FOREWORDWe commend to prospective parents this booklet

about Bishop Parker School.

The Catholic School system has been built up over

the years at the cost of great sacrifice and effort on

the part of our people.

We are grateful for the Voluntary Aided Status

granted by law to our Catholic Schools. In a

Voluntary Aided School the majority of the governors

are Foundation Governors (i.e. those appointed by

the Bishop). Other governors are elected by the

parents, staff and teachers or appointed by the Local

Authorities. All work together harmoniously to

ensure that the school is a good school and a good

Catholic school, where our faith is learned and

practised in a caring and committed community.

We hope that parents will find in this booklet all they

need to know and that their children will spend many

happy years in Bishop Parker School.

b) Distance from the child’s normal home to the school as measured by the shortest, safest available

route from the front door of the child’s normal home to the school’s nearest entrance gate, using the

Local Authority’s computerised measuring system, with those living closer to the school receiving the

highest priority.

NOTE:

Children with statements of Special Educational Needs, naming Bishop Parker Catholic School,will be given priority for admission.

GENERALBishop Parker is a voluntary-aided Catholic school for boys and girls between 4 and 11 years of age.

There is also a Nursery Unit attached to the school for 39 children between 3 and 4 years of age who

attend on mornings 9-12noon, with optional lunchtime club 12-2pm.

The school was named in honour of the late Bishop Leo Parker and is owned by the Diocese of

Northampton and maintained by Milton Keynes Council. It was opened in September 1975.

From the age of 11 the children can continue their education at St Paul's Roman Catholic Secondary

School, sited in Leadenhall. There is close co-operation and liaison between the schools and visits to St

Paul's are arranged for children and parents during the final year at Bishop Parker.

Entry to the Main School will now take place in the September of the academic year in which the child

reaches his/her fifth birthday. This is in line with current council policy.

If the school is oversubscribed the list of criteria on Page 6 will apply.

VISITSA talk is given to parents of all children entering the school in the following academic year. The purpose

is to highlight the relevant areas and answer questions. Children visit the main school to meet the

teacher and experience the classroom environment.

Parents who are new to the area and wish to send their children to the school should phone for an

appointment. They will then be able to view the school and establish if there is a place in the

appropriate class group.

ABSENCESThe school now has to publish details about unauthorised absences for the year.

Please try to arrange dentist and optician appointments out of school time, however, if this is unavoidable, please request leave of absence in writing

Holidays: Parents are strongly urged to avoid booking family holidays during term time as it will disrupt theirchild’s education. There is no right to take a child out of school for such a holiday. However, if parents apply to their child’s school, in EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES they may be granted up to two weeks(10 days) absence in a school year. This request must be made at least two weeks before the holiday dates.



ENTRY TO THE SCHOOLEntrances and exits are from Barton Rd. and Hunter Drive. The Hunter Drive entrances will only be

open before and after school. If you need to visit the school at other times, please use the Barton Rd

entrance. Please use MKP car park to drop off and collect children from Barton Rd. If you park in Hunter

Drive, please be considerate to residents. Children coming from the Lakes Estate should approach

along the underpass and the access path into the playground.

Should you need to enter the school building, please go to the main entrance (by the office) and press

the buzzer. The door will be unlocked remotely so that you may then enter.

Children should not walk unattended through the car park. It is dangerous.



ORGANISATIONThere are 7 class groups. Most of the class groups are in their chronological group. (The year groups are

Reception, Years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6). Where children are placed out of their chronological grouping, parental

agreement is sought.

Nursery & Class R make up the Foundation Stage

Classes 1 & 2 make up Key Stage 1

Classes 3, 4, 5 & 6 make up Key Stage 2

As required, the National Curriculum is taught throughout the school. All subjects now have documentation

from the DCSF and this is followed. In Yr.2

and Yr.6, end of Key Stage 1 and 2, statutory

assessments are carried out and reported on.

A wide range of teaching methods are used

throughout the school. Whole class, group or

individual work is employed in

situations where that approach is deemed to

be appropriate.

Where a child has a perceived special need,

the school supports that need with the

resources that are available. If that need

cannot be met within the school then parents

are notified of the procedures and agencies

that are available to meet those needs.

BEHAVIOURChildren are expected to be well-behaved at all times. Simply by respecting everyone in the school

would ensure this happens. The expected behaviour pattern is based on Christian ideals and reflected

in the school's Mission Statement. Acceptable standards are praised and used to influence the good

behaviour patterns.

Sometimes children do not meet these acceptable standards and in these instances determined efforts

are made to modify their behaviour.

An ‘alert’ letter will be sent home if there are concerns about some aspect of any child’s behaviour.

Incidents of poor behaviour are dealt with, initially, within the school. Continuing poor

behaviour will be brought to the attention of parents. Sometimes parents are invited into the school to

discuss with the class teacher and headteacher how their child might best be helped. The school

attempts to adopt a positive attitude to poor behaviour but it is important that this is supported by a pos-

itive parental contribution if the problem is to be resolved satisfactorily.

PROPERTYThe school cannot accept responsibility for children's belongings brought to school. This means that

pupils have to accept responsibility for watches and other items brought to school.

Mobile phones are not permitted

Earrings and other jewellery must not be worn in school. If children have pierced ear lobes, one pair of

studs only may be worn at school, as earrings can be dangerous during games and playground

activities. No other jewellery is permitted.



Nurseries are concerned with the education and care of under 5s. The staff provide a carefully structured programme to stimulate the children and to cater for their individual needs, as set out in theFoundation Stage Curriculum.

The curriculum for the Foundation Stage underpins all future learning by supporting, fostering, promotingand developing children’s:

personal, social and emotional well-being

positive attitudes and dispositions towards their learning

social skills

attention skills and persistence

language and communication skills

mathematical skills

knowledge and understanding of the world

physical development

creative development

At Bishop Parker Nursery we follow a theme each half term in which we cover a wide range of activities.

The children's learning takes place through play-structured, play thus giving them a chance to explore,investigate and to use their imagination. We encourage the children to be self-motivated through allowing free play. We follow the ‘Here I Am’ programme for RE. We teach them simple prayers,how to make the sign of the cross, that God loves us and we also cover the main festivities in the churchcalendar.

NURSERY STATEMENT



CURRICULUM AIMSIn accordance with relevant legislation and guidance from the Secretary of State for Education,

the Local Education Authority, the Diocesan Religious advisers, and the Governing Body, we

aim to ensure a balanced and broadly based curriculum which:

promotes the spiritual, moral and cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the

school and in society; and

prepares pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.

Every maintained school must have a daily act of collective worship and each must provide a

curriculum which includes religious education and the National Curriculum, consisting of core

and foundation subjects

IntroductionThrough the curriculum offered at Bishop Parker Catholic Combined School we set out to

develop the skills and attitudes, which are acceptable in our society and to help each child

become a responsible and valued member of society.

The school has a clearly defined Mission Statement which supports the aims that follow this

paragraph. It is through these aims and the Mission Statement that the distinctive nature of the

Catholic school is realised. In part this is realised from the religious education programme and

worship but also, in part, from the life of the school and its members and the values that are

promoted and should therefore be found in every aspect of the curriculum and activities that are

pursued in the school.

Aims:1. To help pupils develop lively enquiring minds, the ability to question and argue rationally

and to apply themselves to tasks and skills.

2. To help pupils to acquire understanding, knowledge and skills relevant to adult life and

future employment.

3. To help pupils use language and numbers effectively.

4. To help pupils understand their environment and the interdependence of individuals,

groups and nations, leading to tolerance of other races and cultures.

5. To help pupils appreciate human aspirations and achievements.

6. As in all Catholic schools, the skills and knowledge promoted throughout are in

accordance with the teaching of Christ and the Catholic Church. We are concerned for

the spiritual and moral welfare of our pupils and attach great importance to the

home/school/parish links which are a feature of Catholic schools.

7. In the “hidden” curriculum to foster tolerance and understanding, compassion,

acceptance of criticism and duties involved in being a member of society.

8. And provide a curriculum which is broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated.



Methods to be used to deliver the aims:1. The delivery of a broad curriculum as specified in the various pieces of legislation

appertaining to education.

2. Adoption of the programmes set out by the relevant authority.

3. The involvement of parents in the learning process whenever possible.

4. Involvement of the community and local services to widen the scope of the children’s

experiences whenever possible.

5. Fostering positive attitudes to work and actively encouraging children to take a pride in

the presentation of their work via classroom acknowledgement and assemblies.

6. Enabling each child to experience success.

7. A School Council for Years 1 to 6

Almost all of what is taught is prescribed by the National Curriculum (NC). There are 11

subjects. Each subject and each key stage has a programme of study which sets out what

pupils should be taught.

The subjects are:Mathematics (Numeracy) Music

Science Geography

English (Literacy) History

Technology Italian

P.E. Art

Personal, Social & Health Education/Citizenship

ICT

Religious Education also has to be taught and is an essential element of this school’s

curriculum.

We have a happy and industrious school and set out to promote a caring community based on

mutual respect and tolerance. We foster habits of self-control and self-discipline based on

Christian principles.

Overall the main purpose of education at this level is to develop the basic skills of reading,

writing, listening, thinking and talking, so that the children are able to communicate with confi-

dence and pleasure.

SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS IN THE SCHOOLIf children are found to have ‘special needs’, the relevant SEN procedures would be followed.

Parents are consulted, as required, by the Code in force at the time a ‘need’ is diagnosed.

At Bishop Parker a substantial amount of support time is devoted to children on the special

needs register. This support makes quite an impact on the children’s achievement.



RELIGIOUS EDUCATIONThe religious education of our children begins at home with parents teaching children about the presence

of Christ in their lives. Our mission as Christians is not confined to religious lessons but is inherent in

every aspect of our lives in school.

When the children first come to school they are told stories about Jesus; about famous people in the Old

Testament, and how we must behave towards each other.

In Yr.3 the preparations for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion get under way and

parents are asked to share these important steps in their children's lives. Mass is celebrated in the

school hall on feast days and on other occasions. Sometimes a Mass is celebrated in the classrooms

and much of the Mass content is prepared by the children.

All the classes follow a religious education programme. From the nursery up to Yr.6 the "Here I Am"

Programme is followed. It provides opportunities for celebration and prayer, through stories, symbols,

places and activities appropriate to the ages of the children.

In planning and implementing our R.E. programmes, we are guided by the Diocesan Religious Education

Advisers and our parish priest.



MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGEWe are lucky to have a specialist teacher of Italian in Bishop Parker. As we have a significant number ofchildren who have an Italian background, this reflects the culture of a large group in the school. At present,each class group has between 30 minutes and 1 hour taught Italian each week.

TEACHING HOURSKey Stage 2 - 25 hrs, 50 minutes per weekKey Stage 1 - 24 hrs, 35 minutes per week

ACCESS TO DOCUMENTATIONCopies of the school documentation are kept in the school office.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENTIt is important that your child sees there is co-operation between home and school. If you have a problemthat is likely to affect your child in school please contact your child's class teacher. Should you have anygeneral queries please phone the school and you will be directed to someone who can give you ananswer.

HELP IN THE SCHOOLParents frequently help in the school with small groups, for cookery and craft activities. Help is also soughtfor school trips and related ventures. One of those ventures would be sports activities, when help is needed to take children to venues. If you feel you can help don't wait to be asked, please volunteer.Please note that all people working with or helping children need to have CRB clearance. Forms are available from the office.

FUND RAISING AND SOCIAL EVENTSThroughout the year several social events are arranged, some of them fund raising. Please support theseevents. Funds raised are used to provide equipment and facilities for the children to use or benefit from inmany ways.The Bishop Parker Friends' Association meets regularly and supports the school as a community. Its objectives are enshrined in a constitution. An Annual General Meeting is held each year at which a committee is elected.

CONTACT WITH SCHOOLAn appointment may be made to see a teacher after school at any time, if it is felt necessary. If you wishto see the Headteacher, then a telephone call in advance would be appreciated.Newsletters, giving term dates and events, are issued monthly to help you keep track of events.You, as a parent, will be contacted- if there is an emergency,- if the school is seriously concerned about progress or behaviour,- if your child is ill or involved in an accident.AN EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER should always be given.

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIESThe children are given the opportunity to take part in football, hockey, netball, basketball, athletics andother competitive games out of school time. Other extra curricular activities include singing, school council,karate, gardening, dancing, Rainbows, Italian. Parents are asked to encourage and support the children inthese out-of-school activities and help us to develop a sense of commitment and loyalty, which is importantas training for life.



Charges and Remissions Policy

1) GENERAL PRINCIPLES

In keeping with the declared aim within our Mission Statement of: Inspiring a Joy for Learning,the Governing Body of Bishop Parker Catholic School recognises the valuable contribution that a

wide range of additional activities, including clubs, trips and residential experiences, can make

towards all aspects of a child’s education.

The Governing Body accordingly aims to promote and provide, as far as is possible, such opportuni-

ties as part of a broad and balanced curriculum for the benefit of all children who attend the school.

2) CHARGES

During the school day, all activities that are part of the National Curriculum and Religious Education,

will be provided free of charge.

Where charges are considered appropriate, these will be based on the actual costs incurred by the

school in providing the additional activity, divided by the total number of children participating in the

activity.

There will be no levy on those who can and do pay, to support those who are unable to pay or simply

don’t pay.

The general principles of ‘Best Value’ will be applied when planning activities that incur costs to the

school and/or charges to parents.

Parents will be notified, in advance, of the appropriate costs of any chargeable activity. The inability

of a parent to pay the charge will not exclude the opportunity from their child, and parents may seek,

in confidence, for remission of the charge, in part or in full. (see paragraph 3 on Remissions below).

The Governing Body reserves the right to make a charge for activities such as these detailed below:

musical instrument lessons

school trips

residential experiences

clubs and activities outside school hours

The Governing Body may from time to time amend the categories of activities for which a charge

may be made. Nothing within this Policy precludes the Governing Body from inviting parents to make

a voluntary contribution towards the cost of providing a full and balanced education for their children.

3) REMISSIONS

The Governing Body may remit, in full or in part, the charge for such activities in cases where family

hardship makes it difficult for their child to take part.

The circumstances in which Remissions are authorised will be reviewed on an individual, case by

case basis.

Authorisation of any remission of charges will be made by the Headteacher on behalf of the

Governing Body. Governors will be kept informed through their Finance Committee or the amount of

any remissions and support agreed.

Neither the School nor the Governing Body hold specific funds for the remission of Charges and,

therefore, if there are insufficient financial contributions from parents to make the additional activities

viable, then the Governing Body reserves the right to cancel or postpone such activities.





MEDICINESAs far as possible we would prefer the children not to

be in school if they are taking medicine. (Please ask

for antibiotics that only need to be administered 3

times a day).

If the school agrees to administer medicines then the

following guidelines should be followed:

1. The medicines should be brought to school by

the parent and should be delivered personally to the

office. A consent form needs to be signed.

2. Medicines must be clearly labelled with

owner's name, dosage and some indication of time to

be taken. No unlabelled medicines will be accepted

or given to the children.

3. Antibiotics which need to be given 3 times a day should not be sent to school as it should prove

possible to administer them out of school time.

4. The required dosage will be given by the duty Welfare Assistant usually at 12.00 noon and this

will be recorded in the Medicine Book.

5. Children who use asthma inhalers normally manage their own medication, and this is

encouraged. If there is a need, a spare inhaler, labelled, can be left at the school.

In certain cases the school will ask the parent of the child to come into school to administer medicine.

TEACHER/PARENT CONSULTATIONS AND REPORTING

Consultation Sessions are organised every term. They are regarded as an opportunity for you to consult

your child's teacher about their progress, behaviour and have any questions answered.

An annual, written report is sent to parents before the Summer parents evening. The report format will

change from time to time to meet the various DCSF directives as to what should be included. In Yr.6 and

Yr.2 a separate report will include details of the Key Stage assessments when appropriate. Other years

will include a mixture of levels and comments about subjects.

COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE

Legislation requires Local Education Authorities to set up a complaints procedure in relation to the

curriculum and religious worship.

Basically the procedure requires you to:

1. Consult the school (teacher and Headteacher) first of all.

2. Then Chairman of Governors.

3. If these avenues prove to be unsatisfactory then a formal procedure via the LEA exists.

Copies of these procedures are available from school.



SEX EDUCATION

The school policy is to follow a programme that begins in the early years and ends in Yr.6. There will be

a number of elements in this programme.

Some aspects are dealt with as they arise in the Science National Curriculum programme. Here both

plant and animal reproduction processes have to be studied.

Additional input is part of the Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE). This area of the

curriculum deals with increasing self and social awareness. During Year 6 the children view videos of

the human reproduction system, as well as awareness of changes at puberty. At the same time, the

Parish Priest comes in to talk to the children about morals and the church's teaching in this area.

The overall aim would be to provide a balanced, pertinent and developmental programme that

addresses, appropriately, all the major issues.
