2013/14 Information Booklet

Princes Risborough School A Specialist School in Technology for 11 to 18 year olds.

CLASSIFICATION OF SCHOOL The school is an Upper School for boys and girls aged 11-18 years in the south of Buckinghamshire. It also has a specialised Communications Base for children with specific social, educational and communications needs.

On 1st September 2011 the school converted to an academy. This means that we are a limited company and not under the control of the local authority.

Students attend the school from the town of Princes Risborough and the surrounding area, which includes the villages of Longwick, Ilmer, Meadle, Kimble Wick, Marsh, Terrick, Great Kimble, Little Kimble, Butlers Cross, Monks Risborough, Bledlow Ridge, Saunderton, Bradenham, Loosley Row, Lacey Green, Walters Ash, Naphill and Speen, West Wycombe, Downley, Haddenham and Chearsley. We also attract many students from outside the immediate area. Princes Risborough School is committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of our students. All staff have undertaken a criminal records bureau check.

ADMISSIONS Admissions are made through the Education Department (Admissions) County Hall, Aylesbury. The Area Education Officer has recommended an admission figure of 180 students per year.

SCHOOL VISITS Parents are welcome to visit the school at any time but should telephone to make an appointment first.

Additionally the school is open during one morning and one evening of the autumn term to enable parents and children to visit, to see the facilities and to experience a typical day at Princes Risborough School.

The dates for the evening and morning visits for students and their parents considering transfer to secondary schools in 2013 are:

Tuesday 1st October from 5.00 - 8.00pm and Thursday 3rd October from 9.00 to 12.00am.

Students selected to attend the school at the age of 11 by the County’s selection procedure are invited to visit the school again with their parents. Arrangements are made for this in July each year in preparation for the September. Parents are informed of dates and times by

letters sent out by arrangement with each child’s Junior School Headteacher.

SCHOOL ORGANISATION The school is divided into Years 7-8 (Key Stage 3), Years 9-11 (Key Stage 4) and the Sixth Form (Key Stage 5). Students are allocated into vertical tutor groups which reflect the House that they are in. A two-year Sixth Form is available and offers a wide range of academic and vocational courses.

SCHOOL MEALS The school dining area is called The Hub. A variety of healthy hot and cold meals and snacks are available from The Hub before school, at break and at lunchtime. The price of a meal, including a pudding, is £2.00. The school operates a cashless system that students access using their thumbprint. Individual accounts are set up for every child and parents put money onto their account via the internet.

KEY STAGE 3 CURRICULUM In Years 7-8 all students follow a Key Stage 3 course designed to form the basis of a sound general education to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum. Subjects studied are:- - Art - Geography - Design Technology - History - Drama - Mathematics - English - Music - French - Science - Physical Education - Risborough Roots for Life-long Learning (or RR4LL: a skills and competency curriculum incorporating elements of Religious Education, PSHE and Citizenship)

Additionally, individual or small group music lessons may be arranged with visiting specialist teachers across a wide range of instruments. A termly charge is payable towards the cost of this tuition.

KEY STAGE 4 CURRICULUM The course for Years 9-11 is designed to provide a continuing and exciting education based on the foundations laid in KS3. Students, however, have some choice within certain limits determined by the school and by the constraints of the National Curriculum, as to which subjects they may wish to study.

The course includes; - English language - English literature - Mathematics - Science - Physical Education (Core)- RR4LL (incorporating elements of Personal, Social, Health & Careers Education and Citizenship)

Princes Risborough School A Specialist School in Technology for 11 to 18 year olds.

Plus two option subjects from; - Art - Drama - Geography - PE (GCSE Course) - Business Studies - French - History - Construction - Child Development - Dance - Music - Philosophy and Ethics- ICT - Design and Technology

All courses are validated by either GCSE or an alternative, equivalent, national qualification.

To help Yr8 students and parents make informed choices, the following procedures are planned:

(a) During February and March subject teachers will use lesson and assembly time to inform students of the nature of Key Stage 4 courses.

(b) Accompanying this, a prospectus outlining Key Stage 4 courses and choices will be sent home to allow discussion between parents and students.

(c) An options meeting or individual appointments as appropriate will be arranged in March/April to allow parent/staff discussions.

(d) Details of options selected are then returned to the school. Students will again be interviewed to discuss the options chosen.

PASTORAL CARE Princes Risborough School operates a Vertical Tutor system. A tutor group will comprise of four or five members of each year group, including sixth form. This creates a family ethos within the school. Every tutor group has a form tutor and a link tutor. Both are key figures in the pastoral care for students. Each tutor group is allocated to a House. Assemblies are held in Houses with the provision to hold additional special assemblies as and when necessary. During the year a number of inter-House competitions will be held.

SIXTH FORM COURSES The school runs Sixth Form courses which are both academic and vocational. Students can follow a selection of courses at ‘A’ Level & BTEC. The precise courses to be offered for the following September are set during the previous autumn term and are set out in the Sixth Form Prospectus, together with all entry requirements. Students are provided with an excellent Sixth Form education which will enable progression to University, College, further study or a career.

With regard to students selecting courses for the Sixth Form, discussions on an individual basis commence early in the spring term of Year 11 and parents are invited to attend an evening seminar for further information on the courses available and for individual counselling by the staff. Interviews are then held following the receipt of formal applications.

The Sixth Form has its own centre which is fully resourced. There is also a social area with a kitchen attached for the preparation of snacks and refreshments. Students may also choose to study one of a number of courses offered as part of the Sixth Form Consortium which operates across local schools.

SCHOOL REPORTS Your child will receive at least four reports on their progress each year. This will include information on target grades, predicted grade and current performance. There will be at least one opportunity to meet your child’s teachers each year.

EXAMINATION ENTRY Most students are entered for the public examinations during the latter stages of their Year 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 courses.

The school pays entrance fees for public examinations. In general the examination will be GCSE and BTEC at Year 10 and 11, and A Level or BTEC examinations in the Sixth Form. Entry for a particular examination is, in general, a required part of any course. On occasions it may be appropriate for students to take additional examinations in any subject on a voluntary basis. Parents are requested to make a voluntary contribution of the entry fee in such cases.

Full reports and consultation with parents regarding individual’s progress takes place before students are entered for external examinations.

HOMEWORK Research has shown that out of school learning (homework) is most effective where students understand its relevance to their learning and tasks are of an active or creative nature. Therefore, at Princes Risborough School, homework is set where it is relevant to programmes of study in order to extend and enrich learning.

Princes Risborough School A Specialist School in Technology for 11 to 18 year olds.

Types of homework will vary depending upon the subject and the students. This may include preparing for exams, informing target setting, research or preparing for lessons. Homework tasks, including extended project style activities, are recorded in students’ planners and, although there is no set homework timetable, parents are encouraged to take an active part in supporting their children’s out of school learning through the planner.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Religious Education is taught throughout the school and is incorporated in RR4LL during KS3 and KS4. The aim is to inform students of the Christian basis of our society and to allow for the study of other world religions, showing how these have contributed to modern world society. Over the course of 5 years at PRS a series of RE Deep Learning Days cover all aspects of the Bucks agreed syllabus. School assemblies are held throughout the week and some have an RE-based theme. Students may withdraw from assemblies and from Religious Education, provided that personal representation has been made to the Headteacher and Governors.

SEX EDUCATION Scientific details of human reproduction are taught to all students as a unit in their Year 7 Science course. This provides the opportunity, through discussion of feelings and values, to encourage a positive, responsible attitude towards relationships. Family relationships are also a part of the RR4LL programme of study.

In Key Stage 4 Science such areas are studied in greater detail. Opportunities for older students to discuss aspects of personal relationships and responsibilities arise in tutorial time. Similar opportunities arise in other subjects, most notably in English through the study of literature.

The Governors have discussed the question of whether sex education should continue in the school, as they are required to do under the 1986 Education Act. They have resolved that it is right that this aspect of the school’s work should continue and have approved a formal policy which states that:

“The physical aspects of sexual behaviour are taught within a clear moral framework which encourages students to develop an attitude of dignity and respect for themselves and others, together with an appreciation of the benefits of stable family life and the responsibilities of parenthood”.

GIFTED & TALENTED Students are identified as being ‘very able’ through a combination of test results and teacher nomination. Those identified will have ‘extension’ targets set and monitored. They will be involved in ‘Gifted & Talented’ days which will challenge and stretch them further.

In addition, they will have access to Enrichment activities specifically designed to broaden their educational experience. The school has in place mentoring systems designed to offer pastoral support to its most able students and pupils receive guidance on how they can access online services and activities.

SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS Help is arranged for students who are identified as having special educational need. Support is provided in some mainstream classes where appropriate. Some students are identified through regular monitoring and assessments as well as teacher or parent referral to the SENCO. Where appropriate, outside agencies may be consulted and involved.

In Key Stage 3, intervention programmes are implemented which enable students to improve their reading, spelling and maths. Parents are often closely involved with these schemes to ensure support of these interventions at home as well as at school. Class work is designed to meet the needs of all students to ensure they achieve their full potential.

The school has an Additionally Resourced Provision (ARP) for students with social and communication disorders on the autism spectrum. Whenever possible the students are integrated into mainstream school with support. All admissions to this resource are made by Bucks County Council.

INFORMATION, ADVICE AND GUIDANCE (Including Work Related Learning) Information, Advice and Guidance (including Work Related Learning) is compulsory for all students and includes support in Year 8 for choosing GCSE options. Work Related Learning is general in its approach and aims to bring students to the point where they can hold an informed and realistic conversation about themselves and their aspirations for the future.

When students require specific information about a particular career, they are to refer to a member of staff who has a particular responsibility for this and who can make relevant advisory material, books and pamphlets available. Further assistance and specific advice is available if students need to have individual interviews with a Careers Adviser.

Additionally, arrangements are made for students to receive talks from local and other employers. This has been found to be most effective when young employees, sometimes past students, join in discussion with students about their early working life experiences.

All students are given advice and information about the full range of courses available within the Sixth Form. Once in the Sixth Form extensive advice is given regarding universities, further education and work experience.

THE “HOUSE” SYSTEM The House system was introduced in 2005 to build upon the positive events being organised by the students across the school. There are six Houses with different vertical form groups allocated to a House. The Houses are named after local landmarks:

Chiltern, Pyrtle Spring, Icknield, Ridgeway, Cheqeurs and Whiteleaf.

The emphasis of our House system is very much on student involvement and the Sixth Formers who are elected as Head of House assume much of the responsibility for organising events, calling on other members of the Sixth Form and Year 11 to act as House Captains for individual activities. Whether by winning or just taking part in the many events that are run throughout the year, students have many opportunities to gain points for their House towards the overall House Competition. Students are also awarded House points for academic excellence, community work or any other action which has a positive effect on the school community.

Our House system engenders a sense of belonging to the school together with a spirit of friendly competition amongst our students and events are hotly contested.

SCHOOL ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES Between 12.00 and 1.00pm on Wednesday all students take part in one of over 50 Enrichment Activities. Options vary and currently include film making, falconry, sports, Scrabble, bee keeping, 3-D CAD, science clubs, history club, jewellery making, grub club, chess, music technology, web design, creative arts, Shakespeare,

bowling, St Johns lifesavers, Duke of Edinburgh Award, exploring faith, internationalism, sculpture

and public speaking.

SPORTING ACTIVITIES Sporting activities exist both at lunchtime and after school. In many sports teams compete highly successfully against other schools. These include netball, hockey, cross-country, rounders, athletics, soccer, rugby, tennis, cricket, basketball and volleyball. Extra-curricular trips to major sporting events are also arranged.

WORLD CHALLENGE World Challenge is a programme the school runs that enables students to travel to other parts of the world. While on the expedition, the students will work as a team to manage themselves and their itinerary while the adult leader’s role is that of safety and facilitation. It is this level of student responsibility that earns this programme the reputation of being the most powerful team building activity a young person can participate in. In July 2012 our World Challenge expeditions went to Swaziland in southern Africa. Students from Years 12 and 13 are involved and are currently raising money through a variety of methods from race nights to organising in-school events.

CYCLING British Cycling has awarded Princes Risborough School “Go- Ride” club status. As a result, we are able to provide regular coaching activities to encourage a wide range of pupils to participate in cycling. The school has teachers who have taken British Cycling’s Activity Coaching Award course.

The activities can be tailored to the age and abilities of the pupils involved and are designed to develop bike handling skills through fun games. The course forms part of the school’s Enrichment programme and bicycles have been purchased for use by participating students.

MUSIC, DRAMA AND DANCE The School Drama Club and School Orchestra stage productions each year and contribute significantly to the entertainment that the school provides for members of the community. We also run a highly successful Gym and Dance Festival which engages with other local schools, community, students and staff.

TRIPS Travel abroad is arranged at intervals and this has included ski instruction expeditions, holidays abroad, French Exchanges and visits to the war graves. A large number of more local trips also occur. Parents will be asked to contribute financially to make these visits viable.

BOOK CLUB The Learning Resource Centre, in many respects the focal point of learning resources within the school, has an emphasis not just on books but also on a wide range of Information Technology facilities. The LRC is well used, with an induction programme for new students, a software program that can guide students to selecting appropriate books, topical displays, competitions and quizzes. Our librarian and library assistants are always on hand to advise, guide and to encourage the best use of this important resource.

SCHOOL FUND CHARITY The school fund is a registered charity. Events are run and appeals are made to generate income for the charity. The funds are dispersed under the direction of the Trustees.

THE ROLE OF THE GUILD OF PARENTS The Guild of Parents works very closely with the school to raise funds for various projects. This can range from equipment to support the curriculum all the way through to a new school mini-bus. Guild of Parents meetings are very informal and if anyone feels that they would like to help, a warm welcome will be assured. Several members of the GOP also play an active role in the vertical tutoring structure.

CHARGING (a) Charging (a) Charging 1. The school is not permitted to charge for any educational activity organised during school time, with the exception of items 2, 3 and 4 below. However, the school wishes to continue to make available opportunities for its students which it views as desirable, but not essential to the curriculum. In these cases parents will be invited to meet the costs of an activity by voluntary contribution. If the level of contributions does not reach an acceptable total, the activity may be cancelled.

2. Students may be charged for all activities organised by a third party, whether or not the activity takes place in school hours. Students may also be charged for the board and lodgings element in any residential visit.

3. In lessons where a child is producing items of value (e.g. Technology) parents will be invited to indicate a wish to own completed items, and those so indicated will be charged either by an estimate of the value of materials involved or in kind being asked to provide ingredients or materials. No child will be prevented from taking part in such lessons if parents are unwilling or unable to meet the charge, but the finished items will then remain the property of the school.

4. The school may levy a charge for tuition in playing any musical instrument where such tuition is provided individually or to a group of not more than four students.

5. The school may make charges for activities taking place outside normal school session time as long as they are not provided as part of the syllabus for a prescribed public examination or are not required in order to fulfil statutory duties relating to the National Curriculum or to religious education.

6. The school will charge for examination fees where a student fails to fulfil the course requirements without good reason. It may also charge for entering a student for a public examination not prescribed in regulations or for preparing a student for such an examination outside school hours. The school will charge for re-sits of prescribed examinations where no further formal preparation has been provided by the school.

7. The school will charge parents for breakages and damage caused by deliberate action or other unacceptable behaviour on the part of their children.

8. The school may charge for certain materials which are considered to be over and above the curriculum requirements. Examples include high quality paint brushes and sketch books.

9. The school may invite contributions to help cover the cost of some text books and other materials. No student will be denied access to their curriculum text books.

(b) Remissions policy 1. Applications for remission of charges should be submitted to the Headteacher.

2. Any such applications will be dealt with by the Headteacher, in consultation with the Governors.

SCHOOL UNIFORM We believe that our students should look smart and professional. They will take pride in their appearance and in their school. Wearing of the uniform will be enforced and we ask parents for their complete support. The list below is intended to help parents know what is permitted in school and what is not.

FEEDING BACK TO THE SCHOOL It is a legal requirement that we inform you how you can make a complaint to the school. We would also like to say that complaints are extremely rare and that positive feedback is massively more common. Positive feedback and complaints can be submitted to the school by visiting our website where there is a formal Parent Communication Form.

POSITIVE FEEDBACK As an institution we strongly believe that positive feedback should be given at every opportunity. We believe that this is motivational and that success will breed success. It also complements our “Enjoy and Achieve” ethos. Accordingly, we welcome your feedback when we exceed your expectations or achieve something you deem worthy of attention. Please do write to the Headteacher or contact any member of the staff or Governors who will be delighted to share your positive views.

COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE WITH RESPECT TO SCHOOL CURRICULUM AND RELATED MATTERS It is a requirement that all schools have laid down procedures by which parents and others may make a complaint.

Complaints may be: (i) informal (ii) formal complaint to the Governing Body of the School The Governing Body, Headteacher and staff are open to any expressions of concern or complaint and would wish to respond positively and swiftly to resolve the issues.

PROCEDURE FOR MAKING A COMPLAINT Most complaints or potential complaints are resolved locally through discussions with the school staff, members of the Leadership Team or the Headteacher. All complaints should begin in this way. It is invariably more productive if any issue is raised informally in the first instance before escalating to a formal complaint.

INFORMAL COMPLAINTS 1. Any complaint should be made either to the relevant Key Stage Director or Head of Department. If that matter is still not resolved, contact a member of the Leadership Team. A written record of all complaints will be made together with the responses initiated; decisions made; reasons for them; action taken or proposed, including any requests made for those complained against to take particular actions to resolve the complaint; any further recourse available. All complainants will be kept informed of the investigations into the complaint and will be required to sign to indicate that they are satisfied with the settlement of the complaint. An interpreter will be available if required.

2. If the complainant is not satisfied with the handling of the complaint, he/she should write to the Headteacher initially. The complaint will then be handled as above.

FORMAL COMPLAINTS if the complaint cannot be settled informally by discussion with the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher a formal complaint should be made to the Chair of governors. The procedure outlined in the guidelines will then be followed.
