The school takes great pride in encouraging musical, sporting and artistic talent and in providing opportunities to develop and share these talents in and out of school. We are able to offer Foundation 1 (F1) provision before the children start full-time school. Children may join F1 one or two terms after their third birthday as below: Staff in the Foundation Unit work very closely together, planning a curriculum where children learn through child–led and structured play, taking full account of their individual needs and learning styles. Each class has a Teaching Assistant who works alongside the class teacher to ensure support and challenge for children of all abilities. All of our staff receive ongoing training and we are proud that we are regularly asked to share our expertise and train staff from other schools. • C hildren with birthdays between 1.1.12-31.3.12 may be admitted to F1 on the first day of the Autumn term in September 2015 As well as ensuring the completion of homework tasks which include creative projects and on-line learning, parents are expected and encouraged to support their children’s learning through nightly reading at home and helping children to learn spellings and times - tables. • C hildren with birthdays between 1.9.12-31.12.12 may be admitted to F1 on the first day of the Summer term in April 2016 Children are taught in single age mixed ability classes throughout the school. Work is differentiated according to the needs of the children. Children in KS2 may be taught in smaller target groups in English and Maths. Classes vary in size according to the age groupings of the children in school at any time with an average class size of 30. Children will spend the majority of their time with their class teacher but many activities are arranged to encourage interrelationships between the age groups and classes. We have staff with curriculum specialisms and so some subjects may be taught by our specialist staff. These include Maths, ICT, French, PE and Creative Arts. PROSPECTUS 2014-15 • C hildren with birthdays between 1.4.12-31.8.12 may be admitted to F1 on the first day of the Autumn term in September 2015 We are able to offer extended F1 provision above the 15 hour entitlement, parents can take advantage of this by paying for supplementary sessions. This is subject to places being available – see Appendix 1. A place in F1 (part-time) does not guarantee a full-time statutory place. Parents and children will be invited to a meeting prior to the start date to confirm sessions required/available. In the event of over subscription to F1, the same admission guidelines as Nottinghamshire County Council will be applied. 6 7 Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L PROSPECTUS 2014-15 Definitions Admissions Criteria – Standard Reception Year admission criteria Children will be admitted to full-time school (F2) at the beginning of the Autumn term. Children will be admitted as follows: • Children with birthdays between 1.9.11 – 31.08.12 will be admitted on the first day of the Autumn Term 2016. All admissions to F2 are the responsibility of Nottinghamshire County Council. In the event of oversubscription, the following criteria will be applied, in priority order, to determine which applications will be granted once places have first been allocated to pupils who have a statement of special educational needs which names the school. 1 Children looked after by a local authority 2Children who live in the catchment area at the closing date for applications and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school or the linked junior/ primary school 3Other children who live in the catchment area at the closing date for applications 4Children who live outside the catchment area and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school or the linked junior/primary school 5 Other children who live outside the catchment area In the event of oversubscription, within all but the first criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. 8 Distances are measured from a point at the school campus to a point at the entrance to the child’s home using the local authority’s computerised measuring system. In the event of two distances being equal, the local authority will measure to the next decimal point. If the measurements remain equal, lots will be drawn by a person independent of the admissions team. Where one child of a multiple birth can be admitted, the other child/children will also be admitted. Special consideration for all year groups For applications for all Nottinghamshire community and voluntary controlled schools the following groups of children will be given special consideration in their application for a particular school: • ‘Children whose particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or other social circumstances are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional stating that the school is the only school which could cater for the child’s particular needs. The evidence must be presented at the time of application.’ • T he appropriate designated officers will consider each case on its merits and determine the allocation of any such place on the basis of written evidence. Admission under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over all but the first numbered criteria. Home address The child’s place of residence is taken to be the parental home, other than in the case of children fostered by a local authority, where either the parental address or the foster parent(s) address may be used. Where a child spends part of the week in different homes, their place of residence will be taken to be their parent or parents’ address. If a child’s parents live at separate addresses ,the address where the child permanently spends at least three ‘school’ nights (i.e. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) will be taken to be the place of residence. Addresses of other relatives or friends will not be considered as the place of residence, even if the child stays there for all or part of the week. Evidence that a child’s place of residence is permanent may also be sought. The evidence should prove that a child lived at the address at the time of the application and will continue to live there after the time of admission. Informal arrangements between parents will not be taken into consideration. In all cases all those with parental responsibility must be in agreement with the preferences made. Looked after child The revised School Admissions Code 2012 Section 1, 1.7 has expanded on who should be given priority in admission arrangements with regards to looked after children and children who were previously looked after. A ‘looked after child’ or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, residence, or special guardianship order. A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being PROSPECTUS 2014-15 provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions in accordance with section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989. An adoption order is an order under section 46 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002. A ‘residence order’ is an order settling the arrangements to be made as to the person with whom the child is to live under section 8 of the Children Act 1989. Section 14A of the Children Act 1989 defines a ‘special guardianship order’ as an order appointing one or more individuals to be a child’s special guardian (or special guardians). Admission authorities must give highest priority to children in care in their admission oversubscription criteria. Parents • the mother of the child • an adoptive parent • the father of the child where he was married to the mother either when the child was born or at a later date • the father of the child if (since 1 December 2003) he was registered as the father on the birth certificate • any other person who has acquired ‘parental responsibility’ through the course. We may require evidence of this. Siblings (brothers or sisters) • a brother or sister who shares the same parents • a half-brother, half-sister or legally adopted child living at the same address • a child looked after by a local authority placed in a foster family with other school age children • a stepchild or children who are not related but live as a family unit, where parents both live at the same address. 9 Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L PROSPECTUS 2014-15 Special Educational Needs We endeavour to meet the needs of all learners by identifying their individual learning needs and the setting and sharing of targets with the children and parents. We work alongside outside agencies such as Speech Therapists, Dyslexia Consultants, Educational Psychologists, the School Nursing service, Physiotherapists, Dieticians and other professionals. Experienced and well qualified Teaching Assistants work in every class with individuals and groups of children of all abilities. Copies of our policies relating to SEND and Equality are available on the website. Care of the Children and the School Day Children are in the care of a responsible adult from 8.40 am until they leave school at 3.30 pm. The morning session is from 8.50 am to 12.00 noon, the afternoon session being from 1.00 pm to 3.30 pm. If children are late then they should enter the school via the main entrance and the late book completed. Lunchtimes/Food and Drink School Uniform Midday staff are trained in playwork and have a wide range of activities and games available – we have worked closely with the school council to ensure safe, happy and active playtimes. Children in school are expected to wear the uniform which is a source of pride and community identity to the pupils. PLEASEname all items! During the mid-day break a choice of meals, freshly cooked on the premises, are served in the dining area. Children may wish to bring a packed lunch. Water is available for all children and drinks other than water should not be brought in to school. - School dinners are provided for free for children from F2 to Y2, in line with the national incentive. Dinner money for children in years 3-6 is paid through the online SQUID system. Details are available from the school office. The menu is available in advance on our website or on school notice boards. We are proud of our Gold Healthy Schools status and we are aware that access to drinking water throughout the day benefits both children’s health and the capacity to learn. Children are encouraged to bring in a sealable, named drinking bottle which can be kept on their desk and replenished as necessary. Children may bring a healthy snack to eat at break times. We encourage children to eat healthily and fruit is provided free to children in FS and KS1. 10 PROSPECTUS 2014-15 grey skirt/trousers /pinafore/shorts white blouse/shirt/polo shirt red and white summer dress red sweatshirt/cardigan/fleece – available from Tesco website appropriate shoes (plain black trainers are acceptable but they should not be coloured or branded) should be worn in school although trainers are recommended for playtimes – storage is provided Children will need a kit for PE which should be in school at all times -w hite/red T-shirt (plain with no logos other than the school badge) - white or black shorts - full swimming costume/trunks (not baggy shorts) when swimming - tracksuit (or similar) and trainers are required for outdoor sessions. Jewellery should not be worn during any PE activity. For health and safety reasons children will not be allowed to take part in PE sessions if earrings/jewellery is worn. Children are expected to wear appropriate clothing when on a school visit and representing the school- this will usually be school uniform but we may recommend other clothing as appropriate to the activity. 11 Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L PROSPECTUS 2014-15 Medical Care Pupil Absence Behaviour and Welfare Where a medical appointment is made, or when an emergency occurs, parents are expected to contact the school to arrange collection of the children. No child will be allowed to leave the school premises during normal school hours unless collected by a parent or authorised adult. Parents are required to sign the appointments register in the school office when collecting their children whether during class time or break/lunchtimes. When absences occur, either for whole or part days, parents are requested to contact the school confirming the reason for absence. Holidays should not be taken during term time and will not be authorised, unless in exceptional circumstances. Please contact the school if you require any further information. The care and welfare of the children is “the cornerstone of our operation” and we firmly believe that good relationships and teamwork are at the heart of a successful school. Children are expected to behave in a respectful, sensible and orderly way at all times in the school, when representing the school and in the community. Teachers will not routinely administer medicine. Only prescribed medicines can be administered, when accompanied by a completed permission form. These are available at the school office. We need to be aware of allergies and other health issues- do keep us informed. The school has a behaviour policy and the Behaviour Code, ‘A Positive Approach’ was drawn up with the involvement of children, staff, parents and Governors. We believe that children learn best in an atmosphere of mutual trust, respect and understanding and our code reflects our belief in celebrating the positive whilst recognising that we all have rights and responsibilities. The school has established links, both formal and informal, with other bodies and institutions concerned with care, welfare, health and safety of children. During their time at the school, children will be seen by health and dental visitors to ensure that all is well or that the opportunity is given to parents for any treatment necessary. Children are taught to keep themselves and others safe through close links with St John’s Ambulance, the Fire Service and the Police. 12 PROSPECTUS 2014-15 Every school in Nottinghamshire is required to follow a set procedure in cases of suspected child abuse. Head Teachers have a statutory obligation to refer their concerns to Social Care for further investigation so that children at risk can be identified quickly. This procedure is intended to protect children from abuse. When a school refers concern to the Social Services Department, it is not accusing parents of any abuse but requesting that further investigation take place to establish whether the child is at risk. The school has a policy on sex and relationships education that involves the health community, parents and teachers. Children are taught at an appropriate level as they progress through the school. Videos concerning puberty are shown in years 4, 5 and 6 and it is normal practice for parents to be given an opportunity to view the material used prior to its showing to the children and they may request that their child be withdrawn from these sessions. All of the above policies are implemented for the welfare of the children but not to the exclusion of parents and the family. On the contrary, parents are fully informed of all care, welfare and safety advice given to the children and parental support is always sought. 13 Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L PROSPECTUS 2014-15 Religious Affiliation and Education Policy The school has no religious affiliation and will make arrangements for parents to exercise their right of withdrawal of their children from religious worship or instruction. Teacher Liaison, Visiting and Reporting Arrangements We have two Parents’ evenings per year and a written report is sent towards the end of the Summer term. However, should any concern arise, parents are encouraged to arrange a discussion with the class teacher at a convenient time. Parents are always welcome to visit the school, for any reason, but it would be helpful if contact could be made in advance to arrange a mutually convenient appointment, although in emergency immediate contact should be made. Before your child starts school you should complete the necessary contacts and medical information sheets and hand these in to the school office. Parental involvement is the essential lifeblood of a strong community based school such as Abbey Gates and many parents contribute to the working of the school by bringing their skill, interest and time to the benefit of the children, whether on a regular or one-off basis - we need you! Regular parent helpers are subject to a DRB check. PROSPECTUS 2014-15 Complaints The Governing Body Under the Education Act, there is a procedure, agreed by the Local Authority, for dealing with complaints about the school curriculum and other related issues. A copy of the full complaints procedure is available for reference in the school and on the website. We have fifteen Governors and the Full Governing Body and associated Committees meet termly. Governors act as “critical friends” to the Headteacher and the school. Essentially, there should normally be informal discussion with the Head Teacher and any other appropriate member of the teaching staff to attempt resolution to the complaint prior to recourse to the formal procedure. Thereafter, the procedure provides an opportunity for parents to write to the Governor responsible for complaints, who can be contacted through the school. In addition, the public have the right of access to Documents and Information under the Education Regulations 1989 and list of such information, which is available in the school, is on our website. Parents are encouraged to make use of this requirement in order to inform themselves of the objectives and workings of the school. Governors are available to talk to parents about any aspect of the school and we hold informal sessions where parents are invited to meet and chat informally with Mrs Cumberpatch and the Governors. Governors are also available to meet with parents at the school, during Parents’ Evenings. The Governing Body would emphasise that all matters relating to individual children’s education and other matters, should in the first instance, be discussed with the class teacher and/or the Head Teacher. Communication with parents is enhanced through the use of the ParentMail email and text system. Please let the school have note of your email address/mobile number. Copies of letters/information sent home are also available on the school website. 14 15 Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L PROSPECTUS 2014-15 Extended Schools Provision and Community Links Abbey Gates is able to offer before and after school child care on-site, between 7.30am - 6pm through our link with Longdale Nursery - an outstanding day care provider in Ravenshead. Full information on all of our Extended Services is available on our website, the notice-board near the school entrance and from Mrs Joy Dearden in the school office. The school places considerable value on the activities it offers outside the curriculum, both through school initiatives and in supporting activities within the community. There has been a School Council at Abbey Gates for over fourteen years. Elected representatives meet regularly and feedback from meetings is shared through assemblies. Recent initiatives have included the Friendship Stop in the playground and playtime games and activities. The school council also co-ordinate our varied fund raising events for the numerous charities we support. The Midday Supervisors hold interviews for older children who then take on roles of responsibility at lunchtimes. Older children run lunchtime clubs for other children. These have included tennis, dinosaurs, Spanish and drama! The children apply to run a club through the School Council. Enterprise skills are encouraged through the School Shop and Toast club! 16 Extra-curricular activities may vary from term to term and year to year - We currently offer dance, multi-skills, cross country, gardening, football, basketball, Mad Science, and yoga. Some of these are paid for by parents where there is an external provider. Sporting activities, particularly of a competitive team nature, encouraging participation, working together and leadership are fundamental to the school’s breadth of educational experience. We are proud to have been awarded a Gold Activemark for our commitment to PE. Cricket, cross-country running, swimming football, basketball, tennis, multi-skills, netball, tag rugby, orienteering and athletics are available at certain times during the school year. Additionally, cycling safety is taught in the summer term. Parents are always informed by letter about these activities, particularly since the majority are outside school hours when parents will be expected to make arrangements to collect/meet the children at the end of the sessions. In addition, the school has established links with societies and other institutions within the community, such as the Parish Council, St Peter’s Church, the Library Service, local groups for the elderly and childcare providers . The Ravenshead Rotary Club have funded our vegetable garden, Toast Club and supported our partnership with St Peter’s Primary school in Kampala, Uganda. A monthly column in the village newsletter strengthens our links with the community. PROSPECTUS 2014-15 Parent Teacher Association Car Parking All parents and teachers are members of our wonderful PTA – considerable sums are raised each year and every child benefits from improved play facilities, equipment, visits and visitors. The school has a staff car park within the grounds with a disabled parking bay. We have an arrangement with Ravenshead Village Hall for the use of its car park – immediately adjacent to the school entrance – for use at the start and end of school. All parents are warmly welcomed and invited to support the PTA by attending monthly planning meetings and/or supporting the many fund raising events held throughout the year. Being involved with the PTA is a marvellous way of not only supporting the school and meeting other parents but also of having fun! The school has a covered Cycle Parking Bay and children are encouraged to come to school on their bikes (parents should be assured of and are responsible for the children’s safety during the journey) Data Protection/Freedom of Information/ Charging and Remissions Policy Information on the above is available on our website 17 Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L Abbey Gates Primary School - S C H O O L PROSPECTUS 2014-15 Summary Of The National Curriculum Assessment Results Of Pupils In The School And Nationally At The End Of Key Stage 1 TEACHER ASSESSMENT Summary Of The National Curriculum Assessment Results Of Pupils In The School And Nationally At The End Of Key Stage 2 Percentage of pupils at each level W 1 2+ 2C 2B 2A 3 or above Disapplied children Absent children 0 0 100 13 33 23 30 National Percentage of pupils at each level Below Level 3* 3 4 5 Pupils not entered # Pupils absent 0 0 School 3 0 30 67 0 0 0 0 National 6 8 42 44 0 0 GRAMMAR, PUNCTUATION AND SPELLING READING School 0 0 100 20 30 13 37 0 0 School 3 13 13 70 7 0 National 2 9 89 10 24 26 29 0 0 National 6 20 25 47 2 N/A WRITING - Teacher Assessed WRITING School 0 10 90 30 30 10 20 0 0 School 0 3 33 53 20 0 National 3 12 97 18 30 22 15 0 0 National 4 13 51 30 2 N/A MATHEMATICS MATHEMATICS School 0 3 97 17 33 17 30 0 0 School 0 3 27 70 13 0 National 2 7 91 13 27 28 23 0 0 National 4 11 38 35 9 0 0 0 100 41 0 0 SCIENCE School National This table shows the percentage of eligible children at the end of Key Stage 1 achieving each level in the school in 2014.
