Dear Parent / Carer

Welcome to East Hunsbury Primary School

We have produced this prospectus to help you gain more information about the life and work ofthe school. We are a Community co-educational Primary School with a Designated SpecialProvision (DSP) for children with severe learning difficulties, taught in an inclusive environment.

At East Hunsbury Primary School we are committed to both excellence and enjoyment. Ourcurriculum, our organisation, our decision making and our ethos are founded on the following set

of beliefs:

We believe

Our school should be a stimulating and welcoming community in which all childrenand adults feel valued, able to contribute and where relationships are based onmutual respect.

Children should be active participants in the learning process and be provided withexperiences that maximise their involvement, autonomy and independence.

We should be an inclusive community where pupils are offered opportunities togrow together, learn together, laugh together and celebrate together.

We should equip our children with the skills they need to be happy and successful inlife, nurturing in them a true and life-long love of learning.

We are responsible for the development of the whole child. We recognise differingneeds and endeavour to meet these needs, maximising the opportunities forchildren to explore their physical, social, emotional and intellectual potential.

We should be a community that respects and celebrates diversity.

It is also our belief that we can only achieve the best for your child through close co-operationbetween school and home. In these early years there will be opportunities for you to share inyour child's education and I, along with the staff, am available to talk to you about any aspects ofyour child's development.

Please take the time to read the enclosed documentation as we are concerned about all aspectsof your childs progress and we hope that you wil l share with us in making this a successful and

joyful period in your child's life. Help us ensure that your child enjoys, achieves and aspires ashe/she journeys through our learning community.

Yours sincerely

Mrs R M Arundel

Headteacher

The School Day

The children are admitted into school from 8.45am. This gives them the opportunity to settle in beforeregistration. We ask that parents abide by this rule and do not bring the children in before 8.45am asthis is teacher preparation time. Parents are also asked to vacate the building promptly so that thechildren can begin their morning tasks and registration can start at 8.55am.

Children will leave classes at 3.30pm and we ask parents to wait by the cloakroom / classroom doors.This will assist us in ensuring all the children are safely collected. No child is allowed to leave the

premises without an adult unless the school has been notified otherwise in writing. Any child notcollected by 3.45pm, unless we have been notified, will be taken to the after school club [charges maybe incurred].

Pre-school and After-school clubs / Holiday clubs are available and more information can be found withinthe prospectus.

Children are grouped mainly according to age but within the D.S.P. some classes may contain childrenof a wider age range than others. This varies from year to year due to the changes in the numbers ofchildren attending the school and the budget. Parents are notified when such changes occur. Theclasses are known by the teacher's name or by a colour in the DSP. The class teachers, for the majority

of the time, teach their own class, but especially in the older classes teachers with an expertise in aspecific subject may take other classes for lessons. The children are normally taught in mixed abilityclasses, but for numeracy and literacy are placed in ability groups or sets, which may occur across yeargroups. This setting may also take place in other subjects.

Authorised Absences

All lateness is recorded and all absences must be reported. On day one a telephone call is acceptable,but a letter is required for subsequent days.

Please telephone the school before 9.00am so any unexplained absences can be followed upimmediately. Tel: 01604 677970 Option 1

Parents are actively discouraged from booking holidays during term time. During the academicyear only 10 days away from school can be authorised in exceptional circumstances. Any additionaldays will be recorded as unauthorised and will be reported on your child's end of year report.

Always remember any time taken off during school time cannot be replaced in your child'seducation.

All children arriving late or leaving during a session must notify the front office and be signed inor out.

Book Bags

Your child will bring a range of books home from school in their book bag. These books are for you to read and

share with your child so they develop a sense of enjoyment and love of reading.

Also in the book bag is a small booklet in which you can comment on your child's enjoyment and attitude towardsthe books bought home. The teacher will read these comments and may sometimes write a comment in thebooklet. More information on reading in the school is provided annually as your child progresses through theschool.

Extra Curricular Activities

A variety of activities are available for the children in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. As these are undertakenafter school or at lunchtimes, parents are asked to complete a consent form. There may be a charge for activitiesas they often involve an outside provider.

Activities currently include basketball, tag rugby, judo, recorder, football, street dance, gardening, art, dramaacademy and dodgeball. Please see the website for the activities on offer and contact details should you wish yourchild to participate in one of our clubs.

Children with Special Educational Needs

East Hunsbury Primary School should be a place in which all pupils are able and willing to learn. Some pupils may

require additional support to cater for their physical, social, personal or intellectual development. Early identificationis most important. Communication from feeder schools will be sought and assessments undertaken in closeconsultation with parents. Such pupils will often be supported by a Teaching Assistant who will follow a specificprogramme of work devised by the class teacher and Special Needs Co-ordinator. These children will have anIndividual Education Plan (IEP) that is shared termly with parents when targets are agreed and signed.

Currently, we have three SENCOs in school: Mrs Bartosiak-Smith, Mrs Knowles and Miss Ingman (D.S.P.).Please feel able to make an appointment if you ever have concerns.

Designated Special Provision (DSP)

The school provides for 35 children with severe learning difficulties within our Designated Special Provision. All thechildren have statements of special needs and as such warrant a far higher ratio of staff to pupils than otherchildren in the school. Each class of children has both a trained teacher and a Teaching Assistant who work withthem on both social and academic targets.

The children have four classroom bases and a Rainbow Room within the school where many of them will spendmost of their time. As assessments of ability are made, the children will work with their link year group for particularlessons and activities in order to provide a truly inclusive school experience. These are highly structured by stafffrom both classes.

The school has an Inclusive Quality Mark award to acknowledge the success of its inclusive practice

Home School Partnership

To involve the parents at every opportunity we provide an open-door policy. We regularly welcome visitors into theschool as well as take children on visits as part of our rich, broad and relevant curriculum.

Parents are encouraged to come into school to help in various capacities. Through this, it is felt that parents cansee the curriculum in action. Parents are also asked to take an active interest in all aspects of their child's schoollife and to encourage their child to participate in the wide range of activities offered by the school. Concerts andperformances are also shared with families and there are many opportunities to view the childrens work.

Teaching and Learning consultations (Parents Evenings) are held twice a year by appointment. End -of-yearreports are sent out at the end of the Summer Term with an appointment if desired.

If parents have any problems or concerns, they are invited to talk to the class teacher before school or make anappointment after school. Appointments can also be made with the Headteacher and Special Needs Co-ordinators.

parents. Appointments can be made via the school.

Home-School Agreement

As a school we are eager to work in and with our local and wider community. We endeavour to support initiatives,invite visitors and speakers, encourage community use and participate in local and town-wide celebrations,concerts and festivals.

The school also supports police and schools liaison. We are committed to the idea that the police and schoolsshould work together to foster in pupils a sense of social responsibility and good citizenship. We also have linkswith Environmental Wardens who support the school through community projects.

Equal Duty

Our Equality Policy makes it clear that we work together to ensure no child or adult in the school is discriminatedagainst because of gender, race, religion, ability or class. All children and adults should be respected, feel valuedand experience enjoyment and success, be able to explore their many gifts and realise their potential.

It is the Authority's policy to provide open access to all records of employees and pupils. Records will beconfidential to all except those who have a rightful access to them.

Starting School

We are extremely proud to inform parents that our Reception setting has, for the last 10 years when it first applied,achieved and maintained Effective Early Learning Accreditation due to its good practice.

In Northamptonshire children have the opportunity to start school at the beginning of the school year in which theywill become five. At East Hunsbury Primary School we start preparing to welcome your child into school as soonas we know they are coming. This is achieved by forging good relationships with our partner nurseries and pre-schools in the first instance and then by working in partnership with our new parents and carers to ensure a smoothtransition is achieved for every child new to our school.

Our aim is to take your child from where they are within the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and ensurethat they continue to develop as a unique child with good well-being and involvement levels in a happy, safe andsecure learning environment.

Unique Child

Every child is a unique child who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.Our practitioners understand and observe each childs development and learning, assess progress and plan fornext steps.

Positive relationships

Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships and fostering a sense of belonging. Ourpractitioners are responsive to childrens needs, feelings and interests and supportive to childrens own efforts andindependence. We aim to be consistent to ensure clear boundaries are understood by the children. Our School

Rules are the foundation for this teaching.

Enabling Environments

Children learn and develop well in enabling environments, in which their experiences respond to their individualneeds and there is a strong partnership between practitioners and parents and carers. We offer stimulatingresources, relevant to all the childrens cultures and communities and rich learning opportunities through play andplayful teaching. We also support children to take risks and explore.

Learning and Development

Children develop and learn in different ways. The Early Years Foundation Stage framework covers the education

and care of all children in early years provision, including children with special educational needs and disabilities. Practitioners teach children by ensuring challenging, playful opportunities across the prime and specific areas oflearning and development.

They foster the characteristics of effective early learning.

Playing and exploringthis will foster engagement for your child

Active learningthis will foster motivation for your child

Creating and thinking criticallythis will offer challenge for your child

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum focuses on seven areas of learning:-The first three areas of learning are known as the prime areasand develop quickly in response to relationshipsand experiences and run through and support learning in all other areas.

Personal, Social and Emotional DevelopmentMaking Relationships, Self-confidence and Self-awareness

Communication and LanguageListening and Attention, Understanding, Speaking

Physical DevelopmentMoving and Handling, Health and Self-care.

New Intake

The specific areas include essential skills and knowledge. They grow out of the prime areas and provide theimportant context for learning.

Literacy - Reading and Writing

MathematicsNumbers and Shape, Space and Measure

Understanding the WorldPeople and Communities, The World, Technology

Expressive Arts and DesignExploring and Using Media and Materials, Being Imaginative

We will share more details about the EYFS Curriculum during our New Intake Meeting and answer any questionsyou may have.

How can I help at home?

As previously stated the Prime Areas are the most important areas of development as they facilitate the otherareas of learning and as these are supported by good relationships and experiences you can do a great deal tohelp these areas develop at home.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Encourage your child to share, take turns and respect their own and others property. Try giving your child lots ofpraise for hanging up their own coat, going to the toilet independently, getting dressed themselves as this will helpyour child feel confident in their own abilities and this will go a long way to building resilience which is a lifelong skillthat helps us through difficulties. Praise is a greater motivator than reprimanding inappropriate behaviours. Do nottry for perfection at this young agehaving a go is a great start and a little practice regularly will see great results.Dont try for too many achievements in one go start slow but stick at something small and be consistent. Putting a

jumper on the wrong way round is a great start if you say no its wrong try again your child wil l feel deflated andwill be reluctant to try next time!

Communication and Language

Before we learn to read and write we need to be able to communicate by listening carefully, giving our full attentionto ensure we have understood what has been said. Try giving your child simple instructions to follow such asPlease can you put your car in the box. You can extend this and build it into play scenarios for fun by addingmore descriptive words such as Can you put the yellow car under the wooden bridge etc. Once listening andattention is in place, understanding will follow and then speaking will become more specific. We, as adults, areimportant role models to ensure children are hearing the correct words in the correct order so that they can copy usand develop their speech sounds and grammar. It is important not to correct a child directly when they phrasesomething wrongly as they can lose confidence. Just try repeating back the correct phrase/sentence in answer tothem. For example if your child says I did get a new toy you can say Yes, you got a new toy.

Sharing picture books is a great way to foster a love of reading with your child reading the pictures is animportant early reading skill and you can be a great role model sharing the story together. Children love it when weput on funny voices for the characters and change the ending to see if they notice. Favourite stories read over andover again really help children to remember them well so that they are ready when asked to talk about theirfavourite characters, favourite parts, where the story is happening, what happens at the end etc. We read formeaning so it is so important that children engage with the pictures and understand what the book is telling us longbefore they become interested in reading the text.

Physical Development

Children need to develop co-ordination and balance long before they are able to consider even holding a pencil orknife and fork with confidence. Going to the park, walking to the shops, riding scooters, swimming, kite flying,playing ball games are all very important for young children to engage in. Once they have mastered confidence

jumping, hopping and running they will f ind catching, kicking, rolling and throwing big balls a little easier. Learningto use a remote control car, computer mouse, dials, buttons and switches on electronic toys all help towards achilds manipulative skills. Using playdough, paint brushes, spoons, chopsticks, threading beads, pegs and pegboards, chalks, sticks in mud, squeezing pegs are all good early tools to use which will eventually aid the ability foryour child to hold a pencil with control. So please do not worry if your child does not find holding a pencil easy butplease do work on some of the earlier skills as this will aid their physical development.

Can your child open their own lunch box, peel a banana, or satsuma, open a wrapper or packet of food? Push astraw into a carton? Can they tell you what food they can have every day and what food is for a treat? Can theygo to the toilet independently, wash their hands and dry them? These are all very helpful for them to master beforethey come to school as this will give them self confidence in their own abilities.

Please do not consider looking at literacy and mathematics skills at this early stage unless all the above areas arein place. We have more information for you at our New Intake evening to support these areas of learning.

Parent Partnership

During your childs first year at school you will receive a weekly Newsletter to keep you informed of your childslearning experiences. At regular intervals during the year there will be opportunities for you to share in a range of

learning opportunities with your child. We also have a Well Done Board near each classroom to enable us tocelebrate your childs new learning both in school and at home. We also hold parent workshops and evenings toshare specific curriculum information and your childs progress and next steps of learning.

New Intake Arrangements

At East Hunsbury Primary School we believe it is very important that your childs transition from a nursery/pre-school setting into school should be as smooth as possible. A crucial part of this process is making sure thechildren feel safe and secure in a new environment and begin to forge positive relationships with the practitionersand each other. With this in mind we operate a part-time intake procedure which allows the staff to work withsmall groups of children in the first few weeks.

The part-time induction times are as follows:-

We wish you and your child a happy and successful transition into school life.

We look forward to getting to know both you and your child and to sharing in the many opportunities that

lie ahead for them as they continue their learning journey with us and reach their full potential at EastHunsbury Primary School.

The Governing Body of East Hunsbury Primary School comprises the following:

Headteacher x 1

Staff Representative x 3

Parent Representative x 6

Community Representative x 4

LEA Representative x 3

The Governors of the school have legal duties and responsibilities under the 1986 Education (No 2) Act

and Reform Act 1988 and the Education Act 1993. Governors core duties and responsibilities are largely

unchanged. The Education Act 2002 [The Act] has introduced greater flexibility in, and deregulation of, the

way in which governing bodies operate.

Governors are appointed to help:

1. Decide what is taught.

2. Set standards of behaviour.

3. Interview and select staff.

4. Decide how the school budget is spent.

Parent Governors:

1. Have a child in school.

2. Are elected by parents of the school.

3. Serve, as do other Governors, for four years.

Parent Governors bring the view of parents to the Governing Body but they speak and act as individuals -

they do not vote for all parents in general.

Parent Governors should be aware of ways of encouraging parent interest and should become actively

involved in drawing parents into the school. Teachers and Heads in most schools will already be making

efforts to encourage parent involvement and Parent Governors can become an increasingly important

element in developing Parents in Partnership.

If you are interested in becoming a Parent Governor please ask the Head Teacher for details.

The minutes of the Governors meetings are in the school Bursars office for anyone to read. You, as a

parent, elect Parent Governors for a four-year period.
