A Message from the HeadteacherOur aim is to be amongst the top 10% best schools in the UK by 2012.

We are a friendly, evolving and ambitious school. Our children will be part of a happy, progressive learning environment which will enable them to succeed and achieve. We want to ensure that we are leading in any educational development nationally, but with our children’sindividual abilities and interests catered for.

We aim to work together with parents to meet our children’s needs as individuals, to establish relationships which allow learning to be highly eff ective, and to ensure that our children succeed at the highest possible level.

We have personalised the curriculum to meet each child’s needs by being inclusive. We care passionately about our children’s success and have developed a programme of improvement, which is further raising standards.

If we are to succeed in our aim to make Neville Lovett Community School amongst the top 10% of UK schools then partnership with parents is essential. We hope that you will be able to identify these key features when you view or visit us at work. We look forward to developing, improving and strengthening this partnership.

Learning and AchievementThe school is committed to providing outstanding learning experiences in the classroom. Lessons allow students to progress in their learning. Students are engaged and challenged. We promote positive attitudes to learning by developing independent learning. We use stimulating resources including use of new technologies, which are diff erentiated as appropriate to the students.

All teachers have high expectations of what their students can achieve as we want all our students to reach their full potential during school and beyond, in college, university and the work place.

Student Voice - Our School ExperienceB R Y D I E Y E A R 7 - ‘I am really proud of the levels I have achieved this year. Every Thursday I went to Netball club where I learnt new rules.’

AND Y - Y E A R 9 - ‘With some other students we did a presentation to Winchester University about team skills. In order to prepare for this we did a plan and practised it to gain the confi dence to deliver to people we don’t know.’ ‘I have had childline training this year to help students with bullying issues. I gained a qualifi cation. Students come and see me at breaktimes and I am able to help them with any problems.’

J E S S I C A - Y E A R 9 - ‘I have done my fi rst GCSE in statistics this year and have completed my options. On a Monday and a Wednesday, which are my favourite days in school and the reason that I love coming to school, I go to the Young Carers Club and we sit, talk and eat lots of biscuits. I get to talk to other Young Carers who go through the same things as me, which really helps. We also do activities together including bowling and picnics.’

J A SM I N E - Y E A R 1 0 - ‘On a Wednesday I enjoy relaxing at the school badminton club. I like going to homework club regularly, because it gives me confi dence in completing coursework. I went and helped out at the Ranvilles school fete as a student ambassador. I enjoyed working with diff erent people that I hadn’t met before. This has given me loads of confi dence. As an ambassador I often show visitors around the school which I am proud to do.’

We value each individual and celebrate their achievement. We encourage all our students to be involved in the life of the school and in the wider community. We develop open and mutually supportive relationships with parents. The Headteacher invites 20 parents every month to an informal discussion.

“The school is eff ective in developing community cohesion, giving students a good understanding of their local community and of national and international dimensions and makes good use of the extended on-site provision.” (Ofsted 2008).

“Parents and carers are largely supportive of the work of the school.” (Ofsted 2008)

Learning through partnership

Learning through opportunity and progression‘Students personal development is good because of the good care and support they receive from staff who know them well. The school has a pleasant atmosphere and the majority of students contribute positively to it as a community.’ (Ofsted 2008)

The academic guidance off ered to students has strengths in relation to careers and options.

‘Careers and options guidance is good and involves well-planned work with outside agencies and other educational institutions so that most students go on to further study or work.’ (Ofsted 2008)

‘Enrichment and extra-curricular activities are a strength, including gifted and talented students.’ (Ofsted 2008)

RE and assembliesRE is studied by all students throughout their 5 years at Neville Lovett. This culminates in every student having the opportunity to gain a GCSE qualifi cation in RE at the end of Year 11.

House assemblies take place every week at Neville Lovett Community School. Students partake in one assembly a week and these are based around the schools “Thought for the week”. Occasionally students will come together as a Year group when either outside speakers are invited in, or important information needs to be communicated to a particular Year group e.g. Pathway choices, Further Educational establishment visits, Careers etc.

HomeworkHomework is a vital part of secondary education. It helps students practise skills and apply knowledge they have learned in lessons as well as develop good habits of private study. It also gives parents the chance to support what their children are doing in school. Students are expected to do homework every night of the school week. Every student has a homework timetable. Homework will be set to this timetable and it can be found on our VLE.

The library is open at break, lunch and after school for students to complete homework and research.

Rewards and sanctionsNeville Lovett Community School expects that students will know how to behave. We operate a chance, warning, action procedure in the classroom and encourage good learning and behaviour through our system of rewards, given for good work, social responsibility and improvement. Rewards are celebrated by special events and prizes. We promote positive approaches to learning and seek to reinforce students’ good behaviour and learning by using both praise and the school stamp system, which ultimately rewards the student if they gain a certain percentage throughout the term and year.

Extra curricular activities / EnrichmentThere is a great commitment in providing a wide range of extra-curricular activities, both academic and sporting, at Neville Lovett Community School. These include activities in Physical Education, Art, ICT, Music, Maths, Science, Drama and many others. In addition, after school study support is provided by many departments. These extra-curricular activities play a signifi cant part in enhancing students’ personal development, building their confi dence, developing their skills and keeping students active. Many enrichment activities take place throughout the year in which students can go out on day trips as well as residential experiences. These include Year 7 summer camp; Year 8 trip to Chateau Beaumont; Geography trips; Year 10 Battlefi elds trip and Aim Higher trips for Years 7 to 10 at The Solent University to name but a few.

Home school agreementThe home school agreement can raise standards and contribute to the schools eff ectiveness by enhancing partnerships between parents, students and teachers. The home-school agreement provides a framework for the development of such a partnership. The processes involved in introducing and reviewing the agreement will clarify what the school is trying to achieve, and the agreement will set out the role of the school, parents and students in this vital partnership. A copy of the home-school agreement can be found on our website.

School absencesWhen a student is absent parent(s)/carers are requested to telephone the school offi ce on each day of the absence. The school will try to contact parent(s)/carers on the fi rst day of absence if they have not heard from them. If this is not possible and the school has not made contact, a note giving reasons for the absence should be given to the form tutor on the student’s return. A notifi cation of reasons is required within ten working days of the fi rst day of absence. It is also requested that family holidays are not taken during term time. Any request for absence for holidays should be made before booking. A holiday request form is available from student services and should be returned to the school offi ce. A decision will then be made by the Headteacher as to whether the holiday will be authorised or not.

Parents in partnershipSuccess in the education of children depends, at least in some part, on the involvement of their parents. If a student sees that their parents are enthusiastic about education, they are far more likely to view their schooling in a positive light, and be more receptive to learning.

To this end, you should be seen as vital partners in a student’s education, as not only can you help in making sure homework is in on time and in giving a student vital coaching and advice out of school hours, but you also determine your child’s home environment, where they spend much of their time. Engaging and working with parents is one of the most vital parts of providing children with an excellent education. We at Neville Lovett Community School will work in a partnership with you the parent, in ensuring that your child achieves their full potential during their secondary education. This partnership can be clearly seen by viewing the home school agreement that can be found on our website.

Organisation (pastoral)Within our pastoral care structure, students are given information, advice and guidance in year tutor groups. ‘Students’ needs are well known and there are good systems for supporting and guiding their personal development.’ (Ofsted 2008)

The curriculum and groupingsOur curriculum seeks to bring out the potential of everyone. It is reviewed regularly as we recognize that one year group may diff er from another one. In the fi rst two years students follow a broad curriculum which includes the full range of subjects. Students are grouped across the ability range and a focus on learning and thinking underpins the subject content. As students progress through and beyond year 9, examination courses are started allowing students to access level 2 qualifi cations such as GCSEs and BTECs. Students are set on ability during these three years.

Inclusion/SENEvery child matters. Through the curriculum and the pastoral care system it is our belief that everyone should reach or exceed their potential. Students with special needs are supported in their curriculum choices and in developing their literacy. We support students with hearing impairment and they ’make good progress as a result of the eff ective support they receive.’ (Ofsted 2008)

Links with other schools/CollegeWe have built strong links with Fareham College and several students follow courses there. We believe it is important that students look beyond their local surroundings and so we have links with St Francis Special School and students have made contacts with others across the county such as Bohunt School.

School Uniform - Outdoor CoatsOutdoor coats are worn throughout the day as students move between teaching blocks. It is essential therefore that the style of coat worn by a student is in keeping with our formal school uniform. Outdoor garments must therefore: be a recognisable coat rather than an alternative casual garment such as a training • top, hooded sweat top, a sweater or denim jacket. We would expect such a coat to have a zip or set of buttons for the full length of the coat.

be of one predominant colour.•

have only a discreet manufacturer’s name or logo.•

have no pictures/decorations/graphics on the back or front eg names of football • teams, bands, pressure groups.

To avoid arguments student must accept the school’s judgment on whether a coat is suitable for wearing around the school site.

School Uniform - continuedHAT S A ND S C A R V E SIn extremely cold weather a plain black knitted hat may be worn. No other hat including “baseball” style caps may be worn. “Football Scarves” must not be worn at any time. T R A I N E R STrainers may only be worn at school during PE or Drama Lessons. N.B. As it is contrary to Health and Safety Regulations for students engaged in practical work in any workshop whilst wearing trainers, any students who attends a craft lesson in trainers will not be permitted to take part in any practical aspect of that lesson. HA I RStyles should not be extreme in fashion. No outrageous or unusual colors are permitted. Shaved heads are not acceptable. Students can be sent home if they come to school with a haircut close to their scalp. MAK E - U PYear 11 girls are permitted to wear discreet make up. Girls in all other years will be asked to remove it. Clear or natural coloured nail varnish may be worn by Year 10 and 11 girls. J EW E L L E R YIn general we believe that the wearing of jewellery is not in keeping with a formal school uniform. Items of jewellery can be a safety hazard and security is diffi cult in the school environment. For these reasons students may only wear: A watch.• A single chain with religious symbol hidden from view.• Where a student has pierced ears a small plain round stud with no more than one in each ear.•

Please note that no other jewellery will be allowed. If a student has a pierced eyebrow, pierced nose or other piercing, there is no question of a stud or other item being worn in school at any time.
