Working together in harmony to develop

confident, well-educated learners with healthy minds

and bodies, who are independent, resilient,

motivated and committed to lifelong learning

Creating harmony through:•RESPECT – Respecting diversity, showing tolerance and valuing individuals.•RESPONSIBILITY – Being accountable for and reflecting on one’s actions and decisions.•INTEGRITY – Being honest, trustworthy and courageous to do the right thing.•COMPASSION – Caring through our actions and words, tempered with fairness and justice for all.•HUMILITY – The courage to admit when one is wrong, admit when one does not know the answer, and recognise when one’s ideas are not always the best.

Schools are required to demonstrate how we tackle extremism and promote community cohesion. Our values are shared concepts amongst all religions, showing our children that although we are all different, we all share principles.We actively show children that all beliefs and cultures have equal value. •Each year we visit different places of worship (including our Year 3 Christmas assembly in St Andrew’s church) and encourage all children to attend.•We invite visitors from different faith groups to speak to the children about their beliefs.•International evening.•The countries project.•RE & collective worship lessons.•Flags We are a multi-faith school and love to learn and understand each others ideas and beliefs. We need your support in ensuring our children grow up learning to show respect to the beliefs of others.

Week

Assessment 2015-16• New National Curriculum 2014 - levels have been removed and are not being replaced.• Teachers will continue to track pupils’ progress and will report to parents during Parent’s

Evening on this.• As well as daily tracking, your child will be tested at three stages throughout the year, w/c

19th October 2015, 8th February 2016 and 13th June 2016.• Children will be assessed, using the National Curriculum, to find out whether they are

working at the standard expected for their age (Their Age Related Expectation - ARE)

• 3 assessment categories:- Emerging - your child is not currently attaining at the year group’s ARE and is working towards them.- Expectant - your child is currently attaining the year group’s ARE.- Exceeding – your child is currently attaining higher than the year group’s expectations.

• Year 2 and Year 6 will take the SATs as normal (Reading, Writing, Maths and Grammar) and will be given an assessment category at the end of the year.

Things your child will need for school

• Red Book bags need to come to school EVERYDAY for guided reading books and to share letters with you. If you have a reply can you ensure it is given to your child instead of being left in the book bag as there is limited time for teachers to check every book bag and we want to give more responsibility to the children.

• Full school uniform including black sensible shoes. EVERYTHING SHOULD BE LABELLED!

• Labelled P.E kits need to come to school at the beginning of the year and they should stay at school, they will be used as a change of clothes and for PE and will be sent home when dirty.

• Please label your child’s book-bags, PE kits as well as whole school uniforms and ensure your children can recognise their own name.

• Velcro fastening shoes would be most appropriate as many children cannot do up their own laces.

• Your child will only need their red book bag. No additional bags are needed. Children should not bring in rucksacks. Named Water Bottles should not be put in book-bags.

Support your child at home

• Reading – Reading is a key area this year in Reception. It is vital that you support your children at home. Guided reading books will be given out weekly on a Monday. We will run a workshop to show you ways to support your children at home. We will need a £5 deposit from everyone which will be returned when your child leaves the school. You should try to read daily with your child.

• Practise all the sounds and Reception high frequency words with your children. Every week your child will be given all the sounds and key words learnt that week at school. Please practise at home.

• Please encourage your children to write their names independently, using a capital letter and then lower case.

• Homework - We will inform you weekly about what children have been learning about in school so you can consolidate their learning at home.

• Please join a library with your child its free and they will have access to loads of books.

Try to speak to your child in English at home, alongside your home language to develop their understanding.
