Message from the Chair of the Governing Body

I have been a member of the Governing Body of Huish for many years and during this time have seen the duties and responsibilities of governors grow considerably. Members of the Board, which includes representatives from parents, staff and the community, give voluntarily of their time and effort and are also Directors of the new Board. The introduction of Academy status has increased our responsibilities and further training of governors is being undertaken to enable us to meet the new challenges.

Huish Academy has a proud record in providing a broad and balanced curriculum for our 11 – 16 year olds and at Huish the concept that ‘Every Child Matters’ is a reality. The new 6th Form is now ‘up and running’ and has provided a new dimension to our education provision. Increased enrolments into Year 7 have proved the need for this continuing provision and the Academy is over-subscribed most years. The greater freedom in managing our own finances resulting from Academy status allows us to do the very best we can for all pupils. Assuming responsibility for the Leisure Centre provided yet another challenge; it is now running smoothly and has been established as a business in its own right allowing additional access for our pupils throughout the day.

The Principal and staff of the Academy, both teaching and support staff, work to benefit all pupils in their care to ensure that they all have the opportunity to fulfil their potential while at Huish and then progress to becoming lifelong learners.

Sue Wright, Chair of the Governing Body 2012-13


Admissions Policy 2013-14 Admission Arrangements for Transfer to Year 7 in September 2013 or joining a year group during 2013/14 academic year.

At Huish we strive to enable all our students to develop their potential to the full. We have high expectations of them and work hard to the provide support and opportunities they need in order to grow into confident and mature young people. Our academy is a safe and caring environment in which students are helped to develop individual responsibility and consideration for others, as they prepare for the challenges of adult life. To this end we have a very clear focus upon learning and upon academic achievement, which hold the key to future success and fulfillment.

These Admission Arrangements have been carefully developed to ensure that parents and students have all the necessary information required in order to apply for a place at Huish Episcopi Academy.

For the new year group starting in September we have a planned admission limit of 255 students in Year 7. This limit is set to ensure the Academy runs as efficiently as possible with the resources we have. If we have more requests for places than the number of places available the over subscription criteria below will be used to decide which children are offered places. For our September 2012 admission, we received 336 requests, of which 267 were successful.

Oversubscription Criteria Following the admission of any child/student with a Statement of Special Educational Needs naming Huish Episcopi Academy, Governors will consider all other applications. If the number of applications for admission exceeds the Published Admission Number (PAN), or admission limit for the year group concerned, the Governors will apply the following;

1) Looked after Children (Children in the care of a Local Authority) and children who were previously looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted, subject to a residence order or special guardianship order.

2) Children without a Statement of Special Educational Needs whose school placement has been identified

by a multi-agency professional team.

3) Children living in the catchment area (a map is available from the Academy office), with a sibling that has attended the Academy for a minimum of one full term.

4) Children living in the designated academy catchment area (a map of the catchment area is available

from the Academy office or to download from the Academy website)

or Children who attend one of the Academy‟s partner primary phase schools (Members of the Huish Community Learning Partnership): Charlton Mackrell C of E VC Primary School

Monteclefe C of E VA Junior School


Long Sutton C of E VA Primary School

High Ham C of E VC Primary School

Othery Village Primary School

Middlezoy Primary School

Huish Episcopi Primary School

Curry Rivel C of E VC Primary School

Curry Mallet C of E VC Primary School

Hambridge Community Primary School

Kingsbury Episcopi Primary School

5) Children living outside the designated academy catchment area, with a sibling at the school at the time of admission.

6) Children of staff who have been either;

a) employed at the Academy for at least 2 years before the date of application.

b) recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.

7) Children of UK Service Personnel.

8) Children living outside the designated academy catchment area.

A tie breaker will be applied where the Admission Number is reached part way through any oversubscription criterion and there is a need to decide which children meeting this criterion are to be allocated places and which are to be refused. A straight line measurement will be calculated between the “Address Point‟ of the home and the “Address Point‟ of the academy for each child falling within the criterion. Places will be allocated to those children living nearest to the academy according to a Geographic Information System (GIS) measurement. (See definitions).

The full Admission policy is available to download from the Academy website or a paper copy can be requested from the Academy office Offering and refusing places - A letter will be sent to you from the LA offering or refusing a place on Monday 6 March 2013 for the following September admissions. Refused places and appeals - If the Academy is unable to offer places to all those students who have applied you have the right to appeal to an Independent Appeal Committee. Information on how to appeal and the timetable for appeals will be sent out with the refusal letters and is also available on the Academy website or from the Academy office.

Students with disabilities We are a ‘disability friendly’ school being set almost entirely on one level. The whole school is built on a ‘single story’ basis with only a few steps and a wheelchair lift, which helps overcome this obstacle. Hearing loops have been installed in the main hall and foyer, automatic doors give access to the main building. We presently have on role students who have a range of disabilities. We especially welcome such students as they add to the diversity of our Academy. We have achieved the ‘Dyslexia Friendly Status’ Award. We are examining ways of increasing access still further for students with disabilities.


Details of our Accessibility Plan and information about our approaches to students with Special Educational Needs can be obtained from the school. However, we strongly suggest that you visit us and talk with the relevant staff.

Liaison with primary schools Mrs Robinson (Head of Year 7) spends time throughout the year in our partner primary schools meeting staff and getting to know the students well before they transfer to Huish Episcopi Academy. The primary students visit Huish Episcopi Academy on several occasions before transfer. They may come into the Academy for a treasure hunt; use the swimming pool, sports hall or gym; attend lessons and enrichment courses; take part in sports tournaments or galas and for an induction day.

Pupils with Special Educational Needs Students with Special educational needs are initially identified through close liaison with the primary schools. Students’ needs are also identified through the initial screening process of assessment and by teacher referral. The Academy is also very keen to listen to parents’ concerns and work in partnership with parents. Students identified as having additional needs are fully integrated within the Academy by use of additional resources, including staffing and facilities, following consultation with staff, parents and the student. All teachers are responsible for meeting the needs of all students with Special Educational Needs (as indicated by the revised Code of Practice) The Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (known as SENCO) will also liaise with outside agencies for the benefit of students identified as having Special Educational Needs. A sensitive approach, which instils confidence, motivation, pride and success in all students, is a fundamental philosophy of the learning support department.

Pupils Recognised as Lead Learners Huish Episcopi Academy is committed to providing an appropriate and challenging education to effectively meet the needs of its high achieving pupils, ensuring that the social and emotional needs of our Lead Learners are met, as well as their intellectual, physical and creative abilities. As an Academy we are dedicated to recognizing, promoting and celebrating pupils’ achievements and to raising standards; by focusing on the needs of the highest attaining pupils we can help to raise standards for all – ‘The rising tide floats all ships’.

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that gives students the opportunities to excel; our aim is to offer challenge to all students of all abilities. Strategies planned for and implemented in challenging our Lead Learners benefit our whole student population through our developing curriculum. Our highly qualified staff ensure that pupils’ learning is extended beyond the Key Stage 3, 4 and 5 National Curriculum and BTEC courses and we plan for differentiated lessons, extension tasks, acceleration, independent learning, enrichment activities, formative assessment and target setting. The Academy holds and regularly reviews a register of students recognized as Lead Learners. Students may be identified in individual academic subject or talent areas, or be recognized as having high academic potential. The identification strategy is inclusive and consideration is given to all students, including those who have Special Educational Needs and those who may be at risk of underachieving. Identification makes use of data from National Curriculum tests (SATs/CATs scores), as well as internal formative and summative assessments. However, identification also makes use of a wide range of evidence provided by staff, classroom observations, primary transfer records, parents, students and outside agencies. The identification process is intended to be flexible to take account of maturation – pupils’ abilities often develop over time and at different rates. Our aim is to provide a wide menu of learning opportunities where abilities and talents can be identified and developed, and we value an environment where students can take responsibility and ownership of their own learning and where their potential as Lead Learners is recognized and supported.


Enrichment Expeditions and Exchanges During each student’s career in the Academy there are numerous opportunities to study or make cultural visits locally, within the British Isles and abroad. Annual foreign exchanges are made with students from the Sillé le Guillaume School in Sarthe, near Le Mans. Language study trips are organised to France, Germany and Spain and field courses are an important feature of all students’ work in Geography. Other subject departments are keen to extend their students’ experiences e.g. the Science department frequently undertakes work at Bristol Zoo, the Art department to a range of galleries, and the Geography department, a visit to the Lulworth Cove in Dorset. Parents are notified of such visits well in advance and asked to contribute to the cost. A small sum of money is managed in the Governors’ Trust Fund to assist in meeting costs if parents are receiving certain categories of financial benefit.

Extra-Curricular Activities A great deal goes on each week, organised through the Academy itself or through Huish Leisure, our sports centre. Details are posted in tutor groups, on sports notice boards and announced in assembly. On the sporting side the following are available after school, depending on the season of the year:-

Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Cricket, Cross Country, Football, Gymnastics, Hockey, Multi-Gym Training (senior group), Netball, Rounders, Rugby Union, Squash, Swimming.

All students have their curriculum Physical Education lessons each week. Additional after school recreational and training sessions are available. A full range of fixtures against other schools is organised each term. Teams enter Area, County and National competitions in a wide range of sports. On the non sporting side, depending on the time commitment of staff, we have the following:-

Christian Union Club, Computers, Drama Club, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, Warhammer, Young Enterprise (Year 10), HEAT (Huish Environmental Action Team), Science Club.

Other activities arise following the enthusiasms of a particular teacher or group of students. In the area of music, groups include choir, Swing Band, Concert Band and Taiko Drumming. Facilities are available for students to pursue their own interests, such as vocal groups and rock bands. There are regular performing opportunities, some provided by the Music Department (Christmas Concert, Recital Concert, Spring Concert) and others arranged by students e.g. Stars in Their Eyes and ‘Huish Has Talent.’

Music - Instrumental Tuition

Instrumental tuition at Huish Episcopi Academy is provided by both private teaching staff and Music Skills. Joint or individual lessons are currently available on brass, strings, woodwind, keyboard, piano, voice, guitar (electric and acoustic), bass and drums. Whilst tuition does take place during the school day, care is taken to avoid core subjects and to also rotate the timetable to minimise disruption to learning


Assisted Purchase of Instruments The Academy now has in place a scheme whereby instruments can be purchased exclusive of VAT provided appropriate conditions are met.

Subsidised lessons The Academy currently subsidises all lessons. Families on income support and with free school meals entitlement will be eligible for free lessons provided the appropriate evidence is offered. In addition, it may be possible to give limited subsidy towards lessons on shortage instruments such as trombone, double bass, oboe, etc. In some cases the Academy will be able to lend such instruments free of charge, a saving over the hiring of instruments through Somerset Music. The costs per term per student available on request. It is expected that students join an ensemble of a suitable standard as soon as possible. It helps them play in tune and in time as well as giving them an opportunity to improve their sight reading.

Charges The Governing Body reserves the right to make a charge in the following circumstances for activities organised by the Academy: Academy Journeys in Academy Hours The board and lodging element of approved residential activities deemed to take place in Academy hours. Activities Outside Academy Hours The full cost to each pupil of all approved activities deemed to be optional extras taking place outside Academy hours. Individual Instrumental Tuition The cost to the pupil for providing any instrumental tuition as outlined in the above Enrichment section of this booklet. Charging in Kind The cost of materials, ingredients, equipment (or the provision of them by parents) for the following subjects: CDT, Science, Art / Craft. The Governing Body reserves the right to charge for ingredients and materials or require them to be provided if the parents have indicated in advance that they wish to own the finished product. For a copy of the detailed Charging Policy, please contact the Principal's PA, who will make the necessary arrangements.


General Information Huish Episcopi Academy

‘Six Golden Rules’

We take responsibility for our behaviour in all areas of the Academy We arrive on time and line up quietly We bring appropriate equipment to every lesson

We listen and respond with respect to staff and each other, following ALL instructions We work to the best of our ability to meet our targets grades (this includes extended and weekly

homework tasks) We always wear our uniforms smartly

Rewards and Planners

All students are issued with a bespoke planner at the beginning of the academic year. The aim of the planner is to aid and support students’ organisational skills, as well as providing a daily form of three-way communication between students, teachers and parents. The planners have also been designed to provide the framework for the Academy’s reward system that recognises our Academy’s six golden rules (see above). Each year group has a unique set of rewards for a given number of stamps. The rewards for each year group are chosen by the Student Council in consultation with tutor groups. These stamps are awarded by members of the teaching and support staff when a student fulfils the Academy’s six golden rules during a lesson. Extra stamps can also be gained by students for additional positive contributions to the Academy. The planners and the reward system are an integral part of every lesson and every day at Huish. To support this, tutors monitor and sign the weekly diary page during p.m. tutorial every week. Parents/Carers are also expected to sign this weekly diary page each week. If a planner is lost a replacement can be purchased from the Academy shop.

Discipline and Rules

It is our belief that parents wish their children to attend an Academy which is well structured, well organised, well disciplined and where there is a strong premium on learning. To this end we seek to be firm, fair and consistent, and aim to encourage all students to develop self-discipline and to behave positively at all times. The Academy operates a series of consequences to ensure that this happens. These consequences are displayed in all teaching spaces.

Our rules are simple and are embedded in the principle that all students should show consideration for one another at all times. Students may not leave the premises at lunchtime without special written permission. Students who disregard the above, or who show insufficient effort in their work may be detained after school for extra work. In such cases parents are informed in writing well in advance.

There is ample opportunity for students to accept positions of authority and responsibility within the Academy. Academy prefects are selected at the end of their Year 10 to become full prefects in Year 11. Students in Years 10 and 11 act as Form Friends to students in Years 7 and 8. All year groups elect Year Council Representatives who will put forward their views at Year Council meetings. A copy of our behaviour policy is available on request.


Homework All students are expected to do homework in most subjects according to the timetable drawn up at the start of the Academy year. The type of work set and its frequency will depend on the subject, plus the age and ability of the students. GCSE and different methods of assessment have meant that students have to be able to complete long-term projects as well as short tasks. They therefore, need to learn early in their Academy career the need for self-discipline and the organisation of time. Students in Year 7 to 9 will be set weekly homework in Maths, Science and Modern Foreign Languages. The time spent by any individual will vary. However, Year 7 and 8 students are expected to spend between 20-30 minutes per subject per night, Year 9 students 30-40 minutes per subject per night. In addition to weekly homework, students will be set longer extended learning tasks in English, History, Geography, Music, ICT and Design Technology. These allow students to investigate a particular aspect of a subject in more depth, as well as allowing students to develop their organisational skills further. Recently extended learning tasks have begun to focus students on particular learning skills, such as research, thinking and presentation skills in Year 7. This is in order for students to continue to develop into independent learners. The changing emphasis of the extended learning tasks will roll out as the current Year 7 progress through to Year 9. Individuals will be expected to spend 3 hours on each extended learning task. Timetables of both weekly and extended homewwork tasks are given to students at the beginning of the Academy year. Parents are encouraged to contribute to their children’s academic progress by giving support for the work brought home and by ensuring a good environment in which the work can be done. A homework timetable for Year 7, 8 and 9 is issued to students and parents at the start of each academic year. In Years 10 and 11, a GCSE Coursework/Controlled Assessments calendar and a homework statement are issued to parents.

Academic Monitoring

Academic monitoring is about helping every student to have high expectations of what he or she can achieve and giving time to motivate, support and praise them. It is about helping them to appreciate their potential, monitor their progress and understand what they have to do to move forward in their learning. While the subject teacher will support the student and monitor progress in their subject, it is the form tutor, supported by the Head of Year who has oversight of the students’ progress across all subject areas.

Form teachers support students in reviewing their academic progress throughout the year. Using relevant data they help students to understand their potential across all subjects and be a facilitator in a conversation which will help students to celebrate their successes, identify areas of difficulty and set targets for improvement. After the meeting with the form tutor the students will record their targets and other relevant data in their planners.

All students will be given a minimum target level/grade for each subject. This is the least that would be expected of them by the end of the Key Stage and it is hoped that most will exceed this target. They will also be given a challenge target, which might change upwards as the student progresses through the Key Stage. This is an aspirational target to encourage the student to have high expectations. All reports and reviews show these targets and subject teachers will report whether the student is on or off target.

This process will:

Make the idea of high expectation a reality for all students resulting in higher attainment for all. Encourage students to take more responsibility for their own learning and develop the self-evaluation

skills that lead to setting of targets and independent, self-directed study to achieve these targets. Help us to provide early intervention and support for students who are falling behind or

underachieving.


Safeguarding

The Academy has a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of all our students. All staff and governors receive induction and regular training in child protection so they understand their roles and responsibilities and are aware of the procedures to be followed where they have concerns about the welfare of a child. There is a Safeguarding Children and Young People policy in place and parents and carers are welcome to read the policy on request. Our designated Child Protection Person is Mrs Mythen and the deputy Child Protection Person is Mr Merrick-Wren. The link governor for Child Protection is Dr Michael Richards.

Academy’s Privacy Notice Data Protection Act 1998

We, Huish Episcopi Academy, are the Data Controller for the purposes of the Data Protection Act. We collect information on pupils and parents and/or carers, and may receive information about pupils and parents and/or carers from previous schools. We hold this personal data and use it to:

support your teaching and learning; monitor and report on your progress; provide appropriate pastoral care, and assess how well your school is doing.

This information includes your contact details, national curriculum assessment results, attendance information, characteristics such as ethnic group, special educational needs and any relevant medical information. We will not give information about you to anyone outside the school without your consent unless the law and our rules permit it. We are required by law to pass some of your information to the Local Authority (LA), and the Department for Education. If you want to see a copy of the information we hold and share about you then please contact Mrs J. Smith in the Main Office – 01458 250501.

In addition

Once you are aged 13 or over, we are required by law to pass on certain information to the provider of youth support services in your area. This is the local authority support service for young people aged 13 to 19 in England. We must provide the address of you and your parents (and your date of birth) and any further information relevant to the support services' role. However, until you are aged 16 or older, your parent(s) can ask that no information beyond your name, address and date of birth (and their name and address) be passed on to the youth services provider. This right transfers to you on your 16th birthday. Please inform Mrs J. Smith in the Main Office if you wish to opt-out of this arrangement. For more information about young peoples’ services, please go to the Directgov Young People page at www.direct.gov.uk/en/YoungPeople/index.htm or the LA website shown above.
