We aim to provide a happy, secure environment where children, parents, teachers, ancillary staff, and the Board of Management work in partnership where each individual is valued, encouraged, and respected for their uniqueness. The year's children spend in the Infant School are very important as they form the foundation of all their future learning and will influence their attitude to education generally. We aim to provide a school that is a truly happy, caring place, where goodwill, friendliness, sympathy, and understanding exist between teachers, children, and parents. We endeavor to provide a happy, secure environment so that children will progress with enjoyment and develop an eagerness to learn and go on learning. We want each child to work to the best of their ability and to achieve this, the work is carefully planned to meet the individual needs of each child. We attach great importance to the development of basic skills so that children can learn to talk and write fluently, to read, to love and appreciate books, and to acquire a sound basis in mathematics and computer skills. We aim to stimulate an interest in the Irish language and culture. We aim to provide wide experiences and activities which will involve areas of learning such as Music, Art, Drama, Physical Education, and Social, Personal, and Health Education to help the child to understand the world in which we live. Throughout all our teaching we encourage the children to reason, to question, to think for themselves and to use their initiative, and encourage independence. Children will learn to make relationships with older and younger children, with teachers and other adults developing their personalities and appropriate standards of behavior. We encourage children to make the most of these opportunities of friendship, to be thoughtful of others, and to become a considerate member of the community, so that they may understand the inter-dependence of individuals, groups, and nations. We believe children make the best progress when home and school are working closely together and it is to promote this aim that we try to make individual contact with all parents to encourage an easy informality between parents and staff.

We endeavor to provide a happy, secure environment so that all children will progress with enjoyment and develop an eagerness to learn. Opportunities occur during the year for you to visit the school and to discuss your child’s progress with the class teacher. We actively encourage and promote parental involvement in the school. When parents, guardians, teachers, and management are working together, the children flourish. The school enjoys the ongoing support of the Parents’ Committee. The school encourages punctuality but accepts that late arrivals do and will happen, but it is most important that lateness does not prevent attendance. A note should be written to the teacher to explain all pupil absences on the first day after the child returns. Please write the note in the section at the back of your son's homework diary. It should be noted that St. John Bosco's must report absences over 20 days under the 2000 Education (Welfare) Act.

By the requirements of the Children First Act 2015, Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children 2017, the Child Protection Procedures for Primary and Post Primary Schools 2017, and Tusla Guidance on the preparation of Child Safeguarding Statements, the Board of Management of St. John Bosco’s Senior Boys NS has agreed the Child Safeguarding Statement set out in this document.

We try to provide children with the best possible start to their education and want them to be happy, enjoy learning, and coming to school. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to achieve to their full potential and offer a broad and balanced curriculum to support this. Working in partnership between home and school is of great importance in supporting children's learning and celebrating their success. At St John Bosco R.C. Primary School we aim to be like Jesus in everything we do. In our daily work, we try to improve our mind, body, and spirit so that we can make the most of the talents which have been given to us by God. If you have a child who will be 3 before 1st September 2016 and you would like them to attend St John Bosco School Nursery please make sure that you have completed an application form and returned it to the school office by the closing date, Friday 16th February 2018. Application forms can be collected from the school office or downloaded from the school website. Please do contact the school office if you would like to arrange a visit. St John Bosco is a Roman Catholic Primary School provided by Manchester LEA as a voluntary aided primary school. The school’s Governing Body is the admission authority and is responsible for taking decisions on applicants for admission. For the school year commencing September 2018, the Governing Body has determined that the number of children to be admitted to Reception will be 30. Our Statement on British Values outlines how our school promotes the values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. All staff in schools and early year settings must maintain professional standards of care and ensure that children and young people are safe. Whilst there is no legal duty requiring staff to administer medication or to supervise a child when taking medicines, it is good practice and meets with the Every Child Matters agenda. It is expected good practice that schools and settings will review cases individually and administer medicines to meet the all-around needs of the child and to enable them to attend school. Under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995, schools and settings are under a duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled children, including those with medical needs. All provisions should be planned with the intention of ensuring access to their full educational entitlement. Where pupils have incurred injuries that restrict their mobility for example as a result of fractures, schools and settings should consider what reasonable adjustments they need to make to enable them to participate fully in all areas of school life, including educational visits and sporting activities. Governing bodies are responsible for setting the strategic direction of the school. This includes the establishment, monitoring, and evaluation of school policies including a policy for medicines. In developing school policies Governing Bodies should take into account the views of parents/carers, the staff, and the Headteacher and ensure that the policy supports all pupils to attend school wherever possible. Staff, including supply staff, must always be informed of a child’s medical needs where this is relevant and of any changes to their needs as and when they might arise. All staff will be informed of the designated person(s) with responsibility for medical care, which at St John Bosco School is the headteacher. The Headteacher, or, in their absence, the authorized member of senior staff (deputy Headteacher or SENCo), has the ultimate responsibility for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people goes beyond implementing basic child protection procedures. It is an integral part of all activities, functions, culture, and ethos of St John Bosco RC Primary School. This policy complements and supports other relevant school and Local Authority policies, including Child Protection, Safer Recruitment, and internet and e-safety. St John Bosco RC Primary School aims to create and maintain a safe learning environment where all children and adults feel safe, secure, and valued and know they will be listened to and taken seriously. Our school is committed to the principles outlined in ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children 2015’ and implements policies, practices, and procedures which promote safeguarding and the emotional and physical well-being of children, young people, and staff. The school is committed to supporting the delivery of effective early help through multiagency working, a consistent application of the thresholds, and the use of a single agency assessment using the ‘Signs of Safety, strengths based model. Children have access to appropriate curriculum opportunities, including emotional health and well-being, to support the development of the skills needed to help them stay safe and healthy, develop their self-esteem and understand the responsibilities of adult life, particularly regarding child care and parenting skills. All children have access to an appropriate curriculum that is broad and balanced and differentiated to meet their needs. This enables them to learn to develop the necessary skills to build self-esteem, respect others, defend those in need, resolve conflict without resorting to violence, question, and challenge and make informed choices in later life. Children and young people are encouraged to express and discuss their ideas, thoughts, and feelings through a variety of activities and have access to a range of cultural opportunities which promote the fundamental British values of tolerance, respect, understanding, and empathy for others.

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
