The Swallowtail Federation of Church Schools School Brochure 2015-16 The Swallowtail Federation of Church Schools School brochure 2015-16 Welcome to Swallowtail! Hello and welcome. We understand that starting school is a new and exciting, sometimes daunting, experience for your child and, in many cases, for you as parents. We want to make this transition as easy as possible for both you and your child. We hope that this handbook will help to answer some of the questions you may have, as well as showing you where to get the answers to the questions we haven’t dealt with. Each year we admit up to 45 children from our local area into our Federation schools and as you read through our handbook I hope you will get a feel for the high quality of care and education we provide for our children. The children are at the centre of everything we do and our aim is to give them the best opportunities that we possibly can. We see Swallowtail as a community made up of the children, staff and parents. We all have an important contribution to make and we value the support of parents and families. Please get in touch if you have anything to discuss, as the saying goes “our door is always open!” You will soon see that life at Swallowtail Schools is never dull: we are always looking for new and innovative ways to make learning enjoyable and challenging. We do not stand still as we are constantly aiming to improve everything we do. Ms Jo Nutbeam Executive Headteacher Federation Science Day – part of science week 2015 1 Mission Statement and Values Mission Statement Our Federation’s mission is to work together to create successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. Values We aim to Provide a Christian ethos relevant to all areas of school life Ensure a happy and caring environment in which all children and adults feel safe and can express their individuality Have high expectations for children in our care by providing an appropriate challenging curriculum which is inclusive and accessible to all Expect high standards of behaviour throughout the Federation Ensure equal opportunities for all Model and nurture good social, physical and spiritual development To celebrate achievement in all areas Ensure Governors are committed and involved in the life of the Federation Liaise effectively with parents, guardians, carers and the wider community Foster an awareness of and respect for the environment About our Schools The Swallowtail Federation of Church Schools is comprised of three small rural schools, two infant and one primary. Our schools have a strong Christian ethos, but by acknowledging that all religions foster respect and love for one another, the children of all denominations, or of no religious belief, are welcome. Children are admitted in the September of the academic year in which they turn five years of age. In Sutton and Hickling at the end of Year 2, the majority of our children transfer to Stalham Academy and at Catfield the majority transfer at the end of Year 6 to Stalham High School or to a High School of their choice. Across the Federation we offer small classes with a high adult to child ratio. Each of our class teachers are supported by a fully trained Teaching Assistant. In addition there may be other members of staff in your child’s class, for example we have additional support to help our children with reading. All our classes are of mixed ability and there will be times when your child will be taught with their whole class, in smaller groups and also individually. We work closely with outside agencies to ensure that children with needs, and their parents in some cases, have access to specialist support and advice. We work together as a federation team to care for those in our schools and the surrounding environment. In doing this we develop relationships and actively seek to communicate with our wider school community. We place great emphasis on helping our children to grow into 2 thoughtful, responsible adults with a strong sense of right and wrong. We educate every child to the best of his or her ability. Equality of opportunity is fundamental to our federation ethos. We have a skilled and dedicated team who are committed to providing the best education for your child. We expect excellent behaviour. Inappropriate behaviour and bullying are regarded as serious and are dealt with promptly and effectively. Your involvement in the education of your child and the life of the school is positively welcomed and encouraged. Our pupils achieve high standards in all areas of the curriculum. We want our children to reach their full potential and we are pleased to see that in many cases they outdo our expectations!

They are responsible for making sure our school provides a good quality education. Governors also promote effective ways of teaching and learning when setting the school aims and policies. They do this together with the Head Teacher who is responsible for the day to day management of the school. Every school must have a governing body. The membership will vary according to the type of school. We have a federated governing body which meets 12 times a year and comprises members to represent the interests of all our schools. All governing bodies include governors who are: Parents - elected by parents at the school Staff - elected by the Head, teachers and support staff at the school The Head teacher is entitled to be a staff governor without an election Additionally, as a church school we have foundation governors who are appointed by the church. The governing body’s main role is to help raise standards of achievement. It: is accountable for the performance of the school to parents and the wider community plans the school's future direction selects the head teacher makes decisions on the school's budget and staffing makes sure the national curriculum is taught decides how the school can encourage pupil's spiritual, moral and social development makes sure the school provides for all its pupils, including those with special needs. Our governors support and challenge the Head Teacher by gathering views, asking questions and deciding what's best for the school. They are not there to rubber stamp decisions. They are at the heart of how our school operates and are mindful of how important it is to get things right. If you wish to know more about the role of the governing body, or whether there are any vacancies for a governor in The Swallowtail Federation please contact our Chair of Governors at Sutton Infant School.

  • Whole School Attendance Policy
    The Swallowtail Federation of Church Schools STALHAM CLUSTER ATTENDANCE POLICY This has been put together by the Headteachers of Stalham Infant School, Stalham Academy, Stalham High School, Ludham Primary School, Catfield Primary School, East Ruston Infant School, Happisburgh Primary School, Hickling Infant School and Sutton Infant School. 1. The Stalham Cluster takes a child’s education very seriously and believes that holidays taken during term time have a detrimental effect on a child’s education. We know that attendance is closely linked to attainment. 2. We are committed to providing a full and efficient education to all pupils and embrace the concept of equal opportunities for all. 3. We endeavour to provide an environment where all pupils feel valued and welcome. For a child to reach their full potential, good attendance is essential. We consistently work towards a goal of 100% attendance for all children. Every opportunity is used to convey to children and their parents or carers the importance of regular and punctual attendance. 4. School attendance is a legal requirement and this policy reflects both these laws and the guidance produced by the Department for Education. 5. We will review our system for improving attendance at regular intervals to ensure that it is achieving its goals. Please work with us in ensuring that your child attends school every day and on time. School Procedures Any child who is absent from school must have their absence recorded. Only the head teacher or the person authorised by the head can authorise absence. Registration and Punctuality Registration is a legal requirement and is a positive start to our working day.
