  1. Welcome to St. Andrew’s Parents’ Meeting September 16th and 18th 2014

  2. The Purpose A general introduction to some changes from the Headteacher An introduction to new Teachers A chance to meet the Teachers and visit the classrooms An opportunity to hear from the Teachers about learning in each Year Group

  3. Our Vision, Values and Mission Our Vision Together we love life, learning and God Our Values Love, Courage and Friendship Our Mission At St. Andrew’s we will develop and nurture the children in our care, by providing a high quality education within a creative, Christian environment.

  4. The New National Curriculum • New National Curriculum – for all schools in England • Why? – to slim down the content of the curriculum in almost all subjects though not in Maths, English and Science • The government says the new curriculum concentrates on the “essential knowledge and skills every child should have”

  5. Which subjects are affected? • There are changes to the content of all subjects in the NC. • In Maths, children will be expected to learn more at an earlier age – for example, to know their 12 times table by the age of nine. • The terminology has changed e.g. ‘ones’ instead of ‘units’ and ‘statistics’ instead of ‘data’ • In English, pupils will learn more about Shakespeare and there will be more importance placed on the love of reading • It places an importance of spoken language in pupils’ development across the whole curriculum • The terminology has increased in some areas of Grammar – ‘transitive verbs’ and the etymology (origin) of words

  6. Curriculum meetings Parent workshops to be arranged for the Spring Term Curriculum Letters for each year group will be available on the website in the next two weeks. These will also be displayed in the entrance to the school Please check the website as we are constantly updating it: www.st-andrewsenf.co.uk

  7. Uniform and Equipment We expect children to wear their school uniform according to the policy (no polo shirts as from the beginning of term) We ask that children do not bring large rucksacks and bags into school. We haven’t the space and they are not required. Children need a waterproof coat, book bag, lunchbox Lunchboxes – please do not overfill the lunchboxes with food. Give them what you know they will eat. We are a nut free school No fizzy drinks, chocolate bars or sweets

  8. Thank you for coming along and listening! You will now be going to your child’s classroom to meet the Teachers and to listen to a short presentation. This is a general meeting and not a time to have a specific meeting about your child. Individual parent meetings will take place in early November.
