To this end we operate an ‘open door’ policy and are ready to meet with parents at any time to discuss progress. We are constantly striving to make sure the children make the best possible progress in all areas of need. In order to raise standards we believe we must focus on, and value, all aspects of children’s development. We believe that a place at Walworth offers children an opportunity for a period of intensive multi-professional intervention to help overcome their difficulties. We have high aspirations and constantly discuss and evaluate whether any child is ready to return to the mainstream. The best way to find out what Walworth is really like is to visit us. Please telephone the school (01325 300194) to arrange a suitable appointment. 3 Useful Contact Information Visit www.durham.gov.uk – Education and Learning section to read about all aspects of Education and Special Educational Needs.

Success comes in a variety of ways. SATs success is clearly important to a school like ours but pupils achieve so much more in the school. The range of activities on offer provides everyone with opportunities to succeed. The following is not an exhaustive list of our visits but does give an idea of what we have on offer: Educational Visits Dolphin Centre Darlington Preston Park Oak Leaf Leisure Centre Darlington Civic Theatre Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre Sunderland Empire Theatre Newton Aycliffe Climbing Wall Darlington ABC Cinema Bishop Auckland Swimming Pool Teeside Park Cinema Shildon Athletics Stadium Metro Cinema Woodham School Swimming Pool Hamsterley Forest Durham Cathedral & Churches Golf Clubs Adventure Valley Restaurants Ten Pin bowling Forest School Boldon Environmental Centre Adventure Valley Other schools for sporting fixtures Physical Education A balance of games and gymnastics are taught throughout the school year. We believe the teaching of physical education has a high priority in this school as we believe the development of physical skills is essential in the all round development of children. We aim to: Encourage enjoyment, confidence and a sense of achievement. Promote physical development, fitness and an awareness of one’s own body and its capabilities. To further develop our Fitness Suite which has equipment suitable to our pupils needs. To continue with weekly swimming lessons at the local sports centre. 5 Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) The personal and Social Development of the pupils permeates all aspects of school life. It is promoted at all times and in connection with all activities. The school has a Racial Equality Policy and an Equal Opportunities policy, which reflects the aim of the school to give equal opportunity to all regardless of gender, race or religion and our approach to personal and social education supports these policies. Health, Safety and environmental education are also covered as part of subjects such as science, design technology, geography and P.E. Investing In The Future We are committed to building upon our success, continually improving the School to benefit pupils. To make sure that children at Walworth get the best. Staff are keen to develop their own skills and take part in regular training. Within the school we have a qualified Team Teach Instructor, qualified Forest School Co-ordinator’s. Staff also attend regular Child Protection training and First Aid training. GETTING READY FOR WALWORTH Moving from a mainstream primary school to a specialist EBD school brings many changes for all pupils: changes in transport, new school building, different teachers and friends, small group teaching, structured play activities and new school rules. At Walworth we work hard to make the change of schools as smooth as possible. We try to establish strong links with parents, any professionals involved and previous school to find out as much about them as possible, i.e. academic assessment, character, strengths, weaknesses; all to try to help your child during their first few days. This helps us to place them in the most appropriate tutor group and for the teacher to be able to plan your child’s work and targets although much of the target setting is adjusted once the child is settled into the school routine. We have various functions throughout the year for you to get to know the staff and although we have a yearly meeting for individual Annual Reviews you are encouraged to contact the school at any time to discuss your child’s progress. 6 KEEPING YOU INFORMED For your child to be successful at school it is vital that we all work together. We believe in keeping in contact to share achievements and raise any concerns as soon as they arise. Many children are given a home/school diary in which we write how the child has been during the school day and you in turn write how they have been at home. This is transferred between the school and home via the child daily. As always, if at any time you feel you need to talk to us about any aspect of your child’s progress or behaviour please contact the school, and likewise if the school has any concerns they will contact you directly. We also use a text messaging service called ‘Teachers 2 Parents’ to keep you up-to-date with events and send reminders. Our website address is www.walworth.durham.sch.uk You can find lots of information about Walworth School and we regularly upload letters to parents and newsletters each term. If there is any information you would like to find on our site please let us know and we can add this information to our website. REPORTS We will hold an Annual Review meeting once a year for your child individually where any professionals involved with your child and yourself will be invited to attend. At that meeting will be a member of the Senior Management Team, Class Teacher, and Residential Child Care Officer if your child is a residential pupil or accesses extended day facilities, yourselves and any professionals involved from outside agencies. This meeting enables all parties to read and discuss reports submitted regarding your child’s progress in terms of academic, behaviour, social, attendance etc.

  • County Durham Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Open
    County Durham Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Second edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… Foreword written by Tony Blair Open This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. The Land of the Prince Bishops has some of the most stunning landscapes in Britain. From its high Pennine moorland in the west to the limestone cliffs of its North Sea coastline in the east, County Durham boasts an impressive variety of landscape for you to explore. Upper Teesdale, in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is home to England's highest waterfall, High Force. At Barnard Castle, on the banks of the Tees, you can explore the romantic ruins which gave the town its name, as well as the sumptuous Bowes Museum and the medieval Raby Castle with its majestic deer park. For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help to encourage better access for all in the future.
