School Brochure 2018 – 2019 SCHOOL BROCHURE 2018 – 2019 Green Lane Barnard Castle Co. Durham DL12 8LG Tel: 01833 690298 Fax: 01833 690316 Email: [email protected] Website: www.greenlane.durham.sch.uk Headteacher: Mr R Goffee Welcome to Our School I would like to thank you for showing interest in our wonderful school! My name is Mr Goffee and I am fortunate enough to be the Headteacher here. Green Lane is a rural school in the heart of Teesdale and at the centre of our local community. We offer a fantastic education based around achievement and success in a nurturing, holistic environment. At Green Lane we see the ultimate purpose of education as the promotion of “life in all its fullness.” Here education is about more than just academic achievement; it is about developing young people who can flourish in all areas of their lives developing the intellectual, spiritual, moral and physical attributes, becoming proud and respectful members of our community. The Christian ethos and values are central to the experiences our children have each day at ‘Team GL.’ At Green Lane Church of England Primary School we listen to one another and recognise each other’s worth (even when we occasionally disagree!). ‘British Values’ teach that tolerance is essential in our society, reflecting the Archbishop of Canterbury’s encouragement to be honest, loving and faithful. I hope you will enjoy your time in our school, learning from us and with us and I would welcome the opportunity to show you round and answer any questions you may have. Mr Goffee Headteacher 1 Green Lane CE Primary School is situated in the south west Durham market town of Barnard Castle at the top of Green Lane, just off Victoria Road. It is surrounded by extensive playing fields and gardens with panoramic views of Teesdale. The school premises were built in 1956 as a secondary school. In 1977 secondary provision in Barnard Castle was amalgamated and relocated to its current site at Teesdale School. Barnard Castle Junior and Infant Schools then moved into the vacant Green Lane building. In 1980 the two schools were combined to form Barnard Castle C.E. Primary School, now known as Green Lane CE Primary School. The school was refurbished five years ago and full disabled access is now possible. The school caters for 4-11 year olds with 231 children currently on roll. As well as the primary school the site at Green Lane also now houses Green Lane Nursery and Childcare Centre and High Force SCITT (School Centred Initial Teacher Training), both of which have been judged by Ofsted to offer outstanding provision. The school is very proud of its close links with the Nursery and High Force and takes an active role in supporting both. Pupils from Green Lane come from a large catchment area and the majority will transfer to Teesdale School, although a few move on to Staindrop Academy or Barnard Castle School. Green Lane is a Voluntary Controlled Church of England school, and has strong links with St. Mary’s Parish Church in the centre of the town. The children are encouraged in a wide variety of ways to develop Christian values and staff work hard to ensure that the Christian ethos pervades throughout the school. Our core values: Caring - We look after each other, our school and our town Respectful - We show each other good manners Forgiving – we show compassion to one another Honest – We tell the truth Nurturing – We build each other up to achieve our full potential Inspiring – We look up to each other with love and kindness Inclusive – We value everyone “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark” Michelangelo At Green Lane we set high expectations for ALL pupils 2 What does Ofsted think of our school? All children, including boys and the most able, make a good start in the Reception class. Parents explain that children settle quickly and that staff plan activities effectively to meet their different needs. Children in the early years say they enjoy school, especially reading books and listening to stories. Staff ensure that children make good progress. They provide an exciting range of activities to engage children with learning both inside and outdoors. Nine out of 10 pupils who were eligible for pupil premium funding made good progress in reading, writing and mathematics last year. Ofsted November 2017 MISSION STATEMENT: “QUALITY AND EQUALITY with all pupils having equality of opportunity and experience of the highest quality in a caring environment.” At Green Lane Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School our prime aim is to ensure the optimum development of each pupil as an individual person who is given the challenge and opportunity to develop their full potential in a happy, stimulating and secure environment, reflecting the school’s strong Christian ethos. Our expectation is that on transfer to secondary education their will be able to readily access all aspects of the curriculum at Key Stage 3 with enthusiasm and confidence and be able to grow as an individual with high self-esteem, a respect for others and a willingness to play a positive role in society. 3 1.

The admission limit at Green Lane is 38 pupils. Parents and children are always invited to visit the school before the actual starting date. At that time special information sheets (in addition to the school brochure) are distributed. It is also an ideal opportunity for meaningful discussion between parents and teachers who both want the transition from home-life to school to be as natural and happy as possible for the children. Our staff visit the children in their pre-school setting and the children are invited to visit the school during the summer term before official admission in September. Children transferring from other schools are also welcome to visit before their admission to help with the transition. Primary Admissions Criteria If more children want a place than there are places available, we will offer places according to the following criteria, strictly in order of priority: Children who are ‘looked after’ or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, residence/child arrangement, or special guardianship order*. A looked after child is a child who is, at the time of making an application to a school, (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989).Medical Reasons - Pupils with very exceptional medical factors related to school placement. Applications under this criterion should be supported by written evidence from a doctor. Medical Reasons – Children with very exceptional medical factors directly related to school placement Sibling Links - Children who have a sibling already attending the school who is expected to be on roll at the school at the time of admission. Distance - Pupils who live nearest the school measured by the shortest walking route. This will be based on the parents’ address. Where the last place to be allocated would mean that a multiple birth sibling group i.e. twins, triplets or other multiple birth sibling groups, would be split, the sibling group will be given priority over other children. Otherwise, if only one final place can be offered and two applicants live equidistant from the school, the Local Authority’s system of random application will apply. Please note that in the event of over-subscription within criteria (i) or (ii), places will be granted to those pupils living nearest to the school (measured by the shortest walking route). All admissions, including in-year transfers, are dealt with by the Children and Young People’s Service at County Hall. The best way to apply is online www.durham.gov.uk/schooladmissions. If you do not wish to apply on line you will need to complete an application from, which is available from School Admissions & Transport Team, Children and Adult Services, Durham County Council, County Hall, Durham, DH1 5UJ. 03000 265896. 6 Class Organisation Our school covers the three primary stages – Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6).

  • Cabinet 6 February 2019 School Admission Arrangements Academic
    Cabinet 6 February 2019 School Admission Arrangements Academic Year 2020/21 Report of Corporate Management Team Margaret Whellans, Corporate Director, Children and Young People's Services Councillor Olwyn Gunn, Portfolio Holder for Children and Young People’s Services Electoral division(s) affected: Countywide Purpose of the Report 1 The purpose of this report is to ask Cabinet to consider and approve the proposed admission arrangements and oversubscription criteria for Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools for the 2020/21 academic year. Executive summary 2 There is a proposed additional criterion to the current oversubscription criteria for admission to Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools. The Government wishes admission authorities to introduce oversubscription criteria to give children who were previously in state care outside of England, and have ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted, second highest priority for admission into school. This is because the Government believes such children are vulnerable and may have experienced abuse and neglect prior to being adopted. 3 Consultation has been carried out with schools, other admission authorities, Governing Bodies and parents on the council's admission arrangements in accordance with the national School Admissions Code as it is 7 years since they were last consulted on. Recommendation 4 Cabinet is asked to agree the proposed oversubscription criteria for admission to Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools; and to agree the following in respect of Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools, when determining the admission arrangements for 2020/21: (i) That the proposed admission numbers as recommended in Appendix 2 be approved. (ii) That the admission arrangements at Appendix 3 be approved.

  • Freedom of Information Request: Review of Post 16 Education and Training Provision for Young People with SEND
    Freedom of Information Request: Review of Post 16 Education and Training Provision for young people with SEND (i) The purpose of the review The purpose of the review was to obtain an enhanced understanding of the current post-16 offer for students with Special Educational Needs, focusing in particular on: The curriculum provided; The impact of the curriculum in terms of outcomes for learners; Gaps in learning provision in relation to known needs; Progression opportunities including employment, supported employment, volunteering, social enterprise, and adult social care provision. (ii) The methodology of the review The research was undertaken over a period of five months between July and November 2014. It involved visits to special schools; mainstream schools; general further education colleges; sixth form colleges; independent specialist providers, including some provision outside of County Durham. The review involved interviews with senior staff using a questionnaire and in some cases a tour of facilities. A separate questionnaire was also devised for parents / carers as well as an invitation to attend a focus group discussion. Ofsted reports and Learning Difficulty Assessments were also analysed as part of the review process. (iii) Key findings The key findings from the review were disseminated at a workshop that took place in March 2015 and included: The curriculum offer varies across County Durham – Study Programmes are underdeveloped in some learning provision; The amount of time that learners spend in school or college is not consistent – schools tend to provide Study Programmes up to approximately 30 hours per week over five days; colleges tend to provide Study Programmes of approximately 16 hours per week over two to three days.
