    Issue 90 Working together to promote & celebrate achievement Friday 8th February 2019 Name & Tutor Group: Headlines by Rachel McGowan Mobile Phone Protocol Mobile phones are, to many people, an essential feature of everyday life. In light of the recent media attention about mobile phones in schools I wish to reiterate what has been Plashet School policy for over six years. I am aware that many parents want their daughter to have a phone on their journey to and from school to help ensure her safety. Within school students are safe and are able to contact home should they need to through reception. Similarly, parents/guardians can send messages to students by telephoning the school. Whilst on school site students are not allowed to use their mobile phones or have them visible at any time. This rule is in place to ensure that students concentrate entirely on their studies and, in unstructured time, they are not engaged in activities with a mobile phone that could put them or others at risk and they instead spend their break and lunchtimes talking rather than looking at a screen. If a student is seen using a mobile phone on school premises it will be confiscated and held in school for three working days. A letter will be sent home alerting parents/guardians of the confiscation. The confiscated mobile phone will be returned to the student’s parent or guardian after three days. If a parent wishes their daughter to have a mobile phone for the journey to and from school, the phone remains the responsibility of that student and the school does not accept any liability for any mobile phone lost or stolen in school whilst in the child’s possession.

  • IR35 Compliance for Head Teachers Targeted Summer School Offer
    www.newhamconnect.uk [email protected] Issue 30 7 July 2017 Keeping Newham Connected Dear Colleagues I am writing this letter ahead of the NAPH and NASH conferences taking place on Wednesday and Friday respectively. At both meetings I will have presented on the new Education and Skills Service and how it will engage with you and other stakeholders and partners in our continued efforts to improve outcomes for children and young people. I will also have updated on Best for All, which is designed to transform our approach to meeting the needs of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. We also include those who are vulnerable in a range of ways: those newly arrived from overseas (often without family); those with mental health needs and those who remain susceptible to exclusion—fixed term or permanent, on account of behaviours which are unacceptable but which often leave them with no place to go. With over eighty schools, voluntary sector partners, other Council services ready to support and the funding coming through High Needs, Schools Block and Health, we should be able to achieve the change Newham needs in order to create stability in the system and assure the best outcomes possible for our most vulnerable young people. I am also highlighting a letter for head teachers, here about high-needs funding allocations for this year only. I wrote recently to let you know that we would be saying goodbye to Officers who have worked with you over a number of years and some more recently who have made a significant contribution.

    Issue 85 Working together to promote & celebrate achievement Friday 19th October 2018 Name & Tutor Group: Headlines by Rachel McGowan School Calendars 2018-19 & 2019-20 Within this edition of Plashet Post are calendars for both this academic year (2018-19) as well as next academic year (2019-20). I am sharing these to give families a large amount of planning time around school term dates, and to avoid families taking their daughter out of school during term time. Also included in this Plashet Post are important dates for families to be aware of for this academic year. Parents often plan holidays in advance and I therefore wish to draw to your attention our policy on holidays during term time, which are actively discouraged. The school policy is as follows. Term time holiday requests can only be authorised in exceptional and extenuating circumstances e.g. service personnel and others who are prevented from taking holidays during school closures, or should a family need time together due to crisis. Where this is the case, as a school we may consider authorising a leave of absence. There is no automatic right to absence for a family holiday. Holiday that has not been agreed will be coded as an unauthorised absence and may be subject to the issuing of a Penalty Notice by the London Borough of Newham. Authorisation during external and mock examination periods, and in the first term of any new school placement is not likely to be granted. Your daughter’s previous attendance history will also be taken into account. Where extenuating circumstances exist, parents are asked to write to me, Head Teacher, Mrs McGowan.

All admissions authorities for state funded schools in England must comply with the current Schools Admissions Code which is produced by Department for Education and sets out the law and guidance relating to school admissions. Local authorities have an important role in monitoring compliance with the Admissions Code and are required to report annually to the Schools Adjudicator on the fairness and legality of the admissions arrangements for all schools in their area, including those for whom they are the admissions authority. As the Admissions Authority for the community and voluntary controlled infant, junior and primary schools located in Newham, the local authority is required to draft, consult on and determine their admission arrangements including the oversubscription criteria for each new academic year. Admission arrangements for state funded non fee paying independent academies, free schools university technical colleges (UTC) and voluntary aided faith schools located in Newham are set by their own Academy Trust/Governing Body, who are the Admission Authority.

  • Transition Booklet 2020-21
    Preparing Brampton Primary Children for Secondary School What is Transition? Transition can be described as the moving or changing from one position to another; e.g. the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The move from primary school to secondary school can be the biggest and most memorable transition a person will experience in their lifetime. Therefore, we at Brampton Primary feel that it is vital to prepare our students for this transition well before they start secondary school in September. Why Transition is Important? A large number of primary school pupils live very close to school, so they can leave their homes five minutes before the start of school and still be on time. However, when starting secondary school all children will have to take into consideration the following issues: • Their Journey Your child may have to start thinking about how they will travel to and from school. • Their Weekly/Daily Preparation Your child will have to think about whether his/her uniform is clean and ironed, if they have the correct books and equipment/stationery in their bag, and especially if they have done their homework. • Their Time Management Your child may have to start waking up earlier which could mean getting themselves an alarm clock. Your child will also have to spend a lot more of their free time focusing on their homework. The above may seem like small things to worry about but they are genuine concerns that children have. If we (parents, teachers, adults) neglect to discuss these things with the children, then the children could end up getting into trouble and receiving detentions because of lateness, non-uniform and unfinished homework.
