  1. Chew Stoke Church School Organisation of Learning 2010 - 2011

  2. Chew Stoke Church School Aims • Clarify arrangements for next academic year • Provide an opportunity to answer questions

  3. Chew Stoke Church School Rationale for the change • Organisation that will be outlined will enable morning class sizes to be reduced to around 25 children, improving teacher/pupil ratios • More effective to plan literacy and maths learning across a single year group, improving quality further; especially so where there are cross Key Stage classes • School retains its close community feel resulting in part from mixed year group classes

  4. Chew Stoke Church School • Children have been allocated to one of six classes. • Most of these are mixed year group classes, except for Reception next year. • These classes will be known as the Home class. • Home classes will be the main point of contact for parents. • Children will arrive and leave from their Home classroom.

  5. Chew Stoke Church School • Hedgehog: • Reception children with Miss Hennessey • Owl: • Year 1 and some Year 2 with Miss Vowles • Kingfisher • Some Year 2 and some Year 3 with Mrs Page and a new teacher (to be appointed) • In new classroom

  6. Chew Stoke Church School • Woodpecker: • Some Year 3 and some Year 4 children with Mrs Clark • Fox: • Some Year 4 and some Year 5 children with Mr Hewett • Badger • Some Year 5 and all Year 6 children with Mrs Hurford

  7. Chew Stoke Church School • In the morning, when school starts at 8:55am, children go to their Home class. • There will be boxes for water bottles, snacks and book bags for your child’s year group. These items must be labelled please! • Children are registered in their Home class. • Money, notes / letters are handed over in the Home class. • The Home class will take part in worship together.

  8. Chew Stoke Church School • After worship all children will work together with children in their National Curriculum year group. • Children will be escorted to their morning / year group classroom. • Before break children will generally learn maths. • After break children will have a literacy lesson and guided reading/writing sessions. • Target group work will generally happen during the mornings.

  9. Chew Stoke Church School • Reception in Hedgehog classroom with Miss Hennessey • Year 1 in Owl classroom with Miss Vowles • Year 2 in Kingfisher classroom with Mrs Page Monday - Wednesday / New Teacher Thursday - Friday • Year 3 in old Kingfisher classroom with Mrs Denny (room yet to be renamed!) • Year 4 in Woodpecker classroom with Mrs Clark • Year 5 in Fox classroom with Mr Hewett • Year 6 in Badger classroom with Mrs Hurford

  10. Chew Stoke Church School • Children will go to lunch from their year group classroom. • After lunch children will return to their Home class for registration and afternoon learning. This will include: • Science, RE, PE, Art, Music, History, Geography, Design Technology, PSHE/SEAL • ICT will be taught across the curriculum

  11. Chew Stoke Church School • All teachers are entitled to Planning, Preparation and Assessment (PPA) time. This has been organised to take place during afternoons for all classes except Hedgehog who follow the Foundation Stage curriculum. This will ensure continuity for our morning arrangements. • All classes will receive some teaching assistant support to aid learning across the ability range: • 3 mornings one week, 2 the next • 2 afternoons each week (except for training courses / short notice illness) This provides a comparatively good level of support.

  12. Chew Stoke Church School • Mrs Sue Lewis, our HLTA (Higher Level Teaching Assistant) will: • Not be class based next year • Provide PPA cover for most classes • Use dyslexia and language development training to assess and work with small groups if identified children from across the school • Provide specific support for a child with identified language needs.

  13. Chew Stoke Church School • Pupil progress monitoring will remain rigorous – academic and social. • Two way communication between Home class teachers and year group teachers has been planned and will take place frequently. • Draft arrangements are in place for parent consultations and will be confirmed next academic year.
