Attendance and Punctuality Attendance last year was 96.1%. Well above the National

average of 94.9%. We’d love to keep it that way and to improve even further this year. Therefore…

• Please ring before 10:00 am if your child is going to be absent.

• Holiday requests in term time will be turned down! • Please ensure that your child arrives promptly for the bell at

8:55am and that you collect your child from the playground at 3:30pm. Please collect your child from the class line.

• If asking a family member or friend to collect children, please ensure that the person is on the list of adults able to collect your child in the office.

• Each year prizes are given for highest class and individual attendance and punctuality. Thank you to all the parents who attended our attendance assemblies last year.

Homework

• All homework will be given out on Friday and is expected to be returned by the following Wednesday.

• Time is allocated on Friday afternoons during which homework will be given out and explained.

• Homework may be different for some pupils or the same thing for all. • Homework will be in a variety of forms but will always be linked to an aspect of work in

school. • Reading books are sent home along with the child’s reading record. Reading books will be

changed on a regular basis - you can check this with teachers. It is the expectation that parents/carers will make regular comments in the child’s reading record. Staff in school will do the same.

• Sometimes, children will require a certain amount of help to complete their tasks. However, for it to be effective, homework must be completed by the child. Any problems, speak to the teacher.

• All homework will be marked by a member of the school staff team. Marking in GREEN indicates work marked by the teacher and in RED by a member of the support staff under the guidance of the teacher.

Jubilee’s Golden Rules

We are gentle and show respect for others.We walk sensibly throughout the school.

We listen.We are honest.

We look after our school belongings.

Rewards

TEAM POINTS:

•All children in the school have been placed into team groups

•They now receive team point for academic achievement, effort and excellent behaviour.

•Winning teams are celebrated during whole school assemblies and classes provide individual rewards for highest team point earners.

SANCTIONS

• At Jubilee, we have three agreed levels of behaviour which help to guide staff and children in understanding the consequences involved with choosing certain behaviours.

• When your child receives a sanction at level 1,2 or 3, this is recorded on a Time Out card, where his/her behaviour is identified and explained.

• Teachers will have a record of how many cards an individual child has accrued and these may be referred to during Parent Conferences during the year.

• If your child receives a level 3 Time Out Card (reserved for more serious infringements), then you will be informed by a member of SLT and maybe asked to come into school to discuss your child’s behaviour.

Grouping and the Role of the Additional Teacher

• Children in 6 are going in to groups for Maths and English each morning. This ensures that children are taught in smaller groups where their needs can be met.

• In year 5 children will be in sets for maths each morning with some additional support from a third teacher.

• In Year 4 and 5 smaller groups are taken out of each class to work on specific areas of the Literacy and Numeracy curriculum.

• During Guided Reading and afternoon sessions the third teachers work with targeted groups of children in order to raise attainment as well as releasing the class teacher for planning and preparation time.
