Values Based Learning Zouch Academy is a Values School. It is our Values that determine our thinking and behaviour. Through a Values-based Education, a positive culture for teaching and learning is
created which is based upon valuing ourselves, each other and the environment. Our School Values support the development of the whole child. The ethos of our school is built on a foundation of 12 core Values which are
addressed directly through lessons, assemblies and across the whole curriculum. Each term we focus on a particular Value. We learn to understand what the Values looks like and how we can demonstrate
the Value, in the way we behave, in our attitude towards each other and in our learning.
Parents are encouraged to develop the monthly Value at home and have the opportunity to nominate their child for displaying the Value.
This terms VALUE is Responsibility
British Values
We have talked about personal values, but can a country have values?DFE – why ‘British’ Values ‘Keeping our children safe and ensuring schools prepare them for life in modern Britain could not be more important. This change is an important step towards ensuring we have a strong legal basis for intervening in those schools where this is an issue.”
The government has set out its definition of British Values as: democracy the rule of law individual liberty mutual respect tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
Here at Zouch we actively promote each of the British Values through everyday school activities
Our Academy Badge
Our Uniform!
Our School Uniform is important to us. It is one way in which we identify ourselves as a school family and it promotes a strong, cohesive school identity which supports high standards and expectations in all areas of school life.
‘Look Smart - Act Smart’Thank you for sending them looking so very
smart!
2015/16 KS1 Curriculum
We have made tremendous progress in all areas of school life and this year we are building on those improvements though:1. Focus on ‘mastery’ across all subject areas and in particular in
mathematics2. Our plans to become an OUTSTANDING READING school3. Using Talk 4 Writing (T4W) strategy as the main driver in
developing high quality writing across the school. 4. Moving from ‘topic based learning’ to subject specific learning
utilising subject specific skills – still great fun! 5. Working with subject specialists in Langauges, PE, music and
Forest Schools to deepen and develop our pupils learning experiences.

Our Guide to Home Learning
We have two types of Home Learning at Zouch • Routine Home Learning – these are the
activities we would like you to routinely do daily with your child/children.
• School Set Home Learning – these activities will be set by the school for completion for your child.
The rationale……!
Attendance and Punctuality
OTIS is a brand new campaign to help improve attendance
and punctuality in our school.
OTIS stands for On Time In School
ON
TIME
IN
SCHOOL
Research shows that pupils with high levels of school attendance are more likely to benefit fromeducation, achieve better exam results, and go on to have more successful careers.
Regular Attendance
Regular attendance means that your child can make the most of their education, improving their
chances in adult life.
Regular Attendance
School will also help your child’s social skills, such as making and
keeping friendships
PoorAttendance
Irregular or poor attendance at school leads to children not
doing as well as they should do in their learning.

It can also affect them socially and emotionally.
