STAFF HANDBOOK 2017-2018

WELCOME TO NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL We extend a warm welcome to our new staff. Please read the following information carefully and make note of its content. We pride ourselves on clear communications between us all so please make every effort to regularly check the school’s electronic calendar, the hard copy of the weekly diary displayed in the staffroom and discussed in the Monday morning briefing, read emails, check pigeon holes and make full use of staff room facilities. Please ensure that the electronic calendar is updated with any events relevant to your year group or leadership role in school. Details of all meetings of the Ironstone Academy Trust are also provided on the school’s electronic calendar. A yearly calendar of all major events, details of Staff Meetings, SLT meetings and IAT meetings is also provided for staff and updated regularly.

The School Improvement Plan (SIP) details every aspect of how staff, governors, parents, children and outside providers work together in order to secure the best possible outcomes for our children. The full version of the current SIP can be found electronically in the School Shared area under ‘SIP’.

Key Priorities for teaching and support staff 2017- 2018:

Provide a stimulating and enriched Curriculum and Learning Environment by:

Staff will identify and then narrow attainment gaps, ensuring an increase in the number of children completing each year successfully; taking care to ensure no pupil is disadvantaged.

The school curriculum, and teaching, will have a greater impact on the raising of standards of reading.

The school curriculum, and teaching, will have a greater impact on the raising of standards of writing.

Raised levels of attainment in English will be secured by teaching of Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation that is regular, enjoyable and relevant.

Page 3: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

Attainment in Maths will be raised by ensuring pupil fluency in basic operations and securing their ability to apply this knowledge when reasoning and problem solving.

Behaviour will be improved through our development of Rights Respecting Schools work The school is using the United Nations Rights of the Child to help guide its strategy for improving pupil engagement and behavior. The School was last inspected in 2010, and graded as a good school with some outstanding areas. Normanby Primary was awarded National Support School status in spring 2014. The school offered good value for money at its last inspection, and inspectors noted ‘Overall, pupils make good progress from starting points in the Nursery class that are generally below those typical for children of that age’. The Head teacher was appointed in January 2008. Attainment, OfSTED noted, ‘has risen from broadly average at the time of last inspection to be above average overall and sometimes significantly above average’. The school has attained FMSIS in 2009, and has subsequently maintained this standard.

The school has a range of staff, with differing levels of experience and a committed and enthusiastic and enquiring Governing Body. The School is sited in an attractive area of Middlesbrough, and is popular with parents and carers. It takes in just less than half its pupils from outside of the catchment area. The most recent Health and Safety Audit again recognised excellent practice. There were no pupil exclusions last year. Attendance for all groups is good. The School has national accreditation in ICT, Global Learning, Healthy Schools, Green Flag and numerous other awards

Our Professional Principles

Staff have identified the following key principles which will run through our developmental work over the forthcoming years;

• Teaching at our School is based on sound common principles, flexibility of delivery of the School Curriculum is encouraged in order to respond to individual needs and opportunities, within our Non Negotiable framework.

• There should be clear lines of accountability and decision making between the Leadership of the School, including Governors, and its Staff.

• Staff workload and priorities must reflect both the School’s main responsibilities and priorities for change.

• Meaningful participation of children, young people, parents and carers in the life of School should be welcomed and developed.

• Ways should be found to raise attainment of individual groups who are identified as underachieving.

Page 4: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

Teachers will have dedicated time (Teachers Researching Teaching (TRT)) to support this. Governors will challenge the Head teacher, so that children’s progress and their experience at School are understood by all members of the Governing Body, so they are well placed to support and guide the Head teacher and Leadership Team.

Development of monitoring through Standards Meetings

Effective curriculum delivery and pedagogy at our School means that Staff need to work together to:

• To assess the needs of groups or cohorts, presenting this information in a coherent manner. • To assess the current provision and deficiencies of interventions. • To identify which extra and different interventions are needed. • To plan, finance and contract for resources/ staffing. • To procure or provide them. • To develop expertise and share good practice, including working with and observing colleagues in other

schools. • To assess whether they match the objectives and standards set with them, via Performance Management,

informing future development • Contribute to Performance Management systems that are focused on School Improvement

Streamlining information sharing and assessment

The future use of information sharing and assessment processes in School is intended to streamline existing processes; SLT have made it a priority that CPOMS is used for the consistent reporting of significant events and that our data gathering and analysis systems are operated on a fair and rigorous basis.

Key message: parents and carers have requested greater clarity around incidents of bullying and how we reward pupils and manage behavior.

Developing working practices

Our School will have to develop new ways of working as we become an established Academy Trust, a strategic partner in a teaching school alliance and National Support School. This must support improved outcomes for our Children, as well as those in other schools. This includes the development of work with multi disciplinary and multi agency teams.

The role of the School Business Manager will also continue to evolve to support the Head teacher and SLT in their role, from February 2008 this has included joining the Leadership Team each half term to consider the financial aspects of the management and strategic development of the School.

Governors have requested that their meetings remain interactive; the Head teacher reviewed the format and presentation of the standard Report to Governors in conjunction with the Chair of the Governing Body in 2016 and

Page 5: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

this will be reviewed annually. Committees and Working Parties will be supplied with full, accurate information. Governors will be involved in responding to our Tustees on a termly basis

The Scheme of Delegation has been reviewed in preparation of the school improvement plan, and all fund holders will be given appropriate training and supervision.

Key messages: all groups of staff will be involved in working between schools, locally and regionally/ nationally. There must consistent rigorous and open approach to working with partners, performance management and the sharing of data in Standards Meetings.

SCHOOL ORGANISATION

This plan will be updated based on the needs identified by SLT/ Standards Meetings.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

GENERAL STATEMENT OF INTENT

Page 12: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

Every employee of Normanby Primary School Ironstone Academy Trust should be aware of the Academy’s Statement of Safety Policy.

Every employee of the premises should read the Policy which draws attention to the specific obligations of the employees and school.

This Policy Statement meets specific needs of the premises employees, service users and members of the public who may use the premises.

All employees are reminded of their duties under Section 7 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Section 7 enables the premises to successfully carry out practices that are developed to ensure compliance with the act.

All employees have the responsibility to co-operate with Supervisors and Managers to achieve a healthy and safe workplace. Each employee also has responsibility to take reasonable care of themselves and of others who may be affected by their activities at work.

The management will, so far as is reasonably practicable, provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions, equipment and systems of work for the employees in these premises. We also accept responsibility for the health and safety of service users and other people entering or using these premises.

The health, safety and welfare of all the people who work or learn at our school are therefore of fundamental importance. We aim to provide a safe, secure and pleasant working environment for everyone. The governing body, along with the LA, takes responsibility for protecting the health, safety and welfare of all children and members of staff. It is the responsibility of every adult, working in school, to take all due precautions to protect themselves and the children from all potential risks and dangers.

Supply teachers, visitors and contractors have a personal and professional responsibility to take cognisance of Health and Safety Policy and Procedures which are publicised in the Staff and Visitors Handbook and the Policies /Procedures File situated in the staffroom.

There is a Health and Safety Library and a designated Notice Board in the staffroom and staff are required to read notices regularly.

Children will be made aware of the general safety precautions to be taken through clear parameters of behaviour that could affect the health and safety of themselves and others.

Evacuation procedures will be practised as legally required (minimum one per annum) and the time taken to evacuate the building reported to the Governing Body of the school.

RESPONSIBILITIES The following persons have responsibility for health and safety at these premises. Advice will also be taken from the School Nurse, by the responsible person or other professionals as required.

GOVERNING BODY/HEAD TEACHER The Headteacher on behalf of the Governing Body has overall and final responsibility for health and safety in the premises and for drawing the attention of employees in these premises to this Statement of Health and Safety Policy.

SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES:

DEPUTY MANAGER Mr K Wood (Deputy Headteacher) is responsible for health and safety in these premises in the absence of the Headteacher.

FIRE WARDENS All members of staff.

Page 13: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

FIRST AID PROCEDURES If a child has an accident a designated first aider will be requested to attend the classroom. In the playground the teacher or Supervisory Assistant will assess the injury initially and if required the child will be sent to the First Aid Treatment Room (food tech room) with an adult or with another child to receive first aid or, at lunchtime, to the designated Supervisory Assistant. If an injury is considered serious help must be summoned immediately and the Health Register, (kept in the staffroom) and Serious Illness Board, checked. Children who have serious health conditions have an individual care plan and these are displayed in the staffroom. Entries are in classes and alphabetical order.

ALL head injuries will be checked by a 'first aider', reported to the Headteacher or H & S leader and the relevant documentation completed.

Minor head injuries will be monitored throughout the day and reported to the parent at hometime with an 'accident slip'. Alert stickers are given to children who have had a head bump to inform all adults in school.

If a child is given a ‘Bumped head note’ the teacher must be informed and the child must be told to tell their parents and put their note in their reading packet to give to their parents and to tell their parents as soon as possible.

Unless the head injury is of a very minor nature, parents will be informed and requested to take their child home as a precaution.

In addition a similar system operates for all other injuries.

Prior arrangements (for example PPA) must not jeopardise this sharing of information.

Minor accidents and incidents at lunchtime are to be recorded in the ACCIDENT BOOKS carried by a Supervisory Assistant. An ‘accident slip’ will be issued to inform parents of minor accidents, where a visible injury is evident, and to maintain a school record when first aid is administered.

Injuries which are judged to require medical treatment/diagnosis will be referred to the hospital and the parent contacted at the same time. If parents cannot be contacted a note should be posted through the letterbox or a message left on the answer phone informing the parent of the incident and asking them to contact school as soon as possible. The child will be taken to hospital by ambulance or car and may be accompanied by the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher or other staff member who acts in 'loco-parentis' if treatment needs to be given. An ambulance should be called to serious accidents to enable paramedic attention to be given at the earliest opportunity.

The nearest Supervisory Assistant will attend lunchtime accidents and follow the above procedure.

Serious accidents MUST be recorded in the ACCIDENT BOOK which is situated on the wall in the Office. There are separate books to record injuries to children and to adults. The accident form must be completed and signed by the person administering the first aid, and the Health and Safety Leader informed. A Serious Incident form must be completed (ACC4) and forwarded to the H&S Executive for any accident which requires treatment in the local hospital’s A & E department.

If in doubt about the seriousness of an injury ALWAYS seek a second opinion from a first aider.

First Aid boxes are situated in the:

East Building: School Office and in every Year Group teaching area.

West Building: Food Technology Room (designated area for first Aid): Every year Group teaching area.

Year group first aid boxes are checked on a regular basis by teaching assistants and a record kept by designated first aiders.

Every Year Group has its own first aid kit included in its Educational Visits box.

Page 14: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

Note: Plasters are usually for use of adults only.

It is a designated responsibility of the first aiders to check the main first aid resources on a regular basis. All members of staff must always report any shortage immediately.

There is a first aid box for taking on school visits. This will be replenished by the year group Teaching Assistants. Replacement stock is stored in the medical cupboard in the Office.

Staff must take all precautions to protect themselves when treating children who are bleeding or vomiting. Staff must cover open wounds with a waterproof dressing and wear plastic gloves and aprons. Soiled materials must be placed in a plastic bag for disposal.

Plastic gloves are available in classrooms, first aid boxes and the Office. Disposable aprons are in the school Office.

If a child is sick ‘Bioman, Emergency Spillage Compound’ should be applied as soon as possible. It is kept in the Office, Nursery and Reception classes

Spot cleaning, following application of the Compound, will be carried out by the Caretaker, if available, or staff at other times.

For further information see Appendix 1 of the Health and Safety Policy.

There are three Certificated First Aiders ( JB, HB, KH ) who have a current first Aid at Work certificate

Page 16: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

all staff, including Supervisory Assistants. The Health Register is maintained by Mrs Miller and Mrs Hart. The information is also at the front of each class attendance register and should be noted by teachers and Supply teachers.

A copy of the medical form of each child on the above Register is kept in the staffroom and should be checked prior to any concerns of more serious injuries or incidents relating to any child. It is a blue ring binder file, titled Health Register, kept on the bookshelf in the Administrator’s Office. Children who have asthma are highlighted in blue and children who have a serious medical condition are highlighted in red.

MEDICINE IN SCHOOL • Medicine will not be administered to children by staff, without the appropriate paperwork being completed.

• Parents (or their representative) of children completing courses of medication who are well enough to attend school, may visit school at any time to administer that medication.

• Medication not prescribed by a doctor will not be allowed in school.

In exceptional circumstances, preventative medication or emergency medication may be administered by trained staff, after arrangements have been confirmed in writing with parents/carers.

ASTHMA • Children with asthma who have preventative treatments will keep their medication with them or in the

classroom as appropriate to the age of the child. Nebulizers must be kept in the Office or classroom and administering must be supervised by an adult.

• A file of information of all children with asthma is kept in the staffroom and a list of children with asthma is displayed inside the cover of each class register.

• The school has been advised that each child must have their own medication at school, but in a life-threatening emergency any treatment available should be used.

Parents are responsible for keeping their child’s medications up to date.

Staff should remind parents of this at Open Evenings and welcome sessions.

EPILEPSY AND DIABETES

Specific medication and instructions for its use are kept in the Health and Safety File.

Parents are responsible for keeping their child’s medications up to date.

Designated members of staff, who have had specialist training, are appointed to supervise the medication and care of diabetic children in school.

A qualified First Aider is available every lunchtime in the first aid room adjacent to the lunch hall to deal with possible choking hazards and other medical emergencies.

ANAPHYLAXIS Anaphylaxis is an acute, severe, allergic reaction which can be triggered by a variety of allergens (especially peanuts, nuts, eggs, cows, milk, shellfish). In its severest form the condition is life threatening. Children with the condition will each have an Individual Care Plan agreed and signed by parents, school and Health Authorities. This document is kept on the Health and Safety noticeboard. Staff have annual training on the use of the Epipen. Each notified child will have a personal, named box containing the Epipen and procedures to follow in the event of an attack, kept in the school Office. Parents are responsible for keeping their child’s box up to date. Children who have an Epipen in school will

Page 17: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

have a specific card (a green triangle with a photograph of the child) kept in the classroom to be used by the teacher to summon immediate adult assistance.

Every effort will be made to keep nut products away from children suffering from nut allergies e.g children’s parties.

OTHER SERIOUS HEALTH CONDITIONS Children suffering a serious health condition, such as epilepsy, diabetes, coeliac, reflex anoxic seizures, or a major illness or debilitating condition, will have their photograph and a profile of their illness, symptoms and treatment to be given, displayed in the staffroom for the awareness of all staff. They also have Individual care plans.

HEAD LICE

If you become aware of a case of head lice in your class then inform the administrative staff in the academy office. They will provide you with a standard letter for all children in that class to check their children’s hair. The letters must be sent home that day. If further concerns arise please inform the SLT who will then arrange to see the parent and inform the school nurse

ADULTS If a member of staff is absent for three days or more due to a specific accident at school e.g. a broken foot or arm, the correct form will be sought from the LA, completed and sent to the LEA for their assessment.

The EMERGENCY TAG

If a member of staff requires urgent assistance, for any reason, a child should be sent to the nearest adult with the Emergency Tag. Children need to be reminded by teachers termly of the purpose and procedure regarding the use of the Tag.

The summoned colleague will respond immediately and send the tag to the Headteacher , Deputy Headteacher or First Aider who will attend urgently.

The situation will be assessed and the appropriate procedure followed.

The children should be familiar with this procedure in case the staff member is incapacitated.

If a member of staff is ill or has an accident, the procedure must be followed as for children, except for parental notification.

Emergency Contact for all staff is kept by the Headteacher.

EMERGENCY PLAN

A separate policy and set of procedures has been developed by the Headteacher to deal with a catastrophic emergency. This Emergency Plan details roles of responsibility for the Headteacher, members of the Senior Leadership team and governors in the event of such an emergency. The policy, roles of responsibility and all procedures are kept in an Emergency Grab Bag in the main school office. The Grab Bag contains a list of items which

Page 18: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

will be essential in such an emergency. All staff have been briefed on the Emergency Plan. The Emergency Plan is updated on an annual basis.

EDUCATIONAL VISITS OUT OF SCHOOL There is a summary of the school’s 'Policy and Procedures for Educational Visits' in Appendix 2 of the Health and Safety Policy which must be adhered to in all aspects.

FIRE AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES • Fire doors should be kept closed at all times.

• The fire bell, a continuous ringing sound, will be activated in the case of any emergency which requires the evacuation of the building (fire, bomb, gas leak).

• The fire bell will be activated to alert everyone on the premises to follow the evacuation procedure.

• The Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher or Secretary will dial 999.

• An electronic register system operates in school. Staff keep a laminated class list in their classrooms where absences are noted. This will be used for a head count upon evacuation of the premises.

• Children who have medical appointments will be indicated in the class register.

• When the roll call is complete with all children checked, the children will all raise their hands to signal that all the children are accounted for.

• Return to the building is only permitted when the 'all clear' has been given by the emergency services, or the Headteacher (three loud whistles).

• The escape routes for each area are posted clearly on the wall. These are well known and regularly practised.

• It is the responsibility of all staff to be aware of the exits, alternative exits and assembly points.

• Escape routes must be kept clear at all times and all doors easily opened from the inside.

• Anyone who discovers a fire should break the glass in the nearest firebox to activate the fire bell and then dial 999.

• Evacuation must be in an orderly manner.

• Personal belongings must not be collected.

• No teacher should leave his or her class to return to the building. No person should return to the building until the ‘all clear’.

• Any 'missing persons’ should be reported to the Headteacher immediately.

EMERGENCY LOCKDOWN PROCEDURE The signal for this is an intermittent bell which will be triggered from the main office.

A senior member of staff will inform office staff to ring the emergency services

The procedure for this is as follows:

• Close all windows and draw blinds • Move children away from windows

Page 19: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

• If children are outside, take them calmly to the nearest entrance door and gain entry. Move to a safe internal space such as a corridor, hall or their classroom, if this allows.

• Lock classroom doors if this is possible • If threat level increases, using professional judgement, barricade door with furniture and tell children

to get under tables. • Await for all clear or further instructions, keeping children as calm as possible.

EVACUATION OF BUILDINGS AT LUNCHTIMES In the event of the fire alarm being activated at lunchtime, the procedures to be followed are given in Appendix 10 of the Health and Safety Policy

Special consideration must be given to children with disabilities.

GAS AND ELECTRICITY SUPPLIES

The Headteacher/Caretaker/Health and Safety Leader is responsible for the isolation of gas and electricity supplies, if safe to do so.

THE FIRE LOG BOOK

The Fire Log Book is displayed in the Office and must be completed at all relevant times including fire drills, visits of fire officers, alarm checks and extinguisher checks.

The Caretaker has a Health and Safety File, which is kept in the Caretakers Room, with a timetable and record sheets of Testing that is to be carried out. The completed sheet is to be forwarded to the LA.

Members of staff who have any concerns about fire and emergency procedures must contact the Headteacher or Safety Leader.

EVACUATION OF PLAYGROUNDS (Fire, toxic alert, undesirables, dogs) If there is a need to evacuate the playgrounds in an emergency, staff should blast the gas horn kept in the Headteacher’s room and the children should stand still before entering the buildings in an orderly manner.

An intermittent sounding of the bell will ensure that all staff are aware of the situation – children will be moved away from windows, windows closed, blinds closed, doors locked and wait for the all clear signal.

DOGS ON THE PLAYGROUND THREE WHISTLES must be blown and the children must stand still. If a member of staff requires urgent assistance two children should be sent to the Office or staffroom. The dog must be removed and secured in the East bin area. The Dog Warden should be contacted immediately (tel 01642 774774). If the dog is presenting a danger in the playground the evacuation procedure should be followed.

Page 20: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

VEHICLES ON THE SCHOOL SITE

Parents must adhere to the safety notice and not bring their cars onto site after 08:30 and until 15:30.

All vehicles must adhere to the 5 m.p.h. speed limit.

Raised crossing points have been installed and clearly marked, to encourage pedestrians to cross the road and walk on the footpath.

Staff and visitors are asked to park with the utmost care.

Parents of children who have certain medical conditions/disabilities have specific permission to drive inside the school premises and park their cars to allow their children to gain easy access to school. There is a designated disabled parking bay within the school site.

CHILDREN LEAVING SCHOOL PREMISES DURING SCHOOL HOURS

In the event of a child leaving school without an adult (absconding), the police and then the parents must be telephoned immediately. Should the parents not be contactable or able to attend to the matter immediately, the Headteacher or a senior member of staff must consider travelling to the child’s home and the school administration staff must update the police.

ASSAULT PROCEDURES (Adults and Children)

In the case of an assault the Headteacher should be informed immediately (using the Emergency Tag) following the summons of aid from the nearest adult. A doctor/ambulance and the police should be called if necessary.

Written accounts must be made of the incident, as soon as possible, whilst it is still fresh in the victim's and witnesses' minds and a report form, Notification of Assault, completed. Any 'weapons' should be retained as evidence.

The Children’s Services will be informed the same day.

A statement on procedures for incidents of violence towards staff is available in the staffroom.

Staff making home visits should always inform office staff of the time, purpose and address that they are to visit. It is advised that staff take a mobile phone when visiting families. Handbags and other valuables should always be left at school. Personnel alarms are available and should be taken on home visits.

Solo visits should not be under taken.

BUILDING SECURITY External doors are fitted with special locks. Always lock outside doors when you enter or leave the buildings, as this will reduce the possibility of assaults against adults and children. Access to the two main doors between the building is by an electronic ‘beeper’ fob which only staff have.

All visitors to the school must enter by the main entrance and will only be admitted once they have informed the office staff of the purpose of their visit.

All staff must maintain a constant vigilance regarding all visitors to school.

Page 21: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

POTENTIAL HAZARDS Equipment, tools, cleaning fluids and other resources, used by cleaners and contractors, are potential hazards if left unsupervised. It is essential that all personnel in school take reasonable precautions to prevent accidents. All equipment and cleaning fluids will be stored in a locked cupboard.

COSHH Any potentially hazardous substances used in school must be reported to the Health and Safety Leader to be assessed.

COSHH assessments are available in the school office for staff reference.

GENERAL CARE

• Staff pregnancy information should be shared so that precautions can be taken to prevent unnecessary risks, such as from use of VDU’s or infectious contacts.

• Children must not touch plugs and sockets.

• Trailing leads must be avoided at all times.

• All electrical equipment must be checked regularly by staff and defects reported

• Sharp tools, such as paper trimmers, scissors, knives, and pins must be used under supervision.

• Children should be given very clear instructions regarding movement and use of PE equipment.

RISK ASSESSMENT Risk assessments are stored electronically in the Staff Shared area.

Educational Visits Risk Assessments

A Risk Assessment must be completed by the visit leader for all ‘out of school visits’.

Generic Risk Assessments are available for all general identified risk areas e.g. playgrounds, and must be adhered to by all members of staff.

RISKS TO BE IDENTIFIED: Rough, boisterous play Faeces

Children lifting and carrying one another Hurrying

Wet floors Steps

Spillages Damaged floors

Swing doors and door hinges Hygiene considerations, toilets, sinks

Playground - broken glass, etc Intruders

Damaged fences, gates. Dogs

SPILLAGES • Water and paint should be cleaned and dried using newspapers or paper towels and cloths and mops.

Page 22: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

• Materials used must be put into a sealed plastic bag for disposal.

• Spillages in the dining room must be cleaned up immediately by the Supervisory Assistants or the Kitchen Staff and the area left safe and dry.

As responsible adults we must remain alert to all potential dangers in and around school. It is necessary to constantly remind children of ways to keep safe, such as not running in the building, not lifting or carrying each other, avoiding rough, boisterous games and being wary of road safety and the risk from strangers.

Children and adults should move around school keeping to the left-hand side except when the building is being evacuated when special circumstances prevail and speed is of the essence.

All potential hazards should be reported to the Headteacher, Health and Safety Leader and Caretaker.

Activity specific Risk Assessments should be carried out by members of staff for activities deemed to present a possible risk.

Risk Assessment templates are available electronically in the staff shared area A Risk Assessment must be completed by the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher for any child returning to school following an accident which affects their ability to move around school safely or inhibits their access to the curriculum eg fractures. Children cannot return to school until a risk assessment has been completed and signed by the parent/carer. There are risk assessments available in the shared area for a range of medical conditions which can be used or altered.

Similarly, a Risk Assessment must be completed for any member of staff returning to school following an accident or medical procedure if it affects their ability to carry out their normal duties safely.

A risk assessment must be carried out for expectant mothers.

SEND Children Risk Assessment The Health and Safety Leader will complete an assessment where required e.g. children with physical difficulties. These will be compiled with the children’s carers to identify possible risks.

Working at home Risk Assessment

When appropriate Staff who are able to work from home (for example during agreed Planning Preparation and Assessment time) should post it on the whiteboard in the PPA room and ensure that they are recorded as being out of school on the In and Out board outside the main office. Staff should ensure that they have made suitable provision for their own Health and Safety.

A copy of all assessments should be given to the Health and Safety Leader to be kept in the Risk Assessment file.

Assessments are revised annually and all staff must sign the file to verify they have read them.

Contractors

Contractors are responsible for carrying out any Risk Assessments they deem necessary in the completion of their work on site. Contractors must complete an AW3 form which will be signed by the contractor and a member of school staff. Contractors must also be made aware of the school’s emergency procedures.

Page 23: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

THE ROLE OF THE CARETAKER The Caretaker should inform the Headteacher and staff of any potential hazards such as wet floors or the presence of contractors in school.

The Caretaker has specific responsibility for checking the building for anything that may cause harm or could be a potential danger.

The Caretaker will carry out visual checks on electrical plugs, sockets, wires and equipment. The school will ensure Annual PAT Testing is undertaken.

A Premises/Equipment Fault Reporting Form (blue) should be completed and given to the Caretaker, Headteacher or Health and Safety Leader, as appropriate.

The Caretaker will regularly inspect moveable equipment such as audiovisual trolleys, TV stands, computer trolleys and OHP trolleys.

Generally staff, should connect and disconnect electrical equipment.

The caretaker will report any premises issues to the Headteacher and liaise directly with the school’s Premises Manager, Mr Dave Ashwell.

VANDALISM Any incidents of vandalism which might create a hazard to children and adults must be reported to the Headteacher, Safety Leader and Caretaker so that the appropriate measures can be taken.

BOMB ALERT 1. KEEP CALM.

3. Do not replace the handset - the call may be traceable.

4. Sound the fire alarm.

5. Notify all staff.

6. Each teacher will complete the roll call then proceed with their children to the end of the main field. (In the event of an explosion, the playground would not be a safe distance from the building).

7. Telephone the Police 999 and the LEA Tel: 444000, on the mobile or another telephone.

8. Arrange for as many children as possible to be collected by parents who will be notified when it is safe to return to the building.

CONTRACTORS Contractors must abide by their own and the school's safety procedures.

All contractors must report to the Headteacher who will attempt to ensure that they will not present any safety hazards to the children or staff.

A Permit to Work should be issued where necessary and Comprehensible Information is available and should be consulted.

Page 24: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

Members of staff must report any breach of safety regulations to the Headteacher or Safety Leader.

SMOKING The school site is a NO-SMOKING and NO-VAPING area.

SUPERVISION • Children should be supervised or under the direction of an approved adult at all times.

During every lunchtime a supervisory assistant will monitor the only open entrance to school to ensure no child leaves the premises and to monitor people entering the premises.

• When the building is being evacuated, noise can be a hazard if instructions need to be heard. Children should, therefore, leave the building in silence.

• Teachers are to be ‘on duty’ promptly.

• If staff, including Supervisory Assistants at lunchtime, are called away from the playground or classroom to deal with an incident, another member of staff or Supervisor must cover the absence.

SUN PROTECTION

In very sunny weather children are encouraged, where possible, to take shelter in the shade.

A number of canopied shaded areas have now been installed in the school grounds.

If the temperature is considered too extreme the children will be kept indoors during the lunchtime break.

The wearing of sunhats and covering of arms is recommended to avoid sun damage.

Children may apply their own sun protection cream.

Water is available at all times.

PE EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING PE Equipment is checked annually in accordance with the academy’s contract. If a fault is detected, the piece of equipment should be withdrawn from use until it has been checked and repaired.

The PE Leader and sports coaches, Health and Safety Leader and Headteacher should be informed so that appropriate measures can be taken.

It is the responsibility of The PE Leader and sports coaches to ensure that:

• Apparatus is set out in a manner which is safe for use by the children, including the stability of each piece of apparatus. Teachers MUST check that floors are dry and safe for use before each PE lesson.

• All pupils must be aware of, and abide by, the rules for carrying apparatus.

• All pupils must be aware of, and abide by, the STOP signal.

• Clothing for PE should be streamlined to prevent snagging on apparatus.

• It is also essential for hygiene purposes, that a change of clothing is worn for PE

• A school outfit for PE may be bought from school.

Page 25: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

• Bare feet are safest on apparatus.

• Plimsolls may be worn for movement and indoor games lessons.

• Hair should be tied back from the face so as not to restrict the child's view.

• Jewellery will not be worn for PE lessons.

• Earrings must be removed or covered with plasters.

• Staff need to be vigilant to potential risk.

CLASSROOM PRACTICE IN SCIENCE, DESIGN TECHNOLOGY,

FOOD TECHNOLOGY, ART AND SWIMMING Refer to the curriculum documents or Appendices 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. In the Health and Safety Policy

Children will be trained in the correct use of all specialised resources and the appropriate behaviour to adopt whilst using potentially dangerous equipment so as to prevent accidents to themselves and others. Staff are to adhere to the guidelines in the Be Safe Science booklet.

TRAINING Training in the use of electrical equipment is given to staff when it is purchased, leased or replaced.

Handbooks/Instructions for general ‘Electrical Equipment’ are kept for reference in a folder in the staffroom.

The only person qualified to undertake minor electrical repairs is the Caretaker, who has passed an electrical competence course. An electrician must carry out all other work.

STRESS MANAGEMENT The Headteacher and senior staff practice an 'Open Door' policy for any member of staff to discuss concerns, problems or issues that may be causing pressures or difficulties either professionally or personal. If 'In House' support is inappropriate, or the staff member requires additional or more professional help, a contact number is displayed on the staffroom noticeboard.

MANAGING ATTENDANCE/SICKNESS

At Normanby Primary School we aim to have a happy and healthy staff, but we realise that staff do become ill from time to time and will require sickness leave. We have adopted the Middlesbrough Council Managing Attendance/Sickness Capability Policy for school based staff.

If a member of staff is sick and will be absent from school, the following procedure MUST be adhered to:

If you do not follow these reporting arrangements, your absence from work may be classed as unauthorized absence rather than sickness and could mean it is unpaid.

Page 26: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

FIRST DAY

If you cannot attend work because of illness or injury you must personally telephone Carl Faulkner, Headteacher, send a text message to Ken Wood, Deputy Head Teacher and Sue Hall, School Business Manager as early as is reasonable but in any event before 8.30am giving the reason for your absence and how long you think this will last.

You should make contact with Sue Hall each day for the first 3 days’ absence unless you agree something different on the first day you ring in.

You must complete a Self Certification form for all periods of sickness absence of up to 7 days duration and send this to your place of work as soon as possible or on the day o your return to work. This form is available for school and is stored within the Staff shared drive (T)

Please refer to the policy which can be found under Key Information on the school’s website

STAFF TOILETS AND CHANGING FACILITIES

Male and Female staff toilets are provided in school and these must be used by staff and adult visitors. Staff must not use children’s toilets. Toilets are to be used for changing facilities. Showering facilities are available for staff in the Sunshine club area.

REMISSIONS AND CHARGES

We have a policy for remissions and charges for educational visits, residentials, music tuition etc. Please refer to the policy which can be found on the school’s website under Key Information.

TELEPHONES AND MOBILE PHONES

The school recognises the importance of being able to communicate and acknowledges that the mobile phone is a useful tool. However we would ask staff to be sensitive of their role and ensure that their phones are switched off during curriculum time and that phones are only used at appropriate times. Please note as with any personal possessions it is the teacher’s individual responsibility to ensure that their belongings are stored securely. An important exception to this would be during school visits and journeys when for Health and Safety reasons staff are encouraged to have their phones with them or to carry the school’s number at all times so that they are contactable. Mobile phones should not be used to record images of the children.

Staff and pupils may use the phone in the office for any personal calls (these must be kept to a minimum).

Children with Special Educational Needs

At Normanby Primary School we aim to identify children with physical, learning, emotional or behavioural difficulties.

If a member of staff has concerns regarding a pupil who is not making the progress expected a cause for concern form should be completed and given to the school’s SEND Leader.

Children with special educational needs have their needs assessed and are then given an appropriate individual education plan. This may be taught by the class teacher or a member of the intervention team who work with individual children or small groups. The class teacher, special needs co-ordinator and the governors monitor provision.

IEP meetings are held termly with parents/carers

Page 28: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

Staff aims are to work closely with parents, and where appropriate, with outside agencies, to assist the children’s progress and achieve success

Please refer to the SEND policy which can be found on the school’s website under Key Information.

Children with Disabilities

The academy is committed to inclusion and we are happy to enrol children with disabilities if, following consultation with the LEA and medical opinion, we can provide a good education, necessary access and a safe environment for individual children. The academy has an access plan to help with the inclusion of children with disabilities. The building is on two levels and a lift and disabled toilet have been installed as part of the remodelling process. The ground floor level has one entrance at the front with access for wheelchairs. Where admitted, children with disabilities are given the facilities needed and are encouraged to reach their full potential. Support may be provided via special equipment and/or additional help in class. All children are encouraged to take part in as much of the National Curriculum as their disability allows. More Able, Talented and Gifted Children The needs of all children must be provided for, and our more able children are offered differentiated work that will challenge them. Where they are known, children with special talents have these recognised and celebrated, and we are always pleased to be told about children’s special talents and interests. GRIEVENCES and COMPLAINTS

There is a procedure to follow if you have a grievance or complaint. Before embarking on this it is your responsibility to try to resolve the situation in the first instance. Please speak to the Headteacher if you cannot resolve the situation. The Complaints Policy can be found on the Academy website.

EQUALITY

Promoting equality means treating people fairly, valuing differences and removing the barriers that prevent people from fully participating in school life and realising their full potential. Over recent years, we have worked extremely hard to reduce inequality. Yet we know that people still experience disadvantage and unfair treatment simply because of who they are or the background they come from.

Normanby Primary School is committed to taking positive action that will open up the curriculum and its associated activities, services and opportunities to everyone, ensure that difference and diversity is embraced, and that people are always treated fairly and with respect.

Normanby Primary School will meet all of its Legal Duties in respect of equality and diversity. The key piece of legislation is the Equality Act 2010, which came into effect in October 2010. It replaces and consolidates the raft of anti-discrimination laws with a single Act, and has implications for us as an employer and a service provider.

Please refer to the policy for full details, it can be found on the school’s website under Key Information.

BEHAVIOUR

In order to create and maintain good behaviour in school we aim to:

• Ensure that staff use their voices effectively as role models to the children to demonstrate politeness and a positive tone of voice.

• Create a positive atmosphere in school based on a sense of belonging to a community which has shared beliefs.

• Adopt a positive approach towards behaviour that is underpinned by pupils’ self discipline and based on praise and reward.

• Develop close co-operation of our parents in upholding our expectations of behaviour of their children.

• Provide a learning environment in which self-discipline and honesty are acceptable norms. • Maintain consistency in that we, as a staff, understand the necessity for mutual support and

uniformity of approach. • Be fair in managing behaviour without prejudice and by ensuring that discipline is perceived to be

fair by the children and their parents. • Adopt and maintain effective classroom management strategies through staff discussion, team work,

and by providing relevant INSET as required. • Divert the children from undesirable behaviours by providing them with challenge and excitement

through a quality curriculum, which requires sustained application. • Provide the children with good models of adult behaviour by co-operating with, and supporting, each

other and by fostering an atmosphere of courtesy and consideration. • Foster good relationships with children by ensuring that our care of children is based on kindness,

respect and an understanding of their individual needs. • Involve children in determining their own behaviour through education, developing mutually agreed

class rules and by making explicit our school’s code of conduct. • Adopt a positive approach towards behaviour that is underpinned by pupils’ self discipline and based

on praise and reward.

All staff are familiar with the Keeping Children Safe in Education document.

Normanby Primary School fully recognises its responsibilities for child protection.

The schools main aim is to provide a safe, secure and stable base for children and help to protect them from harm. The welfare of the child is of paramount importance to all the adults who work in our school. To achieve this aim Normanby Primary School will:

• Ensure safer recruitment and vetting practises are followed, therefore checking the suitability of staff and volunteers who wish to work with our children.

• Raise awareness of safeguarding / child protection issues to staff, parents and children.

• Provide an environment where children feel safe, are encouraged to talk and are listened to.

• Help equip children with skills needed to keep themselves safe,

• Develop, implement and review policy and procedures in relation to

child protection.

• Train and raise awareness of all staff, defining their role and

responsibilities in reporting possible cases of abuse.

• Ensure there is effective communication between staff on child

protection matters.

• To identify children who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm.

• Report cases or suspected cases of abuse to Social Care.

• Working in partnership with parent/carer and other professionals to

support and help protect children who have a Protection Plan.

• Establish a safe environment in which children can learn and develop.

In our school we respect our children. The atmosphere is one that encourages all children to do their best. We provide opportunities that enable our children to take and make decisions for themselves.

Page 31: NORMANBY PRIMARY SCHOOL Ironstone Academy Trust

The school ethos promotes a positive, supportive and secure environment and gives children a sense of being valued.

Our teaching of personal, social and health education citizenship, as part of the National Curriculum, helps to develop appropriate attitudes in our children, and makes them aware of the impact of their decisions on others. We also teach them how to recognise different risks in different situations, and how to behave in response to them (e.g. ‘stranger danger’ and ‘internet safety’).

We recognise that abuse and neglect can result in underachievement. We strive to ensure that all our children make good educational progress.

All adults working with or supervising children must have criminal background clearance and an associated person check. All staff and children sign up to the school ‘Acceptable Use’ Policy for ICT. Use of ICT is monitored by the Headteacher and LA. Children receive regular training in Internet Safety and all PCs in school have the safe use of the Internet SMART guidelines displayed as the PCs wallpaper.

For full details of our procedures please refer to the school’s Safeguarding Policy which can be found on the school website
