Our vision and aims
Together we do our best!
“A quote relating to the body”
Primary (or elementary) education consists
of the first 5–7 years of formal, structured
education. In general, primary education
consists of six or eight years of schooling
starting at the age of five or six, although
this varies between, and sometimes within,
countries. Globally, around 89% of primary-
age children are.
Enrolled in primary education, and this
proportion is rising.[8] Under the Education
For All programs driven by UNESCO, most
countries have committed to achieving
universal enrolment in primary education
by 2015, and in many countries, it is
compulsory for children to receive primary
education. The division between primary
and secondary education is somewhat
arbitrary, but it generally occurs at about
eleven or twelve years of age.
Value each other, ourselves and all that
is around us.
Our school has five core values which
underpin all that we do. They are:
Trust
Friendship
Perseverance
Courage
Belonging

Daily life at St White’s
A friendly school with family values
“My child’s teacher always listens and puts my child’s learning first.”
Everyday, the children arrive from 8.40am
and make their way to their classroom.
Teachers are at their classrooms to
welcome your child in and make sure they
are settled and ready to learn. This also
gives you a chance to speak with the
teacher if you have a question or query.
Teachers are always willing to talk with you
about any issues or ideas you have,
especially if it means your child will settle
well at school and make progress. We
encourage you to build a good relationship
with your child’s teacher so that if and when
issues occur, they can be resolved quickly
and effectively.
We have five school rules and five core
values which underpin everything we do.
We hope you will adopt these values and
support your child with their learning.

Getting a great start!
It is really important that your child arrives
and leaves school on time. It helps them feel
they are important in school and valued by
everyone around them. As a parent, we
hope you will ensure that your child travels
safety to and from school, and that your
child is on time.

Your child’s safety
Safeguarding and Child Protection
The safety and wellbeing of our child is
paramount at St White’s. We want every
child to feel safe at school. We have robust
safeguarding procedures in place and a
detailed ‘personal, social, health and
citizenship education’ programme to teach
our children how to manage risk,
understand emotion and what to do when
they meet different challenges as they
grow.
All our adults who work in school complete
a criminal records check and our Teachers
and Teaching Assistants receive child
protection training. We have a designated
Child Protection Officer and a Family
Support Worker. Together we can
safeguard our children.
Visitors to the school all need to sign in at
the Office.
Health and Safety in Schools
“Teaching children to manage risk allows them to do all the things they want to do, but safely.” In India, compulsory education spans over
twelve years, Some education systems have
separate middle schools, with the transition
to the final stage of secondary education
taking place at around the age of fourteen.
Schools that provide primary education, are
mostly referred to as primary schools.
Primary schools in these countries are often
subdivided into infant schools and junior
school.
out of which children receive elementary
education for 8 years. Elementary schooling
consists of five years of primary schooling
and 3 years of upper primary schooling.
Various states in the republic of India
provide 12 years of compulsory school
education based on national curriculum
framework designed by the National Council
of Educational Research and Training.

Rewards and success
Promoting good behaviour
“I love getting House Points; I can’t wait to see which House will win each term!”
We feel good behaviour should be
rewarded, and that is the focus of our
behaviour policy. When children do well,
work hard and achieve we reward them in
number of ways.
We give lots of praise to encourage
everyone to persevere in their learning.
Sometimes we use stickers or class
certificates. Children can earn House Points
for their Team House. The winning House
each term earns a Reward Afternoon. We
have a Superstars Certificates which lists
each child’s personal successes. Our highest
award is the St White’s Hero Award. To
earn this children need to of gain a
substantial personal achievement albeit in
their learning, supporting others or
overcoming challenges life often presents
to us.
When children don’t follow the school rules,
we have a clear system in place. It starts with
a reminder of the rules. Then time out , or a
yellow card, to reflect on what’s happened,
and finally if all else fails, a referral to a
member of Senior Management to carry out
a sanction.
For more serious cases, we look to the
Special Needs and exclusions guidance to
resolve things. For more information please
ask for a copy or our Behaviour Policy.

Our communities
Local families, friends and supporters
We are always looking for ways to further
support our local community. We have
weekly coffee mornings, and support local
businesses and charities. We also have
many volunteers who come in to support
the children’s learning; some listen to
readers, help in the classroom, and our
‘Open the Book’ team offer Christian
assemblies once a week.
Friends of St White’s
FOSW is a charity group set up to fundraise
and support the school. All its members
work tirelessly to raise money to fund
specific projects or buy equipment the
school would otherwise not afford. Many of
the trips, play equipment and books are
provided by FOSW. For all its members, it is
also a social events for parents, friends and
supporters of the school. Interested in
joining? The School Office has more
information.
Local Primary Schools
The schools in Cinderford work closely
together to share good practice and join
together for special events. This is
particularly useful when providing more
challenging opportunities for our gifted and
talented children. We are also members of the West Gloucestershire Schools Partnership, which provide guidance,
training and the sharing of good practice for
all schools in the Forest of Dean and
beyond.
Local Secondary Schools
We have good links with the local secondary
schools. Some, such as Forest E-Act and
Dene Magna, offer the use of their facilities
so that we can further enhance our
education provision. At Forest E-Act
Academy, we go swimming and join in with
specially organised events such as their
‘super learning days’. At Dene Magna, we
participate in sporting events throughout
the year.
