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.
- School Uniform | captainwebb
At Captain Webb Primary School we try hard to make our school uniform as affordable and accessible to parents as is possible. To this extent we have our uniform in navy blue, which is readily available from most retailers, and are happy to accept black or grey trousers and skirts. We do not insist that the uniform is logoed, but we do have a supplier that can provide logoed uniform, which is good quality and at a reasonable price (the company was voted for by the parents). To further help parents with the cost of purchasing uniform we have some second hand uniform available in school, and the school provides a PE kit for each child. For our full uniform policy, including any seasonal changes to uniform, or what to do if you have any concerns, please see below: School Uniform Policy Our school uniform is provided by I Want Workwear Dynamic Court, Halesfield 24, Telford, TF7 4NZ www.Iwantworkwear.co.uk You can view and order the full range online PE-Kit Weißes T-Shirt Marineblaue oder schwarze PE-Shorts Turnschuhe oder Leinenschuhe Schwarze, marineblaue oder graue Jogginghose für Outdoor PE
- Parent Forum | captainwebb
Parent's Forum At Captain Webb we appreciate and value open communication between our school and parents. The goal of our Parent Forum is to ensure that the views of all parents are heard. The aim is that parents can talk freely with their elected Forum representative and they will act as a voice to inform the school of the needs of our children and families. We feel that it is a perfect way to share ideas, views and concerns and to make suggestions for improvements. Our Parent Forum has four broad aims which are; · To work together to improve the learning and welfare provided for our children. · To work in partnership with the school to create a welcoming school which is inclusive for all parents and carers. · To share information, knowledge and skills. · To further improve communications between Parent/Carers and Staff/Governors. One parent will be elected for each class, through a democratic vote. The vote will take place every September when each class will ask their pupils parents/carers if there are any volunteers for the role. Where more than one volunteer puts themselves forward an anonymised vote will be held. The Forum will report to the Governing body annually on its activities on behalf of all parents. They will meet once every half term with Mrs Passey (Head) and Mr Harris (Parent Partnership Lead) to discuss any issues, ideas or opinions that have been raised. Minutes and dates for each meeting will be posted on the website (below) and on Classdojo. Your Forum Representatives are: Parent's Forum are also instrumental in helping the school raise money to support with projects and resources. In 2024 they helped organise the Summer Fayre which raised £1,231. This has been used to purchase playground games and resources to enhance break and dinner times for the children, as well as purchasing new books for the school library. We currently have some vacancies for the Parents Forum so if you would like to volunteer please contact Lynn in the school office or email (A2174@taw.org.uk) and your details will be passed on. Forum Meeting Minutes Meeting Minutes - The school has recently been re-awarded The Leading Parent Partnership Award for the work that we do in ensuring our parents needs are met, and views/opinions are not only requested, but taken into account in our everyday school life.
- CSE/CCE (Child Exploitation) | captainwebb
Online sicherheit Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) Child Criminal Exploitation occurs where an individual or group takes advantage of an imbalance of power to coerce, control, manipulate or deceive a child or young person under the age of 18. The victim may have been criminally exploited even if the activity appears consensual. Child Criminal Exploitation does not always involve physical contact; it can also occur through the use of technology. Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Child Sexual Exploitation is a type of sexual abuse. When a child or young person is exploited they're given things, like gifts, drugs, money, status and affection, in exchange for performing sexual activities. Children and young people are often tricked into believing they're in a loving and consensual relationship. This is called grooming. They may trust their abuser and not understand that they're being abused. Sometimes abusers use violence and intimidation to frighten or force a child or young person, making them feel as if they've no choice. Anybody can be a perpetrator of CSE, no matter their age, gender or race. The relationship could be framed as friendship, someone to look up to or romantic. Children and young people who are exploited may also be used to 'find' or coerce others to join groups. Technology is very often used to groom victims. This may occur through mobile phones with internet access, social networking sites e.g. TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram etc. and via games consoles that connect to the internet e.g. Playstation or Xbox. Signs that someone may be a victim of CCE or CSE: Frequently absent from and doing badly in school. Going missing from home, staying out late and travelling for unexplained reasons. In a relationship or hanging out with someone older than them. Being angry, aggressive or violent. Being isolated or withdrawn. Having unexplained money and buying new things. Wearing clothes or accessories in gang colours or getting tattoos. Using new slang words. Spending more time on social media and being secretive about time online. Making more calls or sending more texts, possibly on a new phone or phones. Self-harming and feeling emotionally unwell. Taking drugs and abusing alcohol. Committing petty crimes like shop lifting or vandalism. Unexplained injuries and refusing to seek medical help. Carrying weap ons or having a dangerous breed of dog. Support/Resources PACE (Parents Against Child Sexual Exploitation) is a national charity that works with parents and carers whose children are sexually exploited. PACE offers one-to-one telephone support, national and local meet-ups with other affected parents and information on how parents can work in partnership with school, police and social care. The NSPCC has been campaigning to raise the profile of this form of child abuse. Share Aware : Help your child stay safe on social networks, apps and games.

- Pupil Premium | captainwebb
Schülerprämie Der Zweck der Schülerprämie Die Regierung ist der Ansicht, dass die Schülerprämie, die zusätzlich zur Hauptschulfinanzierung gewährt wird, der beste Weg ist, um die derzeitigen Ungleichheiten zwischen Kindern, die Anspruch auf kostenlose Schulmahlzeiten (FSM) haben, und ihren wohlhabenderen Altersgenossen zu beheben, indem sichergestellt wird, dass die Mittel zur Beseitigung der Benachteiligung die Schüler erreichen wer braucht es am meisten. Für Schülerinnen und Schüler aus einkommensschwachen Familien außerhalb des Regelschulsystems ist es Sache der Kommunalbehörde, über die Zuweisung der Schülerprämie zu entscheiden. Es könnte beispielsweise der Einrichtung zugewiesen werden, in der sie ausgebildet werden, oder von der Kommunalbehörde gehalten werden, um speziell für zusätzliche pädagogische Unterstützung aufzuwenden, um das Leistungsniveau dieser Schüler zu erhöhen. Die Behörde muss nicht-normale Einrichtungen konsultieren, wie die Prämie für diese Schüler verwendet werden soll. Das DfE sagt: Den Schulen steht es frei, die Schülerprämie nach eigenem Ermessen auszugeben. Sie werden jedoch dafür verantwortlich gemacht, wie sie die zusätzlichen Mittel zur Unterstützung von Schülern aus einkommensschwachen Familien verwendet haben. In die Leistungstabellen werden neue Maßnahmen aufgenommen, die die Leistungen der benachteiligten Schüler erfassen, die von der Schülerprämie abgedeckt werden. Wie können Eltern und Betreuer zum Erfolg der Schülerprämie beitragen? Wenn Ihr Kind Anspruch auf kostenlose Schulmahlzeiten hat, lohnt es sich, es anzumelden, auch wenn es kein Mittagessen in der Schule zu sich nimmt und selbst wenn es Anspruch auf ein kostenloses Abendessen im Rahmen des staatlichen Universal Infant Free School Meal-Programms hat. Es wird sich direkt auf die Finanzierung auswirken und die Unterstützung, die wir bieten können, maximieren. Die Unterstützung und Beteiligung der Eltern ist ein Schlüsselfaktor für die Anhebung der Standards. Wenn Sie Hilfe oder Beratung bei der Unterstützung Ihres Kindes wünschen oder unsicher sind, wie Sie sich für das kostenlose Schulessen anmelden können, wenden Sie sich bitte an Frau Jacqui Darlington, die für die Schülerprämie zuständig ist. Wer hat Anspruch auf kostenlose Schulmahlzeiten? Ihr Kind hat möglicherweise Anspruch auf kostenlose Schulmahlzeiten, wenn Sie Anspruch auf Folgendes haben: Sozialhilfe Einkommensabhängige Arbeitslosenhilfe Einkommensbezogenes Beschäftigungs- und Unterstützungsgeld Unterstützung nach Teil VI des Zuwanderungs- und Asylgesetzes 1999 das garantierte Element des staatlichen Rentenkredits Steuergutschrift für Kinder (vorausgesetzt, Sie haben nicht auch Anspruch auf eine Steuergutschrift für Erwerbstätigkeit und haben ein jährliches Bruttoeinkommen von nicht mehr als 16.190 £) Ablauf der Steuergutschrift für Erwerbstätigkeit – wird 4 Wochen lang gezahlt, nachdem Sie sich nicht mehr für die Steuergutschrift für Erwerbstätigkeit qualifizieren Universalkredit Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2024.25 Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2023.24 Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2022.23 Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2021.22
- Spoken Word | captainwebb
Spoken Language Reading and writing float on a sea of talk. James Britton What is Spoken Language? The national curriculum for English reflects the importance of spoken language in pupils’ development across the whole curriculum – cognitively, socially and linguistically. Spoken language underpins the development of reading and writing. The quality and variety of language that pupils hear and speak are vital for developing their vocabulary and grammar and their understanding for reading and writing. Curriculum Intent At Captain Webb Primary School, we value Spoken Language as an important part of the children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum. Spoken Language provides the children with the opportunities to develop and extend skills and an opportunity to express their individual interests, thoughts and ideas. Our aim is to enable the children improve their levels of spoken language so that all pupils are able to communicate effectively and confidently in front of any type of audience. These skills are encouraged in every area of our curriculum as good communication skills can enhance every type of learning. The children are encouraged to explore ideas through talk; challenge each other’s opinions and develop their own reasoned arguments, as well as talking in full sentences with a clear and confident voice. Pupils should be taught to: listen and respond appropriately to adults and their peers ask relevant questions to extend their understanding and build vocabulary and knowledge articulate and justify answers, arguments and opinions give well-structured descriptions and explanations maintain attention and participate actively in collaborative conversations, staying on topic and initiating and responding to comments use spoken language to develop understanding through speculating, hypothesising, imagining and exploring ideas speak audibly and fluently with an increasing command of Standard English participate in discussions, presentations, performances and debates gain, maintain and monitor the interest of the listener(s) consider and evaluate different viewpoints, attending to and building on the contributions of others select and use appropriate registers for effective communication. Spoken language: speaking, listening & responding Implementation The teaching and implementation of the Spoken Language curriculum is based on the Early Learning Goals and National Curriculum; it is supported by expectations from the Voice 21 framework, ensuring a well-structured approach. These skills are at the core of our curriculum and pupils are encouraged to listen and learn from sharing ideas with others. Staff at Captain Webb model the use of higher level vocabulary within their speech and expanding children’s vocabulary is a key focus in all years. Subject specific vocabulary is embedded across the curriculum, through teacher modelling, in context. Contextual learning helps children to understand new words and supports them in including new vocabulary in their work. This model is reflected in both shared and guided reading sessions, where children are given the chance to explore unfamiliar vocabulary and expand their knowledge of words. Talk partners are used extensively throughout the school, together with a range of planned learning opportunities that encourage pupils to explore language e.g. role play, drama activities, group discussion, hot seating. In KS2, pupils also take part in class debates. Drama is used across a range of subjects including History, problem solving in Mathematics, hot-seating during English lessons and Religious Education,. to explore and engage children in their learning. This gives children the chance to embed the use of specific vocabulary repetitively. At Christmas, EYFS and KS1 children perform their Christmas production to the school while LKS2 produce and lead a production of drama, jokes and songs at Easter. At the end of the academic year, the Year 6 children perform a tailored production to parents and carers. All pupils also perform to their parents once a year in their year group assembly. Daily poetry and rhyme and singing sessions are prioritised in EYFS and KS1. All year groups have a core set of poems that the pupils learn off by heart and perform in assemblies. Our pupils need lots of opportunities to speak and listen. This is especially true of pupils with special educational needs (SEND) and/or pupils with English as an additional language (EAL). Within every day teaching, we use a range of resources to support communication e.g. visuals made with Communication in Print, word banks, sentence stems, speaking frames. Some pupils take part in small group activities (Talk Boost) and some pupils receive additional support e.g. speech and language assistant or therapist. Impact Constructive formative feedback is provided to pupils regarding their spoken language and listening skills, not only to improve their knowledge and skills but also to establish secure foundations for effective spoken language at primary school right through to secondary education and beyond. Pupils at Captain Webb Primary School have a wide vocabulary and are confident speakers. They enjoy talking amongst peers and to adults in school and demonstrate excellent listening skills. Poetry Day - October 2024 Below are some video clips of our children reading out poems they wrote/covered on Poetry Day, working alongside the poet James Carver.

- Geography | captainwebb
Geography Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent 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 Within geography, we believe that children should develop an understanding, and love of, the world around them. Our geography curriculum is designed to encourage children to ask and enquire about the natural and the human world. Throughout their time at Captain Webb, children are given opportunities to explore the world around them through memorable experience visits and fieldwork. These experiences, along with lessons within school, ignite an enthusiasm to learn. Geography is embedded in the processes and people around us that form our environment. At Captain Webb, we want our pupils to develop a deep understanding of the natural and human environments, alongside an understanding of the physical and human processes which form these. By providing pupils with the key knowledge, we enable them to develop the skills required to understand and navigate our world. Implementation Our pupils leave Captain Webb with all of the knowledge and skills required to be competent and enthusiastic geographers. Our curriculum has been rigorously planned to ensure that the knowledge children have is built upon not only each year, but each term and within every geography lesson. Knowledge within our geography curriculum is split into locational, place, human and physical. These are mapped out across the year groups to ensure progression. From this knowledge, children can also develop the key skills in each strand of the geography curriculum. These skills are applied during fieldwork both on site and during memorable experience visits. Children carry out fieldwork in every year at Captain Webb. Not only does this develop their geographical skills, but also their understanding of the world around them. Based on their fieldwork, children produce maps which also develops their sense of the key concepts of place, space and environment. Geography at Captain Webb is taught through blocks which supports children to develop mastery of the subject. Children working at greater depth are able to revisit their learning and delve deeper into the topic. At the beginning of each topic, initial assessments are completed to determine prior knowledge and ensure that progression is consistent. Children also ask 6 ‘big questions’ about their topic to inform teachers’ planning and guarantee that learning is driven by children’s interests. This further develops their enthusiasm for the topic. Impact As well as monitoring of attainment, the impact of effective geography teaching is clear in the children’s ability to apply their knowledge to fieldwork in each year group. The impact of geography is also evident within the opportunities we provide to develop cultural capital. We do this across the curriculum and throughout the school by: Investing in digital mapping technology to help children develop a sense of place and scale. Incorporating memorable experiences into every topic, which allow exploration of people and landscapes Fieldwork in the local area Topics regarding current global issues, such as climate change and plastic in the oceans A residential visit to France, enabling pupils to experience differing cultures Geography Policy 2024.25 Geography SEND Geography Skills and Knowledge Progression Plans

- Computing | captainwebb
Computing Curriculum Statement Computing Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering computing curriculum that allows them to develop as confident, experienced and responsible users of technology. We want our children to be equipped with the knowledge and skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever-changing world, both in the present and in the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives and so, where appropriate, computing knowledge and skills are applied to theme-based tasks to make learning creative, accessible and engaging. We want our pupils to be fluent with a range of devices, applications and hardware and aim that by Upper Key Stage 2, children have the independence and confidence to choose the best tool to fulfil whatever task or challenge they may encounter. We understand that the use of technology brings with it inherent risks. We believe that our children should be equipped with the knowledge, skills and understanding to use technology safely and respectfully, in order to become positive contributors to our world’s ‘global village’. 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. Implementation Computing is taught at Captain Webb Primary School as an area of learning, as well as being integrated, where appropriate, through cross curricular links. We have implemented a curriculum where pupils from the age of 2 to the age of 11 not only enjoy but also experience a range of activities that broaden their knowledge and understanding. Computing consists of one unit per half term, which is either taught in a weekly lesson or as ‘Computing Days’, where children are able to immerse themselves in the progression of knowledge and skills of a particular area of learning and apply them within a given context. The key knowledge and skills of each topic are mapped across each year group. This ensures that children develop their knowledge of computer systems and networks, various forms of digital media, data and information, and programming, progressively throughout the whole school. The skills in these areas are also developed systematically, with the programme of study for each year group building on previous learning and preparing for subsequent years. Knowledge and skills are informed and linked to enable achievement of key stage end points, as informed by the 2014 National Curriculum. Throughout the Computing units taught in each year group, children learn to use and express themselves and develop their ideas. For example, when writing and presenting with desktop publishing or exploring art and design using digital media. Children develop practical skills in the safe use of computers and the internet, and the ability to apply these skills to real-life scenarios. For example, understanding safe use of social media, computer networks and email. We teach children to understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation. Children are also taught to analyse problems in computational terms and have repeated practical and progressive experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems. We also teach a progression of computing vocabulary to support children in the development of their computing knowledge. Online safety is taught broadly and regularly at Captain Webb Primary School. We understand that Online Safety concerns not only digital tools and spaces, but also behaviour. Where appropriate, Online Safety is taught within Computing lessons. For example, when children learn about computer systems and networks, they learn about the importance of how data on networks can be copied and shared, and the importance of securing data on networks. In addition, Online Safety is taught during PSHE lessons. For example, when children learn about bullying, cyber bullying is included in context. Children are also taught Online Safety during a blocked ‘Online Safety Week’, where the eight strands of ‘Education for a Connected World’ (self-image and identity, online relationships, online reputation, online bullying, managing online information, health well-being and lifestyle, privacy and security, copyright and ownership) are taught in depth to key phases across the whole school. The evaluated impact of ‘Online Safety Week’ is used to direct further opportunities to develop our children’s knowledge and understanding of Online Safety, such as additional PSHE lessons, assemblies delivered by online agencies and targeted displays. Impact The implementation of this curriculum ensures that when children leave Captain Webb Primary School, they are safe, competent and creative users of technology. They will have developed skills to express themselves creatively using a range of digital media and be equipped to apply their skills in programming to different challenges and scenarios. Our children will know the risks of using digital technology and will be able to use it safely, respectfully and positively. They will have a secure and comprehensive knowledge of the opportunities and potential for the use of technology and digital systems in our world, both now and in the future. This is important in a society where technologies and trends are rapidly evolving. Children will be able to apply the British values of democracy, tolerance, mutual respect, rule of law and liberty when using digital systems. They will have increased cultural capital by seeing how computer networks, systems, devices, applications and hardware are used in real-life situations for their own benefit, and the benefit of wider society.

- Artsmark | captainwebb
Over the past two years we have been working towards achieving a prestigious Artsmark Award which recognises a settings contribution towards the arts. We are delighted to announce that during half term we found out that we have been awarded an Artsmark Gold Award. The Artsmark Award is the only creative quality standard for schools, accredited by Arts Council England. It supports schools to develop and celebrate arts and cultural education, putting creativity and wellbeing at the heart of the curriculum. Artsmark ensures every young person can be creative and access a diverse, high-quality cultural education. We have seen a huge impact upon both children and staff at Captain Webb with initiatives such as Indian drumming on World Music Day as well as extra-curricular dance clubs. Here is some of the feedback we were given by the Artsmark assessors: “You clearly value the arts and recognise their contribution to supporting your pupils' emotional well-being and self-confidence.” “You have used your Artsmark journey to develop children's cultural capital by commissioning various theatre groups, including Loud Mouth Theatre, Hobgoblin Theatre Company and Image Theatre Company, so that every child has enjoyed watching live performances.” “Music is a growing strength within your overall arts offer with lessons provided by specialist music teachers throughout the whole school, including EYFS sessions delivered by 'Music Minors.” “It is great to hear that you are beginning to develop pupil voice through your Arts Committee, and that they have relished the opportunity to work with your new partner, 'Primary Workshops' to plan and deliver Indian drumming workshops throughout the school in celebration of World Music Day.” “Teachers' confidence has increased because of working alongside music specialists. They have also strengthened their fine art skills by participating in training on the use of sketch books, led by Go Sketch.” “Clearly, the dance club specifically for boys was also a successful initiative, with their performance at a local theatre supporting positive learning behaviours.” Captain Webb Primary - Arts Mark Statement of Impact Captain Webb Primary - Arts Mark Statement of Commitment
- Protective Characteristics | captainwebb
PROTECTED CHARACTERISTICS PROMOTING THE NINE PROTECTED CHARACTERISITICS The Equality Act became law in 2010. It covers everyone in Britain and protects people from discrimination, harassment and victimisation. The Equality Act protects people against discrimination because of the protected characteristics that we all have. Under the Equality Act, there are nine protected characteristics: Age Disability Gender reassignment Race - including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin Religion or belief Marriage or civil partnership Sex Sexual orientation Pregnancy and maternity No form of discrimination is tolerated at Captain Webb Primary School and our pupils show respect for those who share the protected characteristics. We do not teach about all the protected characteristics in every year group. The curriculum is planned and delivered so that our pupils develop age appropriate knowledge and understanding during their time at Captain Webb Primary School (see below). Each year group also have a selection of books to support in the delivery of the nine Protected Characteristics. Protected Characteristics - Content by year group.
