Statement of Policy

 

The school's curriculum meets the demands of the National Curriculum as laid down in the 1988 Education Act.  The Act states that the following subjects should be offered to all children: Mathematics, English and Science as core subjects, Technology, History, Geography, Music, Art and P.E. as foundation subjects.  The Governors have also accepted the LEA statements of policy and the curriculum has been formulated to take account of these documents.

 

The teaching of Religious Education follows the guidelines laid down by "The County Durham Agreed Syllabus" presented in the document "Growing in Understanding".

 

All of the curricular aims and policies of the school have been formulated by the Governing Body and are available for inspection upon request to the Head Teacher.  However, the broad aims are as follows:

 

            *          To establish and maintain an environment which helps pupils to develop lively enquiring minds, the ability to pose appropriate questions, to apply themselves to tasks, and physical skills.

 

            *          To help pupils to communicate their thoughts clearly and effectively by their appropriate use of language and number.

 

            *          To involve the children in other areas of experience and learning, thereby helping pupils to acquire knowledge and skills relevant to future life and thereby understand the world in which they live.

 

            *          To encourage respect for religious and moral values and a social awareness whereby the children can accept other peoples' race, religion and way of life.  To have a sense of right and wrong.

 

            *          To work in partnership with parents, involving them in school life so as to achieve the above aims.

 

            In addition to the above there are nine specific areas of learning:

 

            1.  Aesthetic and Creative.

            2.  Human and Social.

            3.  Linguistic and Literary.

            4.  Mathematical.

            5.  Moral.

            6.  Physical.

            7.  Scientific.

            8.  Spiritual.

            9.  Technological.

 

The above form part of a mainly topic-based approach, which delivers the National Curriculum and also enables the child to connect and make sense of the distinct areas of the curriculum.

 

Statement of Curricular Aims and Objectives for the Under Fives

 

General aims:

 

1. To make the transition into school from the home or Nursery as secure and happy an  experience as possible, creating a friendly, caring environment where the children feel happy, secure and welcome

2.      To invite parents into the school and invite them to take an active part in school life and their child’s progress.

 

3.      To provide a curriculum that is broadly based and appropriate to the development of the individual child using a wide range of learning experiences as defined by the Early Learning Goals as specified in the Foundation Stage requirements.

 

  1. To keep records of the child’s work and progression and to identify areas of concern and needs.  Such records to be discussed with the child’s parents.

 

  1. To promote in the children a caring, thoughtful attitude toward others.

 

  1. To administer and collate results of Baseline Assessment Tests on entry and at the end of Reception Year in order to formulate future target setting

 

  1. To foster the growth of independence, confidence and self-esteem through the recognition of individual worth.

 

We aim to cater for these needs through:

 

·      close liaison with Heathfield Nursery School, which the majority of our Reception intake attends.

·      staff liaison - regular visits by senior staff of both schools to discuss children and their individual needs.

·      exchange visits between Nursery and Infant staff.

·      joint In-Service Training between the schools as appropriate.  Liaison with other Nursery schools and Early Years Providers where necessary.

 

Heathfield Nursery children are invited to visit the Primary School for various events e.g. to watch plays and Christmas activities.  Also, inter-school visits by Infant and Nursery school children to look at display work.

 

In the final term at the Nursery:

 

            The Key Stage 1 (Infant) co-ordinator discusses the new intake children with the Nursery Head Teacher and staff to establish:

 

·      individual special needs and requirements

·      friendship groupings for the new classes

 

Reception Teachers visit Heathfield and contact feeder Nurseries to:

 

·      discuss children with staff

·      meet new intake

Children:

 

·      Heathfield Nursery children make weekly visits with the Nursery staff to experience P.E. and Dance activities in the Infants’ hall

·      Visit their Reception class with their Nursery teacher

·      All children are invited to come with their parents to sample a school lunch and meet the lunchtime supervisors and cooks.

·      Parents are invited to school for a short talk outlining the ethos and teaching aims of the school and are given information and a prospectus about the school.

 

The National Curriculum and the Under Fives

The learning experiences offered to Reception Class children are extensions of good Primary practice, building upon the developing needs of the pupils in preparation for the more formal aspects of the National Curriculum.  A selection of topics is studied by each of the year groups, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, structured in such a way as to cover for the requirements of the Foundation Stage.

 

Reception children also follow a series of topics working at their own level alongside others.  Study of the topic is through discussion, structured play and practical activities, coupled with exploration of the immediate environment.  In addition to topic work there is a systematic approach to the teaching of Reading, Writing and Number work, according to the abilities of the individual child, in line with the National Numeracy Strategy and the National Literacy Strategy.

 

 Provision is also made for Reception children to have access each day to the hall to use large equipment for construction and play, physical education, dance, music or drama.

 Detailed records are kept of the children’s progress, attainments and special needs, such records being available for discussion with parents:

 

·      A pupil profile is drawn up which includes details such as attendance, intellectual skills, relationships within school, physical development and emotional behaviour

·      Separate attainment records are kept

·      Special needs and medical records are kept where necessary

 

            All such records are passed on through the school with the child.

 

Great emphasis is placed on regard for the environment and caring for others by being thoughtful and kind.  Children are taught to

 

·  Tidy up and take care of classroom equipment

·  Respect other children’s belongings

·  Care for their immediate school environment by keeping playgrounds  free of litter and keeping cloakrooms tidy

·  Treat wildlife and plants around the school with care

 

Throughout the school, older pupils are encouraged to set a good example and to look after younger children.

 In brief, children joining our school are to be cared for, to be integrated gently and in an individual manner as appropriate.  They should be led into being part of a community, a community which shows care for others and care for its own environment.
