In a school where real success is recognized and celebrated, Saltley will have the highest expectations of every individual’s academic progress and personal standards, where we all encourage each other to believe in what we can achieve. Providing every opportunity possible for all members of the Academy, we aim to be a shining example of excellence in teaching and learning. Developing the best qualities in our Academy community, all of us will develop our ability to be enthusiastic, positive, creative, respectful, and honest individuals. Encouraging the key skills of confidence, communication, and collaboration, our young people will thrive as disciplined, resilient independent learners, who are responsible for their learning and behavior. Our young people will know that they have the support and guidance of our dedicated staff, who will inspire them to reach their true potential, and who will help them to excel in all they do.

We are committed to ensuring that the experience students have through both school and homework activities provides them with a breadth of knowledge, skills, and experiences that enable them to reach their full potential academically, culturally, socially, morally, and spiritually. As a Rights Respecting School, Articles 29 (the goals of education) and 31 (the right to leisure, play, and culture) are central to the aims of our curriculum. This means that they will study the full National Curriculum in Key Stage Three, which at Saltley in Years 7 and 8, so that students have the opportunity to study their Key Stage Four courses, mostly academic GCSEs, in more depth from Year 9. Saltley Academy is committed to a series of assemblies, special events in school, and visits to ensure that all students are prepared for adult life as happy, successful citizens in modern Britain. This will include a program of ‘Dimension Days’ to expand students’ learning experiences and special events, such as charities, our Christmas Assembly (in school), and our Grand Iftari (out of school time). Please see the policy for the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development of our students and with it the ‘Saltley Guarantee’ of experiences to support this. This includes independent advice and guidance, careers education, and, in Year 10, one week of work experience. We also have extensive links with Post 16 providers, including Washwood Heath Academy’s sixth form, and universities. The Academy is also committed to encouraging healthy lifestyles and life choices by developing our students’ ability to take sporting, leisure, and cultural opportunities as part of their lives through extensive access to supervised activities through lunchtimes and after school.

Salisbury school is housed in a Victorian building full of history and character. Our community is rich in culture and diversity where everyone feels comfortable, valued, and important. We provide enjoyable continued learning for pupils, staff, and parents. Our motto is simple: “Enjoy, achieve, be healthy and happy during this phase of your learning whilst preparing for your future education.” As a school, we will effectively build a calm, caring, stimulating, organized learning environment that promotes, inspires, and celebrates the cultural diversity reflected in our school community. We aim to accomplish this by: Encouraging children, staff, and parents to draw upon their life experiences and thereby sharing these with others. Providing a progressive and socially inclusive school within the community. Planning a broad and balanced curriculum that reflects changes in education and society and meets the individual needs of our children. Promoting high self-esteem, respect, and teamwork through effective partnerships. Equipping children to reach their maximum potential by encouraging self-motivation and self-progression. Fostering an ethos that reflects a happy, friendly, and positive learning environment for all pupils, staff, and parents. Salisbury Primary School is inclusive and aims to meet the needs of every pupil. We recognize the importance of quality teaching and that some pupils will, at some stage, require a more personalized approach to enable them to meet their potential. We want our school to be a safe, secure, and happy environment where children feel valued and can access a balanced, relevant, and stimulating curriculum. We value our relationship with other local schools and work together to provide the best possible outcomes for the children and young people in that partnership. We will work within the requirements of the latest SEN Code of Practice. We believe that home and school should work together in partnership to provide the best possible outcomes for each child. Parents and carers are encouraged to take an active involvement in school life, for example, supporting home learning, attending meetings, coffee mornings, and helping out with events and activities. We ask parents and carers to share relevant information from home with us and we aim to provide information about each child that is helpful and clear. This will include regular progress reports, access to support from other professionals e.g. School Nurse, Family Support Worker, and information relating to individual plans. Through our curriculum, extra-curricular activities, teaching, and learning, Salisbury Primary School will promote British values. By doing so, we will ensure that all learners understand the values that have traditionally underpinned British society. The teaching of these values will promote cohesiveness within our school and community. We will prepare pupils for life in England where the population has an increasingly rich diversity of backgrounds, origins, beliefs, and cultures by promoting the values on which our society has been built. By teaching pupils these values we will help all to become good citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Through our work and partnerships, pupils will gain a good understanding of the values that underpin the privileges, rights, responsibilities, and duties of citizenship. We will equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and understanding to make a positive contribution to the harmony of our local and national community. We will develop responsible young people who support and positively value community cohesion. This policy will make a key contribution to the school’s positive ethos. The headteacher and Governing Body will assess the impact of this policy and monitor its operation. It should be viewed in conjunction with the school’s other policies especially the Race and Equality Policy. Equal Opportunities Policy, Citizenship Policy, and Behaviour Policy. View full school

‘Warm’, ‘caring’, ‘happy’ – these are the three most popular words used by parents to describe Salisbury Cathedral School (SCS). Our unique setting, adjacent to one of England’s finest cathedrals, helps to cultivate a strong spiritual awareness and Christian values underpin everything that we do. We believe a child’s self-esteem is vital to their success. At SCS, we foster an unpressured environment where pupils are encouraged and congratulated every step of the way, celebrating their achievements and promoting a strong sense of self-worth. Our focus on the individual child means that all staff plays a role in discovering strengths and areas that need guidance and support. This approach works. Our academic results are impressive and consistently out-perform competing schools but, more than this, the children who leave us are confident, self-assured, well-rounded, and comfortable in their skins. Music is at the heart of SCS and is undoubtedly one of our major strengths. The school educates the boy and girl choristers of Salisbury Cathedral and their expertise and skills enrich the lives of all members of our community. All children are encouraged to play an instrument and the wide range of ensembles, both choral and instrumental, is outstanding. However, we offer so much more. Whether it is performing ambitious drama productions, winning regional science competitions and national sporting accolades, writing inspiring poetry or creating beautiful metalwork, pottery, and art, we feel we have something to bring out every child’s talents. The best way to appreciate what we can offer your child is to visit us on a normal school day. We would be delighted to show you around. We are intrinsically a part of Salisbury Cathedral and as such our Christian foundation is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in sharing with parents the spiritual, moral, and intellectual development of children, and our Christian community, which welcomes people from all faiths and those with no faith, is based on integrity, generosity, and compassion. This ethos underpins the school’s 8 core values of creativity, community, discovery, leadership, resilience, self-discipline, teamwork, and thinking. These form the basis of children’s academic and pastoral development and are values that we hope will continue to be important to children throughout their lives. Our aims are: To provide outstanding teaching where academic, sporting, artistic and musical excellence is sought and celebrated we want all pupils to be encouraged, excited, and challenged through learning. To be an environment where self-esteem and strong friendships are fostered through outstanding pastoral care, and where open and trusting relationships with parents enable each child to flourish as they discover their interests we want to develop children who better understand themselves, others, and the world around us us us them. To be an outstanding choir school, supporting a cathedral choir of international standing, which inspires and provides wide-ranging musical excellence for the benefit of every child.

Saint Paul’s Catholic High School is a Voluntary Academy in the Diocese of Shrewsbury for boys and girls aged 11-16. Staff and students work together to create a vibrant and caring Christian community, focused on excellent teaching and learning together with high aspirations for what we can be and become. All are welcome in our school, which is inspired by faith and especially by the person and the work of Jesus and His followers. Our Mission Statement reminds us that life is connected to loving and learning and to following Jesus in the journey that is life:‘Journeying together with Jesus Christ, we learn to love and love to learn’ we aim to provide an education for the whole person, for the formation of human character through knowledge and skills, and values and virtues. For this reason, we have developed a strong emphasis on knowing our students well and living the Christian values of love, compassion, respect, service, and stewardship. St Paul, Apostle of Jesus and patron of our school, said that ‘without love we are nothing and he taught us what it means to put love into action. We follow these principles in our teaching and learning and our high expectations for good behavior and discipline in our school. Love is patient and kind it is not jealous or conceited or proud love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable love does not keep a record of wrongs love is not happy with evil but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up and its faith, hope, and patience never fail. (St Paul’s First Letter to people in Corinth Chapter 13 verses 4 – 7). Working together in partnership with our parishes and communities, we nurture these life-affirming values, encouraging each student’s spiritual and academic development. Working with the local and wider community is of high importance to us and community links are fully embedded into the life and work of the school and we believe they provide valuable experiences which support the curriculum and enhance our students’ learning. In line with our core values, we feel that through community projects our students will develop respect for others and care for the environment. Saint Paul's Catholic High School is welcoming.

The Catholic life and ethos, as well as the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural values held within the school, are based on the gospel of Christ. The school recognizes that there are some members of our community that do not share the faith or practices but welcomes and values their contribution. The school also recognizes that we are part of the wider community and the world, with its rich variety of faiths, cultures, and races. The primary aim is to underline the spiritual concerns of humanity (e.g. matters of life and death, the purpose of life, choices in life, etc.) ‘Theme of the week’ allow all pupils an opportunity to reflect on pertinent moral and spiritual themes. Spiritual development is experienced fundamentally through Religious Education and Chaplaincy. All pupils study RE until the end of Year 11, culminating in a Full course GCSE qualification. Religious Education lessons aid pupils to gain insight into their own religious beliefs and loyalties, sort out their personal and spiritual values and practices so that they may take up their spiritual allegiances. Moreover, it contributes to the moral and social development of our young people, developing consideration for others, an appreciation of human rights and responsibilities, and a concern for justice in society. Also, it develops in the pupil's respect for the practices of different religious faiths and a sympathetic understanding of their underlying values and concerns. It should develop a tolerance for the variety of beliefs and the customs of the citizens of our world. It is expected that wider opportunities exist in the school’s curriculum that enables pupils by discussion to think about religion and appreciate the variety of faiths by using art, drama, music, languages, science, and technology as well as humanities to heighten awareness of the spiritual dimension in our lives creating tasks which question pupils and enable them to work out their position on issues, both moral and religious.

Welcome to Saint Joseph’s Catholic Primary School. As a Catholic School, this too is our Mission. We want all of our children to love learning, achieve well, develop a spiritual dimension to their lives and be able to form positive relationships with others. Parents are the first teachers of their children, so as a school we look to work in partnership with families to help, guide, and nurture the children in our care. At Saint Joseph’s our priority is to ensure all children feel protected and safe. We strive to maintain and develop an atmosphere of love and trust and respect for all the different people who make up our community. We are a small multicultural family, welcoming, joyful, and relaxed a family of faith, ready to meet each other’s needs. Saint Joseph’s is a one-form entry, multicultural, Catholic primary school situated off Borough High Street in the ‘shadow of The Shard’. Although we serve a mainly Catholic Community, we also have children of other faiths and none. We are very much a ‘family’ community where there is respect and understanding of all the different people, whatever their background, who make up our school family. Over thirty different languages are represented in the school. Our children are and adults in school strive to set positive role models for the families who make up our community. We are an inclusive school, working together as a team to ensure each child achieves their best. And the child Jesus increased in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and men. Such an understanding of the meaning of the life of every person born into this world offers the model for everything we do at Saint Joseph’s Catholic Primary School. More importantly, we try to keep a feeling of love and trust, and respect for all the different people who make up our family. We are a small mixed team, welcoming, joyful, and relaxed family of faith, ready to meet each other’s needs. The power we seek is to know the wonders of God’s world. It is fun to discover, learn and explore. We are all special with our gifts and talents. We try to bring out the best in ourselves and everyone. We never give up on anyone. We look beyond our school to our homes, to local people, to local schools and workplaces. We are happy to show and to share what we love the most. In all this we look to the future: we need help to become more independent to prepare us for whatever life will give us and ask of us. As a Catholic school, our Catholic identity is very important to us. Throughout the year we celebrate the Liturgical Year as a school community and we try to involve our families wherever possible. By helping our children to understand the Catholic Christian traditions, they learn to respect and understand the beliefs of other world faiths. Church Feast Days are also celebrated in school with either Mass or a non-Eucharistic liturgy. St Joseph’s feast day is a particularly special day of celebration marked by liturgy and a ‘treat’ for the children. Each class has a Prayer space that is decorated to reflect the liturgical year and there are class prayer books which the children take in turns to take home and write a school prayer. Prayers are said daily at the start of the day, lunch-time and before the children go home at the end of the day. Individual classes also take turns in preparing whole school assemblies or liturgy for their parents. Years 4,5 and 6 celebrate a Class Mass based on some recent RE work that they have been studying. Jesus shows us what it means to be fully human. Our curriculum is planned to enable the children to develop to their full human potential: physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually, each according to his or her ability and age. As a Catholic school, Saint Joseph’s has a special role to play in the education of young Christians. Our approach to religion does not seek to “compartmentalize” but rather tries to get children to see God at work within the context of the children’s everyday lives. Our Religious Education teaching uses the ‘Learning and Growing as the people of God’ program which is taught from Year 1 to Year 6. In the Foundation Stage areas of learning are taken from the National RE Curriculum Directory and taught through the termly topic. Therefore we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum that offers the best education for our children. And since ultimately everything relates to God, every part of the curriculum has a spiritual dimension. In the Foundation Stage (Nursery and Reception), the curriculum is organized into seven areas of learning. The characteristics of effective learning are key to planning for the Foundation Stage. These are: Playing and Exploring (willing to have a go and find out) Active Learning (concentrating and keep on trying) and Critical Thinking (problem-solving / finding new ways to do things). The learning in Key Stages 1 and 2 follows the National Curriculum (2014). Teachers plan an exciting and stimulating curriculum to promote active learning. A variety of learning styles are used to encourage independent and group learning and to developing thinking skills. View full school

Our identity as a Catholic school and our school’s distinctive Salesian ethos is based on St John Bosco’s vision that ‘it is not enough for every child to be loved… they must know that they are loved. We are proud to be a Christian community where everyone can flourish and every child is known by name. St John Bosco’s educational philosophy was rooted in faith and has been summarized as ‘reason, religion and kindness. We educate our pupils with these three words in mind, focusing on their academic and spiritual development and modeling the values of love and forgiveness found in the gospel. “Pupils mix well in this harmonious environment and benefit from personalized support and guidance” Ofsted May 2017 Our curriculum is carefully designed to make sure it meets the needs of all our students with a good range of options at both GCSE and A-Level. Students enjoy being at the school and appreciate the care and guidance given to them by staff to support them as they grow into young adults. “The school’s vision that ‘it is not enough for young people to be loved, they must know that they are loved’ permeates the school’s culture” Ofsted May 2017 Developing Young People is the Essence of our School: Our purpose is to fulfill the extraordinary human and spiritual potential of each student. As they grow up we offer them the knowledge and skills necessary to engage creatively in the lifelong task of growing to human and spiritual maturity. Educating the Heart is the Key to All Excellence: Only when a school radiates an atmosphere of deep appreciation, mutual respect, and genuine affection can excellent academic, spiritual, moral, and physical education take place. Education to the Faith Marks us as Different: We see education as fundamentally part of a spiritual quest, to which all teaching and learning contributes. We offer our students the experience of being part of a living Catholic community, where faith, life, and learning are integrated. We prepare them to become valuable members of society, able to earn their living and contribute to the common good. Prayer, worship, and the sacraments form the context for Religious Education and encourage the engagement of students in practical outreach to those less fortunate than themselves. Highest Academic Standards: Our school is committed to achieving the highest standards of learning and teaching for all its students. Every student will be offered the teaching, guidance, and support necessary for them to achieve the highest standards that they are capable of. Regular assessment, target setting, and reviews will enable students, parents governors, and staff to check on their progress and promote the highest standards. Education is Wider than Just the Classroom: Extra-curricular activities promote genuine inter-personal dialogue between adults and the young and are the key to an excellent education. Both staff and students will be open to listening and learning, engaging together in exploring their knowledge and deepening understanding of the new horizons that our world constantly presents. At the heart of the ethos is the teaching of the Catholic Church and the educational approach of Saint John Bosco. The educational philosophy of Don Bosco can be condensed into three words: reason, religion, and kindness. The basic principle of his system was a deep understanding and love for young people and their problems. His motto, 'it is not enough for every child to be loved, they must know that they are loved' embodies his approach perfectly. Our school ethos is summed up by RUAH: Respect, Understanding, Affection, and Humour. These four principles underpin every aspect of our school life and together spell out the Hebrew word for 'breath of life' or 'spirit'. Pupils enjoy a school life that is supported by prayer, worship, a celebration of the Eucharist, and excellent chaplaincy provision. Also, high-quality personalized learning helps all pupils to achieve their potential, whether they need excellent academic training or a more vocational approach. The aims of the Curriculum are: To ensure that all students develop and fulfill their potential. To provide opportunities for students to achieve good outcomes and move onto the next stage of learning successfully. To provide an education that is appropriate to the demands of the future. To encourage our students to adopt a problem-solving approach to their studies. To provide an educational framework appropriate to each student's age, ability and aptitude i.e. to meet the needs of all learners. To provide students with the skills to aid their progress into independent, self-motivated learners within a framework of clear expectations and an appropriate code of behavior. To encourage in those we teach independence of mind, and enjoyment of learning and confidence in their potential, sharing and celebrating success and achievement whenever possible. To provide a curriculum that focuses on children's core skills in Mathematics, English, and Science. To enable each student to become a sensible and responsible adult, developing self-esteem, self-discipline, and respect for others. Saint John Bosco College believes that effective assessment systems enhance progress and ultimately achievement. Rigorous assessment allows all pupils to be supported and challenged for all subjects in all years. All students are set aspirational yet realistic targets for all subjects in all years. Targets are set based on a variety of information including end of Key Stage 2 scores for English and Maths, FFT D, and internal benchmarking. Targets are reviewed every half term to ensure pupils are set appropriately and no ceiling is placed on achievement. View full school
