School Session Times - Current Arrangements

The current times of the school day are 8:40am – 3:10pm.

A morning session = 3 hours 10 minutes

An afternoon session = 2 hours 30 minutes

= 5 hours 40 minutes each day

This equates to 28 hours and 20 minutes per week, which taking into account collective worship and

registration, is in excess of the recommended 23.5 hours per week.

Objective 1: Continue to develop models of distributed leadership across the school to maximise the

progress of learners.

Objective 2: Improve standards in numerical reasoning with particular focus on more able pupils

Objective 3: Improve standards in reading with particular focus on more able pupils

Objective 4: Continue to promote literacy, numeracy, science and ICT across the curriculum within a

purposeful creative context.

Objective 5: Wellbeing: Develop children’s reasoning, listening and oracy skills through the

implementation of a ‘philosophy for children’ curriculum.

Objective 6: Accelerate the progress of learners in Welsh and Spanish with particular focus on MAT

pupils.

Section 7:

Healthy Schools

Healthy Schools was a major focus in 2014-2015 and the school was successful in achieving the

National Quality Mark Healthy Schools Award. Some of the key initiatives were:

Introducing and implementing the new Multi skills approach in all PE lessons.

Assemblies linked to Healthy Lifestyles planned and delivered on a regular basis.

Healthy Living Week allowed children to receive talks from local professionals e.g. the dentist,

school nurse and first aiders.

Lessons linked to sun safety, e-safety and germs were delivered throughout the school.

6

Healthy lunchbox leaflets were designed and distributed to encourage healthier food choices

within school.

During 2015 – 2016 the school will be continuing to maintain all of the above successes and begin to

develop new initiatives to focus on and celebrate.

With the success of the Green Flag the school has strived to maintain its commitment to environmental

education. Actions have included:

New School Council involved in the reviewing and formation of the new eco action plan and eco-

code.

Assemblies every half term focused on environmental education e.g. Litter.

Promoting drinking water within school to support learning.

School Council met with Tim Anfield from Sustrans to research sustainable transport and how

to promote ‘Walk to School’ week.

Two teachers have become involved in a Global Learning Partnership Network to support the

school with promoting the ESDGC curriculum thus supporting the children to think critically

about global issues and understand their role in a globally interdependent world.

Church.

- Winning a business ‘Enterprise Troopers’ award with the Welsh Assembly government for the

creation of a multiplication app that can be sold on Google Play.

- As part of a focus on economic wellbeing, Elaine Wilkes who works for ‘Exxon Mobil’ talked to

the children about being a chemical engineer. Design consultant, Angela Gidden MBE, also spoke

to the children about running a successful business.

- Workshops with businesses such as ‘Brace’s Bread’.

- Weekly ‘Family Learning’ sessions run by Deputy Headteacher, Miss Bodenham to help

parents/carers support their children with the English and mathematics curriculum.

In addition to her role as Deputy Headteacher, Miss Bodenham, has a non-class based role as Inclusion

Manager.

Overall, pupils are grouped according to age. However, additional criteria such as Special Educational

Needs and behaviour are also considered when organising classes.

Work for pupils is differentiated so that children with a variety of abilities within a class are

appropriately supported and challenged by activities aimed at their level and tailored to their needs.

This is clearly indicated in teachers’ planning on a weekly basis and is monitored by the Head Teacher.

Teachers must also develop pupils’ bilingual skills and their sense of ‘Welshness’.

The curriculum should seek to promote:

- the acquisition of knowledge

- the development of a wide range of skills

- understanding of key concepts

- the development of personal qualities

- positive values and attitudes

Bedwas Junior School aims to make cross-curricular links between subjects and areas of learning

wherever possible. The curriculum is organised into broad ‘themes’ to help us make these connections.

Knowledge, skills, concepts and attitudes are promoted through projects that attempt to cover all

National Curriculum attainment targets over the four years the pupils attend school. The school

implements the revised ‘Literacy and Numeracy Framework into the school curriculum.

Section 13:

Building and Resource Management

During 2014-15, there have been a number of changes made to the school building to create a more

child-friendly learning environment. These changes included:

1. The school canteen was redecorated and new display boards were purchased to advertise

healthy lunchboxes.

11

2. Redecoration of Yellow Class. This included plastering, installation of new windows, repainting

and the building of an additional learning area for Deputy Headteacher, Miss Bodenham.

3. Plastering and repainting of Orange Class. This also included building a purpose built cupboard,

and the purchase of new furniture and display boards to improve the classroom learning

environment.

Following refurbishment in 2011, the standard of hygiene in the school toilets remains high. Following

inspection by the local authority cleaning services, the school cleaning provision was identified as ‘gold’.

Standards of hygiene in the school kitchen have also been identified as ‘very good’.

Section 14:

Languages Across the Curriculum

Welsh is taught across the curriculum to all year groups. Recent developments in the teaching of

Welsh have included:

- Introduction of a new scheme of work for Year 3;

- Opportunities to develop incidental Welsh through Helpwr Heddiw sessions;

- Introduction of a Welsh sub-levelled skills ladder to support moderation and verification.

In addition to Welsh, all pupils are taught Spanish for an hour a week. Although not part of the

National Curriculum, the opportunity to learn a ‘modern foreign language’ supports a child’s learning by:

- Improving communication and general oracy skills;

- Developing knowledge of the world;

- Improve confidence;

- Raise awareness of languages which will create an appetite when they reach secondary school.

Our Spanish teacher, Carlos Pinatti was awarded ‘Primary Modern Foreign Language Teacher of the

Year’ award by CILT Cymru in 2014.

In 2015, the majority of Year 6 pupils

transferred to Bedwas High School. One

pupil transferred to St Martin’s

Comprehensive School.
