New Islington Free School is a vibrant and creative learning community where learning comes to life. We provide educational experiences in real contexts and for real purposes, to enable our pupils to seek new possibilities and find new solutions. The positive and productive atmosphere throughout school sets the tone for learning and creates an environment where pupils can thrive. Our staff have the highest aspirations for each child’s learning and personal development and have created a culture in which all achievements are valued and celebrated, and all needs are supported. Our school curriculum draws on the best of the National Curriculum and the International Primary Curriculum. We want to equip all our pupils with the skills they need to embrace the new opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences they will encounter during their lives in modern Britain and the wider world. For this reason, our curriculum includes strong society and international elements, and we continually promote our school personal goals: inquiry, adaptability, resilience, morality, communication, cooperation, thoughtfulness, and respect. These are eight key personal attributes that are essential in adult life and work, whatever the future holds. New Islington pupils leave primary school well-equipped for the next stage of their education, with a firm foundation of knowledge, understanding and skills, and a love of learning. New Islington Free School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Every employee (permanent or temporary) and governor of the school, as well as every volunteer who assists the school, is under a legal duty to protect children from harm. The members of the academy trust have a different status to the governors. The members are the subscribers to the academy trust’s memorandum of an association whose powers include the authority to appoint governors. Members have limited financial liability to the academy trust if it is wound up, which is set out in the Trust’s memorandum and articles of association. The Members may appoint up to 10 Governors. Together, Governors comprise the Governing Body which in turn may appoint further governors under the terms detailed in the Articles of Association. The Governors, as trustees of the Academy Trust, are legally responsible for the overall management and control of the Academy Trust and the Full Governing Body meets at least three times a year. The work of implementing most of their policies is carried out by the Finance Committee (which meets approximately two weeks before each meeting of the full Governing Body) and the other principal committees (Estates Committee Teaching and Learning Committee Pupil Performance Review Group Remuneration Committee Communication and Fundraising Committee). The Audit Committee fulfills the Trust's obligations under its funding agreement to have robust internal and external audit procedures in place. At least one member of the Audit Committee is a suitably qualified, independent person who is not otherwise involved in the governance or management of the Trust. The day-to-day running of the Academy Trust is delegated to the Principal and the Bursar (School Business Manager), supported by a staff team with defined areas of responsibility. At New Islington Free School, reading has a high profile and we aim to inspire children to become eager and confident readers. We introduce children to a wealth of quality children’s literature, every class has dedicated storytime, and books are often used as a stimulus for work in all curriculum areas. We teach our youngest children to read using 'Oxford Reading Tree', a carefully structured reading scheme that offers a range of fiction and non-fiction books at every level. In school, children take part in regular 'guided reading' sessions, in which a group of children shares a book with their teacher. They may discuss the plot, characters, and writing techniques used by the author. We value the contribution parents make to the teaching of reading and phonics. Every child has a reading record, which charts their reading progress. Teachers offer ongoing guidance, praise, and reassurance to parents about their child’s reading. As well as the reading record and informal discussions, teachers report to parents about reading progress during parents' evenings twice a year and in annual reports. From Year 2, children move onto 'Accelerated Reader', a program that develops their independent reading skills, comprehension, and motivation for reading. After each book they read, pupils take a short online Accelerated Reader quiz, which provides detailed information for their teacher. Children can use the AR Bookfinder website at home to search for books - from school, the library, or bookshops - which are precisely matched to their reading ability and interests. This approach encourages our children to enjoy reading, even more, to read more often, to think positively about reading, and to see a clear link between reading and their successes. Phonics is taught systematically throughout the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. We hold workshops for parents in the Autumn term. These events allow parents to learn more about how we teach reading and phonics at New Islington Free School and show how parents can best support their children's reading progress. View full school

New Hall is a Catholic independent boarding & day school for girls and boys aged 1-18. New Hall School operates the highly successful ‘diamond model’, where students are educated in co-educational classes from ages 1 to 11 and at Sixth Form. However, from ages 11 to 16 they are taught in single-sex lessons. Click on one of the four diamonds below to find out more about our divisions. The main benefits of the ‘diamond model’ and five years of single-sex teaching derive from the ability to tailor pastoral and academic provision more sensitively and expertly to the needs of young people going through the physical, emotional, and social upheaval of adolescence. Young teenagers are liberated from the negative peer pressure of having to perform in mixed classes. The gender stereotyping of subjects is also removed. Girls and boys follow an identical curriculum and do not learn to perceive subjects as being more suited to either girls or boys. The Sixth Form experience at New Hall is about expanding students’ horizons, both in their specialist areas of study and, more generally, in terms of their personal development. From the moment New Hall students first travel up the mile-long, tree-lined avenue that leads to the grand façade of the former Tudor palace, they will be given individual opportunities to grow, learn, be challenged, and to develop into confident young men and women. New Hall is set in an idyllic and convenient location, on the outskirts of the City of Chelmsford, Essex, just 30 minutes by train from London and within easy reach of all major London airports. As a Catholic independent boarding & day school, at New Hall with every student, we aim to educate the whole person: academically, creatively, and socially, in a community that also nurtures the spiritual dimensions of human life. New Hall, a Catholic boarding and day school, provides the best start in life, enabling students to meet confidently the challenges of the wider world. Here academic excellence is achieved in surroundings where relationships are based on care, trust, and respect. We welcome students from many traditions, building a Christian community that has at its heart prayer and service to others. As a Catholic independent coeducational boarding School, New Hall sets out to provide its students with the best start in life. To give students an experience of life in a Christian community: Affirming each individual as a unique part of God’s creation, and nurturing in each person a sense of dignity and self-worth Fostering caring relationships, a sense of team spirit, and respect for others.

At Netley, we are dedicated to giving our children the best possible start in life. As a Rights Respecting School, the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child Charter is at the heart of our school curriculum, policy and practice. We also offer the children the opportunity to act as champions of children’s rights and to develop their global citizenship. We nurture the children’s innate curiosity and creativity as they progress through the school and we are constantly evolving our curriculum to ensure it remains relevant and engaging. Netley has many long-standing partners who support our ethos and inclusive approach the children are often allowed to work with specialists, entrepreneurs, and artists from outside the school. Partners such as The Place, The Knowledge Quarter, and Regent’s Place have all contributed significantly to developing co-designed projects. We have outstanding practitioners including specialist leaders of education who engage in research, support, and train other teachers within Camden and beyond. Through the Executive Headship model, the school is also in a partnership with Robson House and collaborates closely with education and health professionals and the Adult Learning Centre, all of whom are located in Netley Campus. We harness a strong belief that working closely with our parents will support the children in their learning and their well-being. By the time they leave the school, we want our children to have a strong sense of identity and to be confident and responsible citizens. By working closely with parents and providing our children with an encouraging and supportive learning environment, we believe every child can succeed. We are proud that Netley brings children and families together from an array of different backgrounds and we believe it fosters a vibrant sense of community on campus. We encourage any prospective pupils and their parents to visit us and see first-hand what it is like to be a part of the Netley community.

Nether Currie Primary School is on the outskirts of Edinburgh, in the southwest of the city. Edinburgh is the Capital City of Scotland in the United Kingdom. The school was built in 1961 and lies at the center of an attractive housing estate with the majority of children living locally and able to walk to school. Our pupils are in 7 classes from Primary 1 to Primary 7, covering the ages 4 to 12. Most children move to the local secondary school - Currie Community High School - after Primary 7. Our very good links with the High School ensure that the transition is as seamless as possible. We also work closely with Juniper Green and Currie, the other two cluster primaries. We have a large playground with plenty of room for children to play a range of games. Extensive grassed areas with picnic tables are also enjoyed by pupils whenever possible, as well as a climbing wall, climbing ropes, a tunnel, and access to the woods and play area in Muirwood Park. The school is an important part of the local community. The many groups involved with our school include a very active Parent Teacher Association and an elected Parent Council. An established partnership with The Friends of Muirwood Park also helps to support our work and there are good links with Currie Library and Currie Kirk. The single-story, split-level building contains 7 classrooms and associated cloakroom and toilet facilities, a support for learning base, and a library. There is a large hall (with stage) which provides accommodation for dining, recreation and social gatherings, and a bright, well-equipped gymnasium. At Nether Currie we strive for excellence academically whilst also seeking to develop each child's interpersonal skills, values, and beliefs. To support this process we have eight values that are embedded into the life of the school. These are: Caring Healthy Active Responsible Inclusive Safe Motivated Achieving Children are rewarded for displaying these values through our house points system. The children have been working hard this year to develop a character to represent each of our values, and this family of characters will be published in time for the next school year. To help promote a positive learning environment that nurtures the development of our school values, each child is placed in one of our three school houses: Kinleith, Lennox, and Norton. Children earn house points for displaying our school values, and these are totaled up at the end of each week. The winning house gets an extra five minutes of break time the following week. Each house has children from Primary 1 to 7 allowing our older children to inspire, care for, and help to nurture our youngest children. Each year there are many opportunities for houses to meet and complete tasks, collaborate, and compete with the other houses in a very positive way. By creating opportunities for our children to compete and succeed in a supportive and structured environment, we are encouraging them to aim high and become the very best they can be. At Nether Currie we strive to create a warm and caring environment where children and staff treat each other with mutual trust and respect. We believe that this approach creates the most effective learning environment, both in terms of academic attainment as well as the development of children's values and beliefs. We believe that learning positive and appropriate behavior is an incredibly important part of developing our children as people. In school, we use a restorative approach to behavior management which seeks to restore positive relationships through discussion and reflection. This is also very effective as a preventive measure as our children become more able to manage their behavior, stopping things from getting out of hand before they do. Building strong and trusting relationships between all involved in the school is very important in delivering the best outcomes for our children. Positive relationships have been linked with improved interpersonal skills, motivation, and attainment. At Nether Currie we seek to develop positive relationships through restorative practice, our school values, our house points system, and our day-to-day interactions between staff and children. We employ a unique blend of fun and humor to the serious task of education, helping our children to feel safe, happy, and motivated to come to school. Staff model polite, kind, caring, and nurturing behavior reinforcing our school values every day and in every lesson. View full school

We are a medium-sized primary school educating 4-11-year-olds located in Whitton. We pride ourselves on being a warm and friendly school and welcome a broad intake of children from Whitton and the surrounding areas. We currently have 500 children on roll and are proud to have a happy, diverse mix of cultures. We are expanding from a two-form entry school to a three-form entry school. We currently have three forms of entry in Reception to Year 4 and we are growing year on year. We are situated in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, close to Twickenham Rugby Stadium. Our school is on a spacious site in Nelson Road, a short distance from Whitton High Street. Our exceptionally large playing field is a tremendous asset providing the children with a pleasant, green, and open environment in which to learn and play. We are a busy and friendly school, with lots going on. This website aims to give you a taster of our school, as well as providing regularly updated information for both parents and pupils. We have a warm supportive ethos and children who are enthusiastic to learn from a wide range of learning challenges shared with them every day by experienced and committed staff. We aim to ensure that everyone who walks into our school community feels welcome and can participate in the exciting learning that takes place while enjoying our stimulating environments. We value everyone and enable them to achieve their full potential, developing their knowledge and skills to support them in their everyday life. Nelson school follows the guidelines of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames on all admissions procedures. Our current admission level is 30 pupils per class from Reception to Year 6. We are in the process of consulting with the Secretary of State to change the Published Admission Number (PAN) to 60 from September 2018. Children generally start school in Reception during the school year in which they become 5 years old, typically known as ‘rising 5s’. School begins for most of these children in September, at the start of the school year. Nelson currently admits 90 children into Reception, organized into 3 classes but is consulting on reducing the PAN to 60 from September 2018. Transfer from Nelson Nursery to Reception is not automatic. We also welcome children from a range of nursery schools, other settings, or from home. Some children join Nelson from other local schools, from schools elsewhere in the UK, or from overseas during the school year, all known as ‘in-year admissions. If a vacancy exists in any age group, then an offer can be made because oversubscription criteria such as siblings already in school or distance from the school do not apply. As a school, we are committed to providing a rich creative curriculum that prepares our pupils to be lifelong independent learners in the 21st Century. Our creative curriculum includes the National Curriculum core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science, Information, and Communication Technology (ICT) and Religious Education and the foundation subjects of Technology, Art, Geography, History, Music, and Physical Education (PE). Children are assessed regularly as to their progress in these subjects and these assessments provide accurate, accessible information about what pupils know, understand, and can do. We believe that partnerships with parents promote children’s learning. Working together we actively support children’s learning and development. Our partnership with parents provides an excellent education and an equal chance for all of our children. Together we support each child’s learning to help them achieve their best and to meet their unique needs. Together we positively promote the school in the local community. All children may experience some difficulties in learning from time to time during their school life. We aim to provide equal access to the whole curriculum for all children including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All teaching staff is involved in the learning and development of pupils with SEND. Parents and carers are involved at all stages. The PE and sport premium is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the PE and sports activities they offer to pupils. We believe that physical exercise not only improves health, reduces stress, and improves concentration, but also promotes correct physical growth and development. Exercise has a positive influence on academic achievement, emotional stability, and interaction with others. Through sport and other physical activities, our children will learn about their responsibilities both as individuals members of groups, and teams. They learn to cooperate and to compete fairly, understanding their own and other’s roles. View full school

Nancy Reuben Primary School is a high achieving Independent Selective Orthodox Jewish School for boys and girls aged 2-11. The school was rated good overall by Ofsted in October 2017. Our pupils come from Hendon, Golders Green, Finchley, Edgware, St Johns Wood, and across North West London. The school attracts families from both Sefardi and Ashkenazi backgrounds. Uniquely among local Jewish schools, we have a Play Group and Pre-Kindergarten on-site meaning that we cater for children from age 2. In April 2017, a new Head Teacher Anthony Wolfson joined the school along with a new Head of Kodesh Mr. Jeremy Richards. They were joined in September 2017 by Mrs. Shelley Cohen as Teaching Deputy Head. The new Senior Leadership Team has set out on a journey to make Nancy Reuben Primary a center of academic excellence in Kodesh and secular studies. Supported by a fabulous group of professionals on the teaching and support staff and a new Governing Body this team has made a massive impact. Consequently, NRPS is thriving and going from strength to strength. In October 2017, Ofsted judged the school as a good school and noted the rapid improvements made in a very short period. Our distinctive character is that we are a community school and a family in every sense of the word. The school is well known for its warmth and our uniqueness as a school lies in the fact that despite the rich Sefardi and Ashkenazi traditions of our pupils, the school has always functioned as a family where everyone feels valued and welcome. We strive for academic excellence whilst endeavoring to create a caring and nurturing environment that will ensure the spiritual, moral, and academic growth of every child in a Torah framework. At Nancy Reuben, we recognize that the integration of secular studies with Kodesh serves to strengthen both curricula Our pupils are very important to us and so, as well as prioritizing academic progress in Kodesh and secular, we constantly strive to make sure that pupils develop socially in terms of self-esteem and confidence. We encourage our children to have a go at things and we always look to praise the children whenever possible. We hope that NRPS pupils will become lifelong learners with a true sense of pride in themselves, their achievements and will be proud and responsible citizens in the school and wider community too. Our pupils' excellent attainment allows them to go successfully onto secondary schools of choice. Our Summer 2017 cohort of Year 6 pupils went on to Hasmonean, Immanuel, JFS, and Haberdashers, and once there, we know NRPS pupils flourish. Pupils who transfer to Hasmonean often make it into the top sets for Kodesh. Our parent body is a close-knit group of people who go out of their way to welcome new families and children. The PTA at Nancy Reuben runs an amazing array of events throughout the year all of which support projects at the school that enhances provision. The most recent example of this is the new Early Years Foundation Stage Outdoor all-weather classroom which was professionally installed at the end of October 2017. Our secular and Kodesh Curricula are broad and offer a rich mix of formal and informal learning opportunities throughout the year. To support this, since September 2017, we have offered a great new choice of before and after-school enrichment clubs including Music, Israeli dancing, Football, Art, Choir, Chess, Netball, Multi- Sports and Gymnastics.

This school opened in September 2013 as a four-form entry primary school, located next door to Guru Nanak Academy. As Executive Principal across the Multi-Academy Trust, I am proud to see all phases of the school working together, to provide the very best standard of education for our pupils, putting the pupils at the heart of everything that we do! Our aim is not only to provide an excellent education for young people but to also instill a lifelong love of learning. We do this with humility and in the name of our founder Baba Amar Singh Ji. Nanaksar Primary has a committed and dedicated team of staff, who strive to provide our pupils with the core values and skills which are fundamental to their achievement. We believe in the value of teamwork and work in partnership with our parents and carers, to ensure our children reach their full potential. Since its opening, Nanaksar Primary has mirrored the excellent practice of Guru Nanak Sikh Academy and we will strive to be a flagship free school in the UK. We are a school that prides itself on being warm, friendly, and inclusive. We have a clear vision for our school which unites staff, governors, families, and children. We share a determination that all children will achieve the very best that they can and go on to become life-long learners. We believe in the importance of supporting and challenging children to achieve academically, whilst also caring about their development as kind, polite and respectful members of our community. Our overall aim is that our pupils leave us as confident, enthusiastic learners prepared for their next stage in education. Our vision is to provide an outstanding learning environment that challenges all of us to achieve our full potential and to continually share our knowledge and skills with the local and global community. Our vision is very simple in that we want : To build a strong community based on the Sikh ethos. To provide a quality education that is broad, balanced, and relevant to the needs of pupils within a modern society. To enable all pupils to achieve their potential through the highest standards of teaching and learning. To develop each pupil’s self-esteem, confidence, and independence with consideration for others and the concept of Sewa. To strengthen bonds between home, community, and school, providing a preparation for each pupil’s entry into the wider community. To be committed to encouraging every member of our community to invest in life-long learning and personal development. The values of all schools within the Guru Nanak Multi Academies Trust are encapsulated by the S.H.A.R.E acronym. These values are at the heart of everything we do as a school and they describe the qualities our students and staff value most- Service to others, Humility, Achievement, Respect, and Equality.
