All staff was involved in the introduction of a new whole-school approach to behavior. A training day was attended by teaching and non-teaching staff to discuss the areas that needed attention and to agree on solutions that would be positive and beneficial to all persons involved. The Health and Safety of all members of the school community is paramount and we would not, knowingly, put any member of it at risk. We will do our utmost to provide a safe, secure, and stimulating environment for all who work in it. In all aspects of school life, including the delivery of the curriculum, we are mindful of the need to consider Health and Safety implications and, to that end, risk assessments are carried out to help us provide an environment that is as clean, well maintained and as safe and secure as we can make it. The allocation of duties for safety matters and the arrangements which we will make to implement this policy are contained in this document. Any hazards or potentially dangerous situations must be reported to the Headteacher immediately. Be reminded of which rule we are not following. Be moved (to help calm down)- ( ‘GREEN for GOOD’ procedure – moves my name card on the wall display to whichever behavior category is considered appropriate at that particular time. If in the AMBER zone at the end of the session we will stay behind to talk to the teacher about my behavior. If in the RED section at the end of the session we will spend ‘time out’ during playtime to consider my actions. If we have three ‘RED sessions during the same day we will be given a yellow ticket. My parents/carers will be asked to bring me to school to discuss strategies for improvement, such as a home/school report book. If the children continue to misbehave in playtimes they will be put onto an interactive behavior program to promote positive forms of behavior. View full school

Edmund Waller is a hive of learning activity located in the Telegraph Hill area of New Cross in south-east London. The children and staff make full use of the opportunities offered by a larger than average school site which we utilize to best effect. Our Victorian buildings feature large classrooms that are bright and airy and we have lots of outside space providing the children with plenty of room within which to learn and play.

The children work hard within the context of a motivating topic-based curriculum, developing an appreciation of how learning is an investment in their future life choices. We encourage our children to celebrate their many achievements and to take responsibility for their learning. To achieve this we provide stimulating and creative learning experiences tailored for individual needs. Learning is immersive, experiential, and memorable never more so than on regular educational visits, which are carefully planned to enrich and enhance the curriculum. Each term parents and carers are invited into school to see their children celebrate and reflect upon what they have learned. The majority of children choose to participate in the diverse and exciting extra-curricular activities (such as playing in our orchestra, learning one of the many languages on offer, taking part in football, basketball, gymnastics, gardening, cookery) on offer at Edmund Waller. Edmund Waller’s children are at the heart of everything we do. Our children are respected, enjoy coming to school, and feel safe here.

'At Edgware, we believe that every member of our school community is respectful, aspirational, and committed to life-long learning and excellence' Edgware Primary School was the first school in Barnet to become part of the Children’s University (CU) and officially became Barnet Children’s University in December 2013. Our Children’s University leader became Barnet CU Manager responsible for the organization of out-of-school provision for children in KS1 and KS2. Working together with outside providers, Barnet CU offers high-quality clubs for children to develop a range of skills and expertise across a variety of experiences. An important aspect of the CU is that the activities feel different from what the children do during the school day. As a school, we use a percentage of our Pupil Premium funding to target participation by pupils in that group. Taking part in the clubs not only raises children’s aspirations but also gives them a love of learning, enabling them to make the most of their abilities and interests. At the end of the school year, those children who have spent 30 hours or more taking part in clubs receive a certificate at a Graduation ceremony held at Middlesex University. As a school in the heart of Edgware, we serve a community with pupils from across the world. With over 38 different languages spoken, we take pride in celebrating our diversity through events such as ‘Language of the Month’ assemblies and ‘Christmas around the World’. On behalf of the children, staff, and governors, may we welcome you to our school. We believe in providing high-quality education, preparing our children with skills for life, and encouraging them to be well-rounded individuals who are respectful, kind, and tolerant of others. Our staff team is committed to providing a secure, happy, and calm environment in which all children can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. Every child matters and our caring ethos is at the heart of everything we do. We seek to nurture the “whole child”. Together with academic progress, it is equally important to us that the children are given opportunities to develop their social skills, self-esteem, and independence. We want every child to achieve their full potential by recognizing and celebrating their achievements and aspirations, as well as those of others. We encourage pupils to become active members of our school community. We aim to give pupils the confidence and a ‘can do’ attitude in becoming a positive member of their community. We are continually looking at best practices and our school is ever-evolving. We work hard to make sure children are engaged and enjoy learning. We take pride in expanding pupils’ love of learning beyond the normal school day through additional clubs both before and after school.

Eden Primary is a Jewish school where everybody is welcome. Eden Primary is an inclusive, state primary school created under the Free Schools Programme. It is a one-form-entry school with a cross-communal Jewish ethos that accepts children from across the spectrum of Jewish belief and beyond on an equal basis. Eden Primary: Enables every child to develop their true potential by recognizing and meeting their individual needs in an inclusive school, creating a caring and creative environment, fostering a love of learning, and helping each child to play an active and responsible role in their community. Values academic excellence achieved through an innovative curriculum incorporating both Jewish and general studies with high expectations of achievement for all children. Uses Jewish teaching as a source of inspiration and knowledge, while promoting respect, understanding, and positive relations across the Jewish and wider community so that children of different backgrounds and beliefs learn from diversity and difference and value one another. Fosters a love of nature, the environment, and outdoor activity so that the children develop self-confidence and learn how to enjoy, protect and take responsibility for the world around them. Our ethos is based on three pillars: This means understanding and learning about people of all faiths and none, as well as the different strands of Judaism. Children will learn, on an individual basis, to recognize and reach their potential, whether academic, sporting, artistic, or spiritual. Eden Primary warmly welcomes children from all backgrounds on an equal basis. Jewish teaching imbues the life of the school, but it is teaching that will be accessible and valuable for all. It is about consideration, charity, respect, good deeds, history, and stories – things that benefit everybody and are universal values. All our children will be included in Jewish activities such as learning about festivals and speaking modern Hebrew, as well as in activities relating to other religions and cultures. We believe that Jewish identity can flourish in a multi-cultural context, and vice versa. All the children will also learn about other faiths and cultures. Jewish teaching will make up approximately 17% of the entire curriculum. The individual faiths and backgrounds of every child are respected equally, and all will be encouraged to share their own personal and family practices with their friends. The more variety we have in our school, the more there is for the children to learn. By the time our pupils leave Eden, they will be knowledgeable about Judaism and other faiths, and they will carry that knowledge with them for the rest of their lives, adding to the store of experiences that they collect as they grow up. Their understanding of Hebrew will introduce them to learning a rich and rewarding modern living language. We believe that the future of the Jewish community in the UK lies in mutual trust, recognition, and understanding between the various Jewish denominations. That understanding begins with our children. We believe that the future of the Jewish community in the UK lies in mutual trust, recognition, and understanding between the various Jewish denominations. That understanding begins with our children. In addition to religious studies, we want to provide our children with a grounding in Jewish Culture. Cultural Judaism means learning about Jewish art, Jewish literature, Jewish history, philosophy, drama, architecture, and entertainment. We believe that being Jewish means more than purely religious understanding and that both children and parents could benefit enormously from this curriculum. A graduate will leave the school with strong skills, important foundational knowledge in both Jewish and secular education, and good study skills. They will have the ability to think creatively and critically, ask intelligent questions, engage in discussion and apply their knowledge and skills to meaningful and authentic projects and life experiences. Eden Primary encourages children to be courageous and to take risks with their thinking and in their activity, and also to have humility, to listen respectfully, and to take into account the work and ideas of others. Children express themselves confidently, appreciate and respect diversity in many forms and at the same time, learn the lifelong gift and skill of listening to others. They recognize that ideas come from engagement with other ideas and that they need to be able to justify their ideas and base them on what they have learned. The curriculum at Eden Primary will be broad, relevant, and coherent, matched to the needs and abilities of all learners to develop the child as a valued and whole individual. It will be balanced and comprehensive, instilling a love of learning, the joy of mastery, and preparing children thoroughly for the next stage of their education. View full school

We wish to encourage a partnership with you to ensure the best possible standards of pupil behavior. A child who misbehaves is given a choice of changing his/her behavior or accepting the consequences. If initial warnings do not change these behaviors then parents will be informed and asked to come into the school for a meeting to discuss the way forward. Bullying and discrimination of any kind are not tolerated. Any incidents such as name-calling, a child being excluded by others from a playtime group, pushing, or indeed any hurtful behavior, may be recorded. We offer as wide a range of sporting and cultural activities as possible. There is a range of extra-curricular activities available for pupils during lunchtime and after school. Some of these are provided by the Active Schools Coordinator, Heather Darling. Parents will be informed about these by the school. In addition to in-school activities, classes also make regular educational visits and field studies. View full school

Our emphasis on sport and healthy eating encourages our children to keep active and make the right choices to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our curriculum is designed to develop a curiosity and a love for learning, to foster and develop imagination, investigation, and independence. This ethos is woven into everything we do with our children, through well-structured lessons and learning experiences, which lead to confident, enthusiastic learners, well prepared for secondary education, and the changing pace and challenges of modern life. Our Governing Body is committed to helping the Headteacher, Elizabeth Page, and her team, provide the best possible educational environment. Governors work in strong co-operation with the teaching staff and are currently implementing long term plans for the improvement of the whole school environment, to bring all our classrooms up to a high standard. We have recently undergone a major building project as part of the expansion to three form entries and are delighted with the quality of all our classrooms. The dining room and large new hall are at the center of the school community. We have an all-weather playing field to provide a fantastic year-round outdoor facility. Working in partnership with our PTA, we have installed an exciting climbing frame, trim trail, and outdoor learning spaces. Our PTA is exceptionally active and has raised substantial funds over the years to help with these and many other improvements. Formative assessment is used daily and is the judgment teachers make regarding the progress and learning of each child. Such assessment is made using a range of information, including questioning and answering, observations, marking of work, dialogue, peer, and self-assessments. Summative assessment in the form of written tests is also used to track pupil progress. Assessment is key to ensuring pupils make progress and is the starting point for the planning of each lesson. At East Sheen Primary School we use a tool called “Target Tracker” to monitor children’s progress and attainment as they move through school. Children are assessed against the national curriculum objectives as they are taught each year group curriculum. Teachers make a judgment as to when they are confident that a child has a secure understanding of each objective and use a color code to record this. Safeguarding is the highest priority in school. It is also a huge area, covering child protection, online safety, site security, health and safety, evacuation, lockdown, anti-bullying, radicalization, racism, female genital mutilation, and more. All employees have annual training and regular updates to make sure knowledge and understanding of safeguarding are current. We ensure all those who are contracted at school (e.g. cleaners, school meal providers, sports providers, supply teachers) have undergone police checks and are legally entitled to work in the UK and that any adults working directly with children have had appropriate safeguarding training.

As of 2014, the Department for Education published guidance stating that all schools must actively 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. Although this is something which is growing in its importance for schools, this is not something new for Earlsfield Primary. These values are linked to our school values and are promoted through so much of what we are already doing. As a Level 2 Rights Respecting School, we place the voice of the child at the heart of the school and aim to encourage our children to be caring, tolerant, and respectful citizens of their local and global community.

Our close-knit family community of staff, parents, and governors aim to ensure that all children are safe, achieve well and are happy and healthy. We provide a broad and balanced curriculum that inspires a love of learning and targets individual needs. At East Acton Primary School we want every child to achieve their highest potential.

With the support of parents, carers, and the local community, we encourage children to be positive citizens who show respect and take pride in all they do. Our "values tree" is re-visited with staff and students each Friday in our weekly Golden Assemblies. One child from each class is selected for how they have consistently demonstrated one of our core values as shown on the branches of our "values tree". They then add a Golden Leaf to the appropriate branch on the tree showing their name and what they have done to demonstrate our school's vision and values. The National Curriculum covers KS1 and KS2 and builds on the work of the Foundation Stage Framework. There are 10 subjects in the national curriculum, English, Maths, and Science are core subjects. ICT is used to support all areas of the curriculum. History, Geography, Design Technology, Art, Music, and P.E (Physical Education) are the foundation subjects. R.E (Religious Education) covers the study of the world's major religions. Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) and Citizenship are also included. French is taught from Year 3 onwards. Children in the Early Years follow the Foundation Stage Curriculum. This is based on seven key areas of learning: Communication and language development involves giving children opportunities to experience a rich language environment to develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves and to speak and listen in a range of situations. Physical development involves providing opportunities for young children to be active and interactive and to develop their coordination, control, and movement. Children must also be helped to understand the importance of physical activity and to make healthy choices about food. Personal, social, and emotional development involves helping children to develop a positive sense of themselves, and others to form positive relationships and develop respect for others to develop social skills and learn how to manage their feelings to understand appropriate behavior in groups and to have confidence in their abilities. Literacy development involves encouraging children to link sounds and letters and to begin to read and write. Children must be given access to a wide range of reading materials (books, poems, and other written materials) to ignite their interest. Mathematics involves providing children with opportunities to develop and improve their skills in counting, understanding and using numbers, calculating simple addition and subtraction problems, and describing shapes, spaces, and measures. Understanding the world involves guiding children to make sense of their physical world and their community through opportunities to explore, observe and find out about people, places, technology, and the environment. Expressive arts and design involve enabling children to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials, as well as providing opportunities and encouragement for sharing their thoughts, ideas, and feelings through a variety of activities in art, music, movement, dance, role-play, and design and technology. Children in KS1 and KS2 follow the National Curriculum. We plan half-termly topics and look for cross-curricular links where possible. English and mathematics are taught each day. Children in Year 1 and those in Year 2 who do not yet know their letter sounds follow a phonics scheme, Read, Write, Inc. French is taught weekly as a modern foreign language at KS2, and children are taught to swim in Year 5, visiting Acton swimming baths. Years 4 and 5 are currently having whole class ukulele tuition.

This understanding means that teachers can organize fascinating school trips secure in the knowledge that children will get the same from them as they do from learning opportunities within school. We teach our pupils to know that they have boundaries within which they make choices safely through the provision of a nurturing mindset and empowering education. Pupils are encouraged to know, understand, and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and are advised on how to exercise these safely, for example through E-Safety and PSHE lessons.

Durand Primary School was opened in 1973 and was original of an open plan design. However, during the 1991/92 academic year the building was completely remodeled into separate classrooms. Further remodeling took place in 2003 when all external doors and windows were replaced with a modern, safe and colorful system. Safeguarding of our pupils and staff is of paramount importance to us. Below is a link to a safeguarding video that shares Monmouthshire’s and Durand’s message about Safeguarding. In September 2008, the school saw the opening of a new nursery unit adjacent to the main entrance at the side of the school. The nursery is a 60 place nursery, 30 pupils in the morning and 30 pupils in the afternoon. This is a very exciting development for the school. Thanks to our School Council, PSA, and Lotto funding we now have a magnificent wooden canopy to further encourage outdoor learning. In 2016-17 we have had a new Foundation Phase play yard and a new staff car park put on our grounds. Thanks to our amazing parents and friends of our school we have been able to raise money for games and tracks in the yard areas. We believe it is important that as a parent/guardian you feel welcome in the school. Education is a partnership between home and school with a shared responsibility based on trust and mutual understanding. The co-operation and participation of parents with our school in the education of their child is positively encouraged. A good relationship between school and home builds a child’s confidence, aids their learning, and helps them to fulfill their potential in all areas. This is a happy vibrant school where all children will be given the opportunity of learning in a caring, supportive and stimulating environment. We aim to give your child the opportunity to develop to their full potential intellectually, morally, socially, and spiritually. Our welcome to you and your child is warm and ongoing and we invite you as parents to support us in our work. We also welcome any expertise or assistance you may be able to offer us in delivering the best possible opportunities for our pupils. View full school

It is a large school, which benefits from spacious Victorian buildings and the best resources and equipment that we can offer children. The children are happy in school and are encouraged to do their best at all times. They are well behaved and take pride in, and look after, their school and its grounds. At Duncombe hard work is encouraged. Academic, sporting, and creative achievements, be large or small, are valued and recognized in our outstanding achiever's register.

Teaching and learning take place in and outdoors using a range of whole class, small group, and 1:1 activities. The learning environment is set up to provide continuous provision for each area of learning. This encourages children to access resources freely and become independent learners by following their interests as well as learning about the termly topics that are planned for. All children in Year 1 and 2 attend a weekly assembly which covers local, global and moral issues. We also have singing assemblies and opportunities to celebrate achievements, to develop our sense of community. As the children move through KS1, they are encouraged to become increasingly independent and take more responsibility for their behavior and learning. The Middle Phase includes Years 3 and 4. This phase represents a crucial stage in our children’s academic and personal development. The transition from KS1 to KS2 can be challenging so we support pupils by focusing on developing their independent learning skills and fostering a nurturing environment that allows children to learn about themselves and others. The Upper Phase consists of Years 5 and 6. Children in the Upper Phase begin to assume whole school responsibilities. Many Upper Phase children have the opportunity to become a Bully Buster, a Stair Monitor, or a Playground Friend. In the Upper Phase children have the chance to take on responsibilities and are encouraged to take on more nurturing roles throughout the school. View full school
