Our 2017 A-Level results were exceptional, and this is just the start. We are confident that at the NCS we will achieve superb examination results year on year. However, we want more than just this success for our students. At the NCS we believe that our students should be equipped with the skills, dispositions, and habits of mind to be the leaders of tomorrow and to make a difference in their society. Our educational philosophy is rooted in the idea that irrespective of a student’s background they have the capabilities to achieve and succeed at the highest levels and it is our role to nurture and develop this within a caring and supportive environment. It is our vision ‘to inspire students to do what inspires them empowering all to make a positive and lasting contribution to society and it is this absolute belief in the potential of young people that forms the foundation of our work and permeates all areas of the NCS’ work. From the moment our students walk through our doors, there is a belief that nothing is impossible if you have the right mindset, the commitment and resilience to succeed, and the necessary support and guidance to help you. We want our students to have dreams of becoming the Prime Minister of the UK, finding the cure for cancer, or winning the Nobel Peace Prize. We will prepare you to be the future leaders of your chosen profession and our society. View full school

We are one of the smallest Primary Schools in the City of Edinburgh, offering high-quality education in a village school setting. Our much-loved building has been attended by generations of local families for over 100 years. The first village school in Newcraighall was very small. It was situated on the opposite side of the road from the present building behind the cottages. In 1897, a new pit opened and many miners and their families moved into the village. Much bigger premises were needed and the present school building was constructed by Inveresk School Board to cope with this demand. The school was built on one acre of the ground by Sir Charles Dalrymple, the local landowner. It was red stone from Closeburn Quarry and rubble from Hopetoun and Bankstone Quarries. The building was designed by a young architect Mr. Murray Hardie and was the first school designed by him. It was intended to hold 300 children up to the age of 10 and consisted of a large central hall with five classrooms off, cloakroom, and boys and girls lavatories – outside! The building was heated by hot water pipes with radiators in the hall and corridors. At Newcraighall Primary School high-quality learning opportunities will be provided by an enthusiastic and committed staff within a caring, happy and safe environment. Everyone will be valued and respected and all individuals encouraged to achieve their full potential at school, at home, and in the community. Our Aims: To promote an atmosphere of equality and fairness in which everyone can work cooperatively, independently, and confidently. To provide a broad and balanced curriculum which acknowledges the importance of the core skills of literacy, numeracy, health, and well-being and lays the foundations for effective lifelong learning. To promote achievement and raise standards of attainment by having high expectations and through effective partnership working. To work closely with the home and family to enable each child to become an active and responsible member of a health-promoting community. To provide positive support for all staff in the further development of their skills to enhance the quality of learning and teaching. We are committed to providing a safe, caring, and happy school where everyone is valued and respected. We aim to provide a calm, purposeful and nurturing environment which supports learning and teaching. We believe that secure and trusting relationships are central to the healthy development of each individual. We expect everyone to give their best at all times. We celebrate all that the children have achieved through our classroom and school displays, newsletters, assemblies, photograph albums, learning logs, and Our Golden Tree of Achievement. We offer as wide a range of sporting and cultural activities as possible. There is a range of extracurricular activities available for pupils after school. These vary from term to term. Parents will be informed about these. In addition to in-school activities, classes also make regular educational visits and field studies, These visits are linked to pupils’ classwork. Visits usually incur some costs and while these are usually subsided from funds, there is usually a charge to parents. View full school

Newall Green Primary School is a community school for children aged 3 through to the transfer to secondary school-aged 11 years. Set in extensive tree-lined grounds on a very attractive parkland site, in the Wythenshawe district of Manchester offering approximately 700 places for children. Being a large school means that we can offer each child a lot of opportunities but we also pride ourselves that each child is treated as an individual. This is born out by being a partner in the Lancasterian School Barrier-Free initiative, which means that Newall Green Primary School is proud to be able to offer places to pupils with disabilities. We value children in their own right and show respect for their values, culture, and religious beliefs. Newall Green Primary School is one of the largest primary schools in Manchester. It is very important to us that the school retains the friendly 'family feel' that can be found in Primary Schools which are much smaller in size. We are proud of our commitment to raising standards for all our pupils and ensuring that all have the opportunity to reach their full potential. We promote a caring, learning community, where everyone is encouraged, valued, and may flourish. We provide guidance and support for our pupils and their families. There is strong pastoral care from all staff and everyone has a valuable contribution to make to the success of our school. At Newall Green Primary School we want every child and family to work in a supportive, inclusive school so that they make outstanding progress from their starting point. Each child will develop their core skills through a curriculum that promotes Social, Moral, Spiritual, and Cultural development using ‘Peace Mala’ and ‘PATHs.’ This will be embedded in a curriculum that holds outdoor learning central to its focus. As the Admissions Authority for the community and voluntary controlled schools in Manchester, the LA is required to draft, consult on, and determine their admission arrangements. Where there are more applicants than places available the LA will apply the admission arrangements to decide which applicants will be offered places. Admission arrangements for voluntary aided schools, foundation schools, free schools, and academies are set by their Governing Body, who are, the Admission Authority for their establishment. They are responsible for drafting, consulting on, and determining their admission arrangements. Copies of admissions arrangements for these types of schools/academies in Manchester can be found on the school/academy website and the LA’s website. They are also available on request from the relevant school/academy and the LA. All parents/carers are required to apply to their home LA regardless of where the school/academy they are applying to is situated. Manchester residents will apply to Manchester LA. The LA will liaise with other Admissions Authorities in Manchester and other LAs where required. Manchester LA will inform parents/carers in writing of the outcome of their application. A Published Admission Number (PAN) is the number of places a school/academy has in the year of entry. Places will normally only be offered up to the published admission number. A child cannot be refused admission to the normal year of entry on the grounds of prejudice to the provision of efficient education and efficient use of resources unless the published admission number has been reached. Outside of the year of entry, it is expected that the PAN will continue to be applied. However, if circumstances at the school/academy have changed since the year of entry, a place may be refused even if the admission number has not been reached. Our curriculum has our children at its heart. We believe in an exciting and engaging curriculum that is stimulating, challenging, and fun, and a curriculum that offers our children a wealth of experiences and new challenges. On this page, you can find details for each school year. This is in line with DfE's expectations of schools from September 2014. Each child will develop their core skills through a curriculum that promotes Social, Moral, Spiritual, and Cultural development using 'Peace Mala' and 'PATHS'. This will be embedded within a curriculum that holds outdoor learning central to its focus. An integral part of this policy is to ensure that our children are protected from being drawn into terrorism or associated activities. We make certain of this through our robust safeguarding systems. Any children at risk of such activities will be identified and the correct support put into place. All our staff are aware of their responsibilities in the safeguarding of children and will ensure that this responsibility is thoroughly adhered to. The DfE have recently reinforced the need “to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.” View full school

Newall Green High School's sixth form is aimed at meeting the needs of students who are not yet ready for the transition to larger colleges and higher-level courses. Its focus is to prepare students for progression onto further education or apprenticeships. Since our launch in September 2009, we have developed a range of excellent courses, which focus on the development of basic work-related skills and sector learning. The offer was designed to meet the needs of those 16 years olds that may not be ready for the transition to a large college or higher-level course and those not yet ready for the world of work. We recognize that some students may need a high level of support to build confidence and resilience, they may also need more guidance and help with employability and work-related learning skills. Our sixth form provision places a high emphasis on developing these skills and getting students ready for the next stage pathway. Our Profession Pathway, which in partnership with local businesses and apprenticeship providers is designed to enhance skills, develop sector-related knowledge and provide a clear route into employment or further training. It is a one-year program focusing on the development of basic work-related skills and sector learning. We utilize our outstanding facilities and draw on the expertise of our staff, many with substantial industry experience. Our Sixth Form Admissions Policy is based on the principle that there is an appropriate course or program of study accessible for all. Students, existing and prospective, are required to submit an application form and they will be offered an Information, Advice, and Guidance Meeting to help support them in deciding on a program of study that best suits their needs and future aspirations At Newall Green High School we are committed to providing high-quality educational opportunities for all our students. Newall Green High school is built on and driven by our core values represented by STRIVE. Each letter represents a different value. Our work ethic grades which are reported to parents along with progress grades also reflect STRIVE. The name highlights the need for our pupils to think about the world of work and to develop the skills required by future employees. The accompanying wording for the Work Ethic Grades makes it clear to students exactly what we expect in our lessons and around School. It is quite challenging for our pupils to achieve a grade 1 – but that is how they will achieve their full potential at Newall Green High School and be in a fantastic position to achieve well in the future. The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gaps between them and their peers. Schools must publish annually an evaluation of their pupil premium spending for the academic year and also plans to spend for the new academic year. Our Learning 2 Learn base provides a nurturing environment within the school for students who require extra support for their social and emotional development their progress and achievement are monitored carefully using alternative, nationally developed systems. The SENDCo and other staff consult with parents and students to design Student Profiles showing how best to support individual children we are happy to meet with parents regularly outside of Reviews and Parents Evenings.

We are a special school that supports all children from 5 to 14 who have SEMH as their main need. We admit children from all Lewisham mainstream schools who are referred to us. We will support the child and the family to put in support mechanisms and strategies to help manage behavior/learning progress. We have an open-door policy for all parents and encourage you to come up to the school no matter how small your worry maybe, we can nearly always find a solution to the problem. We recognize the most difficult job in the world is bringing up children in modern society and are here to help support all parents and carers through what is often a difficult time in that child/young person’s life. In anything we do for the pupils, we must be thoroughly prepared, totally committed & hugely enthusiastic because we never want to think afterward “What a wasted opportunity”. We are the last opportunity so we have to be the best. Our desire to get better, ability to try new things & learn from our errors, our blatant refusal to stand still & our commitment to make it happen must be at the heart of everything we do.

At New Park, our Children are safe, loved, and learning. All pupils at New Park are expected to: To co-operate with other pupils and adults. To listen to instructions and do what they are asked to do the first time they are asked. To work hard and allow others to do the same. To be polite. We expect all children to use 'excuse me, 'please', 'thank you' as a minimum and to speak to all teaching and support staff quietly and courteously. To take care of the property and the environment in and out of school. To treat everyone with respect and to show consideration for the needs of others. UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) is the organization working specifically for children and their rights. Its mission is to campaign for the protection of children’s rights to meet children’s basic needs and empower them to realize their full potential. UNICEF UK believes that these values should be embedded in the ethos and curriculum of our schools, and provides a framework to accomplish this. This is the purpose of the RRSA (Rights Respecting School Award). At New Park, all children learn about their rights and responsibilities. They learn to associate rights with needs and distinguish between their rights and ‘wants. They learn that if they have rights, they need to respect the rights of others. It is made clear that children not only have rights but also the responsibility to respect the rights of others. That includes respect for parents, their values, and culture. The Convention recognizes the central importance of parents. It says that the government must respect the responsibility of parents for providing appropriate guidance for their children, including how children shall exercise their rights. At New Park Primary School we value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of all pupils and families and undertake a variety of events and lessons to celebrate these. We have found this approach to be enriching for all parties as it teaches tolerance and respect for the differences in our community and the wider world. Underpinning all of this is a range of curriculum topics, which have strong links to the British Empire. At New Park, these values are reinforced regularly and in the following ways: Democracy, The Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect, Tolerance of those of Different Faiths and Beliefs. Children in the Early Years are introduced to the characters - Kipper, Chip, Biff, Floppy, Mum, and Dad in the phonics teaching books, which gives them a secure first step on their reading journey. As children work through the stages of the scheme, they will be heard reading regularly in school and their word reading and understanding will be assessed. Children are also able to choose their books from a wide range in our class libraries and from our Reading for Pleasure area in school. As soon as children are assessed as competent readers and that have a secure understanding of what they have read, they will have more freedom to choose their titles from the books we have in school. Reading is taught in many different ways at New Park and runs through all lessons. Teachers, teaching assistants, and volunteers listen to children read individually on a one-to-one basis regularly. This provides children with valuable one-to-one time, support and guidance. There are Shared Reading sessions that involve children sharing the reading of a piece of text while supported by the teacher. The teacher models the skills of good readers, including reading with fluency and expression. Guided Reading is taught in regular sessions when children work in small groups of similar reading abilities supported by the teacher. During these sessions we will look at a text in detail, discussing the meaning of what we have read and we will practice specific skills for comprehension such as decoding and inference, and deduction.

Here at New Oscott Primary, we strive to put our children first. We are proud to be highly regarded within our local community as a caring and high-achieving school, which is very firmly committed to providing the very richest, high-quality curriculum for all our pupils. One of the distinctive characteristics of our school is the friendly, supportive atmosphere in which everyone feels valued and secure. We are proud to be a caring school where the well-being and development of every individual are of paramount importance. We are passionate about learning and aim for every child to have a happy and active primary education. Our enthusiastic and dedicated staff provide a well-planned and challenging education of a high standard within a stimulating and supportive environment in which all children are encouraged to reach their full potential. We treat all our pupils individually, developing their sense of worth and confidence, and encourage unique talents to flourish in every child. Education is a partnership between home and school and we place a great deal of emphasis on our partnership with parents. We believe that children learn best when home and school work together for their benefit. All maintained schools must meet the Education Act 2002 to promote the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development of their pupils. The expectation is that through ensuring SMSC development, schools can also demonstrate that they are actively promoting fundamental British values. Fundamental British values are described as ‘democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. SMSC development incorporates collective worship the development of relationships throughout the school and engagement in activities beyond the classroom. The promoting of British values builds on all of our existing work to develop our positive ethos with our children, for example for children to regard all people, regardless of faith, race, and culture, with respect and tolerance. Within school, this would include children with disabilities and a range of special needs. At New Oscott we place learning at the heart of all that we do. We are keen to develop independent, reflective learners with the ability to assess their learning potential and increase their capacity to learn as they develop in age and maturity. We want to equip children with the skills, techniques, and vocabulary to talk about their learning more effectively. Building Learning Power is the mechanism through which we are enabling this.

At New Moston Primary School the children learn from a wonderful team of staff and have plenty of exciting experiences for outdoor and indoor learning as well as a wide selection of after-school activities. The ethos of the school is to provide children with creative and challenging opportunities and to enable each child to reach their potential. As well as academic achievement, we, at New Moston, celebrate and encourage our pupils' development into responsible and caring members of our community. We regularly ask parents and carers for feedback to let us know their views of our school and where we may need to improve. For example, as a result of previous feedback, we have changed the way that homework is set, making it more interactive for each pupil alongside their family we have also reviewed our anti-bullying policy to ensure that all stakeholders know the definition of bullying and know our procedures for investigating any issues that are brought to our attention. We are delighted with the results, especially as 93% of parents and carers would currently recommend New Moston Primary School to other families. We would like to thank the parents and carers whose children attend our school for their support we are always striving to improve and this feedback lets us know how we are doing and informs our future practice. At New Moston Primary School we constantly strive to deliver the highest quality Physical Education, sport, and physical activity opportunities for all of our children. We value the positive impact that good health has upon learning and school life and are committed to meeting the physical, mental, and social health needs of our children. ICT and related technologies such as e-mail, the Internet, and mobile devices are an integral part of our daily school life. This policy is will ensure that all stakeholders are aware of their responsibilities when using technology. E-Safety is a safeguarding issue not solely an ICT issue and all members of the school community have a duty to be aware of e-safety at all times, to know the required procedures, and to act on them. This document aims to put into place effective management systems and arrangements which will maximize the educational and social benefit that can be obtained by exploiting the benefits and opportunities of using ICT, whilst minimizing any associated risks. It describes actions that should be put in place to redress any concerns about child welfare and safety as well as how to protect children, young people, and staff from risks and infringements. This policy complements and supports other relevant school and Local Authority policies. Please refer to appendices for additional supporting policies and information. The Equality Act 2010 was introduced to ensure protection from discrimination, harassment, and victimization on the grounds of specific characteristics (referred to as protected characteristics). For schools, this means that it is unlawful to discriminate against individuals or treat them less favorably because of their gender race age disability religion, or belief in gender reassignment sexual orientation pregnancy, or maternity. Under the Act, the school is expected to comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED). Our Equalities Policy is in line with national guidance and contains information about how the school complies with the Public Sector Equality Duty. We also give guidance to staff and the wider school community on our approach to promoting equality. Our Equality Objectives reflect the school's priorities, our values and draw upon available data and other evidence. Careful analysis of this is undertaken to ensure that we are working to achieve improved outcomes for different groups. At New Moston Primary School, we believe that it is every child’s right to achieve his/her full potential regardless of ability, gender, race, or socio-economic circumstance. We recognize that although the majority of children should achieve this through the differentiated curriculum, there are some children whose learning or social and emotional mental health requires additional or different provision. At New Moston Primary School we recognize the vital role that parents/carers have as educators and that they know their child best. We will therefore ensure that parents/carers are informed and involved at all stages and decisions. Informal and formal meetings will be held throughout the time the child is identified as having special needs. Parents/carers will be invited to regular review meetings, in addition to Parents’ Evenings, where they will be encouraged to contribute their views and help create new targets for their child. All children on the SEND list are encouraged to be actively involved in setting targets and in reviewing strategies that work for them via review meetings. Pupils with an EHCP and/or Social, Emotional, and Mental Health Difficulties (SEMH) have an additional Pupil Profile document where they reflect upon and plan their provision according to their individual needs. There is a strong liaison between New Moston Primary School and the previous and next phase of education. Additional supported induction visits are also arranged for some children. Records are forwarded to the receiving schools. Members of the SEND Team are relentless in gaining and sharing information regarding pupils with SEND so that a smooth transition can be achieved and their needs met. View full school
