Summary

We aim to stimulate and challenge the minds of our pupils in order for them to attain their maximum academic potential. However, our interest in our pupils is not confined to academic results. We want our pupils to acquire life-long skills which prepare them for the challenges of the future. Therefore, we work to ensure that each pupil develops their personal talents through a wide range of extra- curricular opportunities.

Our school is a happy and caring community which believes in traditional values. We aim to instil in our pupils a sense of belonging and to develop personal qualities of tolerance, mutual respect, courtesy, resilience, compassion, hope, hard work, justice, wisdom, courage, responsibility and integrity. We work to ensure that each pupil is supported to achieve their best and develop their talents, however diverse.

The function of the Annual Report to parents is to gather brief summaries of the main aspects of the life of the school together. Rainey Endowed is intent on having the information presented here in electronic format and easily accessible to whosoever wishes. Thus parents, guardians and friends will find it useful to consult the home page of the school website at http://www.raineyendowed.com and all information contained here, and much more, about the life of the school and discharge of the functions of the Board of Governors as well as the staff of the school might be found.

Secondly, the Board of Governors are conscious of the requirements set out by the Department of Education (DE) for both the content and accessibility of the Annual Report. Every effort has been made to comply with the guidance found in the appropriate DE material (Every School a Good School – the Governors’ Role).

I would like to thank all our staff, parents and pupils for making The Rainey a unique place to work and study. I am also delighted for the support that we receive form our parents/guardians, former pupils and governors in our pursuit of fulfilling the potential of every pupil inside the classroom and outside the classroom.

CHAIR’S INTRODUCTION

I am very pleased to present the Annual Report of the Board of Governors for the academic year 2019/20. Rainey Endowed is committed to successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. We are a school committed to excellence for all the community, regardless of background or creed; a school for all faiths and none.

Staff, students, parents and guardians and the local and wider community can be confident of the school’s capacity to sustain this high quality provision: achievements and standards, leadership and management, safeguarding and child protection and care, guidance and support. I would like to thank each and every staff member of the school who are dedicated, committed and highly skilled to ensure that each student realises his/her full potential, both within and beyond the classroom.

In March of this year COVID 19 began to have a major educational impact upon learning within the classroom, however the professional nature of our staff ensured that the disruption for pupils due to a of lack of face to face teaching was kept to a minimum. Staff and pupils adapted quickly to on-line teaching strategies via the platform of Google Classroom and supported, guided and encouraged every pupil to fulfil their potential. The Minister of Education’s decision to withdraw all pupils in Northern Ireland from GCSE, AS and A2 level examinations added a further challenge to our staff and senior leadership team. Centre assessed grades were requested from the examination body – CCEA, staff provided a wide range of educational data, robustly standardised, and statistically moderated to CCEA. Once again the professionalism of the staff must be recognised ensuring the best possible outcomes for every pupil who should have had the opportunity to sit an external examination. We hope the situation will be resolved in 2021 enabling every pupil to sit their external examinations.

Finally, I would like to offer my thanks to you – the parents and guardians – and to the members of the Board of Governors, for the ongoing and generous support you have shown for RES. As I commend this Annual Report to you, I look forward to your continued interest in and support for our work and vision.

Izette Hunter (Mrs) Chair of the Board of Governors January 2021

The remainder of the day will be allocated to departmental and pastoral time.

Careers, Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG)

We have 3 core aims in our Careers Programme:

Aim 1: Self-Awareness and Development – identifying, assessing and developing the skills and qualities necessary for our pupils to choose and implement an appropriate career plan.

Aim 2: Career Exploration – acquiring and evaluating information, and reviewing experiences to identify and investigate appropriate career pathways and learning opportunities in education, training and employment, locally, nationally and internationally.

Aim 3: Career Management – developing skills in career planning, and employing effective career decision-making strategies to manage transition and make suitable career development choices, with the appropriate support, advice and guidance.

The CEIAG Learning Offer at Rainey Endowed School is comprised of five key elements for each pupil:

 Careers Education  Careers Information  Careers Advice and Guidance  Work-related Learning  Development of Employability Skills

Careers Education

 Helps young people develop the knowledge, skills and qualities they need to make successful choices, manage transitions in learning and to move into work.

Careers Information

 Provides data on opportunities and Labour Market Information (LMI) that is available in different formats e.g. written and printed materials, ICT software, DVDs and websites including contact that is face-to-face with individuals or in groups or classes.

Careers Advice

This involves:

 helping a young person to understand and interpret information  providing information and answering questions  clarifying misunderstandings  understanding their circumstances, abilities and targets  advising them on their options or how to go about a given course of action  identifying needs and signposting or referring young people who may need more in-depth guidance and support

Careers Guidance

This aims to:

• support young people to better understand themselves and their needs • confront barriers to understanding, learning and progression • resolve issues and conflicts • support young people to develop new perspectives and solutions to problems, and • enable young people to manage their lives better and achieve their potential

Guidance may also involve advocacy on behalf of some young people and referral for specialist guidance and support e.g. to the Careers Service NI. This involves more in-depth one-to-one work conducted by staff trained and competent in guidance work. Guidance usually involves the exploration of young people’s circumstances - their ideas, values, needs and beliefs in relation to opportunities or issues that are confronting or confusing them.

Work – Related Learning

Development of Employability Skills

As well as the skills and capabilities necessary for Employability, aptitudes and dispositions such as personal responsibility, curiosity, concern for others, community spirit, self-belief, flexibility, tolerance, commitment, respect and integrity are developed throughout the whole curriculum.

The Northern Ireland Curriculum at Key Stage 3 has enhanced the development of these skills as has the statutory requirements of Education for Employability at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. In Year 13 and Year 14 the school’s extra- curricular programme and work experience also allows for the development of these skills.

Advisory work is usually provided on a one-to-one basis but may also be provided in small or class groups.

The Curriculum

At Rainey Endowed School:

 We provide a broad and balanced curriculum that offers personalised learning  Our pupils receive outstanding information, advice and guidance  Our pupils are among the highest performing pupils in Northern Ireland  We are committed to developing a holistic approach to learning and offer an extensive student enrichment programme

The programmes of study which pupils follow fall under three main headings - Key Stage 3 (Years 8-10), Key Stage 4 (Years 11-12) and Sixth Form (Years 13-14). The following is the proposed structure for 2019-20:

SECTION 4 – PASTORAL CARE

GENERAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR SCHOOL DISCIPLINE, INCLUDING ARRANGEMENTS FOR PASTORAL CARE AND SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS (SEN)

Arrangements for Pastoral Care The general aim of the school's pastoral care provision is to ensure that all pupils have the opportunity, in an orderly and secure environment, to develop to the full, socially and academically, as independent individuals, responsible for their own actions and respectful of the rights and needs of others. However, more than anything we want our pupils to be happy in their time at the school.

While all members of the academic staff have responsibility for general pastoral care, a structured system of Heads of Year, supported by Tutors, ensures that the pastoral welfare of each pupil is the specific responsibility of one particular member of staff to whom the pupil can turn for help or guidance. Heads of Year wider pastoral responsibilities include monitoring pupils' general progress, giving advice where necessary, ensuring that pupils adhere to the Pupil Code of Conduct and liaising with parents. The school operates a Mentoring Programme offering support and guidance to pupils in the junior school. Parents will have the opportunity to speak to their child’s teachers at Parents’ Evenings, the dates of which are published in the school calendar circulated to all parents. In addition, parents may make an appointment to speak to their child’s Head of Year to discuss academic progress or matters of a wider pastoral nature. Appointments may also be made with the Head of Year, Assistant Principal (Pastoral Care, Mr Simpson), Vice Principal or Principal, as is deemed necessary and appropriate.

The taught pastoral curriculum comprises of:

(i) A programme of Personal Development, including relationships and sexuality education and drugs education, delivered by pastoral staff as part of the Learning for Life and Work programme. (ii) Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) delivered by the Careers Department both through timetabled periods and individual guidance. Copies of the school’s policies on Pastoral Care, Child Protection and Special Educational Needs are available from the school website.

Pastoral Structure

The pastoral system aims to prepare pupils to be successful, confident and responsible members of society, and to foster an atmosphere in which each member of the community feels valued and respected. We seek to develop pupils’ self-esteem and ability to form positive relationships with others through the work of the pastoral team in each year group.

The Rainey places great emphasis on the Pastoral Care element of our work which we see as being at the heart of everything we do.

Our Pastoral Structure has been designed to ensure that pupils will always have access to individual attention or individual support. Each year group is assigned a number of staff with specific pastoral responsibilities for that year group, e.g. it has a Head of Year and tutor classes each with a form tutor to look after pupils on a day-today basis.

Role Of Head Of Year

The Head of Year manages a team of Form Tutors who play a key role in supporting and advising pupils on a daily basis. The Head of Year is in daily charge of the year group in much the same way as a Principal in a smaller school. The Head of Year co-ordinates the daily work and activities of the year group and deals with any problems which might arise.

Specifically, the Head of Year is responsible for pupil progress: for encouraging effective learning by each individual pupil in the year group and for the regular monitoring, review and evaluation of pupil learning. The Head of Year takes a leadership role in pastoral and academic matters, and is responsible for dealing with any behavioural and emotional wellbeing issues which might arise, as these can be a hindrance to effective teaching and learning.

Personal Social and Health Education is delivered by the pastoral team, and through external speakers and special events when the Pastoral Team feel that such external assistance is important.

Role Of Tutor

As already mentioned, each class has a tutor who meets the class at the start of each school day. The tutor monitors the attendance, punctuality, progress, standards of uniform and behaviour of the pupils in their class. They also have an important mentoring role with the pupils in their care as well as a role in target-setting, review and evaluation of pupil progress.

Specifically, the tutor checks absentee notes and inspects the student planners and checks the homework which members of the class are due to hand in each day. They check that each pupil is wearing the correct uniform and that they are properly equipped for class and identify any pastoral concerns.

Together with the Head of Year, the tutors have an important role in encouraging effective learning and in fostering good class spirit and mutually respectful relationships.

Role Of Subject Teacher

Given that we see the process of education as being essentially pastoral, the subject teacher – the person directly involved in the delivery of high quality classroom teaching and learning – has an important pastoral role.

It is the duty of the subject teacher to create a stimulating and supportive learning environment for the pupils, to foster good relationships in the classroom and to promote positive behaviour based on mutual respect. In these circumstances effective teaching and learning will prosper.

Pastoral Staff

The Head of Pastoral Care is Mr C Simpson.

21st Century pupils

The pupils at Rainey Endowed come from differing religious traditions, and the school to take account of parents' wishes with respect to these matters.

Assembly

The 1986 Education Order placed a requirement upon schools to hold religious Assemblies. This is in keeping with the long-standing traditions of Rainey Endowed. Assemblies are of a Christian nature, taking the form of scripture readings and prayers. The Assembly is not distinctive of any one church or tradition, but is led by staff, pupils and guest speakers.

Religious Studies

Since 2006 there has been an agreed core syllabus of Religious Studies approved by the Department of Education and agreed by representatives of the four main churches. This syllabus forms the basis of the work covered in Religious Studies in Rainey Endowed. Pupils in Year 11 and Year 12 who choose GCSE Religious Studies (Full Course), are taught in mixed classes, as are those opting for AS and A Level. Pupils not taking GCSE Religious Studies (Full Course) continue to receive Religious Studies teaching in mixed classes and take the short course in GCSE Religious Studies provided by CCEA. It is the legal right of any parent to request that their child be excused from Religious Studies or from attendance at school assembly, and the school will comply with such requests that are made in writing to the Principal.

Holy Days

On Church Holy Days which occur in term-time, Catholic pupils attending the Rainey are afforded the opportunity to attend Mass, accompanied by members of staff, when this provision is available. Although the school does not require Catholic pupils to attend Mass, it does, however, encourage them to do so.

Special Educational Needs

The school identifies those pupils with special educational needs and places them on the school’s Special Educational Needs Register. These pupils are monitored and supported in accordance with the Code of Practice and in consultation with parents and, where necessary, other support agencies. The school seeks to provide appropriate provision with regard to classroom teaching and examination arrangements for pupils with special educational needs should this be required. A copy of the School’s Policy on Special Educational Needs is available from the School website.

The Global Dimension

Rainey Endowed has been involved in a number of activities to enhance its pupils' perception and understanding of the wider world. School trips have been planned and organised with the view to better understand our European neighbours. In addition, there is a bi-annual trip to Rome/Naples with the focus on Church history, Italian culture, volcanic impacts and tourism. Rainey Endowed has partnered Abaana, a Christian charity based in Bangor, Northern Ireland, with a vision of building Rainey Primary in Northern Uganda. The word “Abaana” comes from a language found in the country of Uganda (East Africa) and means “children.” A team of 25 pupils and 5 staff worked on the first phase. Our intention is for this programme to operate on a bi-annual basis. Pupils were also involved with the street children of Kampala and taught in a local primary school. The Rainey’s vision is to prepare pupils to be global citizens of the 21st Century and the link with Abaana is very much in keeping with the aims of our founder, Hugh Rainey, who endowed a school to teach pupils from all social and religious backgrounds.

Rainey Endowed plays an integral role in local cross-community links, with a number of joint ventures among the 5 schools through the Shared Education Programme and the Magherafelt Learning Partnership. As a mark of recognition of the school’s global and international links, we were the recipients of the prestigious ‘International Schools’ Award’, Eco Schools and Global Leaders’ Programme awards.

As a caring school we believe in respect and tolerance and that our pupils live in a truly global community where they can learn and develop a sense of belonging. This is not just for pupils, but also for staff who are involved in projects in China, France, Spain, Israel and Africa.

Enrichment

We believe that enrichment opportunities are an essential part of your child’s education. This is why we expect your child to choose from approximately 50 activities that take place at lunchtime or after school. The range is vast, with everything from animal club to Young Enterprise on offer. Many of these are led by coaches and our dedicated staff and pupils. Through enrichment comes the confidence borne of trying something new, of broadened experiences and of a wider set of friendships. Enrichment encourages teamwork, competition, leadership and resilience. At Rainey Endowed School we focus on the development of leadership skills, with pupils being able to take part in a wide range of opportunities.

Security

Security is paramount. Our site is secure and all perimeter gates are locked by the end of Registration period. Entrance can only be gained by accessing the buzzer which is operated from reception.

Visitors have to wait to be permitted entry into the school due to the security doors in operation. Visitors must sign and display their visitor’s pendant.

The site security and DDA and Health & Safety are all currently under audit and the Rainey Endowed Board of Governors are in discussions with EA/DE about how to ameliorate the situation to the betterment of all visitors, staff, parents and pupils.

Student Leadership

The focus on leadership development is a priority as pupils progress from Year 8 to Year 14. We offer a vast range of leadership qualifications, many of them nationally accredited, such as the Millennium Volunteers, Duke of Edinburgh Award and Young Enterprise.

Our pupils also connect with young people their own age from different parts of the world and we have exchanges with France and Spain, have links to China, India and Uganda and have been awarded International Schools’ Status.

We also offer leadership opportunities for pupils as Peer Mentors, Academic Mentors, House Captains, Digital Leaders, School Council, Sixth Form Committee, Prefects, Senior Prefects and Heads of School.

Serving the Whole Community

It is important that pupils and staff not only act in a caring way towards others within the school, but also in the surrounding area. We are involved in helping many groups across the whole community, including all ages and backgrounds. These activities include teaching French and sports to local primary schools, organising Music workshops, visiting Milesian Manor, assisting at Charis Charity Shop and working with the Magherafelt Food Bank, Age Well and offering support at Kilronan School.

Rainey Endowed School is also involved in helping a number of charities, both locally and internationally. The main school charity is Abaana. Each year over £6,000 is raised to support good causes. Some of the other charities we have helped in recent years include Operation Christmas Child, Children In Need, Angel Eyes, Save The Children, NSPCC, Cardiac Risk in the Young and the Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children.

International Dimension

Rainey Endowed is involved in a number of activities to enhance its pupils' perception and understanding of the wider world. School trips have been planned and organised with the view to better understand our European neighbours. This has included a Sixth Form History trip to Krakow where the pupils visited Auschwitz; this complemented an earlier study of the Holocaust. In addition there is a bi-annual trip to Rome/Naples with the focus on Church history, Italian culture, volcanic impacts and tourism. Rainey Endowed has partnered Abaana with a vision of building “Rainey Primary” – a small primary school to be built in Northern Uganda. Abaana is a Christian charity based in Bangor, Northern Ireland, that works in Uganda. The word “Abaana” comes from a language found in the country of Uganda (East Africa) and means “children.” Abaana was set up in January 1998 and aims to show young people that through sacrificing a little time and money, they can also get involved in making a difference. It invests in Children in Africa, helping them to break the chains of poverty, through education. We are sending a team of 25 pupils, Rainey Endowed and Henry Brothers staff in June 2019 to Uganda to help build the school. The pupils will get involved with the street children of Kampala and teach in some of the local primary schools. They will also assist with local projects organised by Abaana. The Rainey’s vision is to prepare pupils to be global citizens of the 21 Century and the link with Abaana is very much in keeping with the aims of our founder, Hugh Rainey, who endowed a school to teach pupils from all social and religious backgrounds and to give back to the community

Extra-Curricular

We believe that enrichment opportunities are an essential part of a young person’s education. This is why we offer our pupils the opportunity to choose from approximately 60 activities that take place at lunchtime or after school. The range is vast, with everything from Agricultural and Rural Club to Young Enterprise on offer. Many of these are led by coaches and our dedicated staff and pupils. Through enrichment comes the confidence borne of trying something new, of broadened experiences and of a wider set of friendships. Enrichment encourages teamwork, competition, leadership and resilience. At Rainey Endowed School we focus on the development of leadership skills, with pupils being able to take part in a wide range of opportunities.
