PSHE Curriculum Statement Intention At Captain Webb our aim is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering curriculum that allows them to develop as confident responsible citizens equipped with the skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever changing world, both in the present and the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives. We constantly provide enrichment opportunities (memorable experiences) to engage learners and develop their cultural capital which has been recognised as essential if children are to succeed. We believe that our children should not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, foster a love of learning and leave our school with exceptional independent learning skills. We are fully committed to developing each child's unique potential within a secure and caring environment. We use our Captain Webb Values to promote positive attitudes to learning: Listen Encourage Achieve Respect Nurture Our PSHE curriculum develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills which will enable children to access the wider curriculum. It also, prepares them to be global citizens now and in their future roles within a global community. It promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils, preparing them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences for later life. Our Relationships and Sex Education enables our children to learn how to be safe, and to understand and develop healthy relationships, both now and in their future lives. Implementation EYFS - In the Foundation Stage, PSHE and citizenship is taught as an integral part of topic work and is embedded throughout the curriculum. The objectives taught are the Personal, Social and Emotional Development statements from ‘Development Matters in the EYFS’ and the PSED Early Learning Goals. Reception also uses the Jigsaw Scheme of Work materials. (See below) Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 - At Key Stage 1 and 2, pupils are taught PSHE using ‘Jigsaw’ which is a spiral, progressive scheme of work, covering all of the above and aims to prepare children for life, helping them to know and value who they are and understand how they relate to other people in this ever-changing world. There is a strong emphasis on emotional Literacy (having self-awareness and recognition of your own feelings and knowing how to manage them), building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health. It includes mindfulness to allow children to advance their emotional awareness, concentration and focus. We teach about different kinds of relationships, including same sex relationships, and gender identity because it is important that our children should have an understanding of the full diversity of the world they live in and be prepared for life in modern Britain. The Sex Education aspects of PSHE are also taught through the ‘Jigsaw’. Alongside this in KS2 children have access the Expect Respect materials, which focus on healthy relationships and also deals with sensitive issues such as domestic abuse. PSHE also identifies links to British Values such as the rule of law and democracy. SMSC taught throughout the Jigsaw scheme of work and ensures that the development of children’s values plays a significant part in their ability to learn and achieve. To develop our pupil’s cultural capital at Captain Webb, we have visits from the local emergency services, Fire brigade, Lifeguards, Police and the RAF. We also give the children the opportunity to have visitors from Crucial Crew, Star, NSPCC to learn about ‘PANTS’ and ‘Helping hands. The children also get to experience other cultures by visiting places of worships to see how we are all different. All of these helps our children to experience the essential knowledge that they need to prepare them for their future success. PSHE is taught, every Monday morning throughout the whole school, through Jigsaw’s six half termly themes with each year group studying the same unit at the same time. The knowledge and skills of each unit progresses through each year. Autumn 1: Being Me in My World Autumn 2: Differences (including anti-bullying) Spring 1: Dreams and Goals Spring 2: Healthy Me Summer 1: Relationships Summer 2: Changing Me (including Sex Education) Impact The impact of following this programme will be that the standards of attainment across the school will meet or exceed those which are expected of our children nationally. We continuously assess the implementation and impact of our PSHE curriculum in order to achieve the highest outcomes possible across all year groups and ensure we provide the support that is necessary for all children to achieve. Through our PSHE curriculum, we believe we can enhance children’s education and help them to become caring, respectful, responsible, and confident individuals and citizens. By the time our children leave our school they will: be able to approach a range of real life situations and apply their skills and attributes to help navigate themselves through modern life be on their way to becoming healthy, open minded, respectful, socially and morally responsible, active members of society appreciate difference and diversity be able to understand and manage their emotions be able to look after their mental health and well-being be able to develop positive, healthy relationship with their peers both now and in the future. understand the physical aspects involved in RSE at an age appropriate level have respect for themselves and others. have a positive self esteem PSHE Policy 2024-2025 PSHE Skills and Knowledge Progression Plans 2024.25

Reading Curriculum Statement Reading Curriculum Statement Intent At Captain Webb, we value reading as a key life skill and are dedicated to enabling our pupils to become lifelong readers. We want all of our children to be confident fluent readers who read widely, read often, read for pleasure and read to learn. We want them to be exposed to a variety of literature, genres and authors. We believe that the teaching of reading is integral to a child’s understanding and appreciation of the world around them. We aim to provide children with experiences that will lead to rich language development so that at the end of their primary education with us, they are empowered with a breadth of vocabulary that they can build on in their future prospects. Our reading curriculum strives to foster a love for reading and we believe that that all children should experience an abundance of quality, engaging texts across the curriculum. We want reading to be the golden thread running through a child’s journey at Captain Webb. When they leave us, we want pupils to possess the reading skills and love of literature which will help them to enjoy and access any aspects of learning they encounter in the future. Implementation (Planning an inclusive curriculum). Our inclusive knowledge-based curriculum plans for success. We teach the National Curriculum, supported by a clear skills and knowledge progression. This ensures that skills and knowledge are built on year by year and sequenced appropriately to maximise learning for all children. This enables our pupils to know more and remember more. End points within objectives are identified for each year group through a whole school reading progression plan. Please click the link below for further information. We feel passionately that developing a love of reading from an early age will benefit our children hugely: personally, socially and educationally. Therefore, reading is at the heart of everything we do. Through the use of carefully chosen texts, we expose our children to literature that will spark their passions and develop a love of English. Click the link below to find out the rationale behind our Reading curriculum. Phonics & Reading Through the delivery of our reading curriculum we ensure a consistent and robust teaching and learning of early reading and phonics in the Early Years and Key Stage One, so that pupils are able to read with increased speed and fluency and access the wider curriculum. We follow the Read, Write Inc Phonics programme; a systematic, synthetic phonics scheme that is validated by the Department for Education. Skilled staff deliver daily sessions to ensure rapid progression. Children’s progress through the scheme is assessed continuously to ensure that gaps are addressed quickly and effectively. Books that children read match their level of phonetic knowledge. Skilled reading depends on both fluency and phonic knowledge alongside language comprehension. For more information on the teaching of Phonics, please click on the link below which will transfer you to our Phonics curriculum page. Reading Knowledge and Skills 24 - 25 Whole School Reading Spine 24 - 25 Phonics Curriculum Once children have graduated from the RWI scheme, and are able to decode accurately and speedily, reading a lot is the principal way they develop as readers. Putting in the ‘reading miles’ allows pupils to practise their reading, building experience with increasingly complex texts, encountering new knowledge, gaining new language, including vocabulary, and developing their fluency. Over the course of year 2 and into key stage 2, the focus of the teaching of reading therefore shifts from decoding towards ensuring pupils get this print experience and support with spoken language, both through teacher-led whole class reading sessions and independent reading. Children explore a broad range of challenging texts including fiction, non-fiction and poetry by having purposeful and in-depth discussions with the teacher and their peers to enable them to access the vocabulary, themes and content. Please click on the Year 2 and KS2 reading long term overview below to find out more about the texts your child will be reading. Year 2 & KS2 Reading Overview KS2 Reading Learning Sequence Book Warmers At the beginning of our reading units, we explore the main themes, contexts and background information to help the pupils have a foundational understanding of the text before they begin reading. For example, when the text was written, any settings / countries the text takes place and any cultural and social conventions that may be outlined within a text. These introductory sessions are called 'book warmers' and the pupils have an opportunity to read facts and information about the text as well as use iPADs to access QR codes that link to webpages to further videos and explanations. Most importantly, the book warmers will introduce the pupils to tier 3 vocabulary (subject specific words) that they will come across in subsequent lessons. Vocabulary Lab The teaching of vocabulary is at the forefront of all our daily reading lessons. Tier 2 and tier 3 vocabulary is identified within texts and definitions are provided with picture examples to enhance pupil's understanding of these words. The vocabulary is explored and discussed as the pupil's read to enhance pupil's language development and comprehension. Teaching Prosody All reading sessions focus on improving reading fluency and pupils will listen to the teachers read aloud with expression and intonation. The pupils are taught prosody through a variety of fluency strategies such as echo read, choral read and reader's theatre. They have daily opportunities to re-read the text on their own or with a partner. Fluent and expressive reading (prosody!) is inextricably linked to comprehension. Why? Because prosody helps children build a more complete and accurate picture of what’s being conveyed on the page. How we adapt the pace, emphasis, phrasing and intonation of our reading helps communicate the broader and deeper meaning of what we read. Recent research from the EEF backs this up, finding that prosodic reading improves a child’s comprehension and overall literacy achievement in school. The pupils also have an opportunity to re-read the text at home as part of their reading homework. Understanding of the text On day 1 of our 2 day sequence, the teacher ask questions and models thought processes as they read to enhance pupil's comprehension. The dialogic talk between the adult and pupils is a priority for this session, the teacher explicitly teaches comprehension skills relevant to the extract. These specific comprehension skills are taught using VIPERS reading domains (vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval and summary) On day 2 of our sequence, the teacher models the answering of written comprehension questions based on the extract they have previously read on day one. Teachers plan questions focusing on mixed domains. Pupils complete the questions independently. Quick Quiz and Summarise The reading lessons also include quick quizzes with the focus predominantly upon the quick recall of key facts/key information. (retrieval questions) The pupils talk with a partner to talk about what has happened, what they already know and summarise any key events or facts. Daily Story Time We place reading at the heart of the curriculum, so it is prioritised allowing pupils to access the full curriculum offer. All pupils receive daily story time sessions with an adult modelling fluency and intonation. The pupils listen to a wide range of stories that have all been carefully selected and chosen for their year groups. All texts are outlined in our whole school reading spine, at the top of this webpage. Puffin Keeper Book Warmer Reading for Pleasure Embedding a school culture that values and supports reading for pleasure is extremely important to us. Pupils develop a love of reading; a broad knowledge of authors and understand more about the world in which they live to widen their horizons and raise their aspirations. To enable this, we set aside time for pupils to enjoy and read books independently, discuss texts they are reading and share recommendations. The love2read session is timetabled for all classes once a week and also sets time for pupils to visit our newly refurbished school library. The children can enjoy the freedom of enjoying texts in a tranquil, child centred environment. All classrooms have attractive book corners where the children have access to 100 quality books, both fiction, non-fiction and poetry books to help embed their love of books, stories and reading. Around school, you will find displays which celebrate authors - including our author of the term displays, pupil’s favourite books, authors and recommended reads. Reading across the curriculum Reading is prioritised across our broad and balanced curriculum allowing pupils to read and understand all subjects. Pupils are also expected to read in other subjects to access new information and build their subject knowledge. This reading will also contribute to reading miles and fluency. All subject areas have a recommended text list for all year groups attached to their subject curriculum map. Poetry and Rhymes Through sharing, reading, writing and performing rhymes and poems, we aim to build children’s emotional connection to language and the world around us. Poems are used throughout our curriculum to develop vocabulary, fluency and prosody, imagination and empathy. We also encourage children to review poetry – to form opinions about their own likes and dislikes and to understand and explain their preferences and respect the thoughts and feelings of others. We are committed as a school to developing a love of reading and to reading aloud each day. Alongside our class reading texts, we have four class poetry books to be shared throughout the year. Of course, teachers can add to the core books to further develop children’s exposure and enjoyment of poetry. We have identified a core set of poems for each year group. Each year group will learn by heart poems to be performed for assembly or to be shared with parents or visitors. Children will also be encouraged to revisit poems previously learnt. Each year group will also study a varied selection of poems during guided reading lessons, where vocabulary and meaning can be explored and explained, together with the development of children’s wider reading skills. Poetry also forms part of our writing curriculum and each year group has different forms of poetry to explore and create. This allows children the opportunity to learn more about particular structures of poetry and allows them to write their own poems using a wide range of poetic devices. Children are encouraged to perform their own poetry alongside the poems learnt by their year group. We also seek opportunities throughout the year for children to watch or hear poets reciting and discussing their own work. Please see our Poetry Curriculum Map for further information. Poetry Curriculum 24 - 25 Assessment At all stages, reading attainment is assessed to ensure that gaps are addressed quickly and effectively so that pupils’ progress is accelerated. Targeted support and intervention for reading is a priority – we have a dedicated reading team who ensure any child falling or a risk of falling behind their peers is identified. RWI Fast Track tutoring breaks phonics into small steps to support every child with decoding, including those with SEND. There is a sharp focus on ensuring pupils gain fluency and phonic knowledge alongside language comprehension as modelled by the Scarborough Reading Rope (2001). In KS2, reading fluency is assessed at the beginning of each half term using oral reading fluency (ORF) measures. ORF assessments measure reading rate and accuracy and are expressed in terms of the number of words read correctly per minute (wcpm). On average, pupils should read at least 90 words per minute. Any pupils who require further support with their reading fluency are provided with additional reading practice. During this interventions, the pupils re-read passages using strategies such as echo read and timed reads. Our aim is to ensure all pupils leave our school fluent, confident readers as we know oral reading fluency has consistently been found to have a high correlation with reading comprehension. During whole class reading sessions, formative assessment takes place daily, while termly summative assessment takes place in the form of NFER testing which allows analysis of gaps in comprehension knowledge to be quickly addressed. All pupils are also assessed on their reading of the common exception words for their year group. Please see the spelling curriculum page for these word lists. How do we enrich the curriculum? Book recommendation boards are displayed throughout school to inform pupils of new and popular texts across the age ranges. The children are given the opportunity to loan these books from Mrs Passey and write reviews on these books for our school newsletter. At Captain Webb, we also have a range of opportunities within the academic year to further enhance reading opportunities for our children. Regular trips to the local library, engaging with national reading events including World Book Day, Roald Dahl Day and National Poetry day. Each year we invite external theatre companies into school to deliver whole school productions and drama workshops for our pupils, recent examples of which are Christmas Carol and Jack and the Beanstalk. We have also had Dance workshops based on 'Bringing Books to Life'. Year 3 story focus was Charlie and the chocolate factory, Year 4 focus was Alice in Wonderland and Year 5 focus was The Jungle Book. How can you help your child? EYFS and KS1 To support their reading journey your child will bring home two books home. The first book will be a fully decodable book matched to your child’s phonic knowledge. When your child is in the early stages of learning to read you can help by encouraging them to sound out the letters in words and then to ‘blend’ the sounds together to make a whole word. Please refer to the Phonics Curriculum page on the school website for further support on early reading strageties. The second book will be a picture book for you to share at bedtime. This is an opportunity to share a love of reading with your child, talk about the story and offer opinions. KS2 All pupils in KS2 will bring home a copy of their whole class novel to read at home. The class teacher will provide information in regards to homework expectations for reading the guided reading text. E.g. We would like you to read chapters 1 – 3 tonight. We also encourage all pupils to loan books from our school library to enjoy at home. In response to a recent parent's survey, we will also be sending home an additional text from our 100 books for our pupils to read at home. The school’s Homework Policy states that all children are expected to read at home every day. This is for a maximum of 10 minutes. Reading regularly at home helps to develop children’s reading skills. Making the time to talk to your children about the books they choose and listening to them reading aloud regularly can make all the difference. Children need to understand why we read. They need to experience the range of feelings that a book can create or the power that can be gained from accessing information. Reading must not only be confined to stories. Many children love reading comics, magazines, newspapers, information books and poetry. All of these reading activities should be encouraged. Children in Key Stage 2 will all be at very different stages of development, but even for the most fluent readers there is a need for parental support. Most parents or carers are able to create quality time to share a book individually with one child. This is the time when children can develop a much deeper understanding of the books that they are reading. Rather than reading at home being ‘reading practice’, it should extend and enrich the reading experiences of school. One of the most powerful ways in which parents can do this is to show real enthusiasm themselves. Your sense of excitement about books and stories, your anticipation about what will happen next in a story and a discussion about your own likes and dislikes, will greatly influence your child. Teachers will check the Home School Reading Record daily and record for our end of term reading rewards including books, book vouchers or an author visit . This year we celebrated National Poetry Day with a very special guest. A well-known poet called James Carter. He worked with all year groups to create different types of poetry including rhyme, similes, kennings and cinquains. Please see the video clips below of our wonderful work. Impact By the time children leave Captain Webb, they are competent readers who can recommend books to their peers, have a thirst for reading a range of genres including poetry, and participate in discussions about books, including evaluating an author’s use of language and the impact this can have on the reader. They can also read books to enhance their knowledge and understanding of all subjects on the curriculum, and communicate their research to a wider audience. ‘I go to Phonics every day to learn my sounds. I can now read words and I’ve just moved to Yellow phonics books.’ – Year 1 pupil. ‘I’ve read many books since I’ve been at Captain Webb. Some of my favourite texts are Stig of the Dump by Clive King, Harry Potter by JK Rowling and Street Child by Berlie Doherty.’ –Year 6 pupil. ‘This year, I’ve enjoyed reading lots of different non-fiction texts. I’m currently reading a non-fiction text on the heart and circulatory system which has helped me answer questions in Science.’ Year 5 pupil. Attainment in reading is measured using statutory assessments such as the end of EYFS and Key Stage 2 and following the outcomes in the Year 1 Phonics Screening check. Assessment data shows that.. 90% of children passed the Year 1 Phonics Screening check in 2023. 72% reached ARE at KS2 with 28% reaching greater depth. The impact of this implementation was also noted in our 2019 OFSTED: The teaching of reading is done very well. Staff are trained in how to teach phonics and daily routines and systems make sure everyone gets what they need. Whether reading in class or at home, staff check that pupils have books they understand. If any pupil needs a helping hand, adults find extra time straight away and this stops them from falling behind. As pupils’ confidence grows, teachers introduce them to new books and authors. Most days, teachers read to the class during ‘page-turner time’. They encourage pupils to talk about books and share their views. Reading Policy 24-25

Spelling Curriculum Statement Spelling at Captain Webb Learning to spell has strong links with reading and writing. In reading, the children’s knowledge of the relationship between letters and sounds sets the foundations for them as spellers. Spelling is also a significant aspect of the writing element within the curriculum. If we want children to become confident writers, a strong understanding of spelling and spelling patterns is crucial. As stated in the National Curriculum (2014), it states that ‘Writing down ideas fluently depends on effective transcription: that is, on spelling quickly and accurately through knowing the relationship between sounds and letters (phonics) and understanding the morphology (word structure) and orthography (spelling structure) of words.’ At Captain Webb, we have adopted a whole-school approach to spelling that builds as the children move through the school. Read Write Inc Spelling In years Reception and Year 1 spelling is taught through RWI Phonics. The children in years 2 to 6 have daily spelling sessions which follow the Read Write Inc spelling programme. This programme follows on from the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme with the aim of getting every child to spell effortlessly. It is a standalone programme that has been designed to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum. . There is a daily teacher led spelling session of around 15–20 minutes. Children are assessed during the programme. There are Practice Tests which assess children’s spelling progress using the same format as the statutory assessments in England. This allows us to track individual children’s progress and identify units, words or concepts which we will need to re-teach. How does this programme support your child in learning to spell? RWInc Spelling is an interactive programme which teaches spellings in a fun and engaging way. Each unit is introduced with a short video. It helps children to learn spellings with common patterns and uses rules in order to help them recall spellings as well as teaching exceptions to these rules. A short video to show RWI Spellings in practice. https://youtu.be/CuLGvjOTk6A Daily Sessions consist of: Speed spell which tests children’s knowledge of words from previous units; Spelling Zone with an online introduction to the unit and rules and spelling patterns to be taught that week Dots and Dashes where children count phonemes and the recorded graphemes Rapid Recap of prior learning Word changes –by adding beginnings or endings to words (prefixes and suffixes) Words to Log and learn which helps children to log and learn new or unfamiliar words focusing on spelling patterns and rules. Rules are reviewed and practised through each unit until children can apply the rules in their own writing. Team teach and Four-in-a-row which help children assess their own progress; Jumping red/orange words which tests children’s knowledge of red and orange words (words from the word lists in the National Curriculum in England many of which are not able to be spelt by using sounds- these are often called the common exception , tricky words or High Frequency words). Challenge dictation sentences are available to challenge children to use new spellings. Below, you will find the words banks for each unit of the spelling programme so you can print these and look at them at home with your child. Your child's class teacher will be able to let you know which spelling list they are currently working on at school. Year 2 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 3 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Read More Year 4 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 5 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 6 - Spelling Word Banks Handy Tips for Supporting Your Child with Spelling Practise spelling common exception words regularly. (Known as Red and Orange words) Revisit spellings from previous weeks. Ask your child to explain the rule for the week and get them to give you example words so that you can build up a word bank that can be referred to frequently. Make a note of the high frequency words which you notice your child is spelling wrong (remember that these are quite often RED WORDS and that you ‘Can’t fred a red!’) Play homophone games where you give them a word like right/write and they write you both spellings and show you on the sounds chart which graphemes they would choose to spell them right! Make sure they know which one is which! Play hold a sentence dictation where you give the child a short sentence with one of their spellings in which will help them to understand the meaning of the word and spell and punctuate correctly. Supporting Your Child’s Spelling at Home To help you to support your children at home with their spellings on a weekly basis, the children will be given 6-8 spellings from the unit they are currently on which will follow a set pattern. They will be tested on these at the end of the week. In addition to these your child will also be given 6 red or orange words to learn from the National Curriculum word lists which are words the children are expected to know for their age range.

Cultural Capital What is a Cultural capital? Cultural capital is the accumulation of knowledge, behaviours, and skills that a pupil can draw upon and which demonstrates their cultural awareness, knowledge and competence; it is one of the key ingredients a student will draw upon to be successful in society, their career and the world of work. Cultural capital promotes social mobility and success in our stratified society. Cultural capital gives a student power and it helps them achieve goals, become successful, and rise up the social ladder without necessarily having wealth or financial capital. Cultural capital is having assets that give students the desire to aspire and achieve social mobility whatever their starting point. Our Cultural Capital At Captain Webb Primary School, our curriculum is designed to instil high aspirations in all of our children and to encourage them to become resilient, life-long learners who embrace challenges and continue to grow and develop their cultural capital. Our children will be inspired to follow whichever path they choose whilst being well-rounded, conscientious global citizens. Our 6C values, understanding of SMSC and British Values enrich and underpin our curriculum to ensure Captain Webb children are prepared and equipped to succeed in their futures in an ever changing world. “Education for global citizenship helps enable young people to develop the core competencies which allow them to actively engage with the world, and help to make it a more just and sustainable place.” - Oxfam.org.uk We are working hard to be Global Citizens at Captain Webb Primary School.

Click ‘Give your views now’ to register and complete a survey to help your child’s school improve. Parental questionnaire Autumn 2023 - Responses Every term we hold a Parents Consultation Session. Parents can look through their child's work, and raise any questions they may have about their child's progress, in a 1:1 meeting with the class teacher. During this session we ask parents to complete a questionnaire on how they feel the school is performing on behalf of their child. The questions are the same as those on the Ofsted Parent View website, so we can combine and analyse both sets of results to see how parents perceive our service. Below are the results from the Autumn 23 questionnaire: Comments Below is a selection of some of the comments made by our parents. “My child will be sad to leave at the end of the year” “Great school - thanks” “Every teacher my child has had throughout the years has been excellent. I can’t thank them, and the school enough for all their hard work…they a credit to the education sector” “Teachers make school great for the children” “The school are brilliant at making sure children’s mental health is well maintained” “My child really loves school and enjoys coming everyday” “I’m very happy how my child is growing in confidence and with her friendship group” “Great school. My kids love it. Thank you” “This school takes an holistic approach to my child’s wellbeing, supporting us as parents to ensure she is happy and thriving at school and home” “We had a couple of issues with other children, but the issues were dealt with straight away. We are happy” “Perfect for my children” “Miss Saville is amazing, and I can’t thank her enough” “Couldn’t wish for a better school...the staff work hard to ensure my girls are happy and progressing well” “This school have been amazing with all my children…I highly recommend this school to fellow parents” “I highly recommend this school they are very supportive with everything and anything” “Since my son has been attending Captain Webb, I’ve noticed a massive change in his attitude towards school. His last school was a challenge for me every day but now he is fine – I can’t thank you enough” “My child enjoys school” “my child struggles to come out of his shell and the teachers have done an amazing job to ensure he is comfortable” You Said.....We Did... Obviously some parents have queries/concerns that they raise. Below are the actions we are taking in response to these. My children have lost all their jumpers We have created a centralised lost property which can be accessed by parents, by requesting access at the school office. All unclaimed lost property will be disposed of every half term. or used as additional uniform for children. If clothing is clearly labelled we do try and return it to its owner. We need more reminders about events We work really hard at communication. We use ClassDojo, Facebook and the school website to communicate with parents. We will endeavour to post more reminders on Classdojo in the week leading up to events, in the form of a post called 'The Week Ahead'' My child was unable to participate in P.E. due to the weather....I understand the hall was double booked. This will have happened due to events taking place in the school hall - such as workshops and productions. If the weather is favourable we do take the children outside. Unfortunately if the weather is wet some children don't have the appropriate clothing and surfaces become slippy. We always aim for children to have at least 2 hours of physical activity a week during lesson times, this can include forest school, and activities in the classroom. My child needs more support - SALT SENCO has contacted parent and this has been resolved. I do feel naughty children are favoured....some pupils are disruptive. This is becoming more common in schools since COVID. We have a small percentage of our children, with multiple additional needs, which can result in them struggling to engage with their lessons. We are working very hard on supporting not only these children, but all children in school to attain the most from their education. Behaviour is part of our School Development Plan this year, which has resulted in: A member of SLT being appointed as Behaviour Lead A new Behaviour Policy has been created and shared on our Policies and Procedures page. Additional training has been received by all staff. Additional outside agencies have been commissioned to support children. Internal staff have been trained in further interventions such as ELSA and Drawing and Talking Therapy.

Religious Education Curriculum Statement Religious Education Offer Pupils at Captain Webb Primary School are empowered to develop the hope and perseverance necessary to engage the challenges of learning in the context of school and the wider world. Children are challenged to ask questions about the world around them and to seek the solutions, finding answers themselves. We prepare pupils to be informed, respectful members of society who celebrate diversity and strive to understand others. Teachers engage children with exciting lessons to ensure they access the RE curriculum and enjoy learning about different worldviews. Children are encouraged to work together to deepen their knowledge of the beliefs and practices of religions and worldviews. Children develop informed opinions and an awareness of the implications of religious beliefs and worldviews on individuals, the community and the environment. Children are able to persevere when introduced to different ideas and opinions. Teaching staff seek out every opportunity to ensure that all pupils flourish in RE lessons, developing wisdom and creativity through an ambitious and broad curriculum that challenges expectations, deepens knowledge and develops skills. At Captain Webb Primary School we aim to support pupils so that they become independent and responsible members of society who understand and explore big questions about life, to find out what people believe and what difference this makes to how they live, so they can make sense of their own lives and those of others. We follow the Telford and Wrekin Agreed Syllabus, SACRE (2021), for the teaching of RE. The syllabus aims: To stimulate interest and enjoyment in Religious Education. To prepare pupils to be informed, respectful members of society who celebrate diversity and strive to understand others. To encourage students to develop knowledge of the beliefs and practices of religions and worldviews, to develop informed opinions and an awareness of the implications of religion and worldviews for the individual, the community and the environment. To enable pupils to consider their own responses to questions about the meaning and purpose of life. Knowledge forms the basis for progress in RE. The Telford and Wrekin Agreed Syllabus considers two types of knowledge: substantive (the what) and disciplinary (the how) knowledge. In terms of substantive knowledge, the development of such is reflected through the curriculum units where a religion is revisited and different questions are asked/ knowledge provided as pupils move through school. With regards to disciplinary knowledge in RE we think about the methods (the ways children find out about religion) and the personal disciplinary knowledge, which relates to how the study of religion helps pupils to learn about themselves and their values. Our chosen curriculum enables the children to draw and revisit prior knowledge, through regular retrieval practices and consider the more complex ideas about religion, where knowledge is connected through concepts and part of the children’s long term memory. Four concepts have been identified as Golden thread concepts/words that weave through our whole curriculum enabling links to be made with other more complex concepts/words over time. The Golden Thread Concepts are ‘belief, relationships, worship and identity’. They are all concepts that are revisited as children progress through the school. RE lessons at Captain Webb are inclusive, so everyone is valued and respected – and tolerance and diversity are celebrated. Children with SEND/EAL children are given appropriate support to access the RE curriculum and can respond in different ways. All pupils are encouraged to consider their own values and attitudes and those of others, and provided knowledge and opportunities to understand other people. Scaffolds, sentence stems etc. are used to alleviate boundaries so that each child can access the main religious concepts. Lessons are pitched appropriately to ensure children are able to access the RE curriculum. Assessment is completed in an appropriate way for each child so that they are able to demonstrate their understanding. An understanding of pupils’ needs is demonstrated through the range of ways in which the pupils can achieve the lesson objective SMSC and Religious Education. It is our aim that Religious Education should contribute to the spiritual, moral and social and cultural development of our pupils. Religious Education can help children develop their own informed values, religious and non-religious. Children should learn to respect themselves and be sensitive to the needs and experiences of others, including considering the effect our actions have upon others. Religious Education can also help develop pupils’ understanding of social issues like stewardship of the Earth’s resources, our citizenship within local, national and global communities and a genuine respect for persons and sensitivity to their values and beliefs. Religious Education should also equip pupils to challenge inequalities and disadvantages associated with race, gender, class and ability.

RE is very different now – open, broad and exploring a range of religious and non-religious worldviews. In the UK, parents still have the right to withdraw their children from RE on the grounds that they wish to provide their own RE. This provision will be the parents’ responsibility.6 This right of withdrawal exists for all pupils in all types of school, including schools with and without a religious designation. Students aged 18 or over have the right to withdraw themselves from RE. Parents also have the right to withdraw their child from part of RE, and can do so without giving any explanation.
