Governors’ Annual Report to Parents 2015-2016

Chairperson's Introduction

On behalf of the Governing Body of Caerleon Lodge Hill Primary School I am delighted to be able write a few words to you as an introduction to the Governors’ Report to Parents, 2016. The report provides a wealth of information about the ethos, activities and learning experiences in the school and of the strong links which exist between the school and the local community. Of particular interest will be the detailed presentation of data relating to pupil performance which is of a very high standard.

Apart from attending regular meetings of the Governing Body throughout the year, we all involve ourselves in school life both when and where it is appropriate and possible. Each governor takes on the role of Link Governor for a particular area of school life and/or for the curriculum and liaises with the relevant member of staff. We each meet with the Subject Coordinators at both Foundation Phase and Key Stage 2 and also have an opportunity to talk with the children and share their ideas and experiences. I think we all find this a very positive experience and one which enables us to participate in some of the learning experiences that are an integral element of school life. I certainly feel that I learn a lot from this aspect of my role and this would be true of all members of the Governing Body.

Another extremely enjoyable aspect is the opportunity to experience the music, song and spoken word at the school concerts, assemblies and performance which are always of such a high standard. Most recently, I attended the Harvest Festival celebration which was led by Pastor Phil Jones who is also a member of the Governing Body. The children performed magnificently, I revisited the story of Boaz and Ruth and it was wonderfully heart-warming to be a part of such a special experience together with many parents, grandparents and friends of the school.

We are particularly proud of the high levels of pupil attendance, i.e. 95.3%, which is very good and recognise that this is due to the strength and richness of the school as a learning community and to the innovative approaches which have been introduced by the Headteacher and her staff. It is also due to you as parents, to your many contributions, both through the PTA and individually and to the commitment you and your children make to the life of the school.

A final very positive note concerns the building of our new school. The developers have been appointed by the LEA and the work will be commencing soon. An exciting prospect for all involved with Caerleon Lodge Hill Primary School!

Review of School Policies

During the last academic year the following policies were reviewed and revised by the Governing Body.

Additional Educational Needs Anti-Bullying Behaviour and Discipline Child Protection Drug, Alcohol and Incident Management ESafety Health and Safety Performance Management Restrictive, Physical Intervention/Positive Handling

Progress Report on the School’s Strategic Equality Action Plan

Phrases in bold in this section indicate the strand of the plan that is being addressed by the preceding point.

Objective One – Record and monitor one off equality related incidents and incidents of bullying, against the protected characteristics.

All pupils are educated about what bullying is through SEAL (Social and Emo-tional Aspects of Learning) lessons and how they should report related incid-ents. Employee and pupil training

There is appropriate access and competent understanding of how to use the SIMS recording tool to report incidents of bullying. Employee and pupil train-ing

Staff utilise staff meetings to discuss serious incidents of bullying. Communica-tion

SMT monitor the frequency and seriousness of bullying incidents. Leadership

Objective Two – Monitor and analyse pupil achievement by gender and act upon any trends or patterns in this data that require additional support for pupils.

Actions have been taken to reduce the gender gap, particularly in writing, and these were outlined in the School Development Plan for the academic year 2015-16.

The quantitative targets set for Year 1, Action 1 were:

F/P-To increase the percentage of boys attaining 06 in writing to 40%. KS2-To increase percentage of pupils attaining L4+ in writing to 89%.

The actual percentages achieved for Year 1, Action 1 were:F/P - percentage of boys attaining 06 in writing = 40%.

Caerleon Lodge Hill Primary Page 10 of 30 Governors’ Annual Report

KS2- percentage of pupils attaining L4+ in writing = 97%.

Staff are informed about the best approaches and initiatives available for devel-oping boys’ writing. All staff to use the ‘Excellence in Teaching Framework’ to aim for “Excellent” teaching. Employee and pupil training

All pupils have equal access to the curriculum and all children regardless of their gender are supported in their learning. Employee and pupil training

Training has been provided to Teachers and Teaching Assistants about how iPads can be used effectively to develop writing skills and these strategies have been introduced and embedded as part of the school’s day to day provision. Employee and pupil training

The SMT meet on a termly basis to discuss progress of learners, particularly those who are a cause for concern. Books and planning are scrutinised, along with lesson observations, in order to ensure that all children regardless of their gender are supported in their learning and all staff are aiming for “Excellent”. Leadership

Data is scrutinised on a termly basis in order to match pupils to appropriate in-tervention groups promptly. The progress of children who are underachieving is monitored more frequently. Monitoring

Pupils’ attainment is shared by teachers using Assessment Manager. The All Wales Core data sets is shared by the Head teacher with all staff and the Governing Body. Publishing equality information

Objective Three – Continue to deliver an up-to-date and relevant curriculum that encourages children to value diversity within the school and wider community.

The Curriculum, the Organisation of Education and Teaching Methods

Foundation Phase-Provision

Teaching and Learning in the Foundation Phase is based on the seven Areas of Learning as laid out in the Welsh Assembly documentation. These areas are; Language, Literacy and Communication, Mathematical Development, Personal, Social Development, Wellbeing and Cultural Diversity, Welsh Language Development, Knowledge and Understanding of the World, Physical Development and Creative Development.

Teachers carefully plan learning opportunities for all the above areas, ensuring there is a focus on Numeracy and Literacy skills as well as ICT and Thinking skills. These Key Skills are explicitly evident in the planning and delivery of learning activities in Foundation Phase.

Outdoor provision is carefully planned into learning activities, providing an additional stimulus and enhancing first-hand experiences for the pupils. The outdoor provision can assist in the development of a wide range of skills including problem-solving and communication as well as enhancing pupils’ understanding and appreciation of the world around them. The development of pupils’ creative and physical skills can also be enriched through the outdoors. A very well presented and interesting Forest School also contributes greatly to the children’s learning experiences.

The National Framework for Literacy and Numeracy is carefully adhered to with teachers building in the appropriate skills into medium and short term planning.

KS2-Provision

The National Curriculum Orders from 2008 form the basis of the provision in KS2. The Orders are in the following subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, Welsh, ICT, History, Geography, RE, Music, Art, PE and Design Technology. PSE (Personal, Social Education) and ESDGC (Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship) are other aspects of the curriculum which are also carefully planned into the provision we offer pupils.

Planning takes the form of an overall framework across Y3-Y6 which notes the range of the curriculum covered (long-term plan). The Medium Term planning takes the form of Schemes of Work. These have been carefully created and reviewed over several years by staff and constitute an interesting, creative, broad and balanced curriculum. Key Skills have been intricately written into the Schemes of Work to ensure full coverage and to ensure a strong focus on these skills across all subjects. We are continuing the process of incorporating the Numeracy and Literacy Skills Framework into our planning, ensuring these skills permeate thoroughly across the curriculum.

Caerleon Lodge Hill Primary Page 12 of 30 Governors’ Annual Report

Organisation and Teaching Time

In Nursery and Reception, children’s learning is organised in a variety of ways. Continuous Provision is carefully planned with a range of appropriate and stimulating resources and activities provided. Enhanced provision builds on the children’s prior learning and small focus groups led by a teacher or LSA ensure children are taught basic Literacy and Numeracy skills as well as other skills set out in the Foundation Phase Curriculum. These groups are organised by ability to ensure more effective teaching and learning. In Y1 and Y2 the different types of provision, such as Continuous and Enhanced, are still an important part of the provision but the teaching of Literacy and Numeracy does become more formal and structured to enable the children to reach the required level in these areas. In these classes the more structured Numeracy and Literacy sessions normally take place in the morning.

In Key Stage 2, children are taught in mixed ability classes, with high level differentiated planning to ensure all pupils’ needs are met. Literacy and numeracy lessons are usually timetabled in the mornings while other areas of learning and subjects are taught in the afternoons. The literacy / numeracy framework is carefully implemented by all teachers ensuring aspects of literacy and numeracy permeate through the whole curriculum. For example, in science pupils use their numeracy skills to construct graphs and charts and in history, Year 4/5 children use their literacy skills to write a diary of a Victorian child. Many of the non-core subjects such as History, Geography, Design Technology have been planned in a cross-curricular way to provide a more stimulating and cohesive form of learning. For example, in Y6 in the Brazil topic, as well as finding out about the main geographical features of the country, the children learn about Samba music and design festival headwear such as that worn in the Rio Carnival.

Promoting Healthy Eating and Drinking

Pupils’ knowledge and awareness of healthy eating and drinking has been de-veloped through the delivery of Healthy Living assemblies, focusing on ways to keep active and healthy food choices.

Children also have access to water fountains in school and water bottles are kept in classroom areas.

A fruit trolley run by Year 6 pupils is available at break times, selling fruit to pu-pils throughout the juniors.

Gardening club is run during the spring and summer terms, for pupils between Years 3 and 6.

Cookery club was run in the juniors during the academic year 2015-16, where healthy eating and drinking was discussed with attendees.

Caerleon Lodge Hill Primary Page 13 of 30 Governors’ Annual Report

Special Arrangements Made For Particular Groups of Pupils

Special arrangements are made for certain pupils, depending on their individual needs.

Children who have a Statement of Special Educational Needs receive appropriate support which is tailored to their need. This can range from individual one to one support, to support within a group / class setting. It may also involve specialist support and advice from outside agencies. Staff ensure the recommendations stated in the child’s Statement are adhered to carefully with effective liaison across school / home / outside agencies.

All children identified as having a particular learning need are given appropriate support in a variety of ways. This includes careful differentiation and support provided by the class teacher and support staff and/or support from a professional service such as Speech and Language or Counselling.

Since September 2014, Mrs Isaac has taken on the responsibility for ALN (Additional Learning Needs). Mrs Isaac is supported by a team of experienced teachers and support staff. We have embedded Individual Development Plans (IDPs) and Individual Pupil Profiles (IPPs) in line with the latest Welsh Assembly guidelines on Additional Learning Needs.

In addition to children identified as having an additional learning need, there are also children who need extra support (which may be just a short term boost) in order for them to make the expected progress in English and/or maths. In these cases we provide extra intervention groups where children can learn in a small setting. Support staff liaise with parents to build up strong links between school and home, keeping them informed about their child’s progress.

Use of the Welsh Language in School

Incidental Welsh is spoken on a daily basis throughout the school. Basic commands and instructions are given in Welsh which are then given in English to support and develop the understanding of the lower ability children. Incidental Welsh is spoken in all areas across the curriculum. Teachers have been provided with resources to use language patterns appropriate to the subjects and skills taught.

Placements are a resource used to teach the basic conversational language patterns. These are used to encourage the pupils to converse in Welsh. The dinner register is taken in Welsh each day. Members of staff communicate with pupils through the medium of Welsh where appropriate. e.g. ‘Beth sy’n bod?’ may be used to ask a child ‘what is the matter?’ when they look as if they need help or have an injury.

The date is written in Welsh on the board each day alongside the date written in English. This is done to provide the opportunity to become more familiar with the written language. Each classroom has Welsh language and ‘Bocs Bendigedig’ words around the classroom so children can independently use them.

All members of staff have been provided with support and training in teaching Welsh second language. The Welsh co-ordinators provide staff with opportunities to develop their use of incidental Welsh in the classroom. All teachers have access to resources

Caerleon Lodge Hill Primary Page 14 of 30 Governors’ Annual Report

and language packs as well as guidance from the Welsh co-ordinators within the school.

Year 4 staff have attended training linked to the new Welsh pack led by the Education Achievement Service (EAS). Year 4 staff have the access to resources and language packs of the new Welsh schemes, this builds and develops on the Welsh scheme in Year 3.

In house training is provided by the Welsh Advisory Service when requested to ensure that all staff are aware of the standards and expectations of the Welsh second language curriculum and levels. Baseline assessments are used at the start of each year to allow teachers to assess the ability of the pupils in order to provide them with learning opportunities which are suitable to their needs.

Yearly moderation meetings are held within our cluster primary and comprehensive schools to ensure continuity in the teaching and levelling of work in Welsh second language.

There are no exceptions from the National Curriculum in Welsh. However, we do have many children who come from the private sector or from outside of Wales. These children are given extra support through work on the placement patterns before attempting differentiated tasks in their Welsh lessons.

Sport and Extra-Curricular Activities

Sports Curriculum

At Caerleon Lodge Hill Primary School staff use the Welsh Assembly statutory and guidance documentation in order to plan the best possible PE and sports provision for the children. A range of training and resource materials are used such as Play to Learn, PESS (P.E and School Sport) and Dragon Sports. Such resources and support enable staff to plan varied and appropriate activities for PE and sport within their entitled curriculum.

Major high profile sporting events are held each summer with a traditional but very inclusive style Sports Day on the field for KS2 children and an “Olympics Fortnight” for the Foundation Phase children.

We have also introduced a House Sports event where teams play football, rugby, netball and tennis. This is organised by Year 6 pupils,

In the summer term some classes trialled walking / jogging a mile each week as part of their games session. This is a UK wide initiative aimed at improving children’s health and fitness and will be evaluated to see if it will be continued next year.

In addition to the timetabled PE and Games sessions the children receive, there are also many excellent physical extra-curricular activities on offer for the children. These are included in the section below.

Caerleon Lodge Hill Primary Page 15 of 30 Governors’ Annual Report

Extra-Curricular activities

We are very proud of our extra-curricular activities and believe that giving children an opportunity to develop their interest and skills in areas such as cooking, tennis and guitar playing contributes towards a child’s self-esteem, wellbeing and confidence. We have many dedicated staff who freely offer their time to take these activities. These are the clubs we offered in 2015/16 were:

JuniorsArt Cookery Chess ChoirCycling Dance Football FrisbeeGardening Guitar Netball Tennis

InfantsChoir Cookery Country Dancing ICT Recorders Rounders Science

We continued for a fourth year with the Dragon Sport Multi-Skills project which involves pupils from our local secondary school coming in after school to coach Y3 children in various sports.

Pupil Performance

The following pages provide you with information about pupil performance in Foundation Phase and KS2 at the end of the academic year 2015-16. There is also a section showing the performance targets which were set by teachers for Y2 and Y6 pupils in the Autumn Term of 2015.

Pupils are formally assessed at the end of Y2 and Y6. For Y2 pupils. The expected Outcome for pupils by the time they leave Y2 is Outcome 5. The data on the following pages tells you the percentage of pupils reaching the achieving the expected Outcome in the following areas:

Personal and social development, well-being and cultural diversity Language, literacy and communication skills Mathematical development

For Y6 pupils, the expected level of attainment is National Curriculum Level 4. Pupils are assessed in English, Maths and Science.

There is also comparative information provided showing how the pupils at Caerleon Lodge Hill Primary School performed in relation to pupils nationally, locally and those in the same socio-economic group (known as our “family schools”). Comparative data is also provided relating to pupils achieving above the expected levels at Foundation Phase (Outcome 6) and at KS2 (Level 5).

As a school we very pleased with the results pupils achieve by the time they reach the end of each phase of their education. However, we are never complacent. Our School Development Plan addresses aspects of English and Maths we believe we can further improve. This year we are focusing on improving boys’ reading in particular. ICT is also a major priority with Mr Smith and Mrs Davies leading staff in the implementation of the Welsh Government’s new Digital Competency Framework.

Our school is now part of the EAS Peer Review Programme, “sustaining and growing Excellence” and part of this will involve working with 3 other schools in order to continue to improve teaching and learning.

The school’s parent engagement work continues to flourish, making a positive impact on pupils’ attainment and attendance. We will be continuing with this work as well as looking at ways to further improve.

Finally, a major priority is the development of a plan for our new school building. This is all progressing very well.
