4 5 Hampton Hargate Primary School Prospectus Hampton Hargate Primary School Prospectus Our Curriculum At Hampton Hargate Primary School we plan an integrated curriculum through a creative cross-curricular map which includes all subjects. We seek to match the learning to the child so that they can excel in all they do. Our aim is to raise attainment through a rich range of topics, with clear purpose and intent that provides vocabulary enrichment and knowledge learned across the subjects. The curriculum is planned by teaching staff to deliver a broad and balanced range of experiences to deepen and enhance their learning. We aim to foster creativity in our children and help them become independent learners by building aspirations for all pupils so they know what is possible for them. The school curriculum is supported by a variety of visits, visitors and presentations within school and trips out to further enrich the topic. We firmly believe that children gain a great deal from learning outside of the classroom as well as having people bringing skills and experience into school.

Rewards We celebrate children’s achievements on a regular basis through mini merits, stickers and Headteacher awards, as well as through praise from staff and peers.

There are a also a number of clubs run by external providers on offer. Details of the clubs are available on the school website. Children who stay for the after-school clubs will need a signed consent form to allow them to stay for the clubs. In addition to the clubs organised by the staff members there are also a range of sporting and musical activities available, which are run by outside agencies. Details of these clubs will be sent out during the year. Helping in School Some parents, carers, grandparents and people from the community may have the time to come into school to help during the day. They may listen to children read or help with other activities. We will also need help with school visits in the local area. We would appreciate your help and support very much and if you are interested please contact the school office. School Trips & Activities The school will arrange for theatre, music groups and sports coaches to visit the school and for the children to go out to visit places related to their school work. The school budget does not include the cost of these activities, which will add so much to your child’s education. We occasionally have to ask families for a voluntary contribution towards the costs and hope that most parents will be able to support us. Without your help these trips would not be able to take place. In Year 6 we arrange a week long School Residential. Year 4 pupils have the opportunity to participate in a shorter residential visit. The pupils are involved in a variety of activities and visits during the week. One of the main aims of the School Residential is for pupils to experience greater independence and to improve their confidence and organisational skills. The Year 6 Residential is a great way for pupils to finish their time at our school before moving onto Secondary School. Reporting Home We will send you a written report of your child’s progress towards the end of the academic year in July. There will also be an opportunity in each of the three terms to come to a parent/teacher evening to see your child’s work and to discuss her/his progress with the class teacher. The first two meetings have scheduled appointments while the last one is an open evening. If you wish to discuss your child’s progress or behaviour at any other time, please feel free to make an appointment with your child’s class teacher.

8 9 Hampton Hargate Primary School Prospectus Hampton Hargate Primary School Prospectus Special Educational Needs & Disabilities Here at Hampton Hargate Primary we believe in an inclusive environment. We believe that the child is at the centre of everything we do. All children should be happy and enjoy themselves when they are in school. Each child’s individual learning styles should be respected. All children should have high but attainable targets for them to enable them to achieve their full potential. There should be good communication with parents. Every child should be given an appropriate level of support but at the same time be encouraged to become independent learners. Identification of Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Early identification of a pupil’s needs is of paramount importance. At Hampton Hargate Primary School this may occur before the child enters school, either through an expression of concern by parents, or because the school has been alerted by external agencies, such as health or social services, or by pre-school provision. If we are aware that your child needs particular support we will discuss the matter with you and make sure that you are involved in the decisions about future provision for your child. A copy of our SEND Policy and SEND Offer are both available on the school website. Teachers create a positive climate for learning, so that pupils are keen and do well… Ofsted “ ” This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of all children and expects all staff to share in this commitment. All staff must follow the guidelines set out in our Child Protection and Safeguarding procedures. All staff have a duty to record and pass on any concerns they may have about a child’s welfare or safety to the Designated Person for Child Protection in school who will investigate these concerns. The Safeguarding Children Policy is available on the school website. If Things Go Wrong At Hampton Hargate Primary School we promote an open door policy which encourages parents to come and speak to their child’s class teacher or teaching assistant at the beginning or end of the day. If you think your child is experiencing any kind of difficulty with friends, work or home life, then please talk to your child’s teacher. Naturally, we hope that your child’s time at Hampton Hargate Primary School will be positive and happy. However no matter how hard we try there may be times when you are worried or concerned and there will certainly be occasions when we may make a mistake. Please come and see us - we will be pleased to see you and will do whatever we can to move things forward. Any complaints about school matters should first be brought to the attention of the class teacher. If the complaint is not resolved, you can contact the school to arrange an appointment with the Senior Leadership Team who may then refer you to the Headteacher or Governors. When We Get It Right We hope there are many times during the school year when you are really pleased with your child’s experience at school. Please let us know! All too often we only speak out when things go wrong. Child Protection Policies
