Welcome from the Governing Body

Dear Parent / Guardian

On behalf of the staff and governors I would like to welcome you and your child to Ludlow Junior

School. As a parent I know that changing schools can be unsettling for both you and your child:

let me reassure you that I have every confidence that the school team here at Ludlow will do

everything we can to help and support you in settling your child into our learning community.

We are all proud of our school and, more importantly, proud of the children who attend. The

school team work very hard to improve the standards of learning across the whole school, and we

pride ourselves in working well with parents and the local community. We also work with another

local “Outstanding” school to share best practices and improve. The success of this approach is

shown in OFSTED’s comments when they inspected Ludlow Junior School in January 2012. They

said that ‘Classrooms have a very positive climate for learning, attendance is above average,

and the school is a cohesive learning community’.

Overall, the school was graded as ‘Good with Outstanding Features’ by OFSTED. Importantly, this

has given the school team and governors reinforced enthusiasm to improve further. Over 90% of

lessons are now Good or Outstanding – and we are not content to stop there. This drive for

continued improvement is shared by the children and staff alike, as OFSTED recognised,

commenting that ‘The ambition to improve is embedded at all levels within the school’.

This means of course that your son or daughter will enjoy excellent lessons, in a caring and friendly

environment. They will be treated as an individual. Their own unique needs will be met, and their

own unique talents nurtured and encouraged. They will feel and be safe, and will have a real

sense of belonging to a vibrant and exciting community.

We really welcome you to visit the school at any time. You will of course have formal opportunities

to meet with the teaching team and governors, for example by attending Open Evenings.

Any comments you have on how to improve the school and shape our future are also very

welcome. If you would like to contact the Governing Body directly then please contact school

reception for further details or to arrange an appointment.

If you are interested in becoming more actively involved with the school, why not consider

contacting the school office to see what you could offer. Parents are also welcome to join the

Governing Body: as vacancies arise these will be advertised in school.

We really hope your child will enjoy their time at the school and that our belief in creating a

secure and positive environment will help your child reach their full potential.

Jo Clark Chair of Governors

Welcome from the Senior Team

Dear Parents,

We are delighted to welcome you to the vibrant and thriving learning community at Ludlow

Junior School. Over the past 4 years we have been on an exciting journey which has seen the

school progress from being judged as satisfactory in 2009 by inspectors, to good with outstanding

features in January 2012. This is attributable to the work of the whole of our team and the support

we receive from our wider community. Along with governors we are striving to achieve an

outstanding judgement from Ofsted by 2016.

As your child joins our community they will meet a staff team which is determined to provide the

very best for every child, and to create an environment in which they can flourish. Lessons are

typified by lots of active learning and pupils are encouraged to assess their own achievements

and those of their peers. All of our staff are supported by a coaching and development

programme which is designed to help them regularly reflect on pupils’ learning and developing

needs.

We are continually reviewing our curriculum and aim to provide a curriculum experience which is

broad, challenging and rich. We value off site visits for the contribution which they can make to

learning and personal development. We have a strong history in performing locally and nationally

in music and sporting events and feel that children can really excel in competitive situations when

representing the school.

As a large school we set ourselves the challenge of making learning as personalised as possible.

We will try to establish close relationships with all of our families as we know that strong

partnerships are a great foundation for successful learning. At the start of the day you should

always find a number of staff on the playground, including members of the senior team. At the

end of the day all of the teaching staff and support staff will come out to the playground with the

children. By doing this we hope to provide daily opportunities for you to meet with us and talk

about your child. Our policy is very open door and we will aim to provide appointments for formal

meetings as quickly as possible.

As a school we are supported by a Friends team who work incredibly hard to take our work

forwards. Please consider joining the Friends as you are bound to be able to make a contribution.

You do not have to volunteer to join a committee, you can just volunteer to help at events during

the year. Please think carefully about the important role that the Friends team plays and what you

could do to help them/us.

We hope that you will find our new school brochure helpful and informative and that it provides a

useful guide to school life for you. We are sure that your child will thrive in our learning community

and that you will come to feel like a familiar member of a very large ‘extended family’ at Ludlow

Junior School.

Admissions

Ludlow Junior School, as an Academy Trust is its own admissions authority. All admissions are

covered by the following policy. If there are more applications than places available, the criteria

set out in the policy will be used to determine admissions.

Introductory Notes We have a limit of 150 places available in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6.

This gives us a planned maximum of 150 pupils in each year group and a school capacity figure of

600 pupils.

The precise boundaries of the catchment area are available from the school office, our website

and the Local Authority Admissions and Exclusions Officer.

If the school has reached its admission limit for the year group applied for, you may ask for your

child’s name to be placed on a waiting list.

The governing body is the admission authority for Ludlow Junior School. As required in the School

Admissions Code the governing body will consider all preferences at the same time for September

2014 admissions.

Parents may express up to three (3) preferences for junior schools only, listing them in the order in

which they would accept them. All preferences will be considered and where more than one

school place could be offered, the parents will be offered a place for their child at the higher

ranked of the schools that could be offered.

Children with statements of special educational needs (SEN) that name the

school Children with statements of special educational needs that name the school must be admitted

school under the Education Act 1996 and with regard to the SEN Code of Practice. These children

will be admitted to the school even if it is full and are therefore outside the normal admission

arrangements. As required by the Code these children will count as part of the Published

Admission Number (PAN) for the school.

Oversubscription criteria Applications submitted by 15 January 2014 will be dealt with first. If the number of applications

received by 15 January 2014 is greater than the admission limit, admissions will be decided

according to the following priorities:

1. Children in public care (looked after children) and previously looked after children as

defined in paragraph 1.7 of the School Admissions Code 2012.

2. Children subject to a child protection plan or deemed to be vulnerable by the Senior

Officer with responsibility for safeguarding in Southampton City Council.

3. Children who have a brother or sister already on the roll of the Ludlow Junior School who

will continue to attend the school for the following year. (This includes children living as

siblings in the same family unit.). A sibling at the linked infant school (Ludlow Infant

Academy) will count as a sibling at Ludlow Junior School. A sibling is defined as a brother or

sister including half, step, or foster or adoptive brother or sister, living within the same family

unit at the same address.

13

4. Children who live within the school's designated catchment area and whose parents have

satisfied the governing body that their child has a significant medical or psychological

condition which means they must attend Ludlow Junior School rather than any other.

Applications must be supported by appropriate written evidence from a doctor or

psychologist.

5. Children who live within the school’s designated catchment area and who are attending

the linked infant school at the time of application. This criterion applies only at the time of

transfer from year 2 to year 3 and until the end of the first term of junior school. After that

time previous attendance at the linked infant school gives no priority to an application for

a place at the Ludlow Junior School.

6. Children who live within the school's designated catchment area. The “designated

catchment area” for the school is the area set out in the definitive catchment area map

for the school. This map is held by the school. A schedule of addresses, to be read in

conjunction with the map, is also available.

If the school is oversubscribed from within criteria 1-6, priority (iii), as set out at 7 below, will be used

to determine which children will be offered places.

7. Children who live outside the school’s designated catchment area, in the following order:

(i) Children whose parents have satisfied the governing body that their child has a significant

medical or psychological condition which means they must attend Ludlow Junior

School rather than any other. Applications must be supported by appropriate written

evidence from a doctor or psychologist.

(ii) Children attending the designated catchment infant school (Ludlow Infant Academy).

(iii) Children who live closest to the school based on the shortest practicable walking distance

using public roads and footpaths. Distances are measured from home to school.

Distances from home to school are measured as shortest walking distances. These are

calculated using a computerised mapping system that uses data supplied by

Ordnance Survey. Distances are measured from the point designated in the system as

the home address to the point designated in the system as the mid-point of the nearest

open gate to the school, using public roads and footpaths.

Should the school be oversubscribed from within any of the criteria 7(i) to 7(ii) above, then

distance as defined in 7(iii) will be used to prioritise applications within these categories. Should

there be two or more identical distances requiring prioritisation, this will be done by casting lots.

Late applications If the school has places available after admitting all on-time applications, late applications will be

considered in accordance with the priorities set out above.

Waiting lists If a place cannot be offered at Ludlow Junior School, children will automatically be placed on

the waiting list for the school. If places become available, children on the waiting list will

automatically be offered them according to the priorities set out above.

The length of time on the waiting list cannot be taken into account. Unsuccessful late applications

will be treated in the same way as unsuccessful on time applications and placed on the waiting

list according to the priorities set out above.

14

Visiting the School We recommend that you visit the school before deciding whether to register. You will be more

than welcome. Please call in to arrange an appointment that is convenient to you.

Library

Admission Arrangements When pupils are joining us in Year 3 we endeavour to provide a structured induction experience

for them. For pupils who join from Ludlow Infants and Woolston Infants will involve:

Meeting Year 3 staff in their Year 2 classrooms

Phased visits to the Year 3 classrooms

Some time working in groups with the Year 3 staff

A range of dates will be passed to all prospective parents close to Easter 2014.

Appeals If parents remain unsuccessful, but still wish to secure a place for their child, they have the right to

appeal to an independent appeals panel. Administration staff (in the school office) will explain

this procedure to parents on request.

15

Transport

Parents' vehicles are not permitted onto the school site at any time without prior agreement.

Particular care is necessary if you bring your children to school or collect them by car. Please pull

up and/or park with extreme care and attention to the safety of all children, both yours and

others. Young children do not always think before acting and their lives may be at risk. Parents

should note that the areas directly adjacent to the playground entrances in Ludlow and Bishops

Road are often very congested and we would not recommend using this area at the start or end

of the day. Parking on the yellow zig-zags is prohibited at all times – not just 0900-1530. This is a

parking offence and police officers and our own local PCSO’s regularly patrol the area.

At present the governors do not believe that the school’s catchment area is outside the two miles

limit which would attract free transport for pupils. However, if you do believe that you may qualify

please contact the school.

The School Day

We want to care for your child and see that they are properly supervised on the school site. The

Site Manager will open the main school gates at 8.40am. We ask that no child arrives before this

time. The school whistle will be blown at 8.50am and children are encouraged to come into

school at this time where they will be welcomed into their classroom by their teacher. Teachers

should always escort the pupils onto the playground at the end of the school day when they will

be available for parent contact. We ask that children are collected promptly at home time.

The school sessions are as follows:

Lower Phase (Year 3 & 4)

9:00am – 12:35pm Morning Session

10:45am – 11:10am Break Time

1:20pm – 3:20pm Afternoon Session

Upper Phase (Year 5 & 6)

9:00am – 12:20pm Morning Session

10:15am – 10:40am Break Time

1:05pm – 3:20pm Afternoon Session

The school office is open from 8:00am until 5:00pm

If you wish to speak to a teacher before school you will need to call into reception from 8.00am to

check for availability and/or make an appointment. All teachers can also be found on the

playground at the end of the day.

Mid-Morning Healthy Snack Initiative The healthy snack initiative has proved to be successful and we encourage pupils to bring a

healthy style snack to enjoy at break time. Please ask us if you are unsure if a snack would meet

our healthy criteria.

Lunchtime During lunchtime children may:

Have a school lunch

Bring a packed lunch

Go home to lunch

16

All children staying at school at lunchtime will be supervised by the lunchtime supervisors.

School Lunches

Lunches are prepared by City Caterers in Beechwood Junior School and served from our own

servery. They conform to very high standards set by the Government and are excellent value.

The emphasis is on healthy eating. There is always a choice of main course and dessert. A meat

and vegetarian option is offered daily. If your child has special dietary requirements please let us

know.

Payment for a week’s meals should be sent on Mondays, if specific days then please indicate.

Cheques should be made payable to ‘Ludlow Junior School’. Cash can only be accepted in a

clearly marked, sealed envelope. Our preferred method of payment is via an online payment

system – see page 21. Please send the correct amount as we are unable to give change. From

September 2013 the charge for school meals will be £1.95 per day, £9.75 per week (this is subject

to any price increases made by SCC).

Packed lunches may be brought to school but only in named, unbreakable containers. Water

may also be brought for lunch and also for drinking during class lessons, but only in clear

unbreakable containers with a base diameter of less than 7 centimetres so it fits the drink tray.

Fizzy and flavoured water are not permitted. Filtered water is available throughout the school.

Children are encouraged to drink water regularly throughout the day.

If you think that your child may be entitled to a free school lunch please ask at the school office.

We are happy to advise parents of their entitlement, or you can access the information on the

school website. If you would like to speak confidentiality about this, please phone or call to speak

to Ms Goodleff. Applications for free school meals are the responsibility of the parent and must be

made each term.

Two points of safety:

Pupils will not be allowed to leave the school site at lunchtime unless they are going home to

lunch. We ask that parents notify us of any change of their child’s lunchtime arrangements.

Please make sure that no glass bottles or hot drinks/soups are sent to school.

School Playground

17

School Uniform

At Ludlow Junior School we aim to foster a feeling of community within our school.

We prefer all children to wear school uniform. We believe that it is smart, it gives the school an

identity and it gives the child a sense of belonging.

We know that the majority of our parents want their children to wear school uniform and we hope

that all parents will support our dress code.

Our school uniform is maroon, blue and grey as follows:

Shirts & Blouses Blue

Trousers or Shorts Grey or Black

Skirts and Pinafore Dresses Grey or Black

Summer Dresses Blue/White

Jumpers/Fleeces Maroon

Sweatshirts/Cardigans Maroon

Polo Shirts Blue

Shoes Brown or Black (football boots/shoes are not

acceptable)

The following uniform can be ordered online from Skoolkit at www.skoolkit.co.uk or via the school.

Blue Polo Shirt Maroon PE Shorts Maroon Fleece

Maroon Sweatshirt Maroon Games Shorts Waterproof Fleece

Maroon Cardigan PE Bag

Blue PE T-Shirt Baseball Cap

The school receives a limited amount of School Clothing Grant each year. Please contact the

school office for further information. All items of clothing must carry the child’s first and last name

and class so we can promptly return any lost property.

Dress Code We believe staff are role models for pupils and should dress accordingly. We believe both staff

and pupils should dress appropriately for the activities they are undertaking.

We ask parents not to send their children to school wearing:

Jeans

Unsuitable shoes e.g. high heels or flip flops

Branded clothes

Beach wear e.g. Bermuda shorts

Sportswear e.g. football or cycle shorts or shell suits.

Make up, nail varnish or excessive amounts of hair gel

Jewellery

Extreme haircuts and styles and hair colours

18

Personal Adornments/Jewellery Pupils may wear watches, but we do not believe that jewellery is suitable for the school day.

Pupils wearing jewellery will be asked to remove it.

Pupils with pierced ears may wear plain gold studs, but not sleepers or pendant earrings. Any

pupil wearing pierced earrings must be able to remove and replace them themselves. The safety

of our children is our first priority.

LA inspectors advise that all jewellery must be removed for PE. It would therefore be very helpful if

pupils who wear stud earrings do not wear them on days when they have PE.

Parents whose children wear jewellery for religious reasons need to let the executive head

teacher know in writing. All jewellery will need to be removed, taped over or covered with a

sweatband during PE. Tape should be provided from home.

School staff will accept no responsibility for the safe keeping of watches or jewellery.

Hairstyles and Other Fashions In recent times some parents have allowed children to have unsuitable/extreme hairstyles. This

challenges the school ethos of school membership and is disappointing to the overwhelming

majority of parents who wish to see children looking tidy in our school uniform. Make up is not

permitted. This includes nail varnish. Please use this guideline to direct children in what they wear

and how they appear. If there is any doubt please ask the Executive Head Teacher.

Dressing for PE and Games During PE it is important for reasons of hygiene and safety that pupils and staff have a change of

clothing. Pupils are required to bring trainers, a blue T-shirt and a pair of maroon shorts, skirt or

leotard to school in a drawstring bag.

For safety reasons children and staff should wear light clothing which does not inhibit movement,

catch in apparatus of obscure vision; footwear must ensure grip during activity; it is unhygienic for

children and staff to remain in the same clothing after they have been active and they should

appreciate the convention that sporting activities require different specialised items of clothing.

Hair should be tied back so that safety is not jeopardised by catching it in apparatus or obscuring

vision. (See also jewellery section)

Children may wear tracksuits for outdoor games in cold weather.

For children in Year 5 who attend swimming each child will need a towel and a swimsuit.

Children are encouraged to regard the wearing of appropriate dress as an integral part of these

activities. They must wear the following kit:-

INDOORS (PE) Plain cotton t-shirt and plain shorts. Girls may wear a plain leotard.

Children should have bare feet for the lesson.

OUTDOORS (GAMES) Shorts, t-shirts, socks and trainers/plimsolls’. In colder weather track suit

bottoms and a long sleeved top.

19

All items of PE and Games clothing should be named and kept in school in a named bag. Kit

should be taken home regularly for washing.

Children should change immediately, in their own classroom, before every lesson, under the

supervision of the class teacher. There may be circumstances in which pupils may need to

change separately.

Children will not be excused from PE/Games because of lack of kit. If children repeatedly do not

have kit we send three letters home. The third offers an appointment with parents to discuss the

continuing difficulty. Generally children who are too ill to take part in physical activities should not

be in school. However, specific exclusions from physical activity because of illness will require

direct confirmation by parents/carers, perhaps supported by a letter from the child’s GP. Verruca

do not constitute an excuse and should be appropriately treated and covered at home.

Art, Craft and Cooking For some art and craft activities it is important to protect clothing. Children may be asked to

provide an apron or old shirt for this purpose. They might also be required to provide a container

to carry items from school to home.

Children’s Work

20

Charging Policy

The law states that schools cannot charge for educational visits, although we may ask for

voluntary contributions. We hope that you will recognise the importance of these visits to

children's learning and that you will continue to support us when we ask for contributions.

If you do not wish to make a contribution, or if your circumstances are such that you find this

difficult, please contact the Executive Head Teacher in complete confidence. However, please

bear in mind, if there are insufficient contributions for a particular visit, it may have to be

cancelled.

Ludlow Junior School make school space available for Southampton Music Services to provide

opportunities for children in years 4, 5 and 6 to continue playing musical instruments. The

‘contract’ for these places is between the parent and the Music Service. Where children use an

instrument provided by the Music Service, parents are expected to maintain it in good order and

to pay for replacement strings, reeds and some music books etc. as necessary. If you wish your

child to take a loan instrument away from the school site we advise parents to either take out the

insurance offered by the Music Service which is available via the music teacher, or to ensure that

instruments are included in household insurance policies. Parents are responsible for loss or

damage to all loan instruments.

The School Governors have a Charging Policy and this is available in full from the school office for

parents to read.

Prepare2Play There is a lot of evidence that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child’s general

learning ability and is also beneficial in developing self-esteem and confidence. At Ludlow Junior

School, in partnership with Southampton Music Service, we are offering a project in 2013-2014 for

our Year 3 pupils: Prepare2Play.

Southampton Music Services Curriculum staff will be working in partnership with our own Year 3

class for teachers for one session each week. The focus of the project is developing musical

understanding and key skills. Singing, recorder and percussion playing will be central to the

project. Prepare2Play teaches the National Curriculum requirements for music in addition to

preparing pupils for learning an instrument. The project also provides a secure foundation of

musical skills. As part of Prepare2Play pupils will be given a bag which contains a recorder and

percussion instruments. We are pleased to advise that Preapre2Play is free to parents.

21

Transfer Arrangements

We meet regularly with the staff of the schools that our pupils transfer to in Year 7 to ensure that

our children are well prepared for secondary education. Detailed records are passed on to

ensure continuity. To make transfer as smooth as possible there is a coordinated transfer

approach for our Year 6 pupils and they attend the city transfer day when pupils are given a

taster of Year 7.

Transfer to specific secondary schools is not automatic. During the final year at Ludlow Junior

School parents are sent details of how to apply for a place at the secondary school of their

choice.

We are officially linked to Oasis Mayfield Academy and have established a good working

relationship with their staff team and pupils. We strongly urge parents to visit the school when

making decisions about future school placements but recognise that this is a matter of individual

choice for families. We routinely send pupils to a range of secondary schools including: Oasis

Mayfield, Chamberlayne College of the Arts, The Sholing Technology College and Hamble

Community Sports College. We also belong to the Woolston Schools Cluster community which is

a group of local schools who are committed to developing all aspects of provision for all members

of the local community.

Teaching and Learning Policy

Ludlow Junior School

At Ludlow Junior School we believe that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable

experience for everyone. We have a shared vision that all pupils should be provided with high

quality learning experiences that lead to consistently high levels of pupil achievement. Every child

can succeed and we strive to provide them with the skills they need to become lifelong learners.

Our key aims are:

To promote high quality teaching and learning.

To ensure all children are included, motivated and engaged by their learning.

To support and enable teachers to teach as effectively as possible.

To raise standards by ensuring consistency and continuity of teaching and learning.

To ensure there are no vulnerable groups.

To learn from each other, through the adoption of a collaborative, enquiry based

approach to teaching and learning, where good practice is shared.

In this policy there are a set of key principles and values that have been identified as being

fundamental in delivering the high quality education we feel every child deserves.

Key Principle We believe effective teachers use evidence and feedback to identify where pupils are in their

learning, what they need to do next and how best to achieve this.

Assessment for Learning (AFL) takes place during the lesson and is the way in which a teacher

assesses a child’s knowledge and understanding and more importantly what the child needs to

learn next.

Effective AFL is about:

Finding out where pupils are in their learning through discussion and questioning.

The active involvement of pupils in their own learning.

Planning learning activities which are differentiated so that children can build on prior

attainment and provide an appropriate level of challenge.

Sharing the learning intention of the lesson and discussing what pupils need to do to be

successful in their learning.

Supporting pupils in being able to assess themselves and their peers and understand how

to improve.

Key Principle We believe effective learning is an active process and that a range of strategies are needed to

ensure children engage with whole class teaching and learning.

We learn by doing. Research shows that active learning is much better recalled, enjoyed and

understood because children are drawing conclusions and ‘making their own meaning’ from their

experiences. Lots of the strategies we use promote interaction and ensure pupils are not passively

listening for long periods of time.

These may include:

Regularly providing opportunities for pupils to reflect and talk about their learning.

25

Use of effective questioning and discussion.

Children talking in pairs to generate an idea, ask and answer questions, reflect on what

they have just learnt or to share an experience.

Pupils using mini whiteboards to share ideas.

Grouping children in different ways so that they have the opportunity to work

collaboratively.

Key Principle We believe in teaching which interests, excites and motivates pupils and therefore accelerates

their learning.

At Ludlow Junior School, we feel that a curriculum which is well managed, carefully planned and

excites and motivates pupils is vital. Planning topic-themed units of work means that pupils and

teachers are enthusiastic about what they are learning and teaching.

We achieve this by:

Launching topics with ‘Wow’ days which introduce what the children will be learning in a

fun and engaging way.

Making links across the curriculum so learning becomes meaningful and purposeful.

Inviting ‘experts’ and visitors into school to support classroom learning.

Key Principle We believe that parents have a fundamental role to play in helping children learn.

We involve parents in children’s learning by:

Sending a half-termly curriculum bulletin outlining the topics to be studied so that parents

can support their children at home and provide further learning opportunities where they

can.

Holding parent’s evenings twice a year to discuss progress and outline areas for

development.

Organising Maths and Literacy workshops where parents can find out about the way we

teach so that they can support their child at home.

Running sessions where parents can read alongside their child, promoting the joy of

reading.

Sending home and publishing on our website a weekly newsletter which keeps parents

informed and updated on everything going on in the school.

Key Principle We believe in the power of coaching as a supportive and effective approach in developing

teachers.

Through coaching at Ludlow Junior School, we encourage teachers to become more reflective

about their teaching and promote discussion about the way the children in their class learn.

Coaching can be delivered in a variety of ways and is effective when:

Peers work together (in pairs or small groups) within lessons to reflect on the learning taking

place.

26

A coach works alongside a teacher in their lesson to encourage continual reflection on

how the children are learning.

There is recognition and analysis of teachers' individual starting points and what they

already do well is built upon.

Key Principle We believe in a positive ‘can do’ culture where praise and encouragement form the foundations

of all we do.

Teachers at Ludlow Junior School strive to create a positive learning environment, believing it is

important to encourage children in their learning and give meaningful praise. We hope that the

pupils in our school will want to do their best and we promote this by teaching them how to reflect

on their own learning and to set themselves achievable targets. We also feel it is important to:

Give pupils the confidence to take risks, to learn from mistakes and celebrate all learning

successes.

Encourage pupils to persevere, even if they are finding something difficult and give

strategies to work through challenging tasks.

Celebrate learning and learning outcomes, both within school and at home every week in

Celebration and year group assemblies, in newsletters and on the school website.

Encourage pupils to take pride in their work and displaying learning outcomes around the

school.

Employ positive behaviour strategies for managing children’s behaviour and help children

understand expectations by following the school’s behaviour policy consistently and fairly.

Give criticism constructively and maintain self-esteem.

Set high expectations of behaviour, including children’s attendance and punctuality.

Key Principle We believe in a shared vision which is aspirational. We are always looking forward and identifying

how we can improve further.

By continually evaluating and analysing what we do, we are always focusing on ongoing

improvement. We feel it is vital that we:

Track pupils’ progress termly and set action points for individual pupil, groups, classes and

year groups.

Monitor ongoing performance through work scrutiny, coaching outcomes, discussions

about planning etc.

Value the expertise of others, so that all contribute well within the school’s overall vision.

Lead by example and set high expectations for all.

27

Key Principle We are committed to giving our pupils every opportunity to achieve the highest of standards and

value individuality, irrespective of ethnicity, attainment, age, disability, gender or background.

At Ludlow Junior School we aim to be an inclusive school. We actively seek to remove the barriers

to learning and participation that can hinder or exclude individual pupils or groups of pupils. This

means that equality of opportunity must be a reality for all our children. We make this a reality

through the attention we pay to the different individuals and groups of children within our school

by:

Making sure lessons are well differentiated and support and challenge where appropriate.

Providing appropriate provision for children with SEN that is different from or additional to

the differentiated curriculum.

Overcoming potential barriers to learning through the support of the class teacher and

other adults in the school.

Providing high quality pastoral care, support and guidance.

Key Principle We believe in working alongside the wider community and that effective links with the community

will assist the school in raising standards.

We invite people from the wider community into our school to support the curriculum and we are

always looking for new ways in which we can develop stronger links.

Our school is part of the Woolston cluster which comprises of Ludlow Junior School, Woolston

Infant School, Ludlow Infant School, St Mary’s Primary, St Patricks Primary and Oasis Academy

Mayfield. We aim to work closely with these schools and with all schools and education partners

across the city to improve all aspects of provision in the local community.

This teaching and learning policy should be read in conjunction with the Safeguarding, Health

and Safety, Behaviour Management and Performance Management policies.

28

Teaching Organisation

Pupils stay at Ludlow Junior School until they are due to transfer to secondary school. We are

therefore able to offer continuity in your child's education from 7 to 11.

Our Teaching and Learning Guidelines sets out the ways in which teachers and teaching assistants

prepare and deliver the curriculum.

The teaching staff work very closely when planning pupils' work, so that each child's learning

progresses smoothly through the school. Each teacher carefully matches the work to the child

and employs a wide range of teaching strategies to enable them to learn.

Children are taught as individuals, in groups and as a whole class. Within each classroom

teachers use their skills to achieve the correct balance between these different grouping

arrangements. This allows each child to reach their full potential.

There will be occasions when children are taught in ability groups within their own classroom, for

example for mathematics. They may also move between classes during the day to join pupils of

similar ability. Equally, there are occasions when we use teachers’ individual specialism to deliver

curriculum content most effectively.

The Curriculum

The National Curriculum details the content of state education from 5-16 years. It stipulates targets

in each area of the curriculum about what children should know, understand and be able to do.

It is presented under the following subject headings:

Literacy Geography Numeracy

Art & Design Science Music

Design & Technology Physical Education History

ICT

Children also study Religious Education and Personal, Social and Health Education. This includes

Sex and Relationships Education in all year groups. French is also covered as part of MFL.

We regularly review the taught time in our week to ensure that we match national expectations

for junior schools. Time is also allowed for collective worship, registration and breaks.

The total amount of time given to each subject area takes into account national Guidelines and

advice. We are determined to ensure that we spend sufficient time enabling every child to

master the basic skills. Subjects are organised as units of work. Most of these contain only one

subject, but some are linked together to form a broader-based module. Every half term we

publish an overview of the work that each year group will cover in our curriculum bulletins.

Parents are encouraged to come into school to discuss these with class teachers.

Our curriculum will be subject to ongoing review to ensure that it is rich, challenging and relevant

to all pupils. A national review is expected in the autumn of 2013.

29

Educational Visits

We endeavour to give the children as many opportunities as possible to experience the world and

so various school activities take place. Examples of the visits that may be undertaken are:-

Local libraries, Peartree Church, Southampton Art Gallery, Southampton Museums, Fairthorne

Manor, Little Canada and Hooke Court Residential Trips, Woolston train station, theatres, local

area walks and music events.

Trips to religious places are put in place for the children to experience different cultures and not to

persuade or influence their religious beliefs. Southampton is a multi-cultural city and we believe

that it is our duty to ensure that our children are able to celebrate and appreciate the cultures of

their peers.

Children are not permitted to go to any off-site activity without a signed consent/medical form.

Medical forms will be provided at the beginning of each academic year and will also be

provided in the school Registration Pack for new starters. This form should be completed and

returned to school as soon as possible and will be kept on file. The school will not ask parents to

complete another medical form to enable your child to attend off-site activities/trips. Parents are

responsible for informing the school of any changes to their child’s medical and/or contact

details.

During the year there are opportunities for off-site educational visits. All visits will be part of your

child's educational experience and will involve preparation and follow-up work. We are currently

reviewing our range of residential and day visits.

Pupils may also go off site for other reasons e.g. Sports, Music, and Able & Gifted Enrichment.

Photographs of Pupils We routinely take photographs of the children during activities throughout the school day which

can be displayed around the school; we also use the photographs on publications such as this

brochure.

From time to time we have occasion to ask the Echo or other press outlets to come into our school

to photograph pupils during an activity or presentation which may appear in a local publication.

If you do not wish your child to be photographed in such circumstances during his or her stay at

Ludlow we request that you contact the school as soon as possible as we will not alert you on all

future occasions. In accordance with the Data Protection Act your child’s name will not be

released with any photograph taken.

Children with English as an Additional

Language

We are proud that some of our children join us from different parts of the world, bringing their

language and culture to enrich our school. Our teachers and bilingual assistants provide support

to enable all children to access the full range of the National Curriculum.

30

The Wider Community

We recognise that school is an integral part of the local community and that effective links with

the community will assist the school in raising standards.

We invite people from the wider community into our school to support the curriculum and we are

always looking for new ways in which we can develop stronger links with the community.

Our school is part of the Woolston Schools Cluster and we aim to work closely with all schools and

education partners in our area and across the city which comprises of Ludlow Junior School,

Woolston Infant School, Ludlow Infant School, Weston Shore, Weston Park, Chamberlayne, St

Patricks Primary and Oasis Academy Mayfield. This means that the schools have agreed to work

together closely to improve all aspects of provision in the local community.

Communications

We issue a school newsletter each week and publish this on our website. We do not automatically

provide a paper copy. If you require a paper copy please contact the school office. Copies of

all letters and other useful information can be found in the school reception and on our website.

Additional information is also on display in the playground notice boards. We encourage parents

to tell us useful information which will help us to support the children. Please let us know if we

might be able to help.

Testing and Assessment

A variety of testing and assessment procedures are used by the school to measure pupil progress,

to monitor pupil attainment, and to inform teachers’ future planning. In addition, results are used

as a comparative measure of school performance and assist us in target setting.

Teachers assess every child's work throughout the year and you will be told how your child is

progressing. We use standardised tests in reading and mathematics for all children from year 3

onwards. There are national tests called SATs at the end of year 6 and achievement tests in the

other years. You will be told when these are taking place and you will be given the results as part

of our reporting process.

Our teaching is strongly based in assessment for learning and teachers will be assessing pupils

throughout lessons, grouping and re-grouping flexibly to meet pupils’ needs.

31

Religious Education and Collective

Worship

Religious Education is planned from the agreed Hampshire syllabus. Parents may ask to see a

copy of this syllabus in school.

Religious Education aims to give children an understanding of different faiths, including the

Christian faith. The programme of study is non-denominational and reflects the broad range of

cultures and religions that make up our society.

Through our assemblies we aim to encourage children to celebrate and reflect upon things that

are special or separate from other school activities. This forms part of the spiritual and moral

development of children, as well as encouraging a caring and calm school ethos.

All parents have the right to withdraw their child from collective worship or from any lessons with a

religious content. Parents wishing to do this are asked to let the Executive Head Teacher know in

writing. Pupils who do not attend collective worship are supervised by a member of staff.

Sex and Relationships Education (SRE)

Our Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) Policy was established by the school governors

following consultation with parents and staff. Aspects of SRE can be taught in all year groups.

SRE at school should be complementary to that given in the home. The purpose is to prepare

pupils to cope with the physical and emotional challenges of growing up, and to give them an

understanding of human reproduction. We aim to present the facts in an objective, balanced

and sensitive manner.

In the Upper School, information is given about puberty, conception, pregnancy and birth. It is

taught in the context of a carefully planned personal, social and health education programme,

with particular regard to moral considerations and the value of family life.

Parents are always given prior notification of the start of these lessons and invited to preview the

resources used by the school.

All parents have the right to withdraw their children from SRE lessons. Where parents decide to

withdraw their children we ask them to write to the class teacher and Executive head teacher

well in advance of the lessons being taught. Withdrawn pupils will be treated sensitively and will

work quietly in another classroom during the SRE sessions.

Swimming Lessons

Pupils participate in swimming instruction when they are in year 5 at Ludlow Junior School. Lessons

are held at The Quays. This forms part of our PE curriculum and classes are transferred to The

Quays by bus with their teachers. We are always pleased to have parental volunteers to assist with

this activity. We use instructors from the pool and our own teachers take groups also. Pupils are

taught in ability groups at the pool.

32

Music

All children follow National Curriculum music. There are also opportunities for pupils to learn to play

a musical instrument in school through regular lessons with visiting teachers. The school has a

strong tradition in this area and in 2007 was deemed ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted. Our orchestra and

choirs are a source of pride and regularly compete in local & national competitions.

We are pleased to offer a project in 2013/14 called Prepare2Play in conjunction with

Southampton Music Service. Please see page 18 for further details.

Rationale Ludlow Junior School works in partnership with Southampton Music Service to provide an excellent

instrumental tuition service. In order to improve on our previous arrangements and to reduce the

length of commitment we were required to ask parents for, the ‘contract’ for music tuition places

is now directly between the parent and the Music Service. Parents of children in years 4, 5 and 6

are asked to make a financial contribution for lessons.

Operation Ludlow Junior School will continue to liaise with and facilitate free space for lessons for the

academic year 2013/2014, although will no longer be responsible for offering places or collecting

payments. We will however continue to distribute literature on behalf of the Music Service. Any

insurance arrangement will also be administered by the Music Service.

Remission of Fees Parents of pupils on Income Support or Family Credit may qualify for a remission of fees on

production of evidence. If you feel you may be eligible then you should apply in writing to the

Executive Head Teacher at the beginning of each academic year. Decisions are at the

Governing Body discretion.

33

Homework/Home Learning

We believe that homework/home learning forms an integral part of the teaching and learning

process. It should form a link between home and school, support the taught curriculum and raise

standards of achievement.

We aim to increase the amount of homework as children proceed through the school taking into

account Ofsted recommendations. We believe that this encourages them to develop self-

discipline through independent study. It also helps to prepare them for secondary education.

The homework programme at Ludlow Junior School is set within a clear framework so that pupils,

parents and teachers know exactly what is expected. Home Learning will be set and returned on

the same days each week in each year group.

Promoting further reading We would like to encourage you to share books and other written materials (magazines,

newspapers, leaflets etc.) for a short time every day if possible. This could be individual reading

chosen by you or your child or could be reading linked to work in class. Reading forms part of the

expected time allocation for homework in each year group. Linking to work in class could come

through discussion with your child and by looking at the Curriculum bulletin for the relevant half

term.

We would like book bags /books to be returned regularly so that books can be changed and

reading materials varied to suit individual needs. Reading logs/records should come into school as

requested by individual year groups.

Clubs and Activities

We believe that extracurricular activities are an important part of the life of our school. They

provide opportunities to enrich children's experience beyond the curriculum. They develop pupils'

social skills and promote a positive attitude towards school.

We therefore offer a broad range of clubs and activities, some of which change each term. We

encourage children to choose those that appeal to them.

Clubs may take place during the lunch break and after school. A small charge may apply in the

case of some of these clubs. We hope to run a selection of clubs across the year which might

include:

Art Gymnastics

African Drumming Homework Club

Athletics Karate

Basketball Multi Skills

Boys & Girls Football Reading

Boys Vocal Group School Choir

Cricket School Orchestra

Dance/Street Dance Speedstacking

Dodgeball Table Tennis

Drama

Equal Opportunities

At Ludlow Junior School we fully endorse the local authority's Equal Opportunities statement.

We believe that our school should be a place where children of all ages, race, religion, ability,

social circumstance and gender will find safety and respect for themselves, their families and their

traditions.

It is therefore our policy to ensure that every member of the school community:

Respects others and is respected

Takes every opportunity to play a full part in the life of the school

Is able to work and develop without direct or indirect discrimination of any kind

Achieves his/her full potential.

Race Equality

Our school aims to be a fully inclusive establishment, which provides a safe, secure and

welcoming atmosphere. At the core of our work is our aim to treat all staff, pupils and visitors with

the same high level of respect and courtesy whatever their age, race or gender.

At Ludlow Junior School we aim to tackle racial discrimination and promote race equality and

good race relations across all areas of school activity.

If any individual or group is found to breach any aspect of the school’s Race Equality Policy, all

members of the school have a responsibility to report the matter to a member of the school’s

leadership team. All breaches of this policy are to be logged carefully. The Executive Head

Teacher should investigate all alleged racist incidents and issues of racial discrimination

thoroughly. Following such investigation, the Executive Head Teacher has the right to ask

individuals or groups to leave the site. Where a serious incident occurs, the Executive Head

Teacher should contact the relevant authority and/or Hampshire Constabulary.

Behaviour

Children learn best in a secure, orderly, and happy environment. Ludlow Junior provides a school

community in which there are high standards of behaviour, mutual respect and courtesy between

all members and a proper regard for property and the school environment.

We foster caring and responsible attitudes whilst encouraging a high degree of self-discipline and

sensitivity towards others. We emphasise good behaviour and work through a system of rewards.

We celebrate good behaviour by sharing it with others in assemblies and classrooms.

Unacceptable behaviour is largely prevented by recognising and rewarding good conduct.

However, if pupils act in an unacceptable manner then a number of sanctions will be used as

itemised in our behaviour policy.

Parents will be notified of unacceptable behaviour at an early stage, as co-operation between

home and school usually prevents major problems from arising.

Every child who is in our school is here to learn and develop and that every teacher should be

able to teach in a settled, secure and positive environment.

Our behaviour policy emphasises pro-active planning for discipline. It seeks to:

Ensure the systematic use of rules, rewards and sanctions

36

Enable parents and pupils to know the school rules and consequences

Inform parents of any issues associated with their child's behaviour at an early stage

Ensure consistency between all adults working in the school

Enable staff to spend more time on teaching and less time on dealing with bad behaviour

Prevent attention-seeking pupils from gaining attention through unacceptable behaviour

Ensure that all forms of unacceptable behaviour are dealt with fairly, firmly and promptly

Bullying Bullying occurs where a person is subjected to repeated physical, psychological or verbal attacks

over a period of time by another child or group of children. As such it is extremely serious.

Bullying and fighting are not tolerated in school and, with vandalism, are regarded seriously

enough to warrant informing parents immediately and seeking their co-operation.

At Ludlow Junior School all children are actively encouraged to speak to their teachers or any

other adult if they feel they are being bullied and we make every effort to ensure that it does not

happen again. If it is deemed necessary to exclude a pupil from school, the pupil’s parents have

the right to appeal against the decision to the governing body if they consider the exclusion to be

unreasonable. Parents may request a copy of the procedures from the school office.

Safety and Security

The school is private property and nobody, has a right to come on to the premises. Your child's

safety is our most important concern. For this reason we ask for your help in these ways:

All visitors should come to reception from Peveril Road and not enter the building through any

other door. If you visit the school, or if you bring your child into school after the start of the school

day, please report to the school office.

All visitors, including parents, are asked to report to the main office on arrival, to sign in and wear

a visitor's badge in school. These are issued on arrival. All visitors are expected to conduct

themselves in a reasonable manner and in a way which sets an example to our pupils.

We will never allow your child to leave the school premises during school time unless you have told

us to do so.

Dogs (except guide dogs) must not be brought onto the school site. However, the school is

exploring the therapeutic benefits of a school dog. The use of bikes, roller boots, skateboard,

scooters and similar items are not permitted on the site. We ask all cyclists to dismount at the

gates and walk cycles to the designated storage.

There is a No Smoking Policy at all times within the school building and grounds.

A fire drill takes place each term. The alarm system and fire extinguishers are checked regularly.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young

people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We therefore ask all staff,

volunteers, contractors and visitors to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) application,

previously known as a Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure (CRB).

37

Your Child's Health

We need to know how to reach you or a person named by you who will care for your child in an

emergency. Please fill in the contact form that you will be given and tell us promptly of any

changes.

If we are unable to contact you, your child will be cared for in the medical room. First Aid

qualified members of staff are:- Mrs K Back, Mrs E Goodall, Ms R Goodleff, Mrs J Murphy, Mrs M

White, Mrs E Wilde and Mrs A Hamon, Mr P Ross.

If your child becomes ill, or has an accident during the school day, every effort will be made to

contact you so that they can be taken home. In the event of real emergencies we will arrange

for your child to be taken to hospital.

In the majority of cases it should not be necessary to administer medicine during school hours.

However, there are some children who are well enough to come to school, but who need

medication during the day.

Parents are welcome to come into school and administer such medicine. If you are not able to

come in, it may be possible for us to supervise your child administering certain prescription

medicines on your behalf. The administration of medicines in schools is a voluntary activity and

parents requiring this service should approach the Executive Head Teacher or Business Manager.

A form is available from the school office which will need to be completed and signed. We will

always do our best to ensure that your child receives the correct medicine, but we do not accept

responsibility for such administration. Children must never carry medicines to or from school, or

bring non-prescribed medicines (e.g. cough sweets) with them. Medical consent forms are

reviewed and updated each term.

The school nurse, Isobel Reid, visits school regularly to discuss children's health. Please contact the

school office if you would like an appointment. You will be invited to come into school if your

child is called for a medical examination. The local authority and the primary care trust may also

ask to collect other information about pupils’ health and wellbeing – you will be informed in

advance if this is the case.

The Educational Psychologist may be called upon to carry out individual assessments of children

who are experiencing emotional or academic difficulties, but this will only be done after a full

discussion with the parents.

The Educational Welfare Officer visits school half termly to discuss any problems a child may be

having at school which relate to the home environment. He or she will regularly inspect registers

and follow up poor attendance. Ludlow Junior School does participate in the Fixed Penalty Notice

scheme in relation to poor attendance but from September 2013 the Aiming High Teacher will

consider the need to conduct home visits to support good attendance.

Leave of absence (holiday) forms will only be considered if attendance records are in line with our

agreed policy and application is made in good time.

Health Inspections Parents are informed before inspection. Tests of vision and hearing are conducted periodically by

the School Nurse, who informs parents of any problems. If you have any concerns about your

child’s health please contact the school. In Year 6, the NHS conduct a programme where

children’s heights & weights are measured. You will receive more information in the spring term if

your child is in Year 6.

38

Additional Support The school employs a number of support staff who work closely with children, individually or in

groups, to help them integrate and become more socially confident. Their work is very varied and

pupils join and leave groups regularly. A significant number of our pupils will benefit from ELSA

support at some time. Our team comprises of Learning Mentors, LSA’s, Nurture Staff, and

Emotional Literacy Support etc.

Sunrise Nurture Group

Our Sunrise nurture group is a small group of 6 to 10 children staffed by two supportive adults.

Nurture groups offer a short term, focussed, intervention strategy, which addresses barriers to

learning arising from social / emotional and or behavioural difficulties, in an inclusive, supportive

manner. The children attend Sunrise for four afternoons a week but continue to remain part of

their own class group and usually return full time to their own class within 4 terms. Trained staff

create an attractive, safe, structured environment. Staff then provide a variety of experiences,

opportunities, approaches and resources to address these needs within a culture of trust,

understanding and knowledge.

Special Educational Needs/Aiming High

Children with special educational needs are those who need to have extra provision made for

them. These children range from those who need a little extra help with reading to those who

need specialist help with their educational, emotional or physical needs.

It is our policy that all children should be fully integrated into the activities of the whole school and

that they should, as far as possible, join in everyday activities with other children and have full

access to the National Curriculum.

The admission arrangements for children with special needs are the same as for other pupils, but

do very occasionally depend on the individual child's specific need. The school's governing body

would have the final say if it were thought that the school could not provide for a particular child.

All children with special educational needs are identified and supported as early as possible in

their school life. They are given a programme of work tailored to their particular needs. A teacher

and learning support assistants are employed to support their needs. Learning support assistants

receive regular training alongside the teaching staff and some also receive training in particular

programmes of work.

Our Aiming High Teacher, Miss Jo Bean is responsible for managing the identification of children’s

specific requirements, managing the work of the learning support assistants, and structuring

appropriate programmes of work.

Our special needs policy describes the work that we do in more detail. It has recently been

reviewed to take full account of the 2001 SEN Code of Practice.

Able Children

We have many children who display high levels of ability. These children need an enriched

curriculum in order to reach their full potential. At Ludlow Junior, we track every child through the

school in order to identify those with particular strengths and this information is used to set

individual targets. We share this data regularly with parents on an individual basis.

39

Disabled Access The school has recently undertaken an audit under the Disability Discrimination Act and

accessibility is continuously monitored. However, the school is not purpose built and the physical

layout may be challenging for some individuals. We will continue to work closely with external

groups to ensure that we meet the needs of all members of our community.

Pupil Premium at Ludlow Junior School

What is Pupil Premium? In 2011-12 the Government launched its Pupil Premium funding initiative. This is money granted to

schools, based on the number of children who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM), and those

who are Looked After or in Care (LAC). The aim is to raise the attainment of these children, who

may be disadvantaged, and to narrow the attainment gap between them and their peers.

From 2012-13, this funding has been expanded to include all children who have been

eligible for FSM within the last 6 years.

This money is allocated for use at the school's discretion to support initiatives to ensure

pupils reach their full potential, both academically and socially.

Pupil Premium at Ludlow Junior School At Ludlow Junior School we believe in “Achievement by All” and we are dedicated in providing

the very best for every pupil. Through our pastoral care and by tracking the progress of all pupils

Attendance

We encourage a high level of attendance and punctuality at Ludlow Junior. At the end of every

term we praise the children who have attended every day without being late.

If your child is absent for reasons of sickness, please let the school office know promptly by

telephone or in writing. We need to know specific reasons for sickness and absence. We are

required to keep records of all absences and reasons for absences. If your child has a medical or

dental appointment please advise the school with production of an appointment card or letter in

order that we may authorise the absence.

If you need to take your child out of school for any other reason you will need to seek

authorisation from the Executive Head Teacher. A form is available for this purpose in the school

office and must be completed and returned 4 weeks before the date of requested absence.

Authorisation cannot be given after the event. The Executive Head Teacher can only authorise

up to 10 days holiday per academic year.

We are required to report levels of absenteeism in this prospectus.

Rates of absence for the year ending 31.05.12:

Percentage authorised absence 4.7%

Percentage of unauthorised absence 0.88%

Regular attendance at school is vital for children's education. Unauthorised absences are

followed up by the school and persistent cases are followed up by the School Attendance and

Safeguarding Team.

We are currently looking to recruit an Attendance Officer who will work directly with our

community to tackle absence.

Parents at Ludlow Junior School

It is our belief that children are always most successful when they know that parents and teachers

are working together in their best interest.

We hope that parents will become fully involved in the life of the school. We are always pleased

to see you, whether it is to discuss a matter of concern, spend some time seeing what is

happening at Ludlow Junior School or lending a helping hand.

We value your positive support in everything we do. We hope that you will spend time sharing

books with your child at home, see that homework is done carefully and on time and encourage

your child to visit the local library regularly.

If you have any concerns, or if you wish to see your child's work, you are welcome to make an

appointment to come in and see a teacher at any time.

We hold Parents' Evenings three times a year and look forward to seeing you on these occasions.

The autumn meeting will be a ‘Meet the Teacher’ evening. At the spring meeting we will be

looking at the annual report and at the summer meeting we will be discussing progress towards

individual targets. The annual report is a direct copy of the report that is kept on file in school.

If you have concerns about the school generally, please come in and see a teacher or the

Phase/Assistant Phase. We assure you that we will do our best to answer any questions, solve any

problems and alleviate any anxieties.

We hold regular evenings for parents which are designed to allow you to become involved in our

improvement planning and to become more aware of our curriculum content and teaching

strategies.

Complaints about the School

Introduction We believe that our school provides a good education for all our children, and that the Executive

Head Teacher and all staff work very hard to build positive relationships with all parents. However,

the school is obliged to have procedures in place in case there are complaints by parents. The

following policy sets out the procedure that the school follows in such cases.

If any parent is unhappy with the education that their child is receiving, or has any concern

relating to the school, we encourage that person to talk to the child’s class teacher immediately.

We deal with all complaints in accordance with procedures set out by Southampton City Council.

If the school cannot resolve any complaint itself, those concerned can ask the LA to intervene via

its complaints department or other dedicated personnel.

All parents have the right, as a last resort, to appeal to the Secretary of State for Education, if they

still feel that their complaint has not been properly addressed.

Aims and Objectives

Our school aims to be fair, open and honest when dealing with any complaint. We give careful

consideration to all complaints and deal with them as swiftly as possible. We aim to resolve any

complaint through dialogue and mutual understanding and, in all cases, we put the interests of

the child above all other issues. We aim to provide sufficient opportunity for any complaint to be

fully discussed, and then resolved.

The Complaints Process

If a parent is concerned about anything to do with the education that we are providing at our

school, they should, in the first instance, discuss the matter with their child’s class teacher. Most

matters of concern can be dealt with in this way. All teachers at Ludlow Junior work very hard to

ensure that each child is happy at school, and is making good progress; they always want to

know if there is a problem, so that they can take action before the problem seriously affects the

child’s progress. The Assistant Phase Leader, Phase Leader, Assistant Head Teacher and Director

of Learning and Teaching may all be involved in resolving a concern after initial contact with the

class teacher. The Assistant Phase Leader should become involved if a class teacher cannot

resolve and issue.

Where a parent feels that a situation has not been resolved through contact with the class

teacher, or that their concern is of a sufficiently serious nature, they should make an appointment

to discuss it with the Executive Head Teacher. The Executive Head Teacher considers any such

complaint very seriously and investigates each case thoroughly. Most complaints are normally

resolved at this stage.

Should a parent have a complaint about the Executive Head Teacher, s/he should first make an

informal approach to one of the members of the governing body, who is obliged to investigate it.

The governor in question will do all s/he can to resolve the issue through a dialogue with the

school, but if a parent is unhappy with the outcome, s/he can make a formal complaint, as

outlined below.

Only if an informal complaint fails to resolve the matter should a formal complaint be made to the

governing body. This complaint must be made in writing, stating the nature of the complaint and

46

how the school has handled it so far. The parent should send this written complaint to the Chair of

Governors.

The governing body must consider all written complaints within three weeks of receipt. It arranges

a meeting to discuss the complaint, and invites the person making it to attend the meeting, so

that s/he can explain her complaint in more detail. The school gives the complainant at least

three days’ notice of the meeting.

After hearing all the evidence, the governors consider their decision and inform the parent about

it in writing. The governors do all they can at this stage to resolve the complaint to the parent’s

satisfaction.

If the complaint is not resolved, a parent may make representation to the city council. Further

information about this process is available from the school or from the LA.

If any parent is still not content that the complaint has been dealt with properly, then s/he is

entitled to appeal to the Secretary of State for Education.

Monitoring and Review

The governors monitor the complaints procedure, in order to ensure that all complaints are

handled properly. The Executive Head Teacher logs all formal complaints received by the school

and records how they were resolved. The chair of governors examines this log on a regular basis.

Governors will take into account any local or national decisions that affect the complaints

process, and will modify this policy as necessary to comply with such decisions. This policy is made

available to all parents, so that they can be properly informed about the complaints process.

This policy has an appendix titled:

“UNREASONABLY PERSISTENT” COMPLAINANTS AND “UNREASONABLE COMPLAINANT BEHAVIOUR”

This policy appendix is in line with that of the local authority and is available from the office on

request.

PART 6: What Ofsted Say About Us

On 10-11th January 2012 we were inspected by Ofsted (report reference number 116098) and

some of the headlines were:

This is a good school.

An outstanding feature of teaching is the way the planned work is pitched to pupils’

differing ability levels, so all are challenged to do well.

Leadership and management are good. The many improvements have come about

because of the school’s outstanding system for helping teachers to teach better.

The school evaluates the quality of its teaching and the extent to which pupils make

progress extremely well.

Pupils respond very well to the opportunities they get to discuss work, with a partner, using

the time maturely and also good at assessing each other’s work, using criteria given at the

start of the lesson.

They can reflect with understanding too, as shown when a Year 3 class came up with the

ideas about what the symbol of a tree might represent, such as ‘strength’, ‘life’ or ‘nature’.

School leaders have focused on developing teacher’s assessment skills so that activities

can be consistently well matched to pupil’s abilities. They have been conspicuously

successful: work challenged pupils successfully in every lesson observed.

In Year 3 mathematics lesson of exceptional quality, the teacher assessed and reacted to

pupil’s learning throughout lesson and fine-tuned activities with such expertise that, even at

an individual level, pupils were carrying out varied learning tasks.

Teachers frequently demonstrated good use of resources. In an outstanding Year 6 lesson,

information and communication technology was used particularly well to help pupils

understand analogue and digital clocks.

The good attention given to behaviour and manners supported pupil’s social

development, and in many lessons this was furthered by the many opportunities for

discussion and paired working.

Marking is exceptionally good in classes where teachers not only check work against the

success criteria but often identify a minor weakness and set it as a written individual target

for the next lesson.

Pupils feel safe in the school, and are typically courteous and respectful to staff and visitors.

They understand how to keep themselves safe. Classrooms have a very positive climate for

learning, attendance is above average and the school is a cohesive learning community.

A series of appointments of new managers and an excellent coaching programme to

improve teaching have had a major impact on provision and pupil progress.

The recommendations of the last inspection have been addressed well.

Leaders analyse data very well and use the results to plan effective strategies for the

improvement of groups, year groups and subjects, for example mathematics.

Provision for disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is now well

managed. Identification of needs is accurate and secure, and interventions are planned

systematically.

One of the major successes of the school leaders is the degree to which they have

achieved the commitment of the staff to the rapid improvements.

The ambition to improve is embedded at all levels in the school, the result of the energy

and dive of the two co-leaders and level of delegation and responsibility given to staff at

other levels. The school clearly has capacity to improve further.

The curriculum is broad and balanced, and meets the needs of pupils of different abilities

particularly well. It promotes good spiritual, moral, cultural and particularly social

development during lessons and through the wide range of extra-curricular and

enrichment activities.

Strengths in the arts, particularly music, contribute well to the cultural development.
