THE SCHOOL “THE SCHOOL IS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL LED AND MANAGED: CHARACTERISED BY VERY

EFFECTIVE TEAMWORK AT ALL LEVELS (OFSTED 2014)

Rumworth School is a co-educational secondary school for students aged 11 to 19. The school caters for

children with complex needs and moderate learning difficulties. There is a provision for children with Autistic

Spectrum Disorder. Students come mainly from the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, but some travel from

further afield. There are 186 students on roll.

Students who are admitted to the school in Year 7 take part in the induction programme which is designed to

ease transfer to Rumworth School. Students who are admitted at a later stage will be given any assistance

needed to help them settle in and make friends.

“Rumworth is an outstanding school which is extremely effective in meeting the complex and diverse

needs of its students” (Ofsted 2014).

THE CURRICULUM IS DESIGNED EXCEPTIONALLY WELL TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE DIVERSE

RANGE OF LEARNERS (OFSTED 2014)

The curriculum offer at Rumworth is personalised and is needs-led, meaning that we can create bespoke

learning opportunities for our students.

We believe that "Every child can do it, and we are here to help".

It is our mission to help all of our students to be as confident, as resilient and as independent as they can be.

We want our students to be literate and numerate, and we also help them to gain social skills, life skills and

skills for employability. As many of our students have additional needs in literacy and numeracy, we give extra

time on the timetable for these core subjects.

Every student also has a reading book, and will read regularly to an adult in their class team. The school has

been re-awarded the Basic Skills Agency Quality Mark in recognition of our commitment to improve the

literacy and numeracy skills of every student.

In KS3 all students follow a broad, balanced curriculum that covers the full range of National Curriculum:-

English

Maths

Science

Humanities - History, Geography and RE

Technology - Computer Studies, Food Technology, Resistant Materials Technology

Arts - Art, Performance (including Music, Dance and Drama)

all students also have Personal and Social Development lessons and PE lessons

Years 9 – 11 Careers guidance.

In KS4 and KS5, all students follow courses that lead to external accreditation at an appropriate level e.g.

GCSE, Entry Level, ASDAN, OCNWMR, BCS.


KS4 students all follow suitable external examination courses (GCSE or Entry Level equivalent) in:-

English

Maths

Science

RE

Computer Studies

Humanities option - students choose either History or Geography

Technology option - students choose Food Technology or Resistant Materals Technology

Arts option - students choose Art or Performance

All students also have Personal and Social Development lessons and PE lessons

Years 9 – 11 Careers guidance.

KS5 students continue to develop their Core Skills, and they follow suitable external examination courses

(GCSE or Entry Level equivalent):-

Functional Skills English - offered from Entry Level 1 up to Level 2

Functional Skills Maths - offered from Entry Level 1 up to Level 2

Preparation for Working Life - offered from Entry Level 1 up to Level 2

Personal and Social Development - offered from Entry Level 1 up to Level 2

Digital Skills - to be offered up to Level 1

KS5 students also make a series of choices for their Vocational and Creative Options, and these are externally

examined and accredited in a range of ways:-

Duke of Edinburgh Award - offered up to Silver Level

ASDAN Award - this includes Life Skills and Towards Independence, and is offered up to Silver Level

Arts Award - offered up to Silver Level

Vocational certification - to be offered up to Level 1 equivalent

Creative Arts certification - offered up to GCSE equivalent level

As part of our commitment to develop employability skills, all students in KS5 have access to on-site work

simulation opportunities in Catering and Horticulture, and internal work experience which we call

"insperience". External work experience is also available for KS5 students who are able to access this and this is

supported in a staged way dependent upon student needs. Some students will also access external providers

for a bespoke offer e.g. we have students studying Construction courses off-site, as well as Alternative

Curriculum Provision offers for students whose needs require a different approach.

Some of our students in all Key Stages access our Complex Needs provision for some or the majority of their

learning time. These students still follow a core curriculum offer, but this is delivered in smaller groups with

strategies to meet their particular ASD and Communication needs, and they may also join particular classes in

the main school with support.

Our school thrives on strong partnerships between all of our stakeholders. We are a community made up of

our students, their families, our staff, our governors and the wider team of support services who help and

support our students and their families within their communities. The International Quality Mark assessor

noted our "excellent relationships with external agencies" and OFSTED also think we have a fantastic way of

supporting our students. Last time OFSTED visited in 2014, they said that "students are exceptionally well

supported. Very strong relationships ensure students feel safe and know they have someone to turn to if they

need help". If you would like to read copies of our OFSTED reports, these are available online or on request

from the school office.


HEALTHY SCHOOLS PROGRAMME Rumworth School endeavours to provide a healthy environment for its students and staff. The school has again

been awarded the Healthy School Award (March 2014). Parents are informed and consulted through

newsletters and parent surveys. Rumworth has for many years been a smoke-free building. The student

council regularly discusses all aspects of being a healthy school. As well as the P.E. lessons, students have other

opportunities to exercise, including after-school swimming and football clubs, visits to Bolton Arena, Duke of

Edinburgh Award activities such as sailing, canoeing and walking, a weight training club and the annual

Rumathon. There is a dedicated football yard and a basketball net, as well as a Trim Trail, a Tyre Park and a

path for strolling with friends. Water is available for students to drink. All classes recycle paper and they are

encouraged in assemblies and PSHE lessons to recycle other materials and switch off lights and projectors. All

students have a timetabled PSHE lesson. The school is currently involved in the Healthy School Plus

programme and students are completing a questionnaire to determine a focus for the future.

The LDT support our Healthy Schools Programme by delivering aspects of Healthy Education to students

through 6 week blocks of work.

EQUALITY SCHEME Rumworth was successfully reassessed for the Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM) in 2014.

The Equality Policy includes Disability, Age and Gender, Race and Belief. A Community Cohesion Policy has

also been approved, as well as a Whistleblowing Policy. Copies are available from school and are also on the

Website. The equality scheme details how the school takes steps to maximise full inclusion in the life and

curriculum of the school, regardless of ability, age, gender, race or belief.

The school has a lift to every floor and a lift in the assembly hall so that all pupils can sit with their peers.

The school is fully accessible where required and appropriate personal care, including two newly refurbished

accessible hygiene suites are available. The scheme contains Action Plans which list the intentions of the school

with regard to enhancing the education of all our pupils.

“RUMWORTH IS A VERY INCLUSIVE SCHOOL. HOWEVER, OVER THE PAST YEAR THERE HAS

BEEN SOME REVIEW OF WHAT THIS MEANS, AND AS A CONSEQUENCE IT IS EVIDENT THAT

THE SCHOOL IS NOT STANDING STILL IN THIS AGENDA (IQM 2014)”

ADMISSIONS POLICY Rumworth School follows LA guidelines on admissions. The nature of the school population is undergoing

considerable change. Parents who request information on the LA Admissions Policy are asked to contact the

Special Educational Needs Manager, Paderborn House, Civic Centre, Bolton. Contact the INCLUSION AND

STATUTORY ASSESSMENT TEAM who will advise you. Tel: 01204 338612.

COMPLEX NEEDS PROVISION AT RUMWORTH The main purpose of this provision is to provide a low stimulus environment for those students with a

Complex Needs diagnosis who may require a more specialist provision. In each of the Complex Needs

classrooms every student has the opportunity to work in an individual work station and to learn in an

environment that is calm, uses visual strategies and appropriate levels of language.

However, each student will attend lessons with their year / key stage group depending on their ability to do so.

This is usually with the support of a Teaching Assistant, but again depends on the need of the individual

student. The Complex Needs provision also provides lessons in specialised areas that our students may need

support, such as social skills, independence activities, communication and visits within the local community. We

have a heavy focus on communication throughout all lessons, for some students this may include the use of

PECS and other communication devices.

The Complex Needs provision is fully equipped with computers, internet, Ipads, interactive whiteboards and

DVD facilities. Support is directed towards all students, although this support varies according to the individual

student’s needs. Each student will have their own individual timetable. If a student should find a particular

lesson difficult then strategies will be used with the student to help them manage their anxieties which may

result in a gradual inclusion to that subject area. Other agencies involved with the Complex Needs provision

include: Speech and Language Therapy, Social Services, Learning Disability Team, Occupational Therapy,

Medical Teams and the Connexions Careers Service. The frequency of this involvement depends on the need

of each individual student.

Strategies and interventions are introduced whilst students are being taught in the Complex Needs provision.

Once the student is confident with these approaches they are then able to transfer them to lessons within the

main part of school.


STUDENT VOICE

The views of the students at Rumworth School are taken very seriously. One of the main

ways of making their voice heard is through the Student Council which is an important part of

school life. It allows students to have a say in the decision-making process of the school.

In September, each form elects one representative who then attends regular meetings

chaired by an elected member of the council.

Concerns raised by students along with suggestions for improving the school are

discussed, and decisions are made or deferred

pending further research. Student Councillors then report back to

their forms and seek further feedback and suggestions.

The Student Council has a small annual budget. This may be used to

buy items for school which students have identified as being necessary

for the further improvement of the school.

Through the Student Council, certificates are awarded to those

students who have been chosen by their peers as deserving

recognition of improved effort, acts of kindness, better behaviour,

etc.

The Student Council plays an important role in the development of Citizenship in the curriculum. It has

gathered views from students on the ethos of the school and on rewards and sanctions and what constitutes

undesirable behaviour such as bullying.

The Student Council has also sought ideas from students on what constitutes effective teaching and how they

like to learn at Rumworth. The results were passed on to the staff. This has been done through both the

Council and the Healthy Schools Initiative.

All students have been consulted on both the Disability Equality Scheme and the Gender Equality Scheme and

their recommendations have been acted upon.

The Student Council has also taken part in the selection process of our Headteacher and other members of

teaching staff.

The Mayor of Bolton and the local MP have met the Student Council and talked about local and national

democracy.


CURRICULUM

Art

Art and Design is a unique subject. The study of Art gives students an opportunity to express themselves in a

highly personal way, saying something about themselves and the world they live in. The projects taught

throughout Key Stage 3 are aimed at giving students the basic skills and knowledge they will need to progress

into Key Stage 4 where they will be given the opportunity to gain GCSE accreditation. Students learn the

formal elements of Art and Design, such as shade, tone and colour theory, as well as studying artists from

different times and cultures. We strive to instil confidence in our student’s artistic and creative abilities and give

them the opportunity to experiment with materials in both two and three dimensions in a stimulating

environment.

In Key Stage 3 students also study the work of a variety of traditional and contemporary artists including Van

Gogh, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, using what they learn to influence and inspire their own design work.

The study of historical Art Movements such as Cubism, Pop Art and Futurism are also key to their learning and

Students will research these to gain a deeper understanding of the historical context of these movements and

what their main characteristics are.

The projects set throughout years 8 and 9 are aimed at further developing the skills learnt in year 7. Students

will also develop their sketchbook work and experience different techniques including some sculptural work.

In Key Stage 4 some students will follow the AQA exam board specification for GCSE Fine Art. The

coursework unit themes will vary from year to year but this year students are focussing on the work of

American artist Georgia O’Keeffe for their personal project. They will then be required to create a personal

response to a final project set by the exam board to complete their GCSE submission.

Design and Technology: Food

All Yr 7 –Yr9 pupils at Rumworth experience Food lessons, it is an option for those in KS4 and 5.

Pupils are taught how to cook food to make simple snacks to family meals which are based on the rules of

healthy living and lifestyles. They will understand the basic principles of nutrition and health, be able to plan

menus, choose from a selection of ingredients and use equipment safely. A wide range of skills are taught

depending on the age and ability of the pupils.

Pupils at KS4 access either ELC in Design Technology: Food or GCSE Food and Nutrition.

KS 5 students may access the Catering in the in new facilities, as well as continuing home cooking.

Design and Technology: Resistant Materials

Design and Technology Resistant Materials offers opportunities for students to develop their capability,

combining designing and practical making skills with knowledge and understanding in order to create quality

products.

It teaches students traditional skills and encourages them to be resourceful in their making activities.

Additionally, it provides excellent opportunities for students to develop and apply value judgements of an

aesthetic, economic, moral, social, and technical nature both in their own designing and when evaluating the

work of others.


Pupils currently follow the Design and Technology Resistant Materials course up to Entry Level, though we are

working towards offering GCSE accreditation in the future. The course leads pupils through a structured

research and design process, combining practical and technological skills to design and make functional

products. Computer aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) is an important element of the subject and we

have recently invested significantly in the department, including the purchase of a laser cutter to give pupils a

deeper understanding of modern manufacturing processes.

Throughout the course, pupils will learn about a variety of materials and their properties, using wood, metal

and plastics to create their own designed products, which could range from jewellery and children’s toys to

furniture and lighting. Design and Technology is a popular and valuable subject that develops students’ key skills

and their capacity for imaginative, innovative thinking, creativity and independence as well as giving them the

opportunity to take part in rewarding enterprise activities. In a wider context, by studying Resistant Materials,

they will learn about the impact that technology has on their own daily life and the wider world, teaching them

the importance of leading a sustainable lifestyle.

English

At Rumworth we are committed to ensuring that all our students receive an individually tailored curriculum to

suit their individual needs.

We aim to develop a love of learning and literature for self-development and to prepare our students for

future independence by equipping them with the functional literacy skills they need for life.

Our students follow a highly structured phonics reading scheme which helps them aim to become confident

and fluent readers.

Through a balanced, broad and engaging curriculum, we aim to deliver the skills and contents outlined in the

new National Curriculum.

At Key Stage 3, students study a range of fiction by classical and contemporary writers along with World

Seminal Literature. They will study non-fiction texts and a range of poetry. Students will be taught to write a

variety of fiction and non-fiction texts for different purposes and audiences and to write with accuracy.

Students are encouraged to develop their thinking skills to articulate their thoughts, feelings and ideas. We

encourage the use of speaking as a transitional vehicle for writing.

At Key stage 4, students will study an accredited course. We offer GCSE English; Entry Pathway at Entry 2 and

3 and Personal Progress at Entry 1.

We aim to offer our students a range of enriching extra-curricular activities, such as theatre visits, visiting

drama groups and participation in drama activities, including the Schools Shakespeare Festival.

French

Learning a foreign language gives pupils an insight and an opening

into other cultures. At Rumworth, the aim in French lessons is to

foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the

world.

Pupils are taught to express their ideas and thoughts in French

and to understand and respond to others, both in speech and in

writing. The focus is on practical communication.


Some of the topics covered in KS3 include:

Greetings

Weather

Numbers

Sport

Food and drink

In Key Stage 4 pupils work towards an Entry Level Certificate or Unit Award. They study three topics from the

themes:

My World

Holidays

Leisure

PSHE/Futures/Vocational Education and Careers

This curriculum area brings together personal, social and health education, work-related learning, careers,

enterprise, and financial capability. PSHE aims to provide our students with knowledge, understanding,

attitudes and practical skills to live healthy, safe, productive, fulfilled and responsible lives. Vocational

Education encourages students to be enterprising and supports them in making effective transitions, positive

learning and career choices and in managing their finances effectively. Futures lessons involve lots of group

discussion thus enabling students to reflect on and clarify their own values and attitudes. In Key Stage 4

students will have the opportunity to study a variety of units for examination ranging from:-

Personal Action Planning

Drugs Education

Sex and Relationship Education

Personal Finance

Emotional Wellbeing

Healthy Lifestyles

History

Welcome to your historical journey!

You will start your adventure looking at all the different ways History is studied. Have you ever wondered how

we look at the past? What tools do we use to help us? How do we dig stuff up and let's have a go! What are

the common words we use when looking at History? What about your past? What do you remember?

Then, we move on to exciting tales of conquering, castles and knights. Who was William the Conqueror? What

was the Battle of Hastings and why don't we all speak French?! Let's build our own castles and find out how

easy they are to attack and defend. Will you be Baristan the Bold or Walter the Weak?! Was it all feasts and

banquets in the Middle Ages or was there war, murder and terrible mystery diseases?

When you move to your second and third year at Rumworth, you will start to learn about the Tudors, Stuarts

and those clever Victorians. Would you like to sail to the New World? Can you do a Tudor dance? Was Tudor

food yucky or yummy? (you can try it for yourself) Do you dare meet Madame Guillotine?

Then, finally you will start to study for a qualification in History. It gets a bit more serious here, but no less fun.

You will learn to talk about topics and tell your classmates what you think. You will understand that people

might have different ideas and opinions and you will learn how to look at historical sources. Topics you'll learn

about include World War One, World War Two, The Nazis and the Holocaust, The Cuban Missile Crisis, The

Wild West and 1920's America.

Geography

Geography is the study of the earth and the environment around us.

The students will learn about the physical processes that shape the earth and the relationship between

humankind and the environment. They will explore the physical, social, cultural and economic process that

shape the world around us.

1. Physical landscapes of Britain.

2. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

3. Rivers: The shape of river valleys changes as rivers flow downstream.

4. Processes of erosion, transportation and deposition.

5. The coast and how it is shaped by a number of physical processes.

6. Tourism in the U.K. and Worldwide.


Information and Communication Technology

Creating a safe ICT learning environment

In ICT students learn how to locate, retrieve and exchange information using ICT. In delivering the curriculum,

teachers plan to integrate the use of communications technology such as web-based resources and e-mail.

Computer skills are vital to access life-long learning and employment; indeed ICT is now seen as an essential

life-skill. Students also learn about the science behind computing and how computers actually work.

Students at Rumworth School have access to a wide range of ICT technology and ever developing computer

systems. They have access to a huge resource via the internet and school intranet. ICT is a fundamental part of

learning in all subject area in the school and is used effectively as a tool to assist in this learning. Rumworth

School is also developing ways in which ICT can assist students with specific needs to access the curriculum via

the use of additional hardware and software.

Mathematics

All Rumworth pupils will access a Maths curriculum which is age appropriate and engaging; challenging and

creative and through ‘Assessment For Learning’, personalised to enable all pupils make outstanding progress.

Pupils are also given the opportunity to apply Maths skills to real life situations using the school’s superb on-site

facilities and a wide range of exciting enrichment opportunities.

The mathematics curriculum has been developed to best meet the needs of our pupils but covers many aspects

from the 2014 National Curriculum including:

Number and Algebra

Calculating

Knowing and Using Number Facts

Measure and Comparing

Properties of Shape

Position, Direction & Motion

Data and Statistics

Using & Applying

Challenging our pupils and celebrating their achievements is fundamental to our success. All pupils will be given

the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications ranging from NQF Entry Level 1 through to GCSEs.


Music

In key stage 3 you will discover a world of percussion; exploring and playing a wide variety of classroom

instruments. You will use class percussion instruments to accompany a variety of topics and to create your

own music. You will learn to use your voice in different ways and explore how the voice works, taking part in a

variety of singing workshops that will involve group, individual and part singing. You will have the opportunity

to experience singing as part of a mass choir and to listen to other young people sing at venues like the Bolton

Music Festival.

As part of your studies you will explore descriptive music and learn how musical elements are used to create

atmosphere and mood. Listening to the fascinating world of orchestral instruments will inspire and engage you,

you will learn about families of instruments and where they belong in the orchestra. You will watch a variety of

live performances from different genres both solo and group, enriching and further developing your knowledge

and understanding of the world of orchestral instruments.

You will explore a world of music ICT that will enable you to create interesting and exciting dance, popular

and classical music compositions. You will learn to play the Keyboard and read traditional music notation with

the support of simple theory based sessions. You will play a variety of tunes using class percussion and build

upon previous instrumental skills enabling you to perform solo and in a small ensemble.

Physical Education

Sport and physical activity is a high priority for all our young people. As well as offing opportunities when they

arise to represent our school on a wide range of sporting activities ranging from athletics to wheelchair

basketball we have developed a new PE opportunity from September 2015.

All Key Stage 3 and 4 students will go to Bolton Arena with support staff for the whole of a Tuesday afternoon.

(KS3 & 4 students will attend school in their sports gear all day Tuesday) During each afternoon students will

participate and learn the skills in two different sports led by qualified coaches at the Arena. The year will be

completed with a sports full day at the Arena. (This was held in July 2015 for the first time and was a great

success, our students said so!!)

KS5 will have opportunities to get involved in a range of activities led by a sport teacher. This will also include

activities leading to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Young people will be encouraged to look at physically

activities which are accessible from where they live to encourage a more active lifestyle outside school.

Religious Education

The school has no denominational affiliation. Religious Education is provided for all students to meet the

requirements of the National Curriculum. The emphasis is on respect for, and the celebration of the six major

world religions.

The school also holds non-denominational acts of worship. Parents have the right to withdraw their children

from Religious Education or worship, and where this is requested arrangements will be made. It has been

found, however, that parents are eager for their children to participate in both aspects of school life. The

scheme of work for Religious Education is available should parents wish to see it.

parents each week.


SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS EDUCATION

Sex and Relationships Education is an important part of any student’s preparation for adult life and should be

set within a clear framework of values. At Rumworth School it is a major part of the school’s Futures

(Personal, Social and Health Education) programme. It includes relevant work on attitudes, family and personal

relationships and social, spiritual, cultural and moral issues. Sex and Relationships Education at Rumworth

School aims to support young people in managing adolescence and preparing them for adult life.

Our young people may need more help than others in coping with the physical, emotional and moral aspects of

growing up, and in learning which types of behaviour are acceptable, and which are not. Care will be taken to

match the sex and relationships education provided to the age and understanding of the students involved.

Where appropriate, outside agencies may be invited to the school to assist in certain sex and relationships

education lessons.

As well as providing balanced and factual information about human reproduction and behaviour, in compliance

with legal duties, sex and relationships education must include education about H.I.V., Aids and sexually

transmitted diseases. Pupils also receive additional input relating to aspects of Sex and Relationships Education

from LDT.

For further details about the Sex and Relationships Education at Rumworth School, please contact school and

we shall be pleased to give you the programme of study.

The Education Act of 1993 gives parents or carers the right to withdraw students from any or all parts of a

school’s programme of Sex and Relationships Education, apart from the topics of human development and

reproduction as contained in the National Curriculum Science Order. Should parents wish to exercise this

right or discuss issues, please contact the Head Teacher. Staff will always endeavour to offer appropriate

support and information.

CURRICULUM ENRICHMENT Clubs

Weekly after school activities include a swimming club, a weight-training club, a Wrestling Club at Smithills

Club School and sessions at Bolton Arena. Other clubs which are run at lunchtime are the Wii Club, Dance

Club, Guitar Club, ICT Clubs, the Girls’ Group Club, the DVD Club, Ipad/Library Club and the Activities Club.

The football club is on every day of the school week at lunchtimes.

Bolton Lads and Girls Club is also attended by some of our students after school.

We have also recently introduced ‘Youth Clubs’ for both boys and girls and a film club (supported by Breaking

Barriers) run by school staff, which all take place after school.

Visits

Students enjoy a rich programme of educational visits throughout the school year, both in Bolton and the

wider area. Many curriculum areas arrange visits which enhance the subject matter and engage students’

interests further. Visits to local churches, mosques and Hindu temples are a feature of the RE curriculum.

Students and staff attend the Holocaust Memorial Service in Bolton to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

The Complex Needs provision provides communication based visits on Friday mornings. This could be to a

cafe/shops, etc. and students ask for specific items in differentiated ways, i.e. PECS strip/one symbol exchange

or by communicating in full sentences. Other examples include Haigh Hall, Bolton Museum, Moses Gate Park,

Moss Bank Park, the Museum of Science and Industry and the People’s History Museum.

Trips to Space in Preston for students with physical and emotional difficulties have proved popular and

beneficial. The school also invites Zoo Lab to show the students real live animals! Teachers from schools in

Europe have visited the school, bringing a fresh outlook on European culture and education.

Where out of school visits take place during the school day, parents/carers will be informed either by letter or

in the students’ diaries. When any visits take place partly or wholly outside the school day (including those

which may start during the school day) signed permission will be requested from parents/carers.

In 2015/16 we will also be taking students on a French trip, a skiing trip to Italy and a week in the Lake District.

All students in Years 7 – 11 follow an Outdoor Education Programme (including walking, canoeing, cycling and

climbing) on a rota basis.

The Arts at Rumworth

Rumworth students participate in the Shakespeare Schools Festival each year; last year performing Macbeth at

Manchester contact Theatre and this year Romeo and Juliet at Bolton Octagon Theatre. We have a school

production each year.

Productions have included Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins and The Lion,

The Witch and The Wardrobe. GCSE English students visit local theatres such as Bolton Octagon and The

Lowry Theatre at Salford to reinforce their studies. Furthermore we have a number of visiting theatres

perform at school.

Rumworth have a school folk group where a number of students learn the guitar and sing, performing in

assemblies and musical events.


COMMUNITY LINKS

Rumworth School believes that positive relations between parents, students and the school help to make the

school successful. Links with parents take many forms and information is given via Education Health Care

Plans, curriculum reports, half-termly newsletters, the home/school diary and parents’ evenings.

“Partnerships with other professionals and with parents are exceptional and contribute much to pupils’ well-being and

progress” (Ofsted, 2014).

Rumworth School Community Group (RSCG) is a vital part of the school, raising money to provide resources

which enhance learning opportunities. The RSCG also provides opportunities for parents to meet on a social

basis where they can get to know each other, discuss concerns and share information. Details about RSCG

activities are sent to parents, along with an open invitation to attend the meetings each term. Students, parents

and carers really enjoy coming along to events held at school, including discos, school productions,

presentation assemblies and the popular Summer Fair.

Rumworth School is also grateful to parents, carers and other voluntary helpers for giving up their time to

support students. They have helped host ‘mock interviews’ for our students in sixth form, helping them to

develop and practice valuable interview skills.


Community links are strengthened through access to Work Experience in the local community. Rumworth

School acknowledges and thanks local firms, schools, nurseries and Bolton Community College for the

tremendous support and goodwill shown to its students.

Rumworth School is fortunate in having strong links with local businesses and charities.

In addition to local links, Rumworth School has for the past fourteen years had links with schools and colleges

in Europe and throughout the world.

The school is proud to have gained the International School Award for the international dimension of its

curriculum.

The school hosts conferences and meetings (often catered for by our Bistro students!), sharing good practice

which encompasses the entire range of educational issues.


PASTORAL SUPPORT

Rumworth School provides an environment which helps to make students feel secure. Teaching styles are

adapted to enable the students to feel and to be successful. Counselling and support are given to those with

emotional or behavioural difficulties or with specific physical or learning problems.

“The school’s work to keep pupils safe and secure is outstanding” (Ofsted 2014). “Parent’s are overwhelmingly

supportive of school, one saying, “The only disappointing thing about school is that my child will have to leave one day”

(Ofsted 2014).

Staff at Rumworth place great emphasis on the emotional welfare and well-being of all students. The social,

emotional and behaviour needs of students are met through a variety of interventions to promote inclusion for

all. Initially, all students are supported pastorally by their form staff, who will also liaise with parents and carers

regarding any issues which may arise.

“A Safe secure and highly effective pastoral system providing pupils with the confidence to always do their best” (IQM

Assessment Report 2014).

Students with more complex or identified additional needs will be supported by specialist pastoral support staff.

Support may be offered in small group or individual sessions and can focus on areas such as Feelings/Emotions,

Anger Management, Bereavement, Friendships, Relationships, Healthy Living and choices. Confidence, Self-

Esteem and Personal Safety.

“There is excellent provision to meet the needs of vulnerable pupils, including those with additional needs” (OFSTED

2014).

“There are outstanding links with parents and other professionals to support this work.” (OFSTED 2014).

The Governors’ Pastoral Committee supports the school in its caring attitude and works closely with the

Director of Pastoral Support.

The school has close contacts with the Educational Psychological Service who work with the staff in assessing

and planning for those students with particular difficulties.

A Speech and Language Therapy Team is also allocated to the school to work with children requiring speech

therapy. There is a School Nurse on site at various times in the week, and the school's First Aiders deal with

any minor ailments. The School Doctor conducts health checks for those students who need it.

“Partnership with other professionals and parents are outstanding, parents cannot speak too highly of how the school

ensures that every child matters”. (Ofsted 2014).

Attendance

“THE ATTENDANCE OF PUPILS IS OUTSTANDING; THEY DO NOT LIKE STAYING AWAY FROM

SCHOOL” (OFSTED 2014).

At the end of July 2015, there were 108 students in Y7 to Y11.

The percentage of half days missed through authorised absence was 5.10%

The percentage of half days missed through unauthorised absence was 0.1%

The school will authorise those absences which are unavoidable, such as illness. Parents will be contacted on

the first day of their child’s absence. Parents should telephone or send a note to school explaining any

absences. Requests for absence from school should be made by letter, and the school will inform parents if

such absences will be authorised. Rumworth School does not look favourably on holidays taken during term-

time, unless the circumstances are exceptional. Students’ progress is often determined by their level of

attendance at school. Good attendance is considered as very important, and certificates are awarded to those

students who show high levels of attendance.


Physical intervention: Team-Teach

Rumworth aims to have an orderly environment in which safety is paramount. In Bolton’s special schools there

are a few students whose needs are such that they need to be “positively handled” by staff for their own safety

and the safety of other students and staff. All staff have undergone training in physical intervention and two

staff are trained tutors. Students are treated with dignity and respect in all situations and physical intervention

is only used as a last resort. If a student requires any form of physical intervention families will be informed

through an incident monitoring sheet. If you require further information about the school’s policy, please

phone school and/or look at the website: www.team-teach.co.uk

Child Protection

The LA has procedures relating to child protection, and it is the responsibility of all staff within school to

protect the children and prevent exploitation and abuse. Children have the right to be listened to, valued,

respected and protected from harm. The procedure for dealing with child abuse is not a matter for the

discretion of the Headteacher or any other member of staff. In every instance, guidelines set down by the LA

will be followed. Staff have received Level 1training in safeguarding and this is updated every three years.

School has a Designated and a deputy designated member of staff for Safeguarding and Child Protection.

Signing in and out of school

Students who arrive late at school should report to Mrs Davies (Receptionist), giving the reason for their

lateness. If they fail to do this, the school cannot guarantee a dinner for latecomers. Any students leaving the

premises during the day must have permission from staff, and should sign out on INVENTRY. They should

then sign in if they return to school. These procedures are vital if the school is to protect students in the

event of, say, a fire.

Personal property

Students must not bring items such as MP3 players, games, toys, etc. to school. Cigarettes, matches, illegal

drugs, lighters, knives and any kind of weapon are totally forbidden. Designated staff have the authority to

search students if it is considered necessary. All items of value, including watches, mobile phones and money

are the responsibility of the owner. Mobile phones must be switched off during the day, and handed in to the

office for safe-keeping. If a student switches on their mobile phone during the day, it will be confiscated. Staff

are not responsible for the safe-keeping of students’ property. Students should not bring chewing gum to

school or wear make-up and jewellery. A stud in each ear lobe is permitted. Parents are requested to read

the school’s policies on Ethos, Behaviour and Attendance Policy and also Valuables in School for further details.

You can find them on the School website or ask school for a copy.

School dinners

Students may bring a packed lunch to school or buy a school dinner. A choice of meals is available. Dinner

money (£2.35 per day, £11.75 per week) is collected on Monday mornings. Special diets can be provided if

parents or doctors request it.

ETHOS AND DISCIPLINE

“PUPILS BEHAVIOUR IS OUTSTANDING.” (OFSTED 2014)

Staff and students have an agreed Code of Conduct to which everyone is expected to adhere. The school

rules are mainly concerned with safety and the maintenance of good behaviour and mutual respect.

The school believes that students respond best to encouragement and praise. House points are awarded to

students for fulfilling certain targets, and small rewards are given to those students who gain the requisite

amount of points. The Sixth Form have a system of lottery points, awarded for similar reasons. Special

Mention and Extra Special Mention Certificates awarded by the Student Council are presented regularly to

those students who have made a marked improvement or completed a task that was difficult for them. Staff

have high expectations of students’ effort and behaviour, and everyone is encouraged to contribute towards

the building of an orderly community.

Minor breaches of discipline are dealt with by the imposition of extra work and the loss of free time. Other

cases of misbehaviour may incur a detention after school. Parents will always be informed about the detention

24 hours in advance, or may make special arrangements with the school if it is deemed necessary to hold the

detention on the same day.

In cases of more serious, unacceptable behaviour students are placed on a structured programme of behaviour

management led by the form tutor and a senior member of staff. On rare occasions the Headteacher will ask

the parents to visit the school to discuss very serious cases of misbehaviour. Only as a last resort, after

parents have been involved and all other methods have been tried, will students be excluded from school.

Parents will be given the necessary information should this occur.

A copy of the Ethos, Behaviour and Attendance policy is available from the school and on the

School website.

“SPIRITUAL, MORAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT IS OF THE HIGHEST

ORDER. (PUPILS) ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO THE NEEDS OF THEIR PEERS” (OFSTED 2014).

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

“EXCELLENT EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY IS EVIDENCED IN THE EXCEPTIONAL PROGRESS OF

ALL STUDENTS AND HOW HARMONIOUSLY STUDENTS GET ON WITH EACH OTHER.”

(OFSTED 2014)

All students at Rumworth School are treated equally, regardless of race, colour, creed or gender. Issues such

as bullying and racism are dealt with in PSHE lessons and as whole school assembly themes. Incidents of

bullying and racial abuse are treated with the utmost seriousness. All students are aware that they must report

any incidents to a member of staff who will keep a record and take appropriate steps to deal with them.

One of Rumworth's three strategic priorities is Achievement for All. Rumworth is therefore committed to

providing access to all areas for its diverse population of students. Lifts, ramps and toilet facilities ensure

access to the school for all pupils.

The school has conducted consultations with all interested bodies on both Disability Equality and Gender

Equality and has published an Equality Scheme. We invite parents to inform us of any ways in which we can

improve access to and around the school for those with disabilities.


SCHOOL RECORDS

The School's Governors have delegated the day to day responsibility for the maintenance of records on

students to the Headteacher. Parents or guardians have the right of access to records on their own children.

A statement of the arrangements is available at the school.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF STUDENTS

From time to time we will display students’ achievements accompanied by photographs of the students around

the school. Photographs of students and their achievements may also appear on the school website or ion the

local press or other publicity. If parents have any objections to their child’s photograph being used for these

purposes, or if they would simply like to have their child’s name removed, they should contact the school so

that such an objection may be recorded and made known to all relevant parties.

COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE Raising Concerns and Resolving Complaints

From time to time, parents and others connected with the school will become aware of matters which cause

them concern. To encourage solutions of such situations the Governing Body has adopted a “General

Complaints Procedure”.

The procedure is devised with the intention that it will:

Usually be possible to resolve problems by informal means

Be simple to use and understand

Be non-adversarial

Provide confidentiality

Allow problems to be handled swiftly

Address all the points at issue

Inform future practice so that the problem is unlikely to recur.

Full details of the procedure may be obtained from the School Office or from the Clerk to the Governing

Body.


CHARGING AND REMISSIONS POLICY

Introduction

The objectives of the charging provisions in the Education Reform Act 1988 are:

1. to maintain the right to free school education.

2. to establish that activities offered wholly or mainly during normal teaching time should be available to

all students regardless of their parents/families ability or willingness to help meet the cost.

3. to emphasise that there is no statutory requirement to charge for any form of education or related

activity, but to give LAs and schools the discretion to charge for optional activities provided wholly or

mainly out of school hours.

4. to confirm the right of LAs and schools to invite voluntary contributions for the benefit of the school,

or in support of any activity organised by the school, whether during or outside school hours.

The school’s policy is in line with the LA’s policy and follows national guidelines.

Education during school hours

Education provided by the school during school hours is free of charge. (School hours are those hours when

the school is actually in session and do not include the break in the middle of the school day).

The school may, however, invite voluntary contributions for the benefit of the school or in support of any

activity organised by the school. The terms of any request to parents to make voluntary contributions will

make it clear that:

1. there is no obligation to contribute.

2. students will not be treated differently according to whether their parents/families have made a

contribution in response to the request.

(If the number of places available for a particular activity is limited, the school will decide which students should

be given the opportunity to participate without reference to parents/families willingness or ability to make a

voluntary contribution towards the cost).

Education outside school hours

Charges may be made for education which falls outside school hours and is not:

1. required as part of the syllabus for a prescribed public examination.

2. provided specifically to fulfil statutory duties relating to the national curriculum or to religious

education.

3. Participation in such activities, i.e. “optional extras”, will be on the basis of parental preference and a

willingness to pay the charges made. The agreement of individual parents/families will therefore be a

necessary pre-requisite for the provision of an optional extra for which charges are to be made.

Residential visits: board and lodging

Where a school activity involves students in nights away from home, a charge may be made for board and

lodging in all cases, whether or not the activity is deemed to have taken place in school hours. No charges for

board and lodging will be made where a student whose parents are in receipt of Income Support or Family


Credit takes part in a residential visit in school hours or outside school hours, however a contribution may be

requested.

Charges for materials

The school will provide or pay for any ingredients, materials, equipment, etc. which are needed for practical

subjects such as Food Technology and Resistant Materials. Parents or students may, however, contribute to

these on a voluntary basis and the school may charge for, or require the supply of, ingredients and materials, if

parents have indicated in advance their wish to own the finished product.

A charge may be made in all cases where parents indicate in advance that they wish to own the finished

product in subjects such as Food Technology and Resistant Materials.

Breakages and damage to school property

School will ask parents/families/students to make a contribution towards the cost of replacements and repairs

where this is the result of a student’s behaviour, or where the damage is deliberate.

Lost property

School will ask parents/students to make a contribution towards the cost of the replacement of school

property lost by students. If the item is later found, the money will be refunded.

Conclusion

The school would not wish to see any child unable to participate in any activity because of family hardship or

unwillingness on the part of the parents to pay. When arranging a chargeable activity, therefore, parents

should always feel able to approach the school, in confidence, for the remission of charges in part or in full.

OTHER SCHOOL POLICIES

There are a number of policies on the school website. If you cannot find what you are looking for please
