Policies (52)
Promoting positive attitudes and excellent attendance is the responsibility of the whole school community.
The school will promote positive attitudes and good attendance through its use of curriculum and learning materials. Good attendance and behaviour by pupils will be recognised appropriately. All children should be at school, on time, every day the school is open, unless the reason for the absence is unavoidable.
As we are legally responsible for the monitoring of all absences we would ask for your co-operation in informing us of reasons for non-attendance. A telephone call is probably the easiest way of achieving this.
For more information about attendance and absences, please refer to our:-
Parents are respectfully reminded that they are under a legal duty to send their children to school regularly.
Statement on non-sickness related term time absence requests
All children are encouraged, and expected, to treat people with respect. Bullying is not permitted.
‘In accordance with the latest directive from the government (i.e. Section 550A), all staff, teaching and non teaching, as authorised by the Headteacher, may, on rare occasions, need to use reasonable force to restrain a pupil who may cause injury to themselves, others or property – or who is compromising good order and discipline in a classroom or elsewhere.
Parents will always be informed when their child has been involved in such an incident.’
If a child’s behaviour gives serious cause for concern, parents will be invited to discuss the problem with the Headteacher, in order to assess both causes and solutions.
Starting school is a very important step in a young child’s life and we endeavour to forge a strong partnership with parents to make the transition a happy and exciting experience for all. Children develop at different rates and we consider all aspects of their development to be of equal importance. We organise, plan and structure the learning opportunities so that each child experiences an appropriate curriculum based on the early learning goals which addressees his or her needs. We aim to do this in a safe and secure learning environment, where we can monitor progress and encourage positive attitudes and values.
In line with Government regulations, all children are continually assessed during their foundation year and relevant information is given to parents at parent interviews and used to plan appropriate learning experiences.
It is the policy of the school to ensure that all pupils have equal access to the various activities that take place. Through its ethos, attitudes, management and organisation the school provides equal opportunities for all.
We endeavour to ensure that resources and materials are appropriate and non-discrimatory, and relate to the needs and aspirations of all children irrespective or gender, race, disability, creed and social background.
The teaching and learning methods used provide all pupils with varied learning opportunities. Individual differences and needs are recognised and the learning environment is designed to motivate and challenge all of our pupils. Appropriate teaching methods for individuals, groups and whole classes are employed throughout the school.
Managing Attendance At Work Policy (Not Currently Available)
Pupils who are unwell should not be sent to school. However, the staff will administer medicines to those children who: •Have a chronic illness or allergy •Are completing a course of prescribed medicines which requires administering four times a day
Inhalers brought into school should be clearly marked with the child’s name. These are kept in the first aid cupboard and the child(ren) informed that they can be used whenever needed. Parents must complete an authorisation form. These can be obtained from the office.
All medicine should be handed into school in a one dose syringe or packet. We cannot administer from a bottle.

Medication / Supporting Children with Medical Conditions Policy
All children are encouraged, and expected, to treat people with respect. Bullying is not permitted.
‘In accordance with the latest directive from the government (i.e. Section 550A), all staff, teaching and non teaching, as authorised by the Headteacher, may, on rare occasions, need to use reasonable force to restrain a pupil who may cause injury to themselves, others or property – or who is compromising good order and discipline in a classroom or elsewhere.

If a child’s behaviour gives serious cause for concern, parents will be invited to discuss the problem with the Headteacher, in order to assess both causes and solutions.
Because of their day to day contact with individual children school staff have an important role to play in recognising and taking the appropriate action in cases of suspected child abuse. All school staff, both teaching and non-teaching, are instructed to report any suspicions to the Headteacher, who is required to notify Staffordshire County Council.
Parents may seek advice and guidance from the Education Welfare Officer for the school, if necessary.
