Governors’ Letter

Each year Governors present a report to parents which reviews the work of the

school over the previous academic year and identifies priorities for the next.

Governors are proud to present this report for the year 2014-2015

It is with great pleasure that I present this report from the Governors of Horniman Primary School to parents and carers. The report covers the academic year 2014/2015 which was the first full academic year of our new head teacher, Ms. Loffstadt and importantly, saw the introduction of the government’s new curriculum. The school staff and governors have worked hard to ensure the new curriculum is taught in a way which continues to reflect Horniman’s culture and ethos and is child focused. Following the Ofsted inspection in February 2014, Governors have taken the areas for improvement and scrutinised the school’s response to these. This has included robust data analysis of children’s progress, a review of the roles of the senior leadership team, support to further improve the quality of teaching and ensuring children have the opportunity in class to practice and respond to teacher marking. There has also been a focus on positive behaviour. Governors would again like to extend particular thanks to the ever enthusiastic PTA who once again have managed to raise a substantial amount of money which supports children at the school while also fostering a sense of community within the school. Horniman School continues to enjoy a close relationship with the Horniman museum with some performances being held there as well as school visits. We were also delighted to welcome Kirsten Walker, Director, Collections Management and Special Projects, from the museum to sit on our Governing Body as a co-opted member. We said goodbye also to two governors; Maggie Hammond, community governor for many years and more recently Sarah Briche, a parent governor for the last 7 years. Both have given their time, experience and expertise unstintingly to the school’s governing body and I would like to express my sincere thanks here on behalf of the whole Governing body. Early years and KS1 continue to do well, in many cases above national or Lewisham averages. Governors and staff recognise the need to focus on KS2 progress to ensure our children reach the potential of which they are capable. The Governors are confident that Horniman School continues to flourish and has ambition to achieve its challenging strategic targets while remaining a place where children love to learn. This report is late this year so while the academic year 14/15 is covered, we have also included some information from 15/16. I hope you find the report interesting and informative and, as ever, we welcome your comments.

Horniman Primary School: Ethos, vision and strategy 2016 and beyond Our principal role as a governing body is to set the strategic direction for the school and to ensure

clarity of vision and ethos. This document gathers together the work of the governing body and the

leadership team over the last couple of years in order to inform governing body decision-making

and school operations and sets the ethos, vision and strategy for the school for 2016 and beyond.

Our ethos

At Horniman Primary school we believe in the whole child. We understand that children are

individuals with different strengths and interests. Our role as a school is to support, encourage and

stretch our children academically across the full range of the curriculum, both during the school day

and as part of a rich offer of extended services and before and after school care.

Our ethos is based around ‘five keys to success’ which are important for opening up opportunities

for learning, and working together, and also for building strong life skills that help ensure a bright

future for all of our children through their own personal development.

Our 5 keys for achievement and social and emotional well-being feed into all aspects of school life

and are:

- Getting along - Organisation - Persistence - Confidence - Resilience

Our vision is for:

A small, friendly happy school that provides a safe, caring and nurturing environment in which children (and staff) can be creative and where every child has the opportunity to flourish.

A school where children, parents and staff are excited by learning and experiencing rich and enjoyable learning journeys through their time at the school.

A school that has high expectations of progress, attainment and behaviour, and children are always encouraged to work to the fullest extent of their capabilities in all aspects of the curriculum.

A school where children are given opportunities to try new things, to develop skills and interests, to engage in debate and discussion, and to extend their understanding of wider society and their role in it.

An inclusive school with equal opportunities for all.

A school that is part of its wider community, where parents and carers feel engaged and included.

A Strong pupil voice, where children are encouraged to contribute and to have a say in school life.

A school with a vibrant and progressive culture and climate of continuous innovation, working towards being a centre of excellence for teaching and learning.

A school that works in partnership / collaboration with other schools to develop our skills and expertise, and share good practice.

Horninman School Overarching Strategy

LEADERSHIP To ensure that the school has a strong and effective governing body and leadership team. To support all of the staff and volunteers at the school in helping deliver our vision and objectives. To work towards being an outstanding school.

To consolidate the school at its current size (1 form entry plus 2 bulge classes) and to keep the ‘small school’ feel that is valued by many.

To ensure that the school, parents and carers and the wider community all work together to support learning and progress through clear communication and sharing of knowledge. This will include appropriate levels of home learning, inviting others into the school at appropriate points (for assemblies, reading and workshops and other support), and to allow our children’s creative and other talents to be celebrated.

To support and encourage the Parent Teachers Association as a way of both fundraising for the school but also as a way of bringing the school community together and encouraging others to get involved in the school.

To encourage pupil voice through School Council and Class Councils, eco-committee, whole school debates, class and key stage assemblies, the radio shed, and other opportunities across the school.

To continue, and to further develop strong links with local schools and other schools that share a similar ethos and approach to learning.

TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT To continue delivering inclusive quality first teaching that focuses on the specific needs of each child. To deliver a broad and rich curriculum, covering all areas with interest and depth. This includes specialist teachers for areas such as music, sports, philosophy, art etc. To ensure that creative arts, music and sport feature strongly in the school experience. This includes opportunities for engaging in external activities and opportunities such as the Shakespeare in Schools Festival, inter-school and Borough level sporting events, musical events, etc. To organise the school, the way that we teach, and the way that we work together based on best practice and evidence based learning. To make sure the physical environment of the school is interesting and exciting and supports the learning experience. To ensure that children have the opportunity to extend their learning outside of school, through visits and links to other organisations, for example through the school’s strong links with the Horniman Museum and Gardens.

ACHIEVEMENT To strive towards excellent achievement for all of our children and to ensure that they make good progress in their time at Horniman. To help the children achieve to the best of their abilities in their time at the school and to secure excellent foundations for their next steps in education. To ensure that children do well in the core assessed subjects that underpin their access to and understanding of the broader curriculum, as well as in the rest of the curriculum itself. This includes supporting and stretching children at all levels to help ensure they are able to engage in school life.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, BEHAVIOUR AND WELFARE To use the 5 keys to success to underpin each child’s personal development and learning journey through primary school and beyond. Encouraging self-discipline, self-esteem and self-motivation.

To encourage physical activity, sports, gardening and healthy eating and to continue to build this into both the school year and through continuous development of the school grounds.

To deliver Forest Schools to all children during their time in key stage 1 as part of their day to day learning.

To help the children develop personal, spiritual and moral values, an understanding of different religious and cultural beliefs, and a tolerance for others and their ways of life.

To offer a broad mix of after school clubs, breakfast and after school clubs and holiday playschemes across all years of the school with consistent care and support.

Changes to Assessment:

In September 2014 the government introduced a new, national curriculum. The previous curriculum

introduced in 2000, utilised the national framework of Levels to measure attainment and progress.

Years 2 & 6 continued to be assessed throughout 2014-15 on previous curriculum and their KS1 &

2 SATs outcomes were reported as Levels, as they were a measure of the previous curriculum. For

all other year groups Levels became redundant with the new curriculum. The Government only

provides schools with a measure of attainment at the end of Key Stage 1 and 2 which is based on the

children meeting an ‘expected standard’. Schools have been left to develop their own systems of in-

house assessment to best support children, teachers and parents through the whole school.

The new curriculum stipulates which objectives are taught to children at each stage of their primary

schooling. From these we have created year group Bands. The bands set out assessment criteria

which correlate directly with these curriculum statements. Each band relates to the year group’s

outcomes:

Band R relates to: Early Years (reception) outcomes

Band 1 relates to: Year 1 outcomes

Band 2 relates to: Year 2 outcomes

Band 3 relates to: Year 3 outcomes

Band 4 relates to: Year 4 outcomes

Band 5 relates to: Year 5 outcomes

Band 6 relates to: Year 6 outcomes

This system was introduced throughout 2014-15.

Within each of the bands are four stages: Beginning, Developing, Secure and Secure with greater

depth. We would expect most children to achieve Secure in their year group-related Band by the end of

each academic year. Most children will be ‘Beginning’ within their Band by the end of the Autumn Term,

and ‘Developing’ by the end of the Spring Term.

This form of assessment is being introduced across all subject areas.

Next year (2015 - 2016) we need to:

o Continue to refine and embed the new assessment system in line with national

developments

o Ensure assessment policy reflects assessment system and National Curriculum

expectations

o Develop the school community’s understanding of the assessment system

o Develop peer to peer and self-assessment

Extended Services (clubs)

Our extended services provision continues to be rated highly by the school community as an

important element of our children’s school life; with a wide range of clubs being offered such as

Forest Schools, Ballet, Science, Multi-Skills, Choir and much more. The majority of clubs are full

with a waiting list; both Breakfast Club and After School Club are at full capacity on most days

causing our ad hoc service to be less accessible. In Spring 2015 we took on an additional member

of staff, Emma Evangelista, to enable us to meet the high demand.

Further to feedback a ‘Clubs Viewing week’ was introduced once a term. This gave parents the

opportunity to come into school during the prescribed week to get a snapshot of their child’s club.

During the week we asked parents to complete a questionnaire around their views on how well our

clubs are being run and give suggestions on how we can improve our services. The feedback

received was very positive and the majority of parents noted how pleased they were to be given

the opportunity to view their child’s clubs, getting a better insight of what they do. It was also noted

there was a high demand for a Street Dance Club, which we started in the Summer term.

Music tuitions continue to be very popular; Guitar is oversubscribed, Violin is at full capacity and

individual lessons were introduced as well as group sessions this year and Woodwind also

continued to do really well this year.

Horniman School Glossary for new Parents and Carers
