The school has an idyllic setting, with wonderful grounds and stunning views of the surrounding Pennine countryside. The building is around 40 years old and is organised into 7 single age classes with 2 additional teaching spaces. Over recent years our building and grounds have undergone significant improvement, for example, each classroom is now equipped with an interactive whiteboard which is used to enhance teaching and learning. We are very proud of our grounds and in 2007 were part of Yorkshire :ater’s ‘0illion Green Fingers’ scheme which gave us the opportunity to further work on the grounds and to develop them as an outdoor classroom with cross curricular opportunities. We are committed to ensuring that ICT is integrated throughout the curriculum and to this end the school has two banks of laptops, two mini suites, networked computers in classrooms and a set of 17 ipads; there is a strong commitment to the continuing development of ICT in school. The school has a strong staff team and is well supported by the governing body. We encourage links with the wider community; working with the onsite playgroup, the local minister and other local groups. OUR STAFF The staff team for 2020-21 will be as follows: Mrs Carolyn Littlewood – Headteacher Mrs Kate Nussey- Year 4- Deputy Head Mr Alvyn Riley-Year 2-Leader for Learner Mrs Julie Bligh-Smith-Year 1 –Leader for Inclusion Miss Sarah Wilson-Reception Miss Samantha White-Year 6 Miss Danielle Baldwin -Year 3 Mr Tom Branston- Year 5 Mrs Suzanne Mighall-PPA teacher –YR,1,2,3,5 Mrs Elizabeth Mansell-Y4,6 Mrs Su van Rooyen-Senior ETA (Early language and literacy) Mrs Diane Clarkson-Senior ETA (Special needs) Mrs Helen Barrowclough-Reception ETA Mrs Heather Brooke-Reception ETA Mrs Sue Kiernan-ETA Mrs Cathy Dessoy-ETA Ms Sharon Dawson- ETA Mrs Jan Wallis- ETA Mrs Jenni Lamburn – ETA Mrs Tricia Palin-ETA Mrs Sue Lindley-ETA 4 Mrs Sue Thompson-Bursar Mrs Helen Broomhead-Admin Officer AN Other-TBS-Admin Assistant Mrs Kevin Carter-Caretaker Mrs Sharon Mittermuller-Cleaner Miss Lindsay Parkin-Cleaner Mrs Jayne Selway-Senior Lunchtime Supervisor Ms Lindsay Parkin- Lunchtime Supervisor Mrs Tricia Palin-Lunchtime Supervisor Ms Abbie Holmes-Lunchtime Supervisor (PT) Mrs Sharon Mittermuller-Lunchtime Supervisor Miss Susan Lindley-Lunchtime Supervisor Miss Vicky Hair-Lunchtime Supervisor (PT) A ’who’s who’ Eoard of photographs can Ee found in the entrance to the school How are children admitted to the school? Following a detailed consultation process by Kirklees LA it has been agreed that a full-time school place will be available for all rising- five children from the September of the school year during which they attain the age of five. Parents may request that the date their child is admitted to school is deferred until later in the school year or until a child reaches compulsory school age in that school year. Where a parent makes such a request the place will remain allocated to the child. (Compulsory school age is the term after the term in which the child is five) Priority Order for Admission to All Key Stages 1) Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs which names the school 2) Children in public care (Looked-after Children) 3) Children living in the school’s priority admission area who have an older Erother or sister attending the same address at the date of admission 4) Other children living in the school’s priority admission area 5) Children who live outside the priority area who have an older brother or sister attending from the same address at the time of admission 6) Children who live outside the priority area Notes a) Children in priorities 1 and 2 above may also be admitted above the Published Admission Number (PAN) b) If we cannot agree to requests for admission in priorities 3 to 6 above without exceeding the PAN, we will give priority up to the PAN to children living nearest the school. Distance is measured in a straight line. 5 parents/carers have the right to withdraw their children if they object strongly. The Year 6 children take part in a Drugs Awareness programme called ‘Spiced’. Our Commitment: Engaging children and staff through a creative and lively curriculum promoting the desire to succeed and achieve, in partnership with the wider community. We will provide a curriculum which: x Engages and excites x Develops the whole child x Values all children x Provides successful, positive experiences x Is based on innovative practice x Is based on the 5 principles of Every Child Matters x Encourages children to follow their own ideas x Encourages children to become independent learner and develop independent learning skills. Our Curriculum Drivers Our curriculum is driven by the desire to develop the following: x Knowledge & Skills x Collaboration & Cooperation x Confidence & Independence All local authority controlled schools in England follow the National Curriculum. We have spent much time over the last few years creating a thematic curriculum based on the acquisition of key skills and focusing on a cross curricular approach. We believe the children and staff should be excited by the learning and teaching. 8 Our Curriculum Rationale 9 Work in each year group is currently planned around the following themes although this term we are revising our long term planning: Autumn Spring Summer Ourselves Transport Minibeasts Reception Winter Wonderland Pirates Plants Oh I Do Like To Be Yr 1 Sharing and Caring Reach for the Stars Beside The Seaside Plot, Plague & Pudding Yr 2 All Aboard Sensational Safari Lane Yr 3 The Battle for England Amazing Achievements The World at your Feet Yr 4 Growth & Change Power! Inspiring Journeys Yr 5 Mayans Indus Valley Native Americans Yr 6 The Battle of Britain Water of Life Changing Ages The Curriculum in the Foundation Stage (reception) Children in reception are classed as being in the Foundation Stage and will follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. There are a total of 7 areas of development; 3 Prime Areas of Learning: ° Language and Communication, ° Physical Development, ° Personal and social development 4 Specific Areas of Learning: ° Literacy, ° Maths, ° Understanding the World, ° Expressive Arts and Design There are 17 sub categories which will be used to assess the children on entry and at the end of reception. In this way we have a clear understanding of the progress children have made and are able to share this information with parents and with the year 1 teacher to ensure that the potential of every child is developed. How does the school meet the needs of those children with specific disabilities? 10 Disability is defined by the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA): "A person has a disability if he or she has a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day to day activities.” We aim to reduce and, where possible, eliminate barriers to accessing the curriculum and to full participation in the Upperthong Junior and Infant School community for pupils, and prospective pupils, with a disability.

  • HOLMFIRTH CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL Appendix K Historical
    HOLMFIRTH CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL Appendix K Historical, Social and Economic Development HISTORICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Historical and Social Development The landscape, history and social development of Holmfirth has determined the nature, scale and characteristics of its buildings within the HCA. The landscape comprises a narrow valley set within steep hillsides extending up to desolate moorland. There is evidence, from flints unearthed locally at Cooks Study, of community living in the Stone Age and evidence from ancient hearths in Hagg Wood, of occupation by the Romano-British in the hills around Holmfirth. The Scandanavians, who invaded around 500AD, also settled in the high ground and many of the local village names derive from Norse and Danish. In 1066 the land at Holne was owned by a wealthy thane known as Dunstan who is thought to have gathered troups locally to fight the Norman invasion. Before the Norman Conquest the area was known as Holne, and in Saxon and Medieval times the Lords of Wakefield used the area as a hunting forest, hence the name Holnfrith meaning, ‘sparse woodland belonging to Holne’, later becoming Holmfirth. The name is first mentioned in script in 1324 when a Bailiff of Holmfirth was recorded in historic documents and by 1379 Holmfirth was mentioned in the Subsidy Rolls, where tax was collected and paid to the King. Holmfirth is not mentioned in the Domesday Book, as it developed later as a settlement than the surrounding villages, due to the steep-sided valley, the marshy valley bottom, and the lack of level drained land for farming.
