—the children are enjoying getting to know the second Mrs Jackson!
Last but not least, Mrs Glover and Mrs Pegler have “done a swop-over”!!! Reception arrangements have given Mrs
Phillips the opportunity to take up a new role of Admin Officer at Pound Pill.
Just a quick reminder of SATs dates for parents:
Key Stage 2 SATs—Week commencing Monday 12 May 2014
Should any parent require further information about SATs please do not
hesitate to pop into school to see your child’s teacher.
Literacy and Numeracy in School
Just to remind you that we have created a couple of leaflets to help
parents and carers with some of the jargon and techniques we use in
school when teaching literacy and numeracy. Copies of these leaflets are
available in the entrance hall.
Christmas Lunch
As the fireworks fade away, so our thoughts turn to Christmas, and especially
Christmas food! School Christmas lunch is always great fun and booking forms
for both sites will follow shortly.
Chippenham Basketball Project
A new junior basketball session is set to be delivered in Chippenham from
half term, at the Chippenham Air Dome. The project, open to 9-12 year olds, is the first
step by Wiltshire Council and Innov8sportz to set up a regular junior club for the town and
will take place on Wednesday nights from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. The session will be fun and
active with young people shown new skills, introduced to basketball
tactics and encouraged to take part in small sided games and tournaments. Initially the
project will run for 6 weeks from 13 November to 18 December and will cost £3 per
session or £15 for the block of 6 weeks. We are also running adult recreational basketball
sessions at the Olympiad Leisure Centre from 7pm—8pm on Wednesday nights during the
same period of time. These are open to anyone aged 16+ and are aimed at those who
used to play, played in school, or indeed have never played before and want to have a go!
For more information on either project or to book a place, please contact Terry Bathe at
Innov8sportz on info@innov8sportzcic@gmail.com or phone 07837 535499.
To all our parents, carers, friends and staff
The Community and Information Officer from Corsham Town Council has contacted us
to ask if we would all complete a Corsham Town Centre Survey. The more feedback
obtained, the more informed the Town Council can be when it comes to making
decisions and planning for the future. (There will be a Youth Council-led survey for
young people after half-term, so Corsham’s younger residents can have their say.)
Survey forms are available at the Town Hall to complete in hard copy format or can
be filled in online at http://tiny.cc/corsham. The link can be found on the website at
www.corsham.gov.uk.
Thank you.
Children’s Photographs
We are currently discussing the Leadership and
Management Policy.
Any parents wishing to see the draft
policy and make any comments can obtain a copy
from the school office.
Please remember that the
closing date for ordering
photographs (with
accompanying payment) is
Friday 8 November.
Friday 29 November at Pound Pill 5.00 - 7.00pm
Continued progress in sustaining the Basic Skills Quality Mark.
During October, we were delighted to invite the Basic Skills assessor, Ian
Gyllenspetz, to Corsham Primary for an interim review of the Basic Skills
developments since being awarded the Basic Skills Quality Mark in January 2012.
Mr Gyllenspetz was incredibly impressed with the standard of teaching and
learning in Reading, Writing and Mathematics across all year groups,
including the way we develop these skills across the curriculum. He said “The
degree of effective management in the basic skills, including ICT, ensures that the
curriculum is reviewed and updated regularly, as well as challenging pupils at all
levels ensuring that the excellent progress is being maintained”.
Developments at Broadwood
Many friends and families will know that there are various plans to build new houses in
and around Broadwood—most recently we heard some great news that GreenSquare is
also planning to build some new family housing on the Rudloe Estate. We have been in
discussions with some of the developers and it appears money (called Section 106) is
made available to improve the school facilities which is great news for Broadwood.
This will enable us to tackle some of the outstanding issues that need to be addressed,
for instance extending the very cramped office, replacing the aluminium windows and
creating a school library. Obviously these things take time to go through all the proper
channels but we are feeling very optimistic that it will mean wonderful news for all the
Broadwood children in the longer term.
At Pound Pill, Section 106 money was allocated to Corsham Primary as a result of the
new housing build on Pound Mead. Sixty two thousand pounds will soon be arriving in
our bank account which we plan to use to redevelop the children’s toilets.
Our new Immersive Room at Pound Pill has proved to be such a huge success with the
teachers and pupils that we are now in discussions with 4D to install (“the same but a
smaller version”) at Broadwood. We will keep you informed via the newsletter of all
these exciting developments.
Harvest Time
We enjoyed lots of Harvest related celebrations recently at Corsham Primary. As
usual we asked for donations of produce to be brought to the assemblies and we
passed this on to Corsham Churches Food Bank and Julian House, Bath.
A splendid amount of food was gathered and we are delighted to have been able to
so generously support these two amazing charities.
Julian House have written us a lovely letter of thanks for the gift of Harvest
Festival produce donated by Pound Pill. They have a newly refurbished
emergency hostel which is now open and accepting more people,
particularly women, who would otherwise be forced to sleep on the
streets. They are also open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Money that
doesn't have to be spent on food can be used to fund new projects and
support programmes which would otherwise not happen. Even more
positively, Julian House clients gain great comfort from seeing that local
communities do care about their wellbeing.—sadly their experiences on
the streets are often quite the opposite.
Corsham “Blooming Fun” 2013 Painting Competition
We are delighted that some of our children entered this popular
competition and won certificates. Congratulations to the following
winners:
Age 6 and Under Category
Special Commendation—Marianne W
Special Commendation—Ellie C

Well done to you all!
Teacher Training Day—Wednesday 6 November
The day was spent focusing on actions from our School Development and
Improvement Plan. KS2 teachers spent time discussing the teaching and learning
of spelling, punctuation and grammar and KS1 teachers found out about the
teaching programme Maths Makes Sense. The second part of the day was spent
on
assessment, levelling and moderation activities.
Year Two New Play Area
Can I confirm to all parents who have asked, that the new fencing outside the year
two classrooms at Pound Pill isn’t there to keep parents out, but to give the year two
classes a lovely new safe outside play area which they have never had before. The
fenced area will enable the teachers to set up sand, water and other outside play
activities without fear of the rest of the children using the facilities at playtimes or
the beginning and end of the day. It has always been our intention to establish this
space hence the design of the over-hanging roof which creates shelter. I hope this
clarifies the situation for everyone.
BAD WEATHER
Winter is just around the corner!
The following arrangements will be used in the event of bad weather:
Unexpected Heavy Snowfall—Heating and Toilets working
Mrs Allen, Mrs Cooke and Mr Welch all live outside Corsham so it may be possible that not all
of us will be able to reach the school. If this happens, messages may be taken at the school by
those teachers who can reach the site.
The school will remain open if sufficient teachers arrive to look after each class.
If it is impossible to supervise a class because no teacher is present, the children in that class
will be sent home.
If that happens:
A)
A text will be sent to your mobile.
B)
A message of closure will be telephoned to BBC Wiltshire Sound (103.6FM or 1368 KHz)
or Heart Radio.
C)
The telephone will be manned in order to answer queries if possible.
D)
A notice will be placed on the school gate and noticeboard.
E)
A message will be posted on the school Website:- www.corshamprimary.co.uk.
No child should be sent to, or left at, school until it is certain that the class will open.
Structural Damage to Buildings
The school building is built to the latest specifications, so closure is only likely if structural
damage occurs. The same procedures will be operated if necessary.
Don’t forget that we have a text messaging service which we use in case of emergency so
please let us know if you have changed your number.
We are delighted to see many children coming to school on their scooters
and bikes. Please remember that children must leave them in the racks as
they come to school; there have been a couple of incidents where young
children and adults have been bumped into as well as pre-school children
falling off their scooters when scooters and bikes are taken into the
playground.
Playground Craze of the Month
November’s crazes are skipping ropes, yo-yo’s, mini
skateboards and pocket sketch.
Please ensure that toys are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
Sports News
After three weeks of girl’s cricket coaching across Year 5 at Pound Pill, we
entered a team of 8 into the North Wiltshire Lady Taverns Festival which was
held in the Dome in Chippenham.
The team started off a little nervously and were intimidated by a number of
Year 6 girls who were also involved in the competition but this didn't last long!
Each match that was played increased the girls’ confidence and before long
they had mastered the game with accurate bowling and good agility whilst
fielding. As a team they really supported each other, even when things didn't
go quite according to plan!
Well done to all the girls—we finished in 5th place.
FIRE ALARM PROCEDURES
If ever the fire alarm is activated towards the end of the day and we have to evacuate the building,
please can we ask parents who are on the playground waiting to collect their children to move to
the following areas:
Pound Pill—make your way to the lower playground and stand to the right hand side away from
the children.
Broadwood—make your way to the field and stand to the right hand side away from the children.
Thank you.
The Broadwood Cups invite you to our weekly coffee/chat mornings
Wednesdays & Fridays @ Broadwood (8.40am—10.00am in the Community Room)
Come along and join in the fun! All sorts of different activities:
Visits by Health Visitor
First Aid Training
Art Workshops
Cookery Classes
Help with children’s school and home learning
Literacy and Numeracy courses
All enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee!
SAFETY MATTERS
The darker evenings and mornings
may mean that some children are
walking or cycling to and from
school in the twilight. It is
important that they wear
something reflective at night or
fluorescent in daylight to ensure
that they are visible when crossing
roads or walking in unlit areas.
When cycling it is a legal
requirement that bicycles have a
white front light and a red rear
light. The reflectors must also be
kept clean.
Remembrance Poppies will be sold in school
from Thursday 24 October until Monday 11
November. Last year we made £113.53 for
the Royal British Legion.
We have had a request from residents on Station Road
who ask parents to please not park across their driveways
or double park to prevent access. Please be considerate
when dropping off and picking up your child/ren. We do
offer a limited number of car parking permits to those
who live more than 1 mile away; contact the office if you
would like one.
Our First Aid Team are keen to receive any donations of spare
girl’s socks that you may have sorted out over half term. We
are desperately short—Thank you!
Dressing Up
The children do enjoy having dressing up clothes to play with during playtimes;
if you have anything you think might be useful for the dressing-up box
we would be most grateful for any donations.
Thank you.
Reminder for Parents …
WHAT TO DO IF THINGS GO WRONG?
Please remember that you need to provide
your child with a P.E. kit for use in school.
Lots of children are borrowing kit from school
which is going missing from cloakrooms.
We hope your child’s time here is happy,
however there may be times when you have
particular worries or concerns.
Thank you.
Corsham Snapdragons
Playworker Required
Working with children aged 4-11 years can be one of
the most rewarding and challenging opportunities for a
child carer. With continually evolving activities and
opportunities, we are looking for individuals who can
be spontaneous and creative with this age group whilst
consistently coming up with new ideas. In Out of
School Club, anything is possible.
For more details please contact Helen
on 01249 714060.
We always endeavour to deal with any issues
quickly and take appropriate action. Day to
day worries are best raised with the class
teachers who are around in the morning
before registration and at the end of the
day. It may be appropriate to arrange an
appointment at a time which is mutually
convenient.
Mrs Allen, Mrs Cooke, Mr Welch, Mrs Fry,
Mrs Ridout and Mrs Parker are all available
by email, through the school office or by
letter.
Please remember dogs are not allowed onto either school site.

*** GOOD NEWS ***
We are delighted to let you know that we have recently achieved the
Customer Service Excellence Award annual review. The assessor
spent a day with us, examining evidence, observing front line service
and meeting staff, pupils and parents. He was very impressed with the
service we provide and passed us on every single criteria (all 57 of them!)
Part of the process was reviewing our Customer Service Standards. We have nine standards that we
have evaluated our performance against. We have done this by considering our current practice,
written evidence along with observational evidence. We believe we are meeting all nine services and
also had this corroborated by the Customer Service Excellence Award assessor. Please see over the
page for the review.

Broadwood Note:
Bradford Road Parking
Please take extreme care when
parking along the Bradford Road
to drop off and pick up your
child/ren. We have had a note
from a parent asking that all
cars park in the right direction in
order to minimise the risk of
accidents.
Highway Code:
2. Parking (239 to 247)
239
Use off-street parking areas, or
bays marked out with white lines
on the road as parking places,
wherever possible. If you have
to stop on the roadside, do not
park facing against the traffic
flow.
Please may we respectfully
remind parents that we try
hard to eliminate nuts or nut
produce in school. We have
a number of children who
react violently if they come
into contact with anything
containing nuts and for their
protection and safety we do
everything we can to try to
prevent this occurring.
WONDERFUL MUSICAL OPPORTUNITY FOR
CHILDREN (AND IT’S FREE!)
Trowbridge Symphony Orchestra will be performing Prokofiev’s
delightful “Peter and the Wolf”, a musical symphony for children in
which the narration is illustrated by orchestral instruments. Children
learn about the instruments of the orchestra and their varying sounds as
each character in the story is represented by a different instrument or
musical theme. The performance is at Holy Trinity Church, Trowbridge,
on Saturday 23 November at 7.30pm
The programme also includes Walton’s exciting “Spitfire Overture”,
Saint-Saens’ spooky “Danse Macabre” (whose unusual effects include
skeletons dancing and bones rattling) whilst Poulenc’s outrageously
jazzy and irreverent “Les Biches” ends what should be a very lively
evening!
Tickets are £10 (accompanied under 16’s free) are available from the
Trowbridge Tourist Information Centre (Tel: 01225 765072), or on the
door if available.
NOTE FOR YOUR DIARIES …
