Above all other considerations the safety of pupils must be an over-riding concern.

Children should be under supervision at all times during the school day. From time to time it may be desirable that children are allowed to exercise some personal responsibility e.g. individual use of the library, delivering a message elsewhere, carrying out a survey or investigation. Nevertheless, each teacher has a responsibility to ensure the safety and good conduct of all children under his/her care at any particular time and should always be aware of the whereabouts of each child.

Good communication between the school and the home is essential. Children achieve more when schools and parents work together. Parents can help more if they know what the school is trying to achieve, and how they can help.

In our school we aim to have clear and effective communications with parents and the wider community. Effective communications enable us to share our aims and values through keeping parents well informed about school life. This reinforces the importance of the role that parents play in supporting the school in educating their children.

We communicate with parents through a range of different strategies. Some of our communications are the result of a statutory requirement; others reflect what we believe is important to our school.

This document establishes the policy of the head teacher and governors of Brandling Primary School in both the educational and practical aspects of the organisation of collective worship.

The governors and staff of Brandling Primary School are keen to promote and value an international dimension in the school curriculum for the wider experience of it’s pupils. We wish to prepare our pupils so that with confidence in themselves and respect for others they can live and work in a changing world.

The school has a vital role in preparing pupils for International citizenship. The promotion of the International dimension in all aspects of the curriculum will assist in removing barriers between cultures, encourage openness and positive communication between individuals and groups and thus combat racism.

Effective care in school begins with vitally important work of every class teacher. The most effective method of maintaining good order is for the class teacher to foster a positive relationship with children, based on mutual respect and the willingness to listen and empathise.

Teachers show children that they care for their educational progress and social welfare through the quality of their teaching and in the way they handle personal relationships, both inside and outside the classroom. Teachers should recognise and apply the principles of good classroom management. When both classrooms and lessons are well planned and organised, children’s interests are kept and the opportunities for disruption are minimised.
