However, all Governors share in that corporate responsibility. The school's direction is agreed by the Governing body, Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team, who also make sure the school is meeting its targets. The Headteacher and staff manage the school on a day-to-day basis. The Governors meet six times a year for full governing body meetings. These meetings cover all matters of governance. Each Governor takes on a specific monitoring role for different aspects of school governance. Our flat structure removes the need for sub-committees. Governors are also part of various working parties during the year which shares the workload and helps us to be more effective. Regular training enables governors to keep up-to-date with current thinking in education and church schools. The Governors welcome parents' feedback about the school. If you have any queries about the role of the Governors, or require further information, please contact our Clerk to Governors, Sian Cattaneo, via the school office or email clerk@albournecep.co.uk .

- Science | Albourne C of E Primary School
Science lessons at Albourne are enhanced by fun experiments and practical work. We take part in British Science Week by holding STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) workshops. Our Forest School plays an important part in our Science curriculum, helping pupils understand nature and the wider world around them. Science... The Albourne Way Fun experiments and practical work. Science Curriculum Map 2024-25 Intent At Albourne, we want every pupil to be curious and inquisitive throughout his or her time with us. The science curriculum fosters a healthy curiosity in pupils about our universe and promotes respect for the living and non-living. We aim to nurture pupils interest and understanding in science so they want to learn more about the importance of science. Through our science programme of study, we will teach the essential aspects of scientific knowledge, enquiry processes and uses of science that has been identified within each unit and across each year group. The key knowledge identified by each year group is informed by the national curriculum and builds towards clear sequences of lessons and assessment opportunities. Key skills are mapped for each year group and are progressive throughout the school. These too ensure systematic progression to identified skills points that are in accordance with the Working Scientifically skills expectations of the national curriculum. Our pupils are provided with a variety of opportunities that cement and challenge their natural love of science through accessible practical, physical and interactive learning experiences, which are promoted, by trips, parental involvement and community links. They are also able to make use of our local environments and habitat. Pupils will be empowered via the use of a broad and balanced understanding of science, developed through fun, exciting and relevant lessons that allow them to successfully transition to the next stage of their education. Implementation Teachers create a positive and passionate attitude to science learning within their classrooms and reinforce an expectation that all pupils are capable of achieving high standards in science. Our whole school approach to the teaching and learning of science involves the following; Each new unit of work begins with a recap of the previous related knowledge from previous years. This helps pupils to retrieve what they have learnt in the earlier sequence of the programme of study, and ensures that new knowledge is taught in the context of previous learning to promote a shift in long term memory. Key vocabulary for the new topic is also introduced as part of the sequence of learning and pupils are shown the dual-coded vocabulary and this is displayed on the working wall. This provides definitions and accompanying visuals for each word to ensure accessibility to all. This approach also means that pupils are able to understand the new vocabulary when it is used in teaching and learning activities and apply it themselves when they approach their work. Once pupils know the new vocabulary for the unit and how it relates to previous learning, the pupils are asked what they already know specifically about the new topic which is incorporated into a mind map of knowledge. This provides the teacher with an insight into the pupils ‘starting points’ for the topic, to enable the use of assessment to inform planning. The teacher is then able consolidate any of the key knowledge which is identified at this part of the process as not yet being secure. Within all sequences of lessons, teachers plan a phase of progressive questioning which extends to and promotes the higher order thinking of all learners. Questions initially focus on the recall or retrieval of knowledge and then extend to promote application of the knowledge in a new situation to promote analytical thinking. Higher order questions focus on the pupils own work and how they might change or create an outcome and justify a choice they have made which is based on their evaluation. Through our planning, we involve problem-solving opportunities that allow pupils to apply their knowledge, and find out answers for themselves. Pupils are encouraged to ask their own questions and be given opportunities to use their scientific skills and research to discover the answers. This curiosity is celebrated within the classroom. Planning involves teachers creating engaging lessons, often involving high-quality resources to aid understanding of conceptual knowledge. Teachers use precise questioning in class to test conceptual knowledge and skills, and assess pupils regularly to identify those pupils with gaps in learning, so that all pupils keep up. Tasks are selected and designed to provide appropriate challenge to all learners, in line with the school’s commitment to inclusion and quality first teaching. We build upon the knowledge and skill development of the previous years. As the pupils knowledge and understanding increases, they become more proficient in selecting, using scientific equipment, collating and interpreting results, they become increasingly confident in their growing ability to come to conclusions based on real evidence. Working Scientifically skills are embedded into lessons to ensure that skills are systematically developed throughout the pupils school career and new vocabulary and challenging concepts are introduced through direct teaching. This is developed through the years, in keeping with the topics. Teachers demonstrate how to use scientific equipment, and the various Working Scientifically skills in order to embed scientific understanding. Teachers find opportunities to develop pupils understanding of their surroundings by accessing outdoor learning and workshops with experts. Pupils are offered a wide range of extra-curricular activities, visits, trips and visitors to complement and broaden the curriculum. These are purposeful and link with the knowledge being taught in class. Regular events, such as Science Week and STEM days, allow all pupils to come off-timetable, to provide broader provision and the acquisition and application of knowledge and skills. These events often involve families and the wider community. Impact The successful approach to the teaching of science at Albourne results in a fun, engaging, high quality science education, that provides children with the foundations for understanding the world that they can take with them once they complete their primary education. Pupil voice is used to further develop the Science curriculum, through questioning of pupils’ views and attitudes towards Science, to assess the children’s enjoyment of science, and to motivate learners.
- EYFS | AlbourneCEPrimary
EYFS... The Albourne Way Inspiring our small Albourne Family EYFS…The Albourne Way Everything we do at Albourne Church of England School is underpinned by our vision, The Albourne Way – living life to the full. Children in our school will achieve highly because our expectations for pupil outcomes are ambitious. Our coherently planned and well sequenced curriculum, ‘EYFS… The Albourne Way’ offers targeted and exciting opportunities so that children develop new interests and learn new knowledge, thus we close the gaps, but is adaptive and flexible to the children’s interests. Through a rich environment both inside and out, children are enable to engage in learning that is inspirational, challenging and facilitates the consolidation / retaining of knowledge previously learnt. Because of the excellent knowledge that the staff have of the children, high quality interaction between the adults and the children enable all children to make excellent progress from their starting points and be ready for the challenges of Y1. It is our belief that every child can achieve their potential in a safe secure and challenging environment and be ready to successfully take on the challenges of their next steps in their learning journey; to live their life to the full. The EYFS Curriculum There are seven areas of learning in the EYFS curriculum. All areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected. There are three prime areas that are crucial for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning and for expanding their capacity to learn. These are: ● Communication and Language ● Physical Development ● Personal, Social and Emotional Development There are then four specific areas through which the three prime areas are strengthened and applied. These are: ● Literacy ● Mathematics ● Understanding the World ● Expressive Arts and Design The EYFS is based upon four principles: ● A Unique Child ● Positive Relationships ● Enabling Environments ● Learning and Development The EYFS Curriculum…The Albourne Way Communication and Language Involves giving children opportunities to experience a rich language environment; to develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves; and to speak and listen in a range of situations. This area provides children with opportunities for speaking and listening and ignites children’s interest in reading and writing. To give children the best opportunities for developing Communication and Language Positive Relationships support children to communicate their ideas and thoughts with each other and with adults. Enabling Environments contain signs, symbols, words, songs and notices. They also have books and pictures that take into account interests, backgrounds and cultures. At Albourne, we use the ShREC approach in our interactions with children across the learning environment both inside and out: Sh – Share attention. Adults will always be at the child’s level, paying attention to what they are focussed on. R – Respond Follow the child’s lead, responding to them by making a brief comment on what they can see, hear or feel. E – Expand Echo back what the child is saying and build on this by adding new vocabulary and turning it into a sentence. C – Conversation Have a back and forth extended conversation, giving the child time to listen, process and reply. Story-telling, reading to them, role-play / language in environment Physical Development Involves providing opportunities for young children to be active and interactive; and to develop their co-ordination, control, and movement. Children must also be helped to understand the importance of physical activity, and to make healthy choices in relation to food. This area provides opportunities for children to be active and devlop their co-ordination, manipulation and movement. It develops understanding of the importance of being physically active and eating healthily. To give children the best opportunities through Positive Relationships children are supported in their understanding of exercise, sleep and eating to promote health. Activities in Enabling Environments both indoors and outdoors encourage energetic physical play. In Learning and Development, snack times promote social skills and the importance of making healthy food choices. Personal, Social and Emotional Development Involves helping children to develop a positive sense of themselves, and others; to form positive relationships and develop respect for others; to develop social skills and learn how to manage their feelings; to understand appropriate behaviour in groups; and to have confidence in their own abilities. This area develops children’s positive sense of themselves. It teaches about having respect for oneself and others, developing social skills and a good attitude to learning. To give children the best opportunities through Positive Relationships, adults form caring relationships with all children. In Enabling Environments opportunities for play and learning are created that help children embrace differences between themselves and others. Learning and Development experiences are planned to promote all round development. Literacy Literacy development involves encouraging children to link sounds and letters and to begin to read and write. Children must be given access to a wide range of reading materials (books, poems and other written materials) to ignite their interest. Environment PUT A RATIONAL – INTENT at then beginning of each of the zones Vision for environment rationale for the environment – this your intent The learning environment is zoned into areas that will promote playing and exploring, active learning and creating and thinking critically. BOOKLAND This is my implementation The Bookland area will consist of: Front facing shelves for children to see the books. Crates attached to wall that have objects related to the book for the children to engage with. A floor book stand with recommended books in. A reading buddy to read to. The Bookland sign. Reading Challenge board. Photographs of the children reading / engaging with books. Recommended reads for that year group. Within your book collection, BAME characters and authors must be prominent but not labelled. The Book land area should be inviting, engaging and inspirational.
- Attendance and Absence | Albourne C of E Primary School
Information for parents/carers about attendance and absence. Attendance and Absence Information for parents. The 2024-25 academic year Whilst we understand families will be looking forward to travel and holidays abroad again, after the past couple of years' disruption, but we want to set expectations now: as a school we will NOT be authorising holidays during this academic year (2024-25). Every day in school counts and we will be monitoring attendance and lateness on a daily basis. Reporting an absence If your child is going to be absent from school, we expect you (the parent/carer) to do the following: Call the school office before 9.00am to explain absence each day your child is off school - this is for safeguarding reasons. Ensure you provide a written letter of explanation when your child returns to school, in addition to the phone calls, so we can maintain accurate records. If your child’s absence is longer than three days we would expect medical advice to be sought. If parents/carers have not contacted school, they will receive a message asking them why the child is not at school. Unexplained absences may also be followed up by a home visit or a letter. If the reason for the absence is not explained then the absence will be marked as unauthorised. When to contact us Please do contact us if you are having any difficulties or face challenges we may not be aware of, before it becomes a problem that we need to raise with you. Withdrawal from learning requests In line with the Department for Education (DfE), we will not authorise pupil absence for withdrawal from learning during term time unless there are unusual and compelling circumstances. This applies to absences of any length. The withdrawal from learning request process is as follows: All withdrawal from learning requests should be made to the Headteacher by completing a form which is available from the school office, and below. The Headteacher will speak to you (the parent/carer) regarding your request It is possible that unauthorised absence will trigger involvement from the Local Authority Attendance Team and you could be liable for a fine. The school scrutinises registers regularly to identify any patterns of absence/poor punctuality and these are discussed with the Headteacher to see there is anything the school can do to assist. In cases where attendance and punctuality do not improve, further support will be sought from the Local Authority Attendance Team. Your assistance in setting good attendance patterns early is much appreciated and it will help your child later on in their education. Local Authority information and guidance about attendance can be found on the WSCC School absences page . Medical appointments Every effort should be made to arrange medical appointments outside school hours. If it is necessary for a child to be out of school for this reason, the child should be returned to school directly after the appointment. Proof of the appointment should be shown to the school office. Parents/carers must inform the school of any planned absences in advance using the absence request form. Copies of these will be kept with the child's records. Holidays during term time Parents should be aware that taking holidays in term time are not an entitlement and are strongly discouraged by the Government, Local Authority and the school. The Headteacher can only authorise absences for exceptional circumstances - and this will be rare. Why attendance matters Attendance is important to us - and will continue to be so - not because of any targets we, or others, set for us but because when your child is not in school, they are missing their education. In addition, the children have missed so much time in school over recent years, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Attendance and punctuality are an important part of good behaviour and such an important life skill. It is an essential requirement in any job and habits formed early become embedded. Pupils who miss valuable time in classrooms fall further behind and become more disengaged from the work of the class. It is hard to regain this ground and hard to motivate pupils when attendance drops.

- Design & Technology | AlbourneCEPrimary
Design & Technology... The Albourne Way DT Overview 2024-25 Progression of Skills Intent: At Albourne Primary School we intend to build a Design Technology curriculum which is inspiring, rigorous, and practical. We want our children to use creativity and imagination, to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. It is a subject that encourages children to ‘learn to think’ creatively to solve practical problems both as individuals and through teamwork. We intend for all children to acquire appropriate subject knowledge, skills and understanding as set out in the National Curriculum. It is our aim to create strong cross curricular links with other subjects, such as Mathematics, Science, Computing, and Art. We want Design and Technology to prepare our children, to give them the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences they need to be successful in later life. Implementation: Design and Technology is a crucial part of school life and learning and it is for this reason that as a school we are dedicated to the teaching and delivery of a high-quality Design and Technology curriculum. This is implemented through: A well thought out, whole school, yearly overview of the DT curriculum which allows for progression across year groups in all areas of DT (textiles, mechanisms, structures, food and electrical systems) Teachers are given ownership and flexibility to plan for Design and Technology; often teaching DT as a block of lessons to allow the time needed for the children to be able to design, make and evaluate (incorporating relevant technical knowledge). Some lessons are delivered using an existing scheme of work which teachers adapt as needed. A range of skills being taught ensuring that children are aware of health and safety issues related to the tasks undertaken Pupils are introduced to specific designers, chefs, nutritionists, etc. helping to engender an appreciation of human creativity and achievement and increase the cultural capital from which they can draw in the future. Units on nutrition are taught ensuring that children have a growing understanding of where food comes from, its seasonality and the need for a healthy and varied diet. We will continue to develop our links with the other schools within the Trust, sharing resources, skills and ideas. Impact: Children will have clear enjoyment and confidence in Design and Technology that they will then apply to other areas of the curriculum. Through carefully planned and implemented learning activities the pupils develop the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world. They gain a firm foundation of knowledge and skills to see them equipped to take on further learning as they move through the school and into KS3. They get to evaluate and considered improvements in their designs, linking their ideas to real life situations. The curriculum lead for DT will review planning and lessons, they will speak to the children and gather evidence of the progression through the years.
- Funding and Finances | Albourne C of E Primary School
Find out about our funding and finances, including how we use our Pupil Premium and Sports Premium. Funding and Finances Enhancing the quality of provision at our school. Our finances As of September 2020, all schools are required to publish how many people in their organisation earn over £100,000 and publish a link to our page on the Government financial benchmarking service. Albourne CofE Primary has zero people in our organisation earning £100,000 or above. The Government benchmarking page for our school can be found at the link below. Gov.uk - Schools financial benchmarking Pupil Premium Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated to children who are either looked after by the Local Authority; those who have been eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years (also known as Ever 6 FSM) and for children whose parents are currently serving in the Armed Forces. The level of premium for 2019-20 is £1,320 per primary pupil, with £1,900 for those with special guardianship or adopted from care. The purpose of the funding is to help schools to close the gap between the progress of children who are disadvantaged or vulnerable, and their peers. It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium allocated to their school is spent. Schools are accountable for their use of the additional funding to support pupils from low-income or vulnerable families and the impact this has on educational attainment. The barriers that need to be overcome by vulnerable pupils can vary - at Albourne we are aware of: Emotional barriers to learning - where a pupil struggles with situations beyond their control and needs support to manage their feelings and therefore needs pastoral support. Financial barriers to learning - where a pupil is unable to access all the opportunities that are offered due to financial constraints and therefore needs financial support. Academic barriers to learning - where a pupil has lower attainment than their peers and therefore needs additional support to close the gap. Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2023-24 Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2020-23 Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2019-20 Sports Premium Sports funding is a grant given to every primary school. The aim of this funding is to enhance the quality of provision of sports and Physical Education (PE) and to enable all children to take part in a wider range of activities that promote a healthy lifestyle. Our PE and sports premium allocation for the academic year 2023-24 is £17,580. The documents below show how we have spent our grant in previous years.
