We would like to take this opportunity to wish you an extremely warm welcome to Lightcliffe Academy. The aim of this booklet is to help you to find out about your new school and get off to a great start when you arrive in September.

At Lightcliffe Academy, our core values are Dignity, Aspiration, Respect, Endeavour and Service. They help us to make our school a happy place where students feel safe and learn a lot. We are very proud of our school and students-they are our best ambassadors and represent themselves and our school well. We hope that you have high expectations of yourself and we encourage you to see yourself as a "Leader of Learning".

High quality learning is at the heart of our school and we can offer you plenty of learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. We encourage you to take advantage of these and make the most of your time at Lightcliffe Academy.

We look forward to working with you and your parents/carers to help you to be the very best that you can be.

Yours sincerely

Our Mission Statement is to:

These are our values: The member of the Senior Leadership Team who is in charge of Student Welfare is Mr J Clarke

The Head of Year for Year 7 is—Miss L Williams They are helped by Mrs D Fenwick (Attendance) & Miss L Barr (Head of Nurture)

Your form tutor will be responsible for looking after you every morning. They will get to know you well and will deal with any questions you have. They are usually the first person you or your parent/carer will speak to if you have a problem that needs dealing with. Each day you will meet with your form tutor in your form room for Tutor Time. It is important that you arrive on time. The morning starts at 8:40am every day so you should be in school by 8:30am

You will already know some of the students in your form group from your primary school and you will have already met the other students on the morning of Transition Day.

Form groups are arranged by year group. This means that during Tutor Time you will spend 20 minutes each day with only Year 7 students.

At Tutor Time, you are expected to be in your seat and wearing correct school uniform. You must wait quietly for your teacher to take the register and read out any notices. Often, they will check uniform or equipment before they ask you to read silently, discuss any major topics of the day, complete work that is relevant to the ‘Pastoral Curriculum’ or attend assembly.

Each week there will be time given to the ‘Pastoral Curriculum’. This is work that might help you through school or give information about options, careers, current affairs or even help you understand how to keep yourself healthy and safe.

You will attend one assembly each week. This will be with your Head of Year or with a member of the Leadership Team. At Lightcliffe Academy you will have different teachers and you will go to different classrooms for every subject.

It is important that you take pride in your work and always check classwork and homework for correct spelling and punctuation.

In lessons, you will be asked to sit in a particular seat or work with a particular group of people and you are expected to try to do your best. If you find the work difficult, teachers and other adults will help you.

You will be given a ‘Progress Level’ soon after arriving in Year 7 and you will be encouraged and helped to work towards and even beyond this level.

There are also a number of ‘Learning Habits’ we would like you to follow. These all relate to the school values and can be found on the next page.

Homework is an important part of learning at Lightcliffe Academy. It prepares you for the world of work and for further study at College or University, where you will be asked to complete tasks when no-one is constantly checking what you do.

Homework is important because:

1. It will help your teacher to find out if you understood during the lesson

2. It will help you to remember what you learned in the lesson

3. It will also help you to develop ways for finding things out when there is not someone available to help you

4. It will prepare you for life after school, when you are given a job or study at Sixth Form or University.

You should expect to receive homework and you should spend at least 20-30 minutes completing each piece of set homework.

All homework should have a date, title and ‘H/W’ written at the top of the work.

You and your parent/carer will also have access to an app for your computer, smartphone or tablet, which will inform you both of when you have homework, as well as when you have been awarded an Achievement Point for good work or behaviour. However, it will also inform you of when you get a behaviour mark for bad behaviour!

These can be downloaded from the Apple App Store:

Or from Google Play:

To have a look at what this looks like then take a look online at: https://pages.classcharts.com/#ParentsAndStudentsApps During your first morning at school, you will receive a two week timetable.

Week One will have different lessons to Week Two. You can check your timetable to find out which week it is. As well as having a paper copy, you can log on to Outlook and view it in your Calendar.

Every day you will have 5 different lessons as well as a Tutor Time period and your timetable will look something like this:

Mathematics Food Technology English Modern Foreign Languages Drama History Physical Education (PE) Technology: Resistant Materials Science Geography Religious Education Information Technology (IT) Technology: Graphic Art Music Technology: Textiles Design

You will be expected to bring the equipment listed below to school with you every day.

 1 blue/black pen  A green pen  A pencil  A ruler  A rubber  Your reading book (DEAR Book)  A scientific calculator (Casio FX-83 GT or similar is the preferred model, these can be purchased through school for £8.35 via ParentPay)

It is important that you are always equipped for learning, without the basics you cannot make the most of your learning opportunities. It is also advisable to have some spare pens and a pencil sharpener.

As you get older you will also need basic Maths equipment:  A protractor  A compass

In addition, you will need two aprons:

 White for Food Technology

 Beige for Resistant Materials and Art All students will have Art on their timetable for the first two years at school. It will be helpful if you have a rubber and an apron for lessons that involve working with materials such as clay or printing ink.

If you have been taking music lessons at primary school, then you may wish to carry them on when you join Lightcliffe Academy. You will be able to do this if you wish.

The school uses tutors from the Peripatetic Service and you may well have met them at your primary school. Your parent/ carer may wish to contact them directly but if you need more information, please see Mr West, Head of Music. There are tests in most school subjects during the school year. Your teachers will tell you when your tests are and they will tell you what to revise and how best to revise.

At three points during the year your parent/carer will receive a progress report on how well you are doing in all of your subjects. Each report will also include information of your effort (Endeavour), behaviour (Respect), homework (Endeavour) and any next steps to help you progress further.

During the year there will be two opportunities for you to attend parents evenings with your parent/carer. The first one is in October and is called a ‘Moving-on’ evening. It is a time for you and your parent/carer to speak to your Head of House/Form Tutor about settling in and your early progress.

The second is in the Spring Term 2020 and is ‘Parents Evening’ where you and your parent/carer can discuss with all of your subject teachers how you are getting on. This will help you to find areas that you are doing well in and where you can make improvements. You will be emailed details of how to log on to our online booking system and book appointments, approximately two weeks before the evening.

Rewards can take the form as simply as praise but more often students receive an ‘Achievement Point’, and this is recorded centrally on the school system. This links to the ClassCharts electronic app and parents/ carers are notified when you receive a point.

Achievement Points can be gained for any one of the five school values and are rewarded for:

Dignity – usually for something that shows you doing the best you can and bringing a positive image of yourself, your family or the school. Aspiration – often awarded for trying to achieve something you have never done before Respect – where you try to show tolerance of others, and care for the community or environment. Endeavour – usually awarded for hard work and effort Service – where you have undertaken a random act of kindness, or helped or supported another student, or member of the community. Attendance and punctuality (being on time) are very important at Lightcliffe Academy. If you achieve 100% attendance and punctuality then you are more likely to make the most of your learning opportunities and you won’t miss out. If you achieve 100% attendance, you will be rewarded with:  A letter home to your parent/carer  A certificate that will be presented to you in assembly  For ‘Outstanding’ attendance and punctuality you will also receive additional Achievement Points

If you are absent from or late to school, your parents/carers must contact the Attendance Officer on 01422 201028 option 1 (ext 137) or text on our Absence Alert Number – 07624812225 Alternatively parents/carers can email [email protected] for each day of absence, so that we know where you are.

Holiday requests must be emailed to [email protected] for permission. Any holidays taken in term-time are unauthorised unless due to an unexceptional circumstance.

If you are not in school and we are not aware, your parent/carer WILL receive a text message asking for them to contact school immediately to explain your absence.

Punctuality is very important and we expect you to arrive at school on time for Period 1 and all of your lessons. In September, you will receive your ID Card. This is your own personal card and will have your name and photograph on it. You must not deface your card and if you misplace it, your parent/carer will need to purchase a replacement for £3 via ParentPay - www.parentpay.com. This is also the way that parents/carers top-up your lunch money and view what you have bought throughout the day.

We are very proud that our school was the first Secondary School in Calderdale to be awarded the ‘National Healthy Schools Award’.

The school canteen offers a variety of food and drink items for you to purchase. We have a pasta/curry bar, sandwiches, wraps and paninis. Hot meals are also available. You can buy a Meal Deal for £2.60; this consists of a main meal, plus a dessert or a piece of fruit/yoghurt or a bottle of water.

It is important to eat a healthy, balanced lunch and to drink plenty of water so that you are ready to learn. You may decide to bring a packed lunch; you can eat this in the Main Hall with the other students. We ask all students to place any litter in bins in order to keep our school clean and tidy. Please bring a reusable water bottle. You are able to refill your water bottle using the water fountains around school.

For your own safety, you are not allowed to leave the school premises at either break or lunchtimes. Leadership is important through the school years. We will encourage you to go for your goals and speak up. Next year there will be Form Captains who will represent you and your peers and voice any concerns/issues to your Year group forum and Head of House. They then can take your wishes and concerns to the whole school council. The responsibility of the School Council is to make an active and positive contribution to the daily life of the school community and to also help the form tutor with various roles and responsibilities within the form. The School Council can then speak to Mrs Nellis (Principal) and changes around school can be made for the better. One of the issues tackled by the School Council was mobile phones. Students felt that the rules regarding mobile phones in school were not clear and they wanted to make them easy to understand. The School Council worked together to create a ‘Code of Conduct’ that they took brought to the Senior Leadership Team in school for approval. An outline of the school Code of Conduct for mobile phones is below.

 Mobile phones are allowed in school at your own risk

 School cannot nor will not accept any responsibility for mobile phones that are either lost or stolen on the school premises, on school visits or whilst travelling to and from school

 In addition, PE staff may allow mobile phones to be placed in the valuables tray during PE lessons or practices for safe keeping

 At all times during the school day, mobile phones must be inside the student’s bag and they must be switched OFF completely. Having it on silent or vibrate runs the risk of having it confiscated

 If parents/carers need to contact you urgently they should phone the school office and a message will be given to you. If you need to contact your parent/carer you may use a school phone, NOT your own mobile

 If students use their mobile phone during the school day, it will be confiscated and it will only be returned to the parent/carer who must collect it in person from the school office To make everybody’s bus journey as enjoyable as possible, we ask you to sign up to the following Code of Conduct:

 Queue sensibly, away from the road  Get on the bus calmly, without pushing  Parents/carers must ensure that your child is at the bus stop in good time to catch the bus

 Show your pass to the driver  Pay for your journey  Find a seat and stay seated for the journey  Fasten your seatbelt (where applicable) - for safety and as a legal requirement  Do not distract the driver—unless in an emergency  Do not damage the bus  Always behave sensibly throughout your journey  Never touch the emergency exit  Never leave your bag in the aisle

 When your stop is next, press the bell once. If it has already been pressed, you do not need to ring it again  If you have to cross the road after you get off the bus, wait until the bus has moved off and you can see the road clearly in both directions or go to the nearest available crossing

You are respectfully reminded that by registering to use the service, you accept the terms and conditions of travel. This includes sanctions which would be applied if the required standards of behaviour are not met. Parents/carers need to be aware that if their child causes any damage or does not meet the required standard of behaviour on the bus they could:  Have their pass withdrawn  Be banned from the bus  Be prosecuted by the police  Be required to pay for any damage they have caused

It is important to note that your bus pass now needs to be purchased on-line Applications need to be made to Metro on their website ‘Generation M’. The direct address for the applica- tion form is https://www.wymetro.com/schools/ For the bus routes please see the website or the attached routes at the back of this booklet.

Additional Work – Maths

Dear Parent/Carer

At Lightcliffe Academy we have been using www.hegartymaths.com as an online learning tool with our Key Stage 3 classes. When your child begins at Lightcliffe Academy they will be doing their homework and revision using this site. We will set your child up with a login so that over the summer they can begin to familiarise themselves with how the website works and the importance of independent study. I have attached a list of topics that both revise the content they will have covered in year 6 and also introduce the topics we will be covering in year 7. Alongside this I have attached a guide on how to login for the first time and search for a topic.

It is not required that the students complete this revision but it is there as an extra tool for you to support and prepare your child for their transition to our school. The list of topics is quite extensive so please don’t feel that they need to complete everything. Some topics may be too easy for them; there is no need for them to revise these. If they feel a topic is too difficult one of the major benefits of using Hegarty Maths is that each topic comes with its own video explaining the topic and doing some example questions. After they have completed a question they can leave feedback for the teacher which will give us some insights into the areas your child may need help with in September.

If you have any issues logging in please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]

Thank you for your support.
