A WARM WELCOME TO ALL PARENTS OF FULNECK SCHOOL PUPILS

Dear Parents, We are delighted to welcome you to our community of Fulneck Junior School. It is a place of educational excellence and enjoyment, at which we develop the individual talents of every child and celebrate their success. Fulneck nurtures each and every child in a safe, secure and beautiful environment. It is our goal to make their time here an enjoyable and successful one; excellence and enjoyment for all ages and abilities. Only through a close partnership with you is this possible and we do hope that you will, and encourage you to be, an integral part of our community so that the relationship between home and school is a strong, open and productive one. We have prepared for you a document about the day-to-day running of the school but it is not to be seen as a replacement for direct communication between home and school. Please take the time to chat with your child’s Form Teacher should you require any further clarity on everyday issues. The Staff here are always available to talk with you about any issues concerning your child’s life at FJS and would welcome the opportunity to do so regularly.

The school calendar is full of activities, fixtures and events. We do hope that you will take every opportunity you can to share in your child’s life and successes at their school, at your school, at our school. Yours sincerely Mr C P Bouckley Head of Junior School

SAFEGUARDING AND SECURITY As part of our arrangements to ensure the safety and security of pupils and staff within school, we must insist that all visitors, including parents, wear their security badges at all times whilst on the campus so that the children know you are an official visitor. Should you forget your badge please report to the main school Reception to collect a visitor’s badge and sign in. Outside doors throughout the school are protected by security keypads; parents will be informed of the door code when or if they need to enter one of the school buildings. Please do not under any circumstances enter a school building without checking in at Reception. Traffic on Fulneck is an ongoing concern. We share the Settlement with the residents and ask parents to refrain from parking, waiting or dropping off in areas marked with an ‘R’, which are the personal parking areas for the residents. Please note, just beyond the Reception we have one marked disabled bay shared between the School and the Settlement and we request that this space is used only by blue badge holders. The East End car park is for parents to use during the school day to drop off and collect the young children in our Junior School. We request that Senior School parents drop children off at the entrance to the Settlement or the horseshoe area at the West End. If you are driving through Fulneck, please be aware that children will be crossing the road; adhere to our speed limits and observe zebra crossings. Fulneck is a private and narrow road and, therefore, the following arrangements apply:

A ONE-WAY SYSTEM OPERATES, with traffic travelling from the Fartown end of Fulneck to the Bankhouse end. In the case of heavy snowfall this system may be temporarily discontinued and a notice will be posted on such occasions.

The safety of the children is paramount, and we ask parents to drive slowly and considerately on the Fulneck road at all times, being aware of the crossing points. Parents are asked to be sensitive to the needs of the Fulneck residents who live on the Settlement, and to remember that there must be access for fire or ambulance services at all times along the whole length of Fulneck.

School policies, including the complaints policy, are available on the school website, or can be requested from the main school Reception).

CONTACTING STAFF We hope that if you have any concern about your child in any area of School life you will not hesitate to contact us, however minor your concern might seem. If you phone the main School Reception, the office staff can ask a member of staff to call you back at a convenient time or provide you with the appropriate email address. The email addresses of all the teaching staff are also available on the school website. We would ask that you contact the Class teacher in the first instance as he/she is the person who will see your child most frequently. If they are unable to deal with your concerns, he/she will pass you on to someone who is in an appropriate position to help you. This might be the Head of Pastoral Care or the Deputy Headteacher (Mrs Lewis). Alternatively, you may wish to speak to one of the Senior Leadership team: Vice-Principal (Juniors): Mr Bouckley Principal: Mr Taylor

ABSENCE Regular school attendance is of the highest importance and a legal requirement for pupils of compulsory school age. The school is implementing government guidelines with regard to absence and is required to make returns annually of the number of authorised and unauthorised absences. Absences are authorised by the Head of Junior School and include absences due, for example, to illness, emergency medical/dental appointments, religious festivals, study leave initiated by the school. Should you require your child to be out of school for some reason known to you in advance a request for absence, stating the reason, should be made in good time in writing to the Head of the Junior School for authorisation. Under Government legislation (2013), we are no longer allowed to authorise absence for family holidays in term time. We would, therefore, stress the need to adhere to term dates when booking flights and holidays. If in exceptional circumstances leave of absence in term time is required, parents should write directly to the Principal for this to be authorised. All absences should be covered by an absence note. If your child is absent he/she should bring a note on the day of return specifying the reason for absence. If your child has been ill the exact nature of the illness should be given. Your child's name and the dates of absence should be stated clearly. In the case of any absence longer than three days, the school should be informed of the exact nature of the illness or other reason for absence and, if possible, when the child is expected to return. On returning a note should be brought, as stated above. However, please try to telephone the school on the first day of absence in order that teaching staff are made aware of the situation.


Should your child need to be out of school for part of a session a note to the Class Teacher (possibly in their planner) should be brought in advance and the child should sign in, with you at Reception. Wherever possible, please arrange hospital/dental appointments in the holidays.

LATENESS We are required to record lateness. An adult explanation, written or spoken, is needed for our records. As well as being disruptive, lateness embarrasses and upsets many pupils. If pupils arrive late or return from an appointment during the school day, they are required to go, with you, immediately to sign in at the office. For Early Years pupils, we would also ask that you then accompany them to their particular classroom. If a child is persistently late a letter of explanation will be required by the Head of Junior School.

APPEARANCE Pupils should always look tidy, clean and smart in school and when travelling to and from school. The School requests parents to ensure that their child attends in the correct uniform. A uniform list is published separately in this booklet. It is hoped that parents will co-operate in encouraging their children to develop a sense of pride in their own appearance with regard to hair, tidiness, etc. If items of uniform worn are non-regulation, an appropriate letter will be sent home. Year 1-6 pupils are required to wear a blazer at all times when travelling to and from school. Any pupil who attends school unsuitably dressed or with an unacceptable hairstyle, may be sent home. Hairstyles must be reasonable; shaved hair designs, hair that is shorter than a grade 2 or use of hair products is not acceptable. Hair colouring of any sort is not allowed. Pupils with hair beyond shoulder length should have it tied back with blue or black ribbons or bobbles. Hair grips and hair bands should be plain when required to keep hair out of eyes/off faces. There should be no transfer tattoos, make-up, or nail varnish. Jewellery is also forbidden. Ear studs or earrings should not be worn for Health and Safety reasons. If children have to have their ears pierced we ask that this is done at the beginning of the summer holiday in order for them to be completely healed by September. When pupils go on a school visit, it is their responsibility to enquire of the member of staff leading the party how they should be dressed. We hope parents will help the school in emphasising the importance of maintaining these standards which reflect upon the school, the child and their family.


ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS Early Morning Arrangements The decision to close is taken rarely and reluctantly. Even if the school is officially closed, any pupils who do arrive will be welcomed and looked after for as long as is needed. Local radio stations will be informed if the school is to be closed and we will communicate with parents via our texting and email system. In School Activities in school depend on the numbers of pupils and staff. Examination classes, even if small, take priority and will be taught if staff are available. Other pupils will be taught or occupied with activities, depending on numbers. It is not possible to keep to the regular timetable if several staff cannot get in and if there are very small numbers in the classes. Finally The best advice for parents is - decide whether to send your son or daughter according to your own conditions and your own judgement. You know what your weather and roads are like; they vary throughout the very wide area from which pupils come. Closing School Early Whenever possible school will continue as normal, but occasionally in severe weather conditions we may feel it is necessary to send children home early. In these circumstances we will ensure that we communicate with parents. If at any time you are concerned about the weather conditions and feel that you need to collect your son/daughter early, we would prefer you to come to school without telephoning first. This avoids the telephone lines becoming jammed and allows staff to obtain information about the state of the roads and to make transport arrangements. When you arrive at Fulneck to collect your son/daughter, if there is a sign saying ‘Road Ahead Closed’, park at the end of Fulneck and walk to the School Office to collect your son/daughter.


COLLECTION OF PUPILS

Year 1 and 2 pupils should be collected from their classroom corridor. Year 3-6 pupils should be collected from either their classroom corridor or from the lobby area by Ingham Wing. Supervision of day pupils outside normal school hours An extended day facility is provided after 3.45pm. Years 3-6 have a ‘homework club’ (late class) and Pre-School – Year 2 have a late class. Children will be given a snack and will have structured time to play or do their homework. Pupils will be supervised at all times. Due to Ofsted regulations for the care of children under 8 years of age a charge will be made for supervision. From September the charge for the Pre-School-Year 2 late class will be £2.30 per hour or part thereof. Pupils should be collected from late class by 6.00pm, please make sure that you inform the late class staff that you are taking your child. If for any reason, and this should only be in exceptional circumstances, parents are later than 6.00pm when coming to collect their child, then please note that from this time the child will be taken into the Girls’ Boarding Area. Access to this area is through the main entrance. The duty mobile for Girls’ Boarding is 07834 258663. For pupils collected after 6pm we make a charge of £10 for the first 15 minutes and £20 thereafter. In the event of an emergency or change of arrangement after school - the mobile telephone numbers for the late rooms are Early Years (Pre-School – Year 2) 07834 519725 and Prep (Years 3–6) 07834 519724.

COMMUNICATIONS (HOME/SCHOOL) As stated in the Junior School mission statement, we believe that education is very much a partnership between home and school. This section outlines the ways in which we seek to promote this partnership and, in particular, how we achieve clear lines of communication between home and school. Communication: Each term, parents can access an online School calendar. This is an important reference document that lets parents know about events taking place during the term. For additional sporting fixtures and class trips that are not finalised when the calendar is published, please refer to the fortnightly Inform or weekly ‘Peek into our Week’. Further letters are sent to parents in advance of events/ fixtures. Letters and other information may be sent out electronically via ‘SchoolPost’. Parents will be registered with this on your child’s entry to Fulneck Junior School.

We ask parents to check bags daily In addition, at the end of every half-term, some mailing will be sent to all parents. It is important that parents read all the information sent out, particularly those matters relating directly to your child. The School also publishes ‘The Comenian’, an illustrated newsletter highlighting school events and pupil achievements.


Homework Diary (Years Pre-School - Y6) Every pupil in Pre-School - Y6 has a planner. These are used by pupils daily and information is written in the diary about the homework that needs to be completed. We therefore ask parents to look at the diary every day. Messages may also be written in the diary for parents by the Class Teacher and vice versa, including for example, details regarding a dental trip or hospital appointment, where a pupil might miss a section of the school day. In addition to the diary, each child will also have an account on Edmodo. Codes for the class and subject area will be issued to each child. Edmodo is an excellent communications tool that allows for collaborative learning, pre-lesson reading of subject matter, a chance to scoop some badges and a place where the children and their parents can track assessments and homework on a day-to-day basis. Look out for the codes; there are parent codes, too! Should you have any difficulty with this, please speak to your child’s class teacher in the first instance. At the weekend we ask that all diaries are checked by parents and signed, thereby indicating to the child’s Class Teacher that parents have viewed the information for that week. The Class Teacher/Teaching assistant will also sign the diary to indicate they have seen the parent’s signature. As previously stated, we also ask that at the beginning of each week collection times are written in each diary. This helps the Class teacher to know when each pupil is due to be going home and it also helps the late class / homework club team.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Curriculum We aim to help pupils develop their gifts and talents: spiritual and social; intellectual and emotional; aesthetic and physical through the provision of a broad and balanced curriculum, which is responsive to, and supportive of, their needs and aspirations, fosters intellectual curiosity and academic achievement, and motivates them to grow to their full potential. It is our aim that future learning can be soundly built upon this broad base of skills and knowledge. Aims of the Curriculum

To be compatible with, but enhanced well beyond, the requirements of the National Curriculum at Key Stages 1 and 2.

To be broad and balanced throughout each Key Stage. To allow progression between and throughout the Key Stages. To provide for the personal, social, health and economy education of pupils, including the

preparation of pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. To enable all pupils to learn and make progress. To provide a programme of activities appropriate to the needs of pupils.

Implementation Each Key Stage has a curriculum plan, which outlines:

the curriculum followed the lesson allocation the organisation, including the number of teaching groups arrangements for pupils with particular learning needs (LSU), English as an Additional Language

(EAL) or Gifted and Talented (Academically Most Able). Staffing and resources are deployed effectively to meet the aims of the curriculum.


Schemes of work exist which provide subject matter appropriate for the ages and aptitudes of pupils including those with Special Educational Needs, and so enable all pupils to have the opportunity to learn and make progress. An activities programme, published at the start of each term, supports the curriculum aims. The annual School Development Plan includes targets which support curriculum aims. Curriculum Arrangements The Junior School follows a timetable where there are 50 lessons, but the length varies according to the age of the pupils. • The following subjects are taught: English (incl. Library) Mathematics Art Music PSHEE Science Mathematics Humanities PE & Games ICT MFL (Spanish) Food Technology Religious Studies Design Technology

Formative and summative assessments are used to monitor the progress of pupils throughout

the academic year. Pupils with specific learning difficulties are given an Individual Education Plan and offered the

opportunity of specialist tuition (for which there is an additional charge). Children who are identified as Gifted and Talented (AMA) are given specific opportunities tailored to their needs throughout the year.

All pupils in Years 3-6 receive specialist teaching in Spanish, Games, PE, Art, Science and Music. Pupils in Year 6 may be taught by some specialist teachers from the Senior School, to promote

continuity and progression with the Senior School. All classes in the Junior School are mixed ability. However, pupils may be separated into ability

groups in Key Stage 2 for the core subjects. Pupils in Years 1 and 2 receive specialist teaching in Games, Music, PE and Spanish.

Music Music plays an essential part in the life of the school. Pupils follow lessons in music with a specialist music teacher; in Years 3 and 4 they follow a musical ‘carousel’ where they are taught by specialist music teachers on a different instrument per half term. Pupils can also access individual music lessons for a range of instruments. These are paid for individually and pupils may progress to sitting music exams. The Junior School presently has its own choirs, music ensemble recorder group and speech and drama team who take part in a variety of events throughout the year. Physical Education All lessons in PE (for Years 1-6) are taught by a specialist teacher. It is the pupils’ responsibility to have the correct kit for games. If pupils are unable to take part in games they must bring a note from parents or have a note from the School Nurse.


School Teams Fulneck School has a very good record in competitive sport, and representative teams are fielded at all age ranges between 7 and 18 (Years 3 – 13). If your son or daughter is chosen to represent the School then she/he will be expected to play. Parental support for matches is most welcome.

During the time your child will spend in the Upper Junior years there may be an opportunity to represent the School on a sports tour (Football, Rugby, and Netball). Once a member of a school team, it is expected that team practices are attended regularly after school. Homework Homework is given throughout the Junior School and is always set in good faith by the teacher, feeling that pupils will be able to complete the task in the times suggested. Homework is seen as an integral part of the academic curriculum. Pupils in Pre-School and above are given a homework diary. Pupils from Year 3-6 have an Edmodo account where homework may be set and this triggers a notification to parents who have subscribed to the service. Subscription is free and codes can be obtained from your child’s class teacher. Pupils are responsible for recording each homework set into the spaces provided (with help where required). Homework must represent a pupil’s own work and should always be completed on time, wherever possible, and within the constraints of external activities undertaken by the pupil. In the Junior School, the amount of homework increases as the child progresses through the school. If a pupil is not able to complete all homework set, we expect a written note of explanation in the homework diary or on the piece of homework from parents. If an activity is taking too long, leave it at a suitable point. It is more important that your child has a go, rather than struggling on too long to complete an activity. If a pupil does not bring a note in from home, then he or she may be asked to stay in during a playtime to complete the work, under teacher supervision. Therefore, if your child has made a good attempt at completing the activity, but time has elapsed, please write an accompanying note to inform the Class Teacher in the planner. Staff keep a record of pupils who consistently fail in some way to complete homework satisfactorily, without receiving any communication from parents. Where this is a serious problem, parents may be contacted to discuss their child's work. Homework – an overview The aims in setting homework at Fulneck are: To foster excellent, independent personal study habits. To reinforce or practise concepts learned in lessons To investigate or discover new information.

Objectives During the school year children will receive homework commensurate with their age and ability. Homework should be achievable within the allotted time. Although important, homework should not inhibit the normal activities which a healthy

youngster should be involved in out of school. Homework should not place an extra burden upon parents or lead to conflict between parent

and child. Organisation Years 1 and 2 will receive reading work and related exercises on a regular basis. Other work will be given from time to time as a need arises. Emphasis is placed on English and Mathematics. Activities


including reading, spelling, and mathematics may be set. These should be done at home, under the guidance of parents, taking approximately 15 minutes. In addition, children in Years 1 and 2 may receive spellings, handwriting, and as appropriate, times table practice. In the Junior School (Years 3-6) the focus is mainly on the core subjects of English, Maths and Science though and an outline plan of what your child will be studying will be given to them at the start of the academic year. If children are working on a particular project or need to finish off work started in class in subjects other than the core subjects they may be asked to take additional work home, particularly at the weekend. This, however, should not be burdensome and is likely to occur mainly in Years 5 and 6. A more detailed timetable of homework will be given to pupils in September by their Class Teacher. Specific homework information for each year group Year 3: 20 mins per subject plus reading / spelling, times tables and instrumental practice Year 4: 25 mins per subject plus reading / spelling, times tables and instrumental practice Year 5: 30 mins per subject plus reading / spelling, times tables and instrumental practice Year 6: 40 mins per subject plus reading / spelling, times tables and instrumental practice Management Homework will be planned, and any sheets, etc. needed, should be prepared, prior to the lesson. Teachers will seek to ensure that all instructions regarding homework have been understood by all pupils. All homework should be recorded in a pupil’s homework diary before the end of each lesson where the homework is given. In addition, homework should be set through the Edmodo account for that subject. If no homework is set for a particular reason, ‘none set’ should be recorded in the homework diary. All homework will be in accordance with the curricula detailed in the various subject schemes of work. Children have the responsibility to complete and hand in homework on time. Teachers will mark homework set promptly upon its receipt in class or on Edmodo. Differentiation Teachers will differentiate homework by either task, time or outcome expected. Homework tasks should be achievable by each child within the specified time. Monitoring Class Teachers should inspect the homework diaries at frequent and regular intervals and sign on a weekly basis. Parents should sign the homework diary at the end of each week. Subject Teachers will keep a note of homework not handed in and liaise with Class Teachers to guide the child on personal organisation. Any major concerns regarding homework, from any party, will be raised with the Form Teacher, Deputy Head, Head of Early Years and from there to the Head of Junior School, so that effective evaluation of the system may take place. Home Reading In addition to the homework activities, pupils are set home reading to do each day. We want to encourage all pupils to read a little every night, and to record the pages they have read in their reading record book. Reading at home each night is of vital importance for every year group. Parents can help at every stage of reading, from children who are just beginning to read at a joining age to children who are reading further up the school. Your child may bring home a variety of books, including picture books, storybooks, non-fiction books, poetry books and plays. We try to


make sure that all our books are of a good quality and reflect our diverse society, and have appropriate content. Please make sure that books are treated well at home, and that your child brings the books back to school each day. How Can You Help Your Child with their Reading? Pre-readers (books without words). Use the pictures to tell the story to your child. Try to make this a special time together. Let your child look through the book and tell you the story. Talk about what is happening in the picture.

Beginning Readers Read the story to your child. Read the story together.

Let your child read to you. Talk about the story and the pictures.

Independent Readers Let your child read to you. Ask questions about the story, during and after reading, e.g. 1. Who is in the story?

2. Where are they? 3. What happens next in the story? 4. Can you tell me what has happened in the story?

Ask whether the story was enjoyable and why. Fluent Readers Let your child read the book themselves. You may like to listen to parts of the story. Ask questions about the story, encourage the children to talk about what they have read. Top Tips for Reading If your child gets stuck on a word: Look at the picture for clues Encourage him/her to guess the word Say the beginning sound if it helps Sound the word out Give encouragement, even when the child goes wrong. Encourage your child to read each evening. Reading can happen at any time – although it is preferable to have a quiet time to read, you can listen to your child at any time.

Please remember: we want to make reading a fun activity.

Stretch and Challenge Staff differentiate according to ability in all subject areas, in addition, we offer activities to ‘feed and encourage the wider development of the child’. The following examples show some of the opportunities offered: The Children’s University Junior Maths Challenge General knowledge competitions


County and City Trials for netball, hockey, football, rugby, talent scouts and sporting tours DT Design Challenge Science Challenge These opportunities have been developed to support our academically most able and creatively-talented pupils, enabling them to reach their full potential by allowing each individual to improve attainment, aspirations and motivation. Assessment and Reporting Assessment in the Junior School is ongoing. Our foremost purpose is to improve every pupil’s performance by identifying strengths and weaknesses so that we are able to plan our teaching to enable every child to achieve their best. Records are maintained for each subject showing current attainment; there are more formal assessments at designated points in the academic year. Detailed information about our assessments can be found in our Assessment and Recording Policy. The Learning Support Unit (LSU) Fulneck School has met the criteria of CReSTeD and has been approved for a period of three years registration under Category DU as a school offering a Dyslexic Unit. (Registration valid until June 2017.) The aim of the Learning Support Unit is to identify individual special needs and to provide teaching programmes and strategies to allow all students to access the curriculum at a level commensurate with their intellectual ability. When a pupil is failing to make the expected progress in the acquisition of basic literacy and numeracy skills, teachers or parents may make a referral to the LSU for an initial assessment. Following the assessment LSU staff will make a range of recommendations: Strategies for use in the classroom Materials for parents to use at home to encourage their children Specialist teaching in the LSU on an individual programme of work designed to overcome

difficulties – it should be noted that one-to-one lessons carry an additional fee Further assessment by an Educational Psychologist A key role of the LSU is liaison; we co-ordinate information from Class/Subject Teachers, pastoral staff, parents and outside agencies in the interests of individual pupils. Our means of communication centre on personal contact, Individual Educational Plans, and reviews. LSU staff attend Open Days, Parents’ Evenings, and contribute to staff INSET and briefings. We operate an open door policy to pupils and welcome parents by appointment. Do not hesitate to contact Mrs Moore, the Special Needs Co-ordinator, or your child’s Class Teacher if you have concerns. Within the LSU we encourage a quiet, relaxed working environment within which pupils can learn to discuss their difficulties freely and develop the means to overcome them. Teaching centres on the Dyslexia Action Literacy and Maths Programmes with Years 3-6. Learning Support Assistants, under the direction of the SENCO and the Class/Subject Teacher, work mainly in class with individuals and groups of pupils across the full curriculum. LSU staff are qualified to make assessments in connection with applications for special arrangements in end-of-year tests, so that all pupils are given the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Continuity of staffing and teaching across the whole school is one of our strengths. We come to know ‘our’ pupils well and can anticipate their needs or possible difficulties at each stage of their school life.


We are proud of the achievement of the LSU pupils who have gone on to achieve success in examinations at GCSE and A Level, taking up their preferred places at colleges and universities. Library The School Library is central to learning. The Junior School has its own Learning Resource Centre. This houses the department’s reading scheme books and many children’s fiction books. There are also topic related non-fiction books for pupils to use when researching class topics. The Junior School does not have a system of library fines, but books which are lost or not returned are charged to parents. The School has a dedicated librarian who staffs the area during the day. Trips and Visits Throughout the school year, each class has the opportunity to experience topic related excursions and the cost of these will be charged through the ‘ParentPay’ system or your child will need to bring in the required amount of money with a cheque made payable to ‘Fulneck School’. Parents will be sent details of trips and visits in advance and prior consent will be sought for all trips. We ask parents to complete all paperwork relevant to a trip and return it to the Class Teacher as quickly as possible. Residential trips are built into the curriculum and considered both an important and enjoyable part of a child’s development. Whilst this trip incurs an additional cost, we strongly urge parents to allow children to take part. School Functions All pupils are required to attend the official school functions. Pupils are expected to represent the school out of hours when chosen to do so in activities such as sports fixtures and musical events. A school calendar, giving the dates of major school events, is published on the School website at the beginning of the academic year and term. Please make a note of these in your calendar at home. Other information will be given through the weekly ‘peek into our week’ and may be given from time to time in the newsletter ‘Inform’ issued fortnightly.

FULNECK PARENTS’ AND FRIENDS’ ASSOCIATION The Parents’ and Friends’ Association plays a significant part in the life of the school, organising social events and supporting school activities. The Association meets regularly and is chaired by a parent. Help with the organized activities is always welcome. If you require any further information please contact Reception. They will put you in touch with the current chairperson or secretary.

HOUSES The Junior School is organised into two houses. Brothers and sisters are put in the same house when they join the Junior School. Houses begin at Reception age. House Colour

HOUSE COLOUR La Trobe Red Connor Green

As part of the programme of rewards for all pupils from Years 1 -6, there are many opportunities for them to gain points for their house. This might be for good work or behaviour, or for taking


part in House Competitions in sport, music, performing arts and even photography! Pupils should aim to obtain as many points as possible throughout the year, not just for themselves, but also to help their house win the overall House Competition. Activities A range of activities for pupils to participate in are offered throughout the year. Most take place at lunchtime and some after school. Details of activities are circulated to pupils and parents during the first week of each term and activities will begin in the second week of term. A great deal of emphasis is placed on clubs and activities. Staff are dedicated to giving the pupils the opportunity to develop their talents and skills, in numerous areas. We encourage all pupils to take part in at least one lunchtime activity every week. As part of our philosophy of educating for life, we emphasise the need for pupils to be involved in some extra-curricular activities. We encourage full participation in these and stress the importance of a commitment to whatever activity is taken up. The Choirs and other music ensembles practise each week and, prior to special events, at other times within the school day. Members must take responsibility for making sure they have the necessary equipment for rehearsals, and we ask that for special services or concerts outside school hours they all attend unless there is a very good reason why they are unable to do so, as a great deal of time and effort are put in by the staff on these occasions. Speech and Drama and Instrumental Music lessons are available, if parents wish. A fees list is available from the School Office. Cancellation of such lessons requires a term's notice. Again, please see the back of this booklet for further details if you wish to take up these options.

MEALS AND FOOD Pupils in Years 1-6 are to bring in a healthy snack from home. In Years 1 and 2 the children are provided with fresh milk in a morning and children bring in a healthy snack, such as a piece of fruit or a cereal bar, for later in the afternoon. All children must bring in a drinks bottle that they then can use during the day. Sweets and chocolate are not allowed to be brought into school unless permission has been sought from the Class Teacher. Please ensure you do not send in any nut products. At lunchtime, a wide selection of meals is provided and the menu on offer is always healthy and varied. All children in Years 1 and 2 are given a selection of vegetables to accompany their meal and are given more guidance about what to eat. Pupils in Years 3-6 are given a free choice about their selection of food; however, we do wish that all children have some balance to the food on their plate in our attempt to promote healthy eating and balanced lifestyles. Special diets and/or vegetarians are catered for. Please contact the Head Chef if you have any specific dietary requests and/or if your child is on a special diet for medical reasons. Please also inform the School Nurse and your child’s Class Teacher if appropriate.


Children may have bread with their meal, but they are encouraged by staff to eat their main meal first. If supervisors and/or teachers are concerned about a child’s eating habits then parents will be contacted to discuss the situation and consider strategies. For school trips, a packed lunch is provided for all children by the catering staff, consisting of sandwiches, crisps, biscuits, fruit and a drink. We ask that parents do not supply children with their own packed lunches for school trips, unless specifically requested. Dining Room Rules:

Table manners should always be observed Meals should be collected in an orderly way Pupils should clear their own plates Pupils should try and eat a balanced meal Pupils should be polite and show respect for all staff present in the dining area Noise levels should be kept to a level that considers fellow diners in order that conversations can

be heard throughout the meal-time.

PASTORAL CARE ARRANGEMENTS We aim to create a community that recognises each individual as unique, nurtures in each a sense of dignity and self-worth, and fosters supportive and caring relationships. We seek to help our pupils develop their talents and potential and enable each to become a confident, responsible and useful member of society. The pastoral care system operates inside and outside the classroom to support both pupils and staff. The pupils from Years 1 -6 are rewarded for kind and generous acts through the use of our ‘Dojo’ system (see Rewards and Sanctions pg. 24). Pupils accrue credits for certificates and parents can receive notification of these through subscription (free) to this service. If you want to know more, please ask your child’s Class Teacher. The focal point for all pastoral care is the Class Teacher, who can then draw upon the Head of Pastoral Care or the Head of the Junior School. Aims of Pastoral Care To give all pupils the experience of school as a well-ordered, caring Christian community

where relationships are open and friendly, warm and supportive, so enabling pupils to develop their potential

To safeguard and promote the welfare, health and safety of pupils in school and in activities outside of school

To ensure that every individual is known and valued; that achievement, widely defined, is encouraged and rewarded as a means of promoting self-image and a sense of worth

To encourage self-discipline and good behaviour and to prevent poor discipline through vigilance, understanding and encouragement; to correct indiscipline with justice and compassion

To attempt to live by and promote the teaching of the Church, concerning faith and moral living through collective and individual prayer and worship, and the example of the whole school community.

PERSONAL BELONGINGS

All uniform and personal belongings, including all clothing, watches, pens, pencils, cases and calculators, should be named. All these items are a pupil's own responsibility and the school views this individual responsibility seriously.


All pupils are expected to have their own essential writing equipment and instruments. An equipment list is issued below. The bringing of valuable electronic items is forbidden unless allowed by the Class Teacher on Golden Time day. Junior children should be encouraged not to bring toys into school to play with. However, there will be occasions when the teacher will allow these to be brought in as part of their class award. Parents are advised to insure valuable equipment used in school, especially electronics and musical instruments. Parents are asked to support the School in its efforts to encourage the pupils to take care of their own possessions. We also expect the same care to be taken with School equipment and books with which the pupils are entrusted. The buying and selling of any personal belongings is not allowed at School. Equipment and Stationery During their time in the Junior School, pupils will require the following equipment, marked with their name where possible. A pencil case – soft rather than a tin HB pencils and a pencil sharpener Rubber 15cm and 30cm ruler Coloured pens and pencil crayons Glue (preferably the solid variety in a stick e.g. Pritt) A primary school calculator Fountain pen / Rollerball (for use when a pen license has been awarded) Dictionary and Thesaurus (optional) Spanish Dictionary (optional) A Geometry set and a pack of highlighters Lost Property Pupils are responsible for looking after their own property. If they lose anything they should report it to their Class Teacher immediately. Any lost property will be cleared at the end of each half-term. Named items are returned to their owners. Please encourage your child to take care of personal possessions. Unnamed and unclaimed items are displayed on the last afternoon of each half term to allow parents an opportunity to recover what their children may have lost. All remaining unclaimed items will eventually be given to charity. Mobile phones Mobile telephones are not allowed in Junior School. We do, however, recognize that some of the pupils in Year 6 may have their own personal mobile phones and they may be used after discussion with the Head of the Junior School. They will not be allowed in the Junior School for use during the day. Pupils, by arrangement with office staff, may phone from the School Office. Parents may contact children through the School Office. Pupils with the prior arrangement in place, should hand mobile phones in to the Class Teacher at the start of the day and they will be stored until the end of the school day.


Money Pupils do not usually require money in school and will occasionally only need it for charitable events. In these cases, we would recommend that pupils have their money in a named purse, which can be looked after by their Class teacher.

PERSONAL, SOCIAL, HEALTH AND ECONOMIC EDUCATION

The programmes of study delivered in Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHEE) lessons, allied with the experiences and opportunities available to pupils, contribute to their overall personal and social development. The PSHEE programme supports the school in the following ways: PSHEE raises the self-esteem of pupils, valuing and building upon the ideas of the young people

themselves. It accepts that we are all different, yet all are equally valued; it encourages young people to consider the consequences of their own actions

PSHEE ensures that the pupils will develop the skills, knowledge and attitudes, which enable them to take control of their own lives and remember their responsibility to others

PSHEE is reflected not only through the taught curriculum but also through our expectations; code of behaviour; relationships between pupils, between staff and between staff and pupils; the physical environment (classrooms, boarding areas and corridors are aesthetically pleasing and well cared for); and a wide range of extra-curricular experiences.

A range of teaching and learning styles is used. Emphasis is placed on active learning, including the children in discussions, investigations and problem-solving activities. Within classes, children are able to participate in discussion to resolve conflicts or set agreed classroom rules of behaviour. When possible, we will aim to offer the children opportunities to hear visiting speakers talk about their role in creating a positive and supportive local community. All children are taught PSHEE each week. In the Junior School approximately 50 minutes of curriculum time per week is given to the teaching of PSHEE. Although based on being a discrete subject, it is also introduced through other subjects. For example, as there is an overlap with the Religious Education and Science curriculum, some PSHEE teaching takes place during these lessons. Differentiated activities ensure work is provided for a range of abilities. Language development is encouraged throughout with planned opportunities for discussion, observation and reporting. Progression and continuity are provided. As part of each pupil’s Personal, Social, Health & Economic Education curriculum, in Year 6 children meet with the School Nurse to help their understanding of their physical and emotional development at puberty. The programme followed promotes ways in which young people can examine contemporary stereotypes of masculine and feminine behaviour and assume responsibility for their actions. All sessions are sensitive to the age of pupils. Boys and girls are separated during the programme in order that content can be directed at a specific gender. As part of the School’s drugs education policy, Year 6 pupils also explore issues about the misuse of substances. We feel it is important that our young people have the opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding in this area. We look to develop skills to enable children to make health-promoting choices and to cope with situations where they may be at risk – an essential part of


their education. Nearer to the time of pupils taking part in these sessions, a letter is sent to parents for their written consent. The work throughout RS and PSHEE which is followed in the classroom is enhanced and enriched by the following important experiences which are a feature of any pupil’s life at Fulneck Junior School: Prayer and worship, both collective and personal Assemblies (both teacher- and child-led) Awareness of the needs of others, through the work of Christian charity (home and abroad) Maintenance of the homework diary and Edmodo account School residential experiences, activity days, and community links House system Positions of responsibility (e.g. Head Boy, Head Girl) Junior School Council Pupil Voice Rewards and Sanctions system, and Star of the Week Work of the Junior Chaplaincy Team Pupils’ work/performances in Christian celebrations (e.g. Harvest, Christmas and Easter) Support from a team of trained Anti-Bullying Ambassadors.

REWARDS AND SANCTIONS

Pupils are expected to behave with consideration and courtesy towards others at all times. The school operates a positive behaviour programme, which encompasses a system of rewards. If a child chooses to let himself/herself and the school down by behaving in an undesirable way, the Junior School has a clear policy and strategy for dealing with such discipline problems. In the first instance, a problem is dealt with by the Class Teacher, but will be referred to the Head of Junior School if necessary. Parents will be informed and appropriate action will be taken. Policies relating to rewards and sanctions are available on the School website. There is a whole-school approach to positive behaviour, where all staff (teaching and non-teaching), pupils and parents are aware of our aims and expectations. Aims and expectations Promote good relationships with peers and staff so everyone works together in an effective, considerate and supportive way. Promote good patterns of behaviour, rather than merely deterring anti-social ones. All staff have positive contributions to make, setting high standards and applying the rules, rewards and sanctions fairly and consistently. Relationships are important – staff take the initiative and communicate positively, treating everyone as an individual and with respect. Teachers are fair and consistent in the system of rewards, so that pupils understand that excellent work and behaviour will result in commendation. The Fulneck Junior School ‘special atmosphere’ and ethos have been created through this approach of combining firm discipline with encouragement, praise and motivation; this


combination is essential in order that children and staff can work together in a happy, positive environment. Essentials (School Rules) They are underpinned by our core values: Unity, Liberty and Charity: Pupils should be respectful, polite and helpful to all staff, parents, visitors and fellow pupils. Pupils should always walk inside the school buildings, keeping to the left on corridors and

stairways in the main school. Pupils should be reasonably quiet and calm inside school, especially during class time. Pupils should keep themselves clean and tidy and observe good standards of personal

hygiene. Pupils should care for and respect all school property and likewise their own and each

other's. Pupils are not allowed to bring money, toys or games into school unless specifically

requested. Older pupils should look after and be responsible towards younger pupils. Younger pupils

should respect older pupils. Any form of bullying, physical or verbal, is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Sweets and chocolate, etc., are not allowed to be brought into school unless permission has been sought from the Class Teacher.

Rewards The Junior School rewards good behaviour, believing pupils will develop an ethos of kindness and co-operation. We do this in a variety of ways: • Teachers congratulate pupils verbally and in written feedback. • Pupils receive stars (Years 1-6) for academic work and these are shared with the children in

our celebration assembly (see below) • They also receive ‘Dojos’ which are given for pastoral incidents and these are tallied

electronically which parents have access to (see below). Please see your Class Teacher to ensure you have the necessary application for your device.

• In addition, classes use their own system alongside the star system, including golden time, 'marbles' and class awards.

‘Stars’ - are given for outstanding work/contributions in class, special effort (including homework) As the pupils collect stars, they receive an award: 25: Bronze Award 70: Silver Award 130: Gold Award 175: Platinum Award ‘Dojos’ - are given to children for: service to others, for representing the School with distinction and for any behaviour worthy of commendation. These must be beyond what is normally expected from the individual pupil. As the pupils collect Dojos, they receive an award: 25: Bronze Citizen Award


70: Silver Citizen Award 130: Gold Citizen Award 175: Platinum Citizen Award Each week a pupil will also be nominated from each class to be ‘Star of the Week’ - this could be given for good work all week, an individual achievement in an aspect of school life or making a good improvement in a certain area. It may be given also for completing all homework, if applicable, to a high standard or for playing considerately/co-operatively all week in the playground. The Headteacher's Award is a certified recognition of the 'going beyond what is normally expected from the pupil' (and with it goes two stars). Academically, it is awarded based upon a recommendation from the subject member of staff who teaches that subject. They would base their recommendation upon a number of things such as their judgement of: the criteria for the task/hitting any learning objectives set and often going beyond them the level that is usually attained by the child and, therefore, hitting the highest levels/raising their levels for that work going the 'extra mile' such as the manner in which it is presented/effort with regard to presentation Ultimately, it is at the professional discretion of the teacher. A commendation system (for all pupils from Years 1-6) similar to the Senior School acts as a further incentive. These will be given for outstanding work/effort, continued exemplary behaviour or some other special reason. Nominations will be approved and the recipients invited to the Principal’s office to sign the commendation book. A congratulatory letter will be sent home to parents notifying them of their child’s Commendation. In addition to all of the above: individual pupils may receive certificates of good behaviour or stickers. within a class, each Class Teacher also has their own rewards in place, and these are awarded

at the teacher’s professional judgement. the School also acknowledges all the efforts and achievements of pupils out of school and

due praise is given accordingly. Sanctions The Junior School also employs a number of sanctions, in line with the school rules, to help ensure a safe and positive learning environment. We employ each sanction appropriately to each individual situation: The Class Teacher discusses the School rules (essentials) with each class. In addition to the

School rules, each class also has its own classroom code, which is agreed by the pupils and displayed on the wall of the classroom. In this way, every pupil in the school knows the standard of behaviour that we expect. If there are incidents of ‘anti-social behaviour’, the Class Teacher discusses these with the whole class during PSHEE time. In Years 1 and 2 children have visual behaviourist charts within their classroom.


We expect pupils to listen carefully to instructions in lessons. If they do not do so, we ask them either to move to a place nearer to the teacher, or to sit on their own.

We expect pupils to try their best in all activities. If they do not do so, we may ask them to

redo a task. This is at the teacher’s discretion, and is administered in respect of the clear objectives given and the pupil’s individual ability.

If a pupil is disruptive in class, or outside the classroom, the teacher in charge reprimands

him or her. If a pupil misbehaves repeatedly, we isolate the pupil from the rest of the class until he/she is ready to behave and join in with an activity.

The class Dojo system can also be used to show a ‘needs work’ point; on receiving this a child

will lose five minutes of their Golden Time, however, this can be ‘won back’ by the child. The safety of the pupil is paramount in all situations. If there is a case where a pupil’s

behaviour endangers the safety of others, the Class Teacher stops the activity and prevents the pupil from taking part for the rest of that session. If behaviour outside has upset someone else, then the child apologises and again has time out.

With regards to homework or classwork not being completed, ‘catch-up’ sessions are held at

the discretion of the Class Teacher.

In the rare event of an extreme case of violence or bullying, parents will be contacted by telephone and the pupil will be asked to leave the premises for a 'cooling off' period. They may be given a fixed term isolation period; this could be internal isolation or, at the discretion of the Principal, an external suspension. For serious or repeated breaches of school discipline, exclusion for a fixed period (suspension) or permanent exclusion may follow after consultation with the Chair of Governors. A pupil will only be re-admitted to school with the approval of the Principal and after a formal interview with the pupil and his/her parents. Our aim is to encourage self-discipline, but when required we have the above range of sanctions at our disposal, including detention.
