1Choosing a School Choosing a School Starting a new school is exciting but can hold some challenges, such as making new friends, and learning new things, not only for your child but for you too. If your child will be age 4 by the 1st of July, then they will begin school in September. Here are some tips to help make it as easy as possible: Before choosing1 Keep up to date with relevant information, and keep an eye on local papers and websites. Here are some things that you need to know: • What are the local schools? • What do you need to know and do to get a place, what are the deadlines for applying? • What is the uniform like, what are the facilities, and how do you pay for school lunches? • When is the school open, is there an after schools homework club, and what other things does the school do? • How will you get to the school for pick up and drop off? • Does the school have a good reputation? What do other parents say about the school? Here are some things you will need to do • Visit the school, and attend parent meetings, open nights and inductions. • Meet your child’s teacher. • Ask about uniform, school lunches and facilities. • Ask your child if they like the school, do they have friends going there? • Ask other parents for advice. • Stay well ahead of any deadlines. Next steps • Collect application forms and guidance notes from the school or the Belfast Education Library Board. • Fill out the form, be as accurate as possible and include all relevant information (schools or support contacts can help with this). • Find out the application deadline at www.belb.org.uk Tel. 028 90564000. • Hand in the form in January, BEFORE the deadline. For more information visit www.goodschools.co.uk click on ‘Choosing a school’. Starting School Before your child’s first day at school or nursery, there are some skills that it is good for them to know, to help make the first day a bit smoother. Below is a list of skills that parents can usually teach or show their children to help prepare them for school. Make sure your child can: • Hold a crayon • Put on or take off their coat and hat • Go to the toilet and wash and dry their hands • Eat a snack and lunch on their own • Listen to others while they are talking • Follow instructions • Answer questions when asked • Recognise colours • Recognise their own picture • Put on their own shoes • Play alone and in groups, sharing toys. Visit www.early-years.org for more information, using the parents section for advice on preparing your child for nursery, or telephone 028 9066 2825. Here are a couple more ways to prepare your child for school • Visit the school with your child, to see the classroom and meet the teacher. • Chat to your child about starting school, and what it will be like. • Make sure you have uniform, a school bag and a pencil all ready for the first day, and anything else they will need. • Children should have a change of clothes for their first year of school, in case of accidents. • Make sure your child is aware that they will be without you while at nursery or school, and practice this beforehand. After starting school • Encourage your child about their new school by asking them about their time at school, what they have done and what they have learnt • Ask about the friends they are making. More information visit www.nidirect.gov.uk and click on the Schools, Learning and Development section. A Helping Hand Help with money • Is your child going on a school trip that is too expensive? Why not ask the school for support. Some schools have special funds that might3 help with school trips. • If the school uniform is too expensive, contact the Library Board to request some support. Visit www.belb.org.uk, and click on the Parents and Students section to see what help may be available. • The Library Board can also help with school meals. Visit the website www.belb.org.uk to find out how this works, and what help is available. • Are uniform and school books expensive? Are there other parents who share this opinion? Ask your school to run second hand days! For information on who can get support, visit www.adviceguide.org.uk, and click on the Northern Ireland section, then Education, and School Education to find out about support for school meals, uniform, and transport. Help with homework As homework gets more difficult, your child might need to use a computer. If you don’t have a computer at home, why not use one in the school, after schools clubs, or your local library. The library computers have internet access and can be used for free. It is free to borrow books from a library.

There are some key people in your school that you should try to meet at the start of the year. • Go to the Parent Teacher evenings, Parent mornings, and school events4 to meet the principal, your child’s teacher, the parent worker, and anyone who looks after your child. • Ask for the contact details of the schools Special Educational Needs Coordinator (the SENCO). • Who do you contact for closure dates and information about school fees? Make sure you keep a copy of this persons contact information. • Keep a copy of any letters from the school, and your child’s reports in file and keep it somewhere safe. • Get involved in the PTA, or the Board of Governors, be part of decisions that will affect your child. • Go to events held in the school and volunteer to help organise these events. Dealing with a difficult situation Most parents at one time or another during their child’s education will have to deal with a difficult situation. This may be a child’s misbehaviour in school, or requesting extra support for your child, but either way it can be difficult. Below are some tips to help connect with your school at these times. First things first • If a situation arises, your first point of contact should be your child’s teacher, or the principal, to get all the information, and if needed, guidance. • Try to stay calm so that the situation doesn’t escalate further. • If there have been several incidences, keep a written record. • Speak to the school on how to proceed, and if needed speak to the parent worker or outside advisors. • If there has been no progress in dealing with the situation, look at contacting the school board of governors. • Never feel that you cannot speak with the school staff. They are there to educate your child and your relationship with them is very important. Special Educational Needs If you are worried about your child’s progress in school, the first step is to speak to your child’s teacher, the school SENCO or Principal. • Ask the teacher if they think your child is having more difficulty than others in the class. Is help already5 being given? • • Children have different levels of need, and so help is given on a five stage basis. Ask which stage your child is on. • Stages 1-3 take place in school. At stage 2 an Individual Education Plan will be drawn up. It will outline targets, how they will be achieved, and a date to review progress. Parents should be kept informed, and given tips to help support their child at home. At stage 3, external help can be given. • Stages 4 and 5 focus on statutory assessment and statements. For more information visit www.deni.gov.uk, and use the ‘Support and Development’ section to read the DENI code of practice. For more information: visit www.goodschoolsguide.co.uk, and click on the SEN section. Assessing your child If the school is unable to meet your child’s need on its own, you can request BELB to make a statutory assessment. A parent can make this formal request in writing, or the school principal may offer to write and request the statutory assessment on your behalf. If you are writing the request yourself, you must include the right information, and submit the form before the deadline. For information on what to include in the request letter, contact the Special Educational Needs Advice Centre (SENAC) on 028 9079 5770. Once you have written and sent off the letter: • Keep a copy of the letter, and the date it was sent on. You should get a reply within six weeks. • The reply will let you know whether the Board will carry out an assessment or not. If the Board does not make an assessment, you can appeal to the Special Educational Needs Tribunal. It is important to keep up to date with changes in the Education system when it comes to extra support. Visit the SENAC website, www.senac.co.uk to stay updated. Support Contacts Below is a list of key contacts that may be useful throughout your child’s time at school.

  • Entering Catholic West Belfast
    Chapter 1 A Walk of Life Entering Catholic West Belfast n a Friday afternoon in September 2004, shortly before returning home from Omy ethnographic fieldwork, I took my video camera and filmed a walk from the city centre into Catholic West Belfast up to the Beechmount area, where I had lived and conducted much of my research. I had come to Catholic West Belfast fourteen months prior with the intention of learning about locally prevailing senses of ethnic identity. Yet I soon found out that virtually every local Catholic I talked to seemed to see him- or herself as ‘Irish’, and apparently expected other locals to do the same. My open questions such as ‘What ethnic or national identity do you have?’ at times even irritated my interlocutors, not so much, as I figured out, because they felt like I was contesting their sense of identity but, to the contrary, because the answer ‘Irish’ seemed so obvious. ‘What else could I be?’ was a rhetorical question I often encountered in such conversations, indicating to me that, for many, Irish identity went without saying. If that was the case, then what did being Irish mean to these people? What made somebody Irish, and where were local senses of Irishness to be found? Questions like these became the focus of my investigations and constitute the overall subject of this book. One obvious entry point for addressing such questions consisted in attending to the ways in which Irishness was locally represented. Listening to how locals talked about their Irishness, keeping an eye on public representations by organizations and the media, and explicitly asking people about their Irishness in informal conversations and formal interviews all constituted ways of approaching this topic.
