positive relationships

Section 2:

School Session Times - Current Arrangements

The current times of the school day are 9.00am to 3.30pm.

A morning session = 3 hours

An afternoon session = 2 hours 30 minutes

= 5 hours 30 minutes each day

This equates to 27 hours and 30 minutes per week, which taking into account collective worship and

registration, is in excess of the recommended 23.5 hours per week.

Section 6:

School Development Plan: Main Areas For Development 2016-17

Objective 1: Continue to develop an effective working partnership between Bedwas Junior and Rhydri Primary

Schools to ensure that pupils and all stakeholders from both communities benefit from the collaboration.

Objective 2: Improve attainment and achievement in English by nurturing pupils’ engagement with reading.

Objective 3: Improve the quality of teaching from ‘good’ to ‘outstanding’ in all aspects of school life.

Objective 4: Increase the number of FSM pupils who achieve level 5 by the end of Key Stage 2.

Objective 5: Further develop pupils’ engagement with the life of the school so that they continue to make a

positive contribution to their environment.

The school encourages the pupils to take an active role in their learning. For example, as part of the ICT curriculum all classes have participated in planning and creating their own stop motion animations. As well as this Gold Class has created an animation with Gerald Conn from Gritty Animation, supported by Film Cymru Wales.

Section 7:

Healthy Schools

In 2015, the school continued to work towards achieving the National Quality Mark Healthy Schools

Award. Some of the ongoing key features of the school’s commitment to Healthy Schools are:

Assemblies linked to Healthy Lifestyles planned and delivered on a regular basis;

Healthy Living Weeks that allow children to receive talks from local professionals e.g. the

dentist, school nurse and first aiders;

Lessons linked to sun safety, e-safety, substance misuse and hygiene;

Healthy lunchbox leaflets designed and distributed to encourage healthier food choices within

school;

‘Water is Cool in School’ campaigns;

Positive behaviour management strategies;

A comprehensive programme delivering sex and relationships education;

An eco-schools programme designed to develop the children’s responsibility to their local

environment and wider world.

During 2016 – 2017 the school will be continuing to maintain all of the above successes and begin to

develop new initiatives to focus on and celebrate.

With the fantastic achievement of the Platinum Green Flag award in June 2016, the school has strived

to maintain its commitment to environmental education. Actions in 2015-16 included:

School Council involved in the reviewing and formation of the new eco action plan and eco-code;

Assemblies every half term focused on environmental education e.g. recycling;

Ensure school grounds are kept litter free;

Promote active walking/cycling to school, working in partnership with the local community.

Section 11:

Policy review:

During 2015-16, the following policies were reviewed by the Governing Body:

Mathematics and Numeracy policy;

Data Protection policy;

Teaching and Learning/Curriculum policy;

Anti-Bullying policy;

Behaviour Management policy;

Safeguarding policy;

E-safety policy;

Acceptable Use of the Internet policy.

Section 12:

In 2016-17 the classes will be structured as follows:

Class Name Year Group Teacher

Rainbow Class Nursery/Reception Mrs Gettings

Bronze Class

Year 1/2

*reception join bronze class pm

Mrs Hayhoe

Silver Class Year 3/4 Mrs Banks

Gold Class Year 4/5/6 Mrs Curtis

In addition to her role as Deputy Headteacher, Miss Bodenham, has a non-class based role as Inclusion

Manager.

Overall, pupils are grouped according to age.

Work for pupils is differentiated so that children with a variety of abilities within a class are

appropriately supported and challenged by activities aimed at their level and tailored to their needs.

This is clearly indicated in teachers’ planning on a weekly basis and is monitored by the Head Teacher.

Teachers must also develop pupils’ bilingual skills and their sense of ‘Welshness’.

The curriculum should seek to promote:

- the acquisition of knowledge

- the development of a wide range of skills

- understanding of key concepts

- the development of personal qualities

- positive values and attitudes

Rhydri Primary School aims to make cross-curricular links between subjects and areas of learning

wherever possible. The curriculum is organised into broad ‘themes’ to help us make these connections.

Knowledge, skills, concepts and attitudes are promoted through areas of learning that will cover the

foundation phase profile and KS2 National Curriculum over the eight years the pupils attend school.

The school implements the revised ‘Literacy and Numeracy Framework’ into the school curriculum.

10

Section 13:

Building and Resource Management

During 2015-16, there have been a number of changes made to the school building to create a more

child-friendly learning environment:

1. The school entrance was further developed with the addition of a staff noticeboard and a

display of the school’s main areas for school improvement.

2. Additional resources for learning environments to aide pupils’ learning.

Following refurbishment in recent years, the standard of hygiene in the school toilets has improved.

Inspection by the local authority cleaning services identified that the cleanliness of the school has

improved. Standards of hygiene in the school kitchen have also been identified as very good.

Section 14:

Languages Across the Curriculum

Welsh is taught across the curriculum to all year groups. Recent developments in the teaching of

Welsh have included:

Introduction of a new scheme of work for Year 4;

Opportunities to develop incidental Welsh through Helpwr Heddiw sessions;

Introduction of a Welsh sub-levelled skills ladder to support moderation and verification.

In addition to Welsh, all pupils in Silver and Gold Classes are taught Spanish for an hour a week.

Although not part of the National Curriculum, the opportunity to learn a ‘modern foreign language’

supports a child’s learning by:

Improving communication and general oracy skills;

Developing knowledge of the world;

Improve confidence;

Raise awareness of languages which will create an appetite when they reach secondary school.

In 2016, the majority of Year 6 pupils transferred to St Martins High School. One pupil

transferred to Risca Comprehensive.
