The Governors, Headteacher and Staff will carry out their responsibilities efficiently, effectively and diligently to ensure that our school is a safe learning environment for children. We expect all visitors to the school to uphold this standard.

Message from the Headteacher, Mrs Wilkes.

Welcome to Clifton Primary School. We're a forward thinking, inclusive school with years of educational life and experience that gives the school its unique atmosphere and place in the community. We believe that education is about the whole child and we see the children at our school as individuals. We provide a broad, exciting, creative and balanced curriculum that makes learning fun and meaningful and which sets our children off on their learning journey for life. At Clifton you will find a happy and caring atmosphere where positive attitudes and achievements are celebrated and where children are supported in developing as confident, self-reliant, independent learners who are motivated to fulfil their potential.



School Aims and Ethos We have a clear set of aims in order to pursue excellence – we believe that all children are capable of great things. Below you'll find an outline of our aims and ethos which will show you the educational model that we strive for.

The Curriculum The National Curriculum lies at the heart of what is taught at Clifton Primary School. It sets out a clear, full and statutory entitlement to learning for all children aged five to eleven and determines the content of what will be taught. It is preceded by the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum which is taught to children aged three to five. Both are designed to: • be broad and balanced • promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, intellectual and physical development of children • prepare children for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. The curriculum at Clifton is not static and is subject to ongoing development in order to enhance the provision for our children, and remove potential barriers to learning. In order to learn successfully, we believe children need: • to develop positive self-images through knowing they are valued for themselves • to have equality of opportunity to gain full access to the curriculum • opportunities to form positive relationships within a stable and secure environment • opportunities to express themselves creatively and apply their skills and knowledge • access to a range of stimulating activities and appropriate tools.


Early Years Foundation Stage

‘Every child deserves the best possible start in life to support the achievement of their full potential. A child’s experience in the early years has a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right and it provides the foundation for children to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.’ Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage 2012 p 2 The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) applies to children from birth to the end of the reception year. Clifton Primary School firmly supports the Every Child Matters documentation. We believe all our children have the right to: • Be Healthy • Stay Safe • Enjoy and Achieve • Make a Positive Contribution • Achieve Economic Well- Being A Unique Child In the Foundation Stage we set realistic and challenging expectations that meet the needs of our children. We achieve this by: • Planning opportunities that build upon and extend children’s knowledge,

experience and interests and develop their self-esteem and confidence. • Using a wide range of teaching strategies based on children’s learning needs.

Providing a wide range of opportunities to motivate and support children and to help them to learn effectively.

• Providing a safe and supportive learning environment in which the contribution of all children is valued.

• Using resources which reflect diversity and are free from discrimination and stereotyping.

• Monitoring children’s progress and taking action to provide support as necessary.


The EYFS is made up of seven areas of learning: • Personal, Social and Emotional Development • Communication and Language • Physical Development • Literacy • Mathematics • Understanding the World • Expressive arts and design All of the areas of learning are delivered through a balance of adult led and child initiated activities. The curriculum is play based – children apply the skills and knowledge they are taught in their independent play. In each area there are Early Learning Goals that define the expectations for most children to reach by the end of the EYFS. Our whole school policy defines the features of effective learning and teaching in our school. Areas of particular relevance to the EYFS are: • The partnership between teachers and parents, so that our children feel secure at

school and develop a sense of well-being and the understanding that teachers have of how children develop and learn, and how this affects their teaching.

• The range of approaches used that provide first-hand experiences, give clear explanations, make appropriate interventions and extend and develop play and talk or other means of communication.

• The carefully planned curriculum that helps children work towards the Early Learning Goals throughout EYFS.

• Provision that is based on play, but that provides children with a wealth of opportunities to develop the basic skills of reading, writing, maths and speaking.

• The provision for children to take part in activities that build on and extend their interests and develop their intellectual, physical, social and emotional abilities.

• The encouragement for children to communicate and talk about their learning, and to develop independence and self-management.

• The support for learning with appropriate and accessible indoor and outdoor space, facilities and equipment.

• The identification of the progress and future learning needs of children through observations, which are shared with parents.

Through play our children explore and develop learning experiences, which help them make sense of the world. They practise and build up ideas, learn how to control themselves and understand the need for rules. They have the opportunity to think creatively alongside other children as well as on their own. They communicate with others as they investigate and solve problems.



Foundation and Core Subjects The primary school curriculum is divided up into core subjects and foundation subjects. The core subjects are Maths, English and Science. These provide the children with the essential ‘basic skills’. Foundation subjects including, Art, Design and Technology, Computing, Geography, History, and Modern Foreign Languages, allow the children to gain a rich breadth of knowledge across all subject areas.

The New Curriculum In September 2014, a new National Curriculum was introduced which outlines the essential skills and knowledge to be taught across all year groups at primary level. All core subjects have end of year expectations which outline the skills and knowledge that should be acquired by the children for them to be on-track comparatively with their peers nationally.

Clifton Primary School’s Challenge Curriculum Clifton Primary School has adopted an innovative Learning Challenge curriculum. This has been purposefully designed by our teachers and learners to ensure that children are given rich and diverse learning opportunities across all subject areas. The learning challenge concept is built around the principle of delivering a creative, broad curriculum that every child, regardless of ability, can access and be inspired by. Rather than being studied discretely, foundation subjects are taught around a central theme or question. This allows children to transfer knowledge and skills from one subject area to another, enriching and extending understanding.


Each topic starts with a simple question, such as ‘What would a journey through your body be like?’ as the starting point. From this, the teacher and learners create a series of investigative questions together, such as ‘How does the heart work?’ and ‘Why could we describe blood as the body’s river system?’ which then form the basis of the topic. Each learning challenge has a number of National Curriculum objectives linked to it to ensure appropriate coverage. It is against these objectives that our teachers assess each child and, as a consequence, are able to identify whether a child is working ‘towards’, ‘at’ or ‘above’ nationally expected levels. Each year group study between 2 and 4 learning challenges per term. The length of these can vary from between 3 weeks to half a term. This allows us greater flexibility to explore some topic areas in greater depth if they have particularly captured our children’s imagination and curiosity.


“We go on fantastic school trips that are great fun and help us to learn.”

“Class attendance awards make everyone want to be here every day.” “ipads, netbooks and beebots make our learning fun.”

“I love having targets ticked off in my books – it makes me feel proud.”


Inclusion Clifton Primary is an inclusive school where we focus on the well-being and progress of every child. We have high expectations of all our children. To ensure they achieve their potential we engage a range of strategies to issue challenge at an appropriate level, and provide support to overcome barriers to learning. Children with special educational needs are catered for within their own class and, where useful, may be withdrawn for short periods to work with a specialist adult, individually or in a small group. Similarly, children who are identified as gifted or talented, demonstrating a particular aptitude in a curriculum area, will be given opportunity to extend their learning in class, and may have opportunity to work on challenges outside the classroom. All children have equal access to the curriculum.

Equality At Clifton Primary we are committed to valuing diversity, tackling discrimination, promoting equality and fostering good relationships between people. We aim to provide an education which is sensitive to individual needs and accessible to all children regardless of special educational need, sexual orientation, sex, race, religion and belief, gender reassignment or disability. The school seeks to promote awareness, understanding and respect for diversity in our world. This is achieved through the celebration of special days and festivals; and the embedding of lessons learned through the achievements of individuals from diverse backgrounds across disciplines and through history.

Assessment and Reporting to Parents Regular assessments are made of each child's progress and these are used by teachers to plan the next steps in learning. Formal termly assessments are also conducted in English, Maths and Science, and the next steps in learning are shared with parents at termly parent/teacher meeting. In addition, parents receive a written Annual Report in the Summer Term which summarises their child's overall progress and attainment. Standard Assessment Tasks (SATs) in English and Maths are completed at the end of each Key Stage and these results are reported to parents.


Special Educational Needs (SEN) It is estimated that one in five children need extra support at some time in their school lives. The school aims to work in close partnership with parents in identifying any special needs and in developing a suitable programme to meet these needs. The SENCO at Clifton is Mrs Walker. If you wish to speak to her, please contact the school. Clifton Primary will collect all relevant information about your child from teachers and from anyone who has worked with your child in the past. Clifton Primary have a continuous process of assessment and monitoring all children. If your child is not making expected progress, they will be identified and may receive additional school support.

Disability Our school strives to be an inclusive school. We actively seek to remove the barriers to learning and participation that can hinder or exclude individual children or groups of children. We ensure that children with disabilities have the same opportunities as non-disabled children in order to benefit from the education our school provides. Despite the limitations of our building, we make all reasonable adjustments to ensure that a child or parent with disabilities is not placed at a disadvantage.

English as an additional language Clifton Primary School is an inner-city school serving a council housing estate close to the city centre of Kingston upon Hull. Approximately 55% of children are eligible for free school meals. We celebrate diversity in our school and most classes have children for whom English is an additional language, approx 49% of the population of the school. All children are individuals and have a curriculum which is tailored to their needs so that they can achieve their potential. Admission All admissions to school are handled by Hull City Council and an admission form is available from the Admissions Team at the council. Personal details are collected on the admission form. Once a place at our school has been offered you are invited to come for a visit. A tour of the school, meeting class teachers and seeing their classrooms all help to make children and their families feel more at ease.


Assessment All teachers at Clifton Primary School are well trained in teaching children for whom English is not their first language. Specialist trained EAL teaching assistants are employed who support all staff with work plans and resources. Strategy and Support Strategies and ideas are discussed and guidance is given to class teachers to enable the child to develop their language skills. These activities may be undertaken out of class in small groups/individually. Support will also be given within the main class. The amount of support given will depend on a child’s previous educational experiences and their competency in English. There needs to be a balance between withdrawing children for specific work and inclusion in lessons, where children ‘soak up’ language from their peers. Class teachers will be providing extra input within the classroom and have overall responsibility for the child’s achievement and access to the curriculum. All parties involved will liaise and discuss progress and targets half-termly or more frequently if necessary. Lessons across the Curriculum Shared, guided and independent group work, scaffolded appropriately, provide opportunities for children who have English as an Additional Language to hear good models of English, time to listen and learn as well as opportunities to practise English in a supportive environment. Group work provides opportunities to develop relationships and consolidate learning. Links and communication with families We aim to make links with all families throughout the school life of a child. To liaise effectively with the family it may be necessary to involve an interpreter or provide translations of information. The school has information available to support this process.


Emergency Contact It is important that the school has accurate information on home addresses and daytime telephone numbers, in case parents need to be contacted urgently. All parents are asked to provide a telephone number where either they, or a friend, can be contacted in the event of illness or accident. It is essential that the school office are informed immediately of any change of address or telephone number.

Attendance and Lateness On Time, Every Day. It is essential that children come to school every day and on time, as we know that good attendance leads to good progress. School starts from 8.45am. Children arriving after 8.55am will be recorded as late. The school has an Attendance Officer, Miss Williams, who works with our children and families to ensure all children are in school. Children are rewarded with weekly, monthly and yearly prizes for good attendance and punctuality. You must notify the school if your child is unable to come into school. If you fail to notify the school of your child’s first day of absence, Miss Williams will call the emergency contact to ascertain why your child is absent. If Miss Williams is unable to get in touch with you, the absence will be recorded as unauthorised. Persistent absence will result in a home visit and possible referral to our Educational Welfare Officer. If a child has to attend a medical appointment in school time, we ask that they attend school before and after their appointment. Children should not take a whole day off school to attend such an appointment. The school will not authorise any term time holidays.


Working with Parents Parents play a vital role in ensuring the success of their children and of Clifton and are strongly encouraged to become involved in the life of the school. Regular newsletters are sent out to inform parents of key events and dates and further information is always available on the school website. Parents can help by doing any of the following; • Reading at home • Ensure children are on time every day • Encourage good behaviour • Work with the school to build positive relationships • Help and encourage completion of homework

Friends of Clifton Every parent whose child joins our school is automatically a member of the “Friends of Clifton”. The FOC, led by Miss Williams, works hard to organise a range of social and fundraising events throughout the year and, in doing so, make an invaluable contribution to the life of the school. FOC meets regularly in school to organise events. There are many ways in which parents can help FOC, such as helping at fairs, discos and cake sales. All contributions are welcome.

School Dinners We pride ourselves in supplying our children with excellent food. We feel that it is one of the most important parts of a child’s life – to eat properly. Eating a healthy diet enables a child to live life to the full and supports a better performance all round, specifically helping with their concentration levels – which in turn affects achievement. We therefore encourage all our children to have a school dinner. We have a high uptake of school diners at our school. It’s good to know that our children are getting a well balanced and healthy school meal, cooked on site.

Families in receipt of specific benefits may be able to apply for free school meals, through Hull City Council. The form is available at the school office. If you do believe you are entitled to free school meals, the school encourages you to apply as the school receives extra funding for every child receiving a free school meal, which helps to enhance the range and scope of learning at Clifton. All children in FS2, Year one and two are entitled to a free school meal and the cost is 50p a day, thereafter. Children may bring in a packed lunch if they prefer and this should contain a balanced meal with no chocolate, sweets or fizzy drinks.


Religious Education and Collective Worship The school is not affiliated to a particular religious denomination. Religious Education teaching follows the guidelines of the Local authority’s Agreed Syllabus. The daily act of collective worship (assemblies) is non-denominational and although they are of a broadly Christian nature, due consideration is given to the multicultural society in which we live. Parents and carers have the right to withdraw their children from religious education and collective worship should they so wish. If parents and carers do not wish their child to be taught the agreed syllabus or take part in short acts of collective worship they should inform us in writing. Their child can be excused and suitable alternative arrangements made.

Sex Education Policy Sex education is taught within the context of PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education), following local authority guidelines, and the National Curriculum for Science. This part of the curriculum is generally taught by the class teacher, who will have built a relationship of trust and respect with the class. In upper Key Stage 2, the teaching of certain aspects of sex education will be supported by health professionals. As with all areas of the curriculum, parents and carers are welcome to come and talk to staff about the content of the sex education curriculum. Those with strong objections, particularly if related to a religious belief, have a right to withdraw their children from this part of the curriculum. Anyone who wishes to do so should contact the Headteacher so that alternative arrangements can be made.

Charging policy In order for some activities to take place parents and carers will be asked for a voluntary contribution to cover the cost. There is no obligation to contribute, but the activity may not be able to take place unless all parents and carers who can contribute do so. Anyone experiencing financial difficulties should contact the Headteacher in confidence, so that suitable arrangements can be made to cover the cost for those pupils. The Governors may charge parents/carers for losses and breakages to school equipment


“Everyone works together like a family.”

“People in school want us to be happy and do well – other children and adults help us.”

“At Clifton we learn new things every day.”


Behaviour in School It is a core aim of our school that every member of the school community feels valued and respected, and that each person is treated fairly and well. We pride ourselves on being a caring community, whose values are built on mutual trust and respect for all. The school’s Behaviour Policy is therefore designed to ensure all members of the school can live and work together in a happy, safe and secure way. Behaviour which shows lack of thought for other people is unacceptable. We will not tolerate any racist, sexist or other behaviour which is aimed at hurting another person or group of people. In the case of serious misbehaviour, the Headteacher will contact parents to discuss the matter. The Headteacher has the authority to exclude a child from school, either permanently or for a fixed period, if the child’s behaviour can no longer be contained within school.

Welfare An Educational Welfare Officer (EWO) works with Miss Williams, the attendance officer, to check on the attendance and punctuality of children, and to offer parents help and advice on matters concerning their children’s welfare. Miss Williams and the EWO can be contacted via the school office. The school also has an Emotional Wellbeing Worker who is always available to discuss any concerns of a pastoral nature with parents or children. She is available every morning on the KS1 playground or can be contacted through the school office at any time.

Medicines in School We cannot administer medication to a child unless it is prescribed by a doctor. If a child needs to take a prescribed medicine during the school day, their parent should take the medicine to the School Office and complete a brief form authorising the administrative staff to dispense the medicine to their child. All non-prescribed medicines need to be administered by a parent or carer, who are welcomed into school to do this.

Allergies The school should be made aware of any allergies or medical conditions from which a child may suffer.


Governors of Clifton Primary School The government made it compulsory for each school in England and Wales to have a governing body. The Governing Body is responsible for the overall leadership and management of the school and for ensuring that all those connected with it are working together to raise standards. The Governing Body has many responsibilities including: • Selecting and appointing the Head Teacher • Making sure that the school provides for all its pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities • Overseeing how the school uses its money and the upkeep of the buildings • Ensuring that the school complies with legislation • Promoting a high standard of educational achievement by monitoring school standards and ensuring a broad and balanced curriculum • Ensuring that parents receive statutory information • Ensuring fairness in disputes • Maintaining good relationships between the school and the community it serves • Acting as critical friend, supporting and challenging to drive school improvement The Governing Body has legal responsibilities and duties which it is held accountable for. Their effectiveness is inspected as part of an Ofsted inspection. The members of our Governing Body team are valued volunteers bringing together a wide variety of skills, experience and expertise for the benefit of our school. Our school has different types of governors to ensure a wide representation of views. Their term of office is usually for four years. The Governing Body meet as a full team once every term. There are also smaller committees that meet outside of the full Governing Body meetings to focus on specific areas of the school in more detail to then report back to the full Governing Body. Our Committees are: • Curriculum and Standards • Finance, Premises and People • Pay committee (reviews Performance Management of staff) • Discipline Committee


Named Governors also take a special interest in certain aspects of school life e.g. curriculum subjects, special educational needs, child protection and looked after children and all Governors are linked to specific phases within school. As part of their role they work with school staff to support, challenge and hold them to account.
