INTRODUCTION

This handbook is intended as a guide for parents and pupils on some of the main points of information about the day-to-day running of the Academy. The information contained in this handbook is correct at time of printing (Aug 2017) but is subject to change during the academic year. If you have any specific query, please contact the school by telephone or email as detailed on page 5.

We believe that it is important for parents, pupils and staff to work together and to communicate regularly so that the pupils can make progress and take full advantage of their education.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY In 1690 the silk merchant and Haberdasher, Robert Aske, left a substantial bequest for the provision of education. Since that time young people have benefited from his generosity and from the continuing support of the Haberdashers’ Company through its various schools.

The two schools in New Cross were founded in 1975. In 2004 the Federation of Haberdashers’ Aske’s Hatcham College (HAHC) and Haberdashers’ Aske’s Knights Academy (HAKA) was set up by the Company in order to increase the availability of an Aske’s education. Knights Academy was opened in September 2005 in Launcelot Road, Bromley. In 2009 Haberdashers’ Aske’s Crayford Academy (HACA) joined the

Haberdashers’ Academies Federation. In September 2013 the primary phase expanded by opening the North campus in Slade Green. Once HACA is fully operational, the Federation will offer excellent education to in excess of 4,000 children in South East London.

More information about the Haberdashers’ Company and its schools can be found at www.haberdashers.co.uk

SAFEGUARDING

All children deserve the opportunity to achieve their full potential. They are only able to achieve this if they live in a safe environment and are protected from harm. In recognising this, the Federation has procedures, of which all staff are made aware, for the protection of pupils and the handling of suspected cases of the abuse of pupils. A full copy of our Child Protection Policy can be found on our website. The schools position on reporting safe guarding issues has been included in the home/school agreement and has been included in the school handbook for your reference: “As a parent/guardian I understand that I am responsible for disciplining my children or those under my care when they are not in school. I fully understand and am aware that the use of physical force in disciplining them may be illegal in certain circumstances. This may include where an implement has been used, where the use of that force has resulted in injury and the use of prolonged physical stress positions. (This is where children are placed in a position of discomfort for a long period of time). I understand that in these circumstances the school has a statutory duty to report such incidents to Children’s Social Care and that the police may be asked to investigate.” If anyone connected to the Academy has any concerns about a child protection issue they should contact Mr Royston/Mrs Evans, Vice Principals, Designated Senior Persons for safeguarding.

PARENT MEETINGS

Parents and carers will regularly be informed of their child’s progress. In addition to periodic assessments at the end of the Christmas and Easter Terms, there will also be a full written report at least once during the academic year.

In both types of report, grades will be given for effort and attainment. They will also inform you of the targeted levels and the extent to which progress towards them is being made.

In addition to written reports, there will be opportunities to meet with subject teachers and tutors throughout the year. Appointments will need to be made via the online booking system. Please contact the examinations officer, Mrs McMahon if you require assistance with this.

The draft schedule is as follows:

All dates are correct at time of printing (August 2017) but are subject to change. Please check the newsletters for any amendments or contact the school if you wish to confirm any date.

Pupils are encouraged to attend with parents. Uniform must be worn on those occasions.

REPORTS AND ASSESSMENT OF PUPILS

During the year pupils will all be encouraged to set themselves targets in their different subjects, and review these targets at the start of each term. Tutors/class teachers will discuss and agree targets at the start of each term.

REPORTS EYFS are continually assessed and pupil progress is discussed with parents informally, throughout the year. Reports for all other pupils will be published on the Haberdashers’ portal throughout the year. KS1/2 will have published reports in December 2017, April 2018 and June 2018 All secondary pupils (KS3/4/5) will have at least two reports throughout the year one of which will be a detailed written report giving full information of a pupil’s progress and areas for improvement.

13

POINTS FOR PARENTS The points below must be checked regularly: A Supporting study

Set aside time each evening to hear your Primary child read/ Set aside some time each week to sign the Secondary Planner, to talk about what is going on at the Academy.

Check on independent study regularly to see that it is all being done, and which parts deserve praise or are causing problems.

Make sure they have a quiet place to study, and that they get into the habit of doing their independent study regularly before watching television or going out.

We undertake to give pupils every possible chance to improve and to treat everyone fairly.

Encourage pupils to develop an awareness of current affairs by reading a newspaper or watching the news.

Younger pupils should be sure to get a good night’s sleep, and for older pupils, the benefits of a Saturday job should be balanced with the need to commit themselves to much more extended private study.

B Parental support

Do not allow pupils to be late or absent without good reason - frequent days off will affect their performance, and may lead to bad habits later on.

Attend the Parents’ Evenings/Consultation meetings to talk about pupil’s progress.

Sometimes it will be necessary to correct pupils’ behaviour and we expect parents to support the Academy in this.

If there are any factors which may affect your child’s performance or well-being, please do not hesitate to let us know. We will treat all confidences with discretion and sensitivity.

Join the Parent Association and meet other parents. C Equipment

Check that their uniform is correct and smart, before leaving home for the Academy.

Make sure the pupils have the proper equipment especially a suitable bag for carrying books and belongings safely and effectively.

Please make sure that all their possessions are named including watches, calculators and pens - and that they do not bring anything valuable into school.

14

D Medication

Medications (such as asthma inhalers and epipens) that need to be left in the primary school for regular/emergency use should be noted with name, class/form and relevant dosage of the medication. Parents should ensure that medication held at the school is in date as the school cannot be held responsible for checking this. At the end of the academic year, any unused medication will be handed back to parents.

Epipens and inhalers for the Secondary pupils should be carried with them at all times. A spare epipen should also be left in the Office, clearly named.

E Mobile phones

Pupils are allowed to bring their mobile phones onto the Academy premises but the following must be noted:

o Primary children must hand their mobile phones to the office at the start of the day and collect them at after school

o Mobile phones must be switched off at all times during the Academy day. o Mobile phones must be stored / kept out of sight at all times during the school day. o Mobile phones and other valuables are brought onto Academy premises at pupils own

risk. The Academy cannot accept responsibility for lost or stolen items. o Radios, personal stereos and other electronic devices are not allowed in school.

F Printing and photocopying

Pupils are given a credit allowance to allow them to print or photocopy their work at school. This was a necessary action to minimise the wastage of paper and toner, make all users responsible for their usage and therefore reduce the printing costs to the Academy. Pupils are encouraged to save and send electronic copies and only print when necessary

Years 7 – 9 pupils are allocated £3 Years 10 – 13 pupils are allocated £5 as it is recognised that GCSE and A Levels may generate more requirement for printing

Printing costs (at August 2017): 2p/page for black & white 6p/page for colour

The credit allowance is sufficient for most students to cover the academic year. However, if a student has exceeded their allowance, extra credits can be bought, via ParentPay, to top up your child’s credits.

· Funds added to ParentPay will be allocated to the pupils account on a weekly basis. · There is a minimum of £5.00 per top up. · Cut off for top ups to appear on a pupils account for the following week is Thursday 4pm. · Students are responsible on checking their credit amounts. They are notified in a ‘pop up’ on

the desktop of the computer they are logged onto every time they print

15

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED BY KS3 AND KS4 PUPILS

1. A sturdy rucksack-style bag with two straps for carrying books / equipment. This should be large enough to hold A4 folders, able to keep all books dry and flat. Bags should be navy blue or black.

2. A pencil case containing the following items: o A fountain pen, rollerball pens or biros in blue or black ink to be used for all written work.

Pupils should always have at least one spare pen. (Eraser pens may be used, but no white correction fluid is permitted either in bottles or pens).

o A 30cm ruler (12”) o Rubber o Pencil-sharpener with a shavings container o Glue stick o Coloured pencils in basic colours and a basic set of felt tip pen o Clear plastic angle measurer or protractor, pair of compasses and set square.

3. 1 Memory Stick of at least of 1GB, clearly labelled with their name on the front and a document inside with their name.

4. Headphones for computer use.

5. A scientific calculator

6. A reading book for private study. (Pupils must always have a reading book with them.) USEFUL INDEPENDENT STUDY RESOURCES

1. Collins “Spanish Easy Learning Dictionary”.

2. ‘Pocket’ English Dictionary – Collins or Oxford. PLEASE NOTE: We expect pupils to treat their own possessions and also school equipment with equal care and respect.

Books and items of school equipment are provided on the understanding that the pupils take care of them. Pupils who damage or lose school property are required to meet the cost of replacement.

Some subjects may require special equipment e.g. an overall, and details will be provided by subject teachers at the start of term.

All items of personal property should be marked with the owner’s name.

Pupils are not allowed to borrow other pupils’ property for any reason without the owner’s direct permission.

16

MARKING

Regular and constructive marking is undertaken. There is consistency, whilst allowing flexibility to meet the differing needs of departments. Marking is formative as well as summative. The key objectives are:

To give feedback on pupils' progress and to help them set targets

To identify gaps in their knowledge and understanding

To provide motivation for improvement

To help form the next stage in the teaching programme

In order for parents to gain an understanding of the marking codes they are listed below:

Sp check spelling C missing capital letter fs put in missing full stops // new paragraph needed Q add quotation Gr incorrect grammar P punctuation

Exp improve expression + add to this point

PARENTS / CARERS The part that parents and carers have to play in pupils achieving their full potential cannot be overstated, particularly in the area of independent study.

The Academy expects parents / carers to support independent study in the following ways:

Provide a reasonably peaceful, suitable place in which independent study can be done.

By checking and signing the secondary planner each week OR

By checking the primary newsletter each week

By asking each day what independent study has been set.

Show pupils that they value independent study by explaining how it can help them make progress and achieve.

By praising pupils when independent study is completed.

To attend Parent Consultation meetings.

17

ATTENDANCE

Pupils should aim for a consistently high attendance rate; the target is a minimum of 97% for all pupils over the course of the academic year. The Academy must be informed of any unavoidable absence by means of a phone-call or e-mail before 9:30am on the day of absence, followed by a letter to the class teacher/form tutor when the pupil returns. Medical or dental appointments should not be made during school hours, including Enrichment times, unless this is absolutely unavoidable. An appointment card or note should be presented to the class teacher/form tutor beforehand if this is the case. A child who is late will be expected to attend a Late Detention with their Head of Year. Parents will be informed by text and it is therefore important that the school has the most up to date mobile numbers. Any pupil who feels ill during School hours must report to their site office. Pupils may not go home without permission from their Head of Year, Head of Key Stage or member of Crayford Leadership Team (CLT), and under normal circumstances pupils will not be allowed home unaccompanied.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE Holidays are not allowed during term-time, as this is disruptive to both the pupil and to the group, especially where coursework is concerned. The Government has made it clear that schools should not authorise any leave of absence during term time unless there are very exceptional circumstances. If a parent/carer wants leave of absence for their child, they should seek permission well in advance. Letters regarding leave should be addressed to ‘The Academy Principal/Primary Head Teacher’ and sent to Ms Ollis. We reserve the right to refer specific unauthorised absences to our Education Welfare Service, who may deem it appropriate to issue a fixed penalty notice.

HELP, GUIDANCE AND ADVICE FOR PUPILS

The Academy has a system of Pastoral Support Managers, whose main role is to reduce barriers to learning and check on absence and lateness. In addition home visits will be made as appropriate. Any pupil with worries about their work or emotional problems can contact the Pastoral Support Managers. They can give advice and support, with all kinds of strategies, to help cope with difficulties.

18

REWARDS AND SANCTIONS

The Academy philosophy is to encourage a high level of motivation and self-discipline in the pupils. Also important is the realisation of the consequences of different behaviour, both in terms of the effect on the individual and on the other pupils.

Rewards Rewards will be given for particularly good work, or for putting in a lot of effort, maintaining a high standard of work or for being especially helpful. They may be obtained for outstanding work in any area including sport, music or drama, for particular helpfulness or effort. Children from all phases may also be recognised at the Academy Speech Day/Prize Giving at the end of the academic year. In the Secondary phase these will be given in the form of House Points. Bronze, Silver and Gold merit awards will be awarded, as appropriate, at the end of each term. In the Primary phase, children can be recognised by their teachers and move up the diamond. This success is noted in an ‘Achievement Assembly’ where they will receive certificates to take home and share with their family. The children can also be given House Points, stickers or stamps and may be asked to show their work to a senior member of staff.

Sanctions Sanctions may be given by members of staff for reasons such as not completing independent study, forgetting the right books or equipment, poor behaviour or otherwise contravening the Academy Behaviour Plan. Details will be entered into the pupil planner/on the school MIS and this may be followed up by:

Head of Key Stage/Lead Practitioner/Class teacher/form tutor/subject tutor detention - as and when judged appropriate – before school (usually for punctuality issues), break, lunch time, after school.

19

OUR REWARDS SYSTEM – HOUSE POINTS TOTAL Outstanding behaviour and effort around the school community will be rewarded using House Points. Each HP has its own identity, representing one of our core values: aspiration, achievement, personal responsibility, self-discipline and mutual respect.

SECONDARY How will I know if I am doing something really well?

20

THE HOUSE SYSTEM The House System is an integral part of life at the Academy and aims to provide a sense of competition and fun through a range of academic, community, creative, cultural and sporting activities. All pupils and members of staff are members of one of the four houses which are named after significant figures in the history of the sponsors of the Primary phase, The Temple Grove Trust. Every pupil’s House can be identified by their school tie colour; Bell (yellow), Grenfell (red) James (blue) and Walker (green). Each House has a Head of House: Secondary

Bell Mr Aremu Grenfell tbc

James Mrs Woodgate Walker Mr Samjawon

Primary

Bell Miss Macklem Grenfell Ms Green

James Mrs Wessels Walker Mrs Raven

At the beginning of each academic year elections are held to appoint pupil representatives; House President and Vice President Creative, Communication, Community, Sports and Temple Grove, to take responsibility and organise the House events. The House programme provides opportunities for pupils of all ages to take responsibility, work as part of a team, face new challenges and acquire new skills. The diverse programme is designed to add breadth and depth to the pupils’ own interests and experiences, as well as provide the opportunity to be mentored and to support others. The distinct ethos underpinning our house system and unique characteristics within each house will help pupils to develop strong personal values.

INCLUSION Crayford Academy provides teaching and learning that enables all children to attain and achieve through a broad, balanced and appropriately differentiated curriculum. The aim is to ensure all children are appropriately supported in order that they may work confidently towards reaching their potential. Policy and practice reflects the philosophy and fundamental principles within the new Special Educational Needs Code of Practice 2014 and the Equality Act 2010. All pupils have individual needs and we wish to support and encourage them to fulfil their potential by ensuring that teaching staff have the necessary skills to raise the levels of achievement of all pupils, including those with SEN. Pupils who require individual and/or specific support and guidance may be referred to the SENCO for advice and input. Occasionally pupils may need to be referred to external Early Intervention Team for specialist advice. The inclusion team (which includes the SENCO, SEN teacher, Lead ASD teacher, Head of Key Stage and Pastoral Managers, Heads of Year) works closely with parents as partners in the education of their children and will keep them informed at each stage. Parents are encouraged to contact their child’s form tutor or class teacher in the first instance with any concerns in order for matters to be directed to the most appropriate member of staff.

MORE ABLE PROVISION The Academy fosters particular abilities for the more able pupils, within the classroom and externally via other initiatives. We will also provide early examination entry in certain subjects for pupils who have specific strengths.

SEN

Purpose Meeting the Needs To make sure that pupils’ needs are identified

Assessment procedures used in every year group, to identify those who may need help in class to overcome barriers to learning, or access to additional provision from the school’s provision map

To make sure that pupils’ needs are assessed and met

SENCO trains/coaches colleagues in use of assessment tools and data. School policies set out what is expected of all staff

To help staff and pupils identify key learning targets

Process of individual target setting for all pupils through Periodic Assessment. SENCO advises colleagues on how to choose appropriate learning objectives for pupils functioning below expected age-related levels

To ensure effective strategies are put in place to support the pupil

SENCO provides training and advice to colleagues on what works for pupils with learning or behaviour difficulties

To ensure that parents/carers are aware of what the school is doing to help their child and to what effect

Interventions are reviewed with the appropriate member of staff. Regular testing/assessment of progress is reported to parents

To make sure that parents/carers know how they can continue to support at home

Parents attend meetings, open evenings, options events and parents’ evenings. Liaison between subject specialists, tutors, specialist staff and parents is purposeful. Two-way communication through pupil planner, letters, phone calls or email.

To ensure that all relevant staff know what the pupil’s needs are and how they can help him or her improve their learning

Pupils take responsibility, with help, for recording general information and key personal targets in planners/notebooks, and sharing these with those who teach them. School staff are regularly updated with relevant information regarding pupil’s identified needs together with classroom strategies and advice.

To ensure continuity when pupils move from one class or school to another

Clear policy on transfer of personal and curriculum records on all pupils.

To direct the deployment of limited school resources to the individual pupils with the greatest need

The school plans its provision map strategically, on the basis of termly and annual data analysis and forecasting of need in each year group/class.

To demonstrate action at school level as a condition to seeking help/advice for EHC plans.

The school has policies in place to show the systems used for screening, assessment, target setting and monitoring individuals’ progress.

32

USE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING WEBSITES AND PERSONAL MOBILE DEVICES

There has been a dramatic growth in internet communication via social networking websites such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. This is alongside an increased accessibility to the internet using phones or tablets (such as the iPhone and iPad) with fast internet access.

The internet is a great tool for research, communication, and learning, and is often used in this capacity within school. Unfortunately there can also be offensive, obscene and insulting comments being made by pupils on social networking websites, often with regards to, and directed towards, other pupils. Facebook is the most frequently used site, but there are others such as Ask.fm which allows pupils to post comments anonymously.

When friendship issues arise online, pupils tend to be far more antagonistic towards each other, with the lack of face-to-face interaction generating a sense of impunity. Furthermore, because any insults made are in the public domain, they are there for all to see, which means that other pupils in the year group are drawn into the dispute. The feelings of resentment and bitterness generated by comments posted online invariably come up in school the next day, and cause various arguments which can be difficult to resolve.

As a school we are very concerned by these issues, and have gathered from some that this concern is shared by parents. It has been noted that some parents would like further guidance on how to monitor their children’s’ use of social networking and online or mobile communication. Below are listed some ideas that parents elsewhere have found helpful. They are by no means steadfast ‘rules’, but we hope that they provide a further source of guidance for all.

Recommendations:

Use of computers and laptops It is recommended that computers, laptops and tablets are not kept in your children’s bedrooms, and instead in communal areas where you can see what they are looking at online – this is particularly the case at night when they may be likely to stay up late posting and reading comments.

Mobile phones It is recommended that mobile phone usage is monitored closely – again, this is particularly the case at night. There are many parents who take their children’s phone and tablet from them when they go to bed and give it back to them in the morning. This is a very successful strategy, encouraging openness and trust, and is strongly advised.

Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and other social networking sites It is recommended that parents have access to what is being said by their children on Facebook. In some cases parents have their child’s passwords which can be helpful. Others are “friends” with their children which is also a successful strategy. We are aware that it isn’t possible to monitor everything that your child posts online, and that it is important that pupils are given some privacy, but it is advisable that you are able to access the content of this communication if necessary.

To summarise, we present these recommendations as guidance, and hope that you find them useful. Crayford Academy prides itself on having a strong community ethos, which encourages openness, honesty and sharing, and we are entirely committed to the safeguarding of our pupils. We ask that you as parents/carers are proactive in dealing with any issues that arise out of school from social networking sites and personal mobile devices.

PUPIL VOICE

The Academy encourages its pupils to take an active role in the development of their school and education and thus a pupil body has been created for this purpose lead by the Head Girl and Head Boy. Within the primary schools this pupil body is known as the Pupil Council, whilst in the Secondary phase it is represented by the Pupil Voice. The pupils are elected by their peers for these roles and the elected pupils take part in the leadership of the Academy and contribute to the visions and aims of the Federation. Each class has an elected representative. Within the Secondary phase each year group elects a Pupil Voice Executive from the class representatives. The Pupil Voice and School Council meet regularly to discuss issues and ideas which are then shared with the Senior Leadership team and staff for further discussion and development.
