GOVERNORS’ REPORT TO PARENTS YSGOL LLANBRYNMAIR A word from the Chairman 24th October 2018

Dear Parents/Guardians

It is my pleasure to present the Annual Report to Parents of the Federation of Carno, Glantwymyn and Llanbrynmair on behalf of the governors and school staff again this year. With the support of the Welsh Government '21st Century Schools' grant, and the support of Carno Recreation Association a brand new school building is currently being built at the rear of the current school building at Carno, and the building work at Ysgol Glantwymyn has been finished, although the school is still awaiting for the outdoor area to be completed. The Education Authority are in early discussions with the Cylch Meithrin and Ysgol Llanbrynmair to discuss a possible small extension. These new developments will improve the children's teaching resources for future generations and protect education within our rural community. This was the aim of federating 4 years ago and we as a Governing Body are very glad to see the beginning of the building work.

The three schools within the Federation were very active during the year between learning about the New Curriculum, sports events, the formation of a choir for a concert in the Tabernacl, visits to various shows and Educational workshops. As we reflect on the great successes last year we will look forward to continuing to develop the Federation. The collaboration and joint planning across the Federation sharing good practice contribute to raising standards across all three schools. I would like to thank the staff for their dedication and commitment to working together demonstrating flexibility when needed and to ensure that all pupils have access to a broad and balanced curriculum.

We bid farewell to year 6 learners last year, with many having transferred to the Welsh medium stream at Ysgol Bro Hyddgen or to Llanidloes High School following successful transition arrangements with both high schools throughout the year. We also welcome the new pupils to the reception classes and hope they also enjoy being part of the Federation schools community.

At the end of the summer term we welcomed Mrs. Lisa Morris, Mrs. Bethan Williams and Miss Claire Daniel back from their maternity leave. We also bid farewell to members of the Federation Governors such as Mr Iwan Morgan, the first chairman of the Carno, Glantwymyn and Llanbrynmair Schools Federation. Mr Morgan is retiring after being a member of the Federation Governing Body for 4 years and a dedicated member of Ysgol Llanbrynmair’s Governing Body for over 25 years and also Mrs Ann Owen and Mrs Gwenfair Davies’ term on the governing body has come to an end. I would like to thank them all for their time and commitment. My time on the Governing Body has also ended as Meia has started at Ysgol Bro Hyddgen in September. It has been a privilege for me to be chairman of the Federation for the past 2 years and I take pride in the way in which the communities have worked together to make a success of the Federation. I wish the Federation all the best for the future.

Members of the Governing Body also attended statutory and non-statutory training sessions.

Changes to Parent/Governors Annual meetings Section 94 of the Schools Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013 (the Act) makes important changes to the previous legislative arrangements regarding Annual Parents’/ Governors’ Meetings. It provides new arrangements where parents may request a meeting with a governing body.

Additionally: (a) the meetings must be held within a 25 day period; (b) the 25 day period begins on the day after receiving the petition, but does not include any days that are not school days; (c) if another meeting needs to be held due to a different petition, the 25 day period will not begin until the day after the other meeting has been held; (d) there must be enough days left in the school year to hold the meeting within the 25 day period; (e) meetings will be open to all parents of registered pupils at the school, the Headteacher and anyone else who is invited by the governing body; (f) notification of the meetings to parents must include the date, time and venue, as well as the matter or matters to be discussed For detailed information regarding statutory requirement, petitions and the process for holding a meeting, please follow this link: www.gov.wales/docs/dcells/publications/130503-statutory- guidance-parentsmeetings-en.p

Travelling Allowances for Governors

No travelling cost claims were received from Governors during 2017-18.

Review of Policies The school regularly reviews and assesses the success of all its processes regularly. We regularly review policies and some are available on the school’s website or hard copies can be requested from the Clerk. The Governing Body has reviewed the statutory and non-statutory policies and documents. The statutory policies reviewed are:

Child Protection Policy Preventing Extremism & Radicalisation Policy Safeguarding Policy Data Protection Policy Special Educational Needs Policy and Health and Saftey Policy Additional Learning Needs Curriculum Policy Strategic Equality Plan 2016 - 20 Data Protection Policy Pupil Disciplinary Policy (including bullying) Teacher’s Pay Policy 2017/18 Disciplinary Procedure for Teachers Equal Opportunities Policy Disciplinary Procedure for Support Staff Capacity and Procedure Performance Policy Disciplinary Procedure for Headteacher & Assistant for Schools (teaching staff and non-teaching Headteacher staff) Performance Management Charging for school activities policy School Prospectus The prospectus has been reviewed in September 2018 and small amendments were made to reflect current dates and statistics according to guidelines received from the Welsh Assembly. In accordance with statutory rules, the prospectus is given to the parents of pupils who start full time education at the school. A copy of the prospectus is available from the school office or on the school website.

School Language Policy Ysgol Llanbrynmair is in a traditional Welsh area, and in accordance with Powys Education Authority’s policy, Welsh is the main teaching language of the school. Children are encouraged to speak Welsh both on the yard and during lessons with the exception of the English lessons (Years 3 – 6).

Complaints Please discuss any concerns you may have with the Assistant Headteacher initially. You are also welcome to make an appointment to discuss any issues with the Headteacher. If issues are not resolved then parents should follow the guidelines outlined in the School’s Complaints Policy. This is available on the school website.

Curriculum Statement The school aims to provide a balanced curriculum in accordance with the requirements of the National Curriculum in order to stimulate the educational, emotional and social development of each individual child. The practice and procedures of the Foundation Phase are in place.

Differentiated strategies are used to develop the potential of every child to his/her full development. We aim to achieve the goals in a lively, intimate, interesting and creative way. The school policy documents can be viewed at the school in all subject areas; work plans in each subject area are also in place - in accordance with the guidelines of the National Curriculum. Pupils participate in sports as part of the curriculum and in extra-curricular activities. They also have swimming lessons.

The policies and schemes of work are being continuously monitored and reviewed in accordance with any update changes. The staff of the schools plan together across the Federation and are following the same work plans as required by recent national developments.

Action Plans

The School has a Development Plan and it is fully operational. There is a close link between the school's self-evaluation documents that are reviewed annually. The school is monitoring the impact of the standards and the provision regularly as part of a Federation’s monitoring programme. The impact reports are shared with the Governing Body and the Authority’s Challenge Officer.

Self-appraisal and School Development Plan. Main School Priorities 2017 - 2018

1. Embed the Digital Compency Framework across the school by planning to ensure development in IT skills across the curriculum 2. Plan tasks to challenge borderline pupils to reach their expected Outcome/ level or above in literacy and numeracy across the school 3. Foundation Phase – Plan opportunities for pupils to develop as individual learners within the indoor and outdoor classroom ensuring that they are also given the opportunity to work to their full potential. 4. Introduce the Welsh charter to promote the Welsh ethos and culture in various activites in school and out of school within the wider community. Staff Development / Performance Management

Performance Management is the term used to describe the process of agreeing annual performance objectives involving discussions between teachers and their team leaders, Headteachers and the Governing Body. Performance management supports the work of teachers as individuals and in teams. It establishes a framework for teachers and their team leaders to agree and review priorities and objectives in the context of the school’s development plan. It motivates staff to be more effective in their teaching and subject leadership. This in turn leads to the raising of standards for the whole school.

Teaching staff set objectives with the Headteacher and review meetings take place and new objectives are identified and discussed for the forthcoming year. All teaching assistants also go through the same process as above.

The school receives an Education Improvement Grant (EIG) yearly to ensure that staff are able to access Professional Develepment. Below is an example of the training received by staff during the last academic year.

Moderation day

Teachers from all schools in the Bro Hyddgen Cluster got together in Spring and Summer Terms to moderate pupils' work. The work that was being assessed included Language, Mathematics development and Personal and Social Development for the Foundation Phase (Year 2) and English and Maths for Key Stage 2 (Year 6). The process followed ERW (South West and Central Wales Education Consortium) guidelines to ensure consistency and accuracy in terms of teacher assessments and ensuring that the appropriate levels were awarded to pupils at the end of the key stage.

Local Education Authority and ERW

During the year the school has had 3 core visits by the School Challenge Officer. The main purpose of the first visit during the Autumn Term was to discuss school performance data, self-evaluation and performance management whilst the remainder of the time focused on scrutinising the actions and monitoring progress against the school's priorities. Ysgol Llanbrynmair was placed in the “Green category” within the national categorisation of schools across Wales, as they are able to identify and implement priorities and have shown that they have the capacity to lead and support other schools and staff..

School Council The Council meets every half term and invites Mrs Heulwen Jones, a member of the Federation’s Governing Body to their meetings, to promote the link between the school and the Governing Body. The School Council decides and leads the activities that help others for example Children in Need, Unicef and which charity to support with Thanksgiving Service donations. They also help in organising the Christmas Fair, Christmas Party and choosing the school trip. Members of the council meet members of Carno and Glantwymyn schools’ councils every term and have been discussing matters such as school priorities, looking at school books – marking and Assessment for learning.

Healthy Schools The school is part of the Powys Healthy Schools programme. Pupils are encouraged to eat fruit at morning snack times. The Foundation Phase pupils have milk free of charge during the morning break. The school cook follows the healthy menu set by Powys County Council. There is a water machine located outside the staffroom and pupils are encouraged to drink water throughout the day.The pupils grow vegetables in the garden to sell in the fun afternoon during the Summer Term and cook a variety of healthy goods by using produce from the garden to sell at the Christmas Fayre. The nurse visited during the Summer Term to speak to the pupils about “Growing Up”. The school is part of the Design to Smile programme where the pupils in the Foundation Phase class clean their teeth daily after lunch. The school has been awarded the 5th plaque in the Healthy Schools programme during the Summer term.

Eco Schools The pupils took part in gardening days to help with improving the schools’ environment. Resulting from the environmental survey at the school the Eco council decided to try and think opf ways to save energy and water at the school. The children created posters to be put by the doors and in the toilets and by the sinks to encourage everyone to switch any lights off and to turn the taps off. The whole school under the eco Council guidance will work towards the 4th baner by the end of the summer term 2019. There are two representatives from years 2-6 on the Eco council that meets every half term and there are additional recycling, composting and saving energy officers at the school.

ADDITIONAL LEARNING NEEDS (ALN) The Governor for ALN is Mrs Mary Thomas. The provision for pupils with ALN is effectively monitored by the governors, ALN Co-ordinator and Support Staff within the school. ALN provision aims to ensure that all tasks, resources and materials are differentiated in order to match work to pupils' needs. This is reflected in the work plans and any planning that is being developed at the time. We recognise able and talented children and encourage all pupils to work to their best potential through formal and informal activities. All pupils on the ALN register will be provided with an Independent Learning Plan to be reviewed with the child twice a year. The school follows the authority guidelines on how to place learners on the ALN register.

Intervention Programmes The pupils who need additional support in order to develop numeracy and literacy skills are supported using the weekly programmes, for example, Catch Up Literacy and pupils who need additional support to reinforce Literacy and Numeracy have in-class support within the focused tasks. Generally, pupils who have received intervention develop more confidence and make good progress. Equal Rights, Disability and Equality and Access Plan The school is well aware of its obligations, legally and morally, to avoid discrimination. It has always been considered the ethos of the school that each child is treated as an individual; no matter their age, gender, race, disability or any other difference. The school aims to help all pupils to reach their full potential by supporting them appropriately. As a school we understand the importance of effective teaching and learning and ensure the best possible experiences for all pupils in the school. We ensure that all children with disabilities have the same experiences as everyone else at school. It is possible for children with physical disabilities to have access to all parts of the building. There is also a disabled toilet in the building. The Governing Body updates its Equality and Accessibility Policy and its Equal Rights Policy annually.
