Curriculum Design Statement Intent, Implementation and Impact Our curriculum provides children with engaging, exciting and empowering learning experiences that allows them to be successful. They become 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 context enrichment opportunities 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 ​ Our children have a sense of belonging and value the community in which they live therefore community involvement is an integral part of the school. Regular invitations to families and visitors facilitate learning new and sharing experiences such as assemblies, curriculum outcomes and community days take place. Children regularly contribute to supporting and developing their local community. To see how we implement our curriculum please select from the links below. Curriculum Framework Overview - Nursery Curriculum Framework Overview - Year R Curriculum Framework Overview - Year 1 Curriculum Framework Overview - Year 2 Curriculum Framework Overview - Year 3 Curriculum Framework Overview - Year 4 Curriculum Framework Overview - Year 5 Curriculum Framework Overview - Year 6 Each year group have a curriculum overview which maps out the whole year curriculum planning. Each subject leader will have a long-term plan which sets the learning for the year for their subject area. Progression documents have been created to ensure full coverage of the National Curriculum. These have been developed following research and advice from expert leaders in education. Medium-term plans are created from progression documentation and longer-term plans to ensure coherent coverage of key knowledge, skills and concepts and clear progression routes over a sequence of lessons. Prior learning is evident on plans which supports teachers with ensuring key knowledge is revisited. Senior leaders and subject leaders will monitor planning for compliance. Reading is a high priority for the school where the selection of texts has been thought about carefully and invested in heavily. Text have been carefully mapped out to ensure they compliment the wider curriculum at an appropriate age-related standard. There is a commitment for children to gain a love of reading which is evident through the reading areas throughout school. Teachers react to the needs of the children and each cohort to ensure that the children’s needs are being met. Whether this is through SEND or cohort specific needs. The emotional needs of the children are met through a variety of external and internal specialists including a play therapist, counsellor, educational psychologist, LSAT, Mental Health Support Practitioner, behaviour and SEND outreach, Talk and drawing and ELSA. Children are immersed in a variety of experiences throughout their time at Captain Webb Primary & Nursery. These are often at the start of new learning to enhance their understanding and support children within knowing more and remembering more. Forest school is available to all pupils throughout the year to enhance the children’s love of learning and enquiry skills. They gain lifelong skills outside of classroom environment. During their time at Captain Webb Primary & Nursery, children will have the opportunity to attend Arthog Outreach (Y3 &Y5), Arthog residential (Y4) and France in Y6. Assessment for learning opportunities take place in lesson to assess prior knowledge and information gained in a lesson. Teachers use these to address any misconceptions. To support our assessment of the core subjects (English, Mathematics and Science) we use Ruth Miskin Assessments for RWI, Salford Reading ages, Fluency assessments, White Rose Mathematical tests & Rising Stars for Science. We capture data at 3 points across the academic year at the end of the of the Autumn, Spring and Summer Term to ensure that all children are making at least expected progress. By the time children leave Captain Webb Primary & Nursery, they have the appropriate knowledge and skills required to be secondary ready. Assessment Policy 2024.25

Our School Governing Body What do our school governors do? ​ Governors are volunteers who are responsible for overseeing the management side of a school: strategy, policy, budgeting and staffing. They enable our school to run as effectively as possible, working alongside senior leaders and supporting teachers to provide excellent education to children. Being a school governor is a commitment to attending governing body meetings which consider issues such as setting the school vision, mitigating financial risk and scrutinising educational outcomes. They are also involved in our school community, acting as critical friends to the headteacher and senior leaders. Governors bring a wide range of skills and expertise from their professional lives to the governing board and we benefit greatly from working with these skilled volunteers, for example some of our governors have experience of finance, safeguarding, school management and human resources. A governor with business know-how can transform the running of a school. ​ Core governor responsibilities Setting the strategic direction Governing bodies are the key strategic decision makers in every school. Along with the Head Teacher, it is the job of our governing body to set the school’s aims and objectives around how the school will develop and improve. They set the policies, formulate plans and agree targets to help our school achieve these objectives, as well as regularly reviewing their strategic framework in light of that progress. Creating robust accountability The governing body is there to support and challenge our school’s senior leadership team. They play a crucial role in holding our Head Teacher to account for securing the best possible outcomes for our pupils. By challenging key decisions and asking pertinent questions about the school’s performance data, our governors aim to guarantee high standards in education. Ensuring financial probity Governing bodies have a strategic role in the financial management of schools. Their key responsibilities include, setting financial priorities through the school development plan, 3 year financial plan and the annual budget. They also decide on how our school’s delegated budget should be spent in accordance with the school improvement plan and statutory curriculum requirement. ​ How does our Governing Body work? ​ Governing body meetings We hold full governing body meetings twice a term (we no longer have separate committees). We send out all the supporting documentation a week prior to these meeting to allow Governors to have time to read and familiarise themselves with the paperwork. It also gives them time to raise any questions they might have, and challenge the information provided. Whilst there are many important aspects of the role of a governor, the most important is the business that takes place at these meetings. School visits Our Governing body is responsible for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of our school and its curriculum. School visits help our governors to understand more about the school and the reality of school life. Governor visits to classrooms are not a form of inspection but serve as a clear monitoring function on the implementation of the school’s strategic planning. Governor visits are encouraged. ​ Link Governors ​ The Headteacher, with the support of her leadership team, draft a school development plan (every September). This document examines all the areas in the school, which require additional focus, to ensure the best possible outcomes for all the children. The development plan is created from children's progress data, reviews by the School Improvement Partner, the Ofsted report, and general observance of the school in action. The Governors have the responsibility of ensuring this plan is effectively targeted, and that the school performs the actions that are needed. To help the full governing body with this duty each governor is assigned a role linked specifically to each area of the development plan, and it is this Link Governors duty to report back their observations and findings to the full governors. A copy of the development plan can be found here . ​ ​ ​ ​ Below are several documents detailing who are governors are, how they were elected and the duration of their service, the code of conduct which they must follow, the rules of the meetings and decision making processes, and the dates the meetings will be held.

Phonics Curriculum Statement What is Phonics? Phonics is the method of teaching reading through the identification of sounds and graphemes. All words are made up of individual sounds. These sounds are merged together to form words. e.g. in ‘mat’ we have the sounds ‘m’, ‘a’, ‘t’, ship – ‘sh’, ‘i’, ‘p’. A grapheme is another name for the letters we use to write the sound. The spelling of that sound on the page. The new National Curriculum ensures that all children are taught Phonics systematically. This gives your children the tools to read any word. What is Read Write Inc? At Captain Webb, we use Read, Write, Inc. an inclusive synthetic phonic programme to teach our children to read, to write and to spell. We have adopted this as our whole school approach as the programme facilitates a graduated and tailored approach to learning basic sounds and letter formation before advancing to more complex sounds and reading for comprehension. The programme moves with integrity from learning to read to reading to learn. This video, taken from the Ruth Miskin website, explains the scheme in more detail: https://youtu.be/sjlPILhk7bQ Teaching Phonics at Captain Webb We start teaching the programme in your child’s Reception year and then continue until they have worked their way through the whole reading scheme. Our aim is for all children to complete the programme by the end of the first half term of Year 2. Those children who have not reached the expected level by the time they leave KS1 will continue to access the RWI programme and receive additional targeted intervention to ensure they catch up with their peers. RWI is taught through daily phonic lessons where we teach sounds. Children practise reading and spelling words containing these sounds, then we give children decodable books containing sounds and words they can read. They read each storybook four times at school and again with you at home. We assess all children on the scheme every half term, to ensure that they are placed in the appropriate group for their reading ability. This also allows us to quickly identify any children who need some support to access the learning at the level of the group. If this arises, we provide one-to-one tutoring for the child in accordance with the Read, Write, Inc scheme, to help them make rapid progress and once again be at the level of their group. Groups are taught by either teachers or teaching assistants who have had Read, Write, Inc phonics training; in utilising so many staff, we can ensure that groups are kept as small as possible and that the teaching the children receive is tailored to their needs. To find out more information on the half termly progress expectations for Phonics, please click on the link below. Half Termly Progress Expectations - Phonics In Reception, children begin by learning the Set 1 sounds. Set 1 Sounds are taught in the following order together with rhymes to help children form the letters correctly and instantly recognise sounds ready for blending. For the set 1 handwriting rhymes please click on this link. Handwriting Rhymes They also begin learning to blend sounds together to make words after learning the first 5 sounds, firstly through practising oral blending, also known as Fred Talk. Then, when they can blend independently, they progress on to reading green words. As soon as children can read green words, they begin to read stories in their Read, Write, Inc sessions. Each storybook is matched to the sounds they can already read, which sets them up for success and helps to build their confidence with reading. Each colour set also contains 5 non-fiction texts It is through these storybooks that we teach children red words, which are irregular words that are not phonetically plausible and cannot be sounded out (Fred Talked). Each storybook is taught in the same way, with children practising reading the green words in the story and also the red words, before they begin to read the book. Children will then read the book several times to help build their fluency and comprehension skills. ​ Order of Story books: Children will hopefully follow the order listed below. The expectation is that all children will leave Year One as confident speedy readers, ready to take on the challenges of Year Two. However, some children may need extra support and your teacher will talk to you about this. ​ Books Green Words in Books Red Ditty 1-10 Read More Green 1-10 Read More Purple 1-10 Read More Pink 1-10 Read More Orange 1-12 Read More Yellow 1-10 Read More Blue 1-10 Read More Grey 1-13 Read More When the children move on to Green story books, they will begin to learn Set 2 Sounds – the long vowels. When they are very confident with all of set 1 and 2 they are taught Set 3 Sounds. Speed Sounds Set 3 Nonsense Words also known as alien Words As well as learning to read and blend real words children will have plenty of opportunities to apply their sound recognition skills on reading ‘Nonsense words also known as alien words’. These words will also feature heavily in the Year One Phonics Screening check in the summer term. To find out more about the Year 1 Phonics Screening check please click on this link. https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/at-school/primary-school-assessment-tests/year-1-phonics-screening-check/ Spelling Spelling will only start in Reception when children are ready to write and form their letters. Children will use first use ‘Fred fingers’ to first sound out a word before they write it down. Children learn how to spell rather than just get tested. Furthermore, this way of teaching spellings allows children to use Fred fingers whenever they get stuck with spelling a word. Children pinch each sound on fingers before writing the word. What can you do to help? 1. Use pure sounds, not letter names We teach using pure sounds. We pronounce the sounds clearly, using pure sounds (‘m’ not’ muh’, ’s’ not ‘suh’, etc.) so that your child will be able to blend the sounds together to make words more easily. To hear how to pronounce sounds correctly, watch the following video. https://youtu.be/s6OiU2h3sUI 2. Use Fred Talk to read and spell words (see above) 3. Listen to your child read their Storybook every day. 4. Read aloud a variety of stories to your child every day. Our school library has a wonderful selection of picture books, speak to our admin team about loaning out books to read at home. ​ You can access online resources (see below) where there are tips and videos to give you more information to help you to understand more about Phonics, Read Write Inc. and how to practise reading and writing with your child at home.

Obecność w szkole ​ ​ ​ Cele i zadania Rada Zarządzająca Kapitana Webba Primary przywiązuje dużą wagę do osiągania standardów i uważa, że ​​doskonała frekwencja uczniów i punktualność są niezbędne. Aby dzieci mogły osiągnąć swój potencjał, uczniowie muszą być silnie zmotywowani do nauki oraz chętni i chętni do uczęszczania do szkoły. Regularna, punktualna obecność wyrobi dobre nawyki, które będą wspierać ich przez całe życie. Aby to osiągnąć, Zarządcy i personel zobowiązują się do współpracy z rodzicami, aby zapewnić, że szkoła osiągnie MINIMUM 96% frekwencji w całej szkole. ​ Rząd oczekuje od nas: • Promuj dobrą frekwencję i ograniczaj absencję, w tym nieobecność stałą (mniej niż 90%); • Zapewnienie każdemu uczniowi dostępu do edukacji w pełnym wymiarze godzin, do której ma prawo; • Działaj wcześnie, aby zająć się wzorcami nieobecności. Szkoła podstawowa Captain Webb współpracuje z rodzicami i władzami lokalnymi w celu poprawy frekwencji w szkole. ​ Nieobecność zakłóca edukację pojedynczego ucznia i całej klasy. Czy zdajesz sobie sprawę, że dzieci, które nie uczęszczają regularnie: ​ Nie osiągaj dobrych wyników na egzaminach Trudno utrzymać przyjaźnie Są bardziej skłonni do angażowania się w przestępczość Pomiń możliwości dalszego kształcenia i świata pracy. ​ Jak wypada Twoje dziecko? ​ ​ ​ Nieobecność może być autoryzowana wyłącznie przez dyrektora, w granicach określonych w przepisach dotyczących edukacji (rejestracji uczniów) (Anglia) 2006. Dyrektorzy nie mogą udzielać zgody na urlop w czasie semestru, z wyjątkiem wyjątkowych okoliczności. Opiekun ds. edukacji (EWO) - Helen Carolina Attendance Policy School Opening Times The school gates open at 8:35am and classes start at 8:45am . Any child arriving after 8:45am will be marked as late. It is important to ensure your child in in school for the start of class as this is an important time to settle and prepare for the day ahead as well as receiving instructions and introductions into the first lesson. School finishes at 3:15pm . DfE - Working Together To Improve School Attendance Guidance (including changes to penalties for absence) From August 19th 2024 the Government have introduced a new ‘national framework for Penalty Notices’. (in Telford & Wrekin the changes apply from 1st September 2024). There are significant changes that parents need to be aware of: If your child has 10 sessions of unauthorised absence in a 10 school week rolling period, you may be issued with a Penalty Notice. These 10 sessions may include any unauthorised absence, including leave in term time and do not have to be consecutive. Penalty Notices are increasing to £160 from September 2024. This can be reduced to £80 but only for the first Penalty Notice issued, if paid within 21 days – this reduction does not apply to any subsequent Penalty Notice. Any 2nd Penalty Notice, to the same parent for the same child, issued within three years of the date of the first Penalty Notice will be charged at a flat rate of £160 A third Penalty Notice will not be issued within a three year rolling period, to the same parent for the unauthorised absence of the same child, - alternative action or legal measures will be utilised for subsequent offences. If in an individual case the local authority believes a Penalty Notice would be appropriate, they retain the discretion to issue one before the threshold is met. For example, when a parent purposefully tries to avoid a Penalty Notice by taking their child out of school when there is only four pupil days in school and the fifth day is for example a PD day or bank holiday attached to that week. In some circumstances a ‘Notice to Improve’ may be issued – However, a Notice to Improve will only be used in cases where support is appropriate. They will not be issued in cases of unauthorised leave in term time for holidays, where information for parents is included on school’s website or a simple warning by the school that a Penalty Notice could be issued if unauthorised leave in term time is taken will suffice. ‘Parents should always apply to the Headteacher for any request for leave in term time by completing a request form available from school. (DfE guidance states schools should not authorise leave retrospectively so any leave in term time taken without a request being submitted will be unauthorised absence)’. In developing and publishing the new national framework, the Government has renewed appeals to parents not to take their children out of school during term time. The Governors and Headteacher of this school support this and students will only be given permission to take leave in term time if there are exceptional circumstances. The DfE Guidance Working Together to Improve School Attendance (Aug 2024) states that: Generally, the DfE does not consider the need or desire for a holiday or other absence for the purpose of leisure and recreation to be an exceptional circumstance. (Paragraph 38.) Each application for leave in term time will be considered and if it is agreed and authorised the Headteacher will determine the duration of any leave. However, if the application is not agreed and the absence occurs the dates will be unauthorised. Parents will be notified of any decision in writing. This notification may be hand delivered directly to the parent or posted to the parents’ home address. ​ As a school we are asked to inform you that in line with Telford and Wrekin Council Policy, if your child is absent for 10 school sessions within a 10 week rolling period and that absence is unauthorised, you may be subject to a Penalty Notice fine, criteria is as detailed above. Link to DfE full Guidance on 'Working together to improve school attendance - August 2024' Below is the presentation shared with parents (on the 7/10/2024) outlining the changes to Working together to Improve Attendance (released Aug 2024), and how it will affect parents.

Niezapomniane przeżycia Zapewnienie dzieciom znaczących „pamiętnych doświadczeń” jest kluczowym elementem nauki w szkole podstawowej Captain Webb. Na początku każdego tematu półrocza, coroczna grupa albo udaje się na wizytę, albo ma dzień tematyczny prowadzony przez eksperta w tej dziedzinie. Umożliwia to dzieciom doświadczenie z pierwszej ręki ważnych elementów dla każdego obszaru tematycznego uczenia się; słyszeć i używać kluczowego słownictwa; kontekstualizować ich pisanie i matematykę oraz rozwijać solidne zrozumienie odpowiednich pojęć historycznych, geograficznych lub naukowych. Zapewniamy również naszym dzieciom wiele możliwości nauki na świeżym powietrzu poprzez całodniowe i stacjonarne wizyty w Arthog Outreach Centre w Walii oraz wyjazd do Francji w klasie szóstej! Naszym celem jest zapewnienie, że (poprzez zwiedzanie muzeów lokalnych i regionalnych oraz miejsc o znaczeniu historycznym i geograficznym) dzieci opuszczają naszą szkołę pod koniec Etapu Kluczowego 2 z kapitałem kulturowym i głębokim zrozumieniem tego, skąd pochodzą. ​ Dziecko, które spędza swoje lata w szkole podstawowej w Captain Webb Primary School, przeżyje w szkole dwa dni tematyczne prowadzone przez nauczycieli; odbył cztery wycieczki do lokalnej społeczności; odwiedził pięć miejsc o znaczeniu lokalnym; uczył się od czternastu ekspertów w swojej dziedzinie; odwiedził osiem punktów geograficznych i historycznych oraz doświadczył artefaktów i wystaw z dziewięciu różnych muzeów! Recepcja doświadczyła szeregu egzotycznych zwierząt w ramach tematu „Co się dzieje, gdy zasypiamy?”. Rok 2 odwiedza Park Hall Farm na początku ich tematu „Muck, bałagan i mieszanki” Rok 4 zbudował tipi w „Dzień Rdzennych Amerykanów” podczas tematu „Wycieczka samochodowa w USA” i odwiedził Wydział Nauki Langley podczas tematu „Mikstury”. Rok 5 doświadczył bycia Tudorami podczas warsztatów na temat „Precz z głową!” Rok 6 odwiedził Birmingham Sea Life Centre w ramach tematu „Królestwo Mrozu”. Oto, co nasza Samorząd Uczniowski ma do powiedzenia na temat pamiętnych doświadczeń Szkoły Podstawowej im. Kapitana Webba: ​ Czym jest niezapomniane przeżycie? ​ „Kiedy mamy doświadczonych gości lub kiedy wybieramy się na wycieczki, które będziemy pamiętać” Dlaczego robimy niezapomniane doświadczenia? Aby dobrze się bawić i zapamiętać te doświadczenia na zawsze – nawet gdy jesteśmy starsi Aby pomóc w nauce – zobaczyć rzeczy w prawdziwym życiu Aby pomóc nam w naszym pisaniu – abyśmy wiedzieli o czym piszemy. To dla nas realne. Kiedy się o nich dowiadujesz, możesz sobie wyraźniej wyobrazić rzeczy. Aby pomóc nam również we wszystkich innych tematach. Wkładają słownictwo w sytuacje z życia codziennego. Czasami używamy go do pracy kontekstowej w matematyce – w zeszłym roku pojechaliśmy do zoo w Chester i zaprojektowaliśmy nowy park, gdy poznawaliśmy okolicę. Możemy się dobrze bawić i wspominać wspaniałe czasy w naszej szkole. Kiedy przychodzi ekspert, mogą nam pomóc. Pomagają nam się uczyć. Jeśli pójdziesz do muzeum, nie możesz zadawać pytań o przedmioty… ale możesz zapytać eksperta! Czy niezapomniane doświadczenia pomagają w nauce? Tak... zwłaszcza w pisaniu, matematyce, temacie, nauce, czytaniu, historii, geografii i RE (kiedy idziemy do kościoła) „Gdybyśmy nie robili już niezapomnianych doświadczeń, nie zobaczylibyśmy rzeczy w prawdziwym życiu, a to wpłynęłoby na naszą naukę. Szkoła nie byłaby tak dobra”. Jak myślisz, jakie było Twoje najlepsze niezapomniane doświadczenie do tej pory? ​ West Midlands Safari Park, ponieważ musieliśmy wybrać się na przejażdżki, które pomogły nam w pisaniu narracji, które rozgrywało się w parku rozrywki. Western Park, ponieważ robiliśmy zabawki i uczyliśmy się o zabawkach. Park Hall Farm, ponieważ mogłem zobaczyć wszystkie zwierzęta, o których się uczyliśmy. Pokaz Złotego Biletu, bo zobaczyliśmy klauna. Widząc, jak naukowiec przeprowadza sekcję serca, ponieważ pokazał nam, jak wyglądają wszystkie komory serca. Pizza Express, bo naprawdę musimy zrobić pizzę! Pojechaliśmy na farmę i było świetnie, bo zobaczyliśmy wyścig świń. Niezapomniany! Robienie prawdziwego tipi, gdy poznawaliśmy rdzennych Amerykanów, ponieważ doświadczyliśmy, jak naprawdę żyli. Stone Age Center, ponieważ faktycznie musieliśmy użyć prawdziwego węgla drzewnego do pracy artystycznej, tak jak ludzie z epoki kamienia. ​ ​

Jak zarządzamy i chronimy Twoje dane Ogólne rozporządzenie o ochronie danych (RODO) ​ Ogólne rozporządzenie o ochronie danych (RODO) to ogólnounijny akt prawny, który określi, w jaki sposób dane osobowe osób są przetwarzane i przechowywane w bezpieczny sposób, oraz jakie prawa przysługują osobom w odniesieniu do ich własnych danych. ​ „Dane osobowe” oznaczają informacje, które umożliwiają identyfikację żyjącej osoby. ​ Główne zasady ​ RODO określa kluczowe zasady, z którymi należy przetwarzać wszystkie dane osobowe. ​ Dane muszą być: przetwarzane zgodnie z prawem, rzetelnie i przejrzyście; zbierane w konkretnych, wyraźnych i prawnie uzasadnionych celach; ograniczone do tego, co niezbędne do celów, w których są przetwarzane; dokładne i aktualizowane; trzymane bezpiecznie; przechowywane tylko tak długo, jak jest to konieczne z powodów, dla których zostały zebrane ​ Istnieją również silniejsze prawa osób fizycznych w odniesieniu do ich własnych danych. ​ Prawa osoby fizycznej obejmują: uzyskanie informacji o sposobie wykorzystania jej danych, dostęp do swoich danych, sprostowanie nieprawidłowych informacji, usunięcie danych, ograniczenie sposobu wykorzystywania danych, przeniesienie danych z jednej organizacji do drugiej i sprzeciwić się w ogóle wykorzystywaniu ich danych ​ Nowe wymagania ​ RODO jest podobne do Ustawy o ochronie danych (DPA) 1998 (której szkoły już przestrzegają), ale wzmacnia wiele zasad DPA. Główne zmiany to: ​ Szkoły muszą wyznaczyć inspektora ochrony danych, który doradzi w zakresie zgodności z RODO i innymi odpowiednimi przepisami o ochronie danych protection Informacje o ochronie prywatności muszą być jasne i proste oraz zawierać dodatkowe informacje – „podstawę prawną” przetwarzania w szkole, prawa jednostki w odniesieniu do jej własnych danych Szkoły będą miały tylko miesiąc na spełnienie próśb o dostęp do przedmiotów i w większości przypadków nie mogą pobierać opłat Jeżeli szkoła potrzebuje zgody osoby fizycznej na przetwarzanie danych, zgoda ta musi być dobrowolna, konkretna, świadoma i jednoznaczna Wprowadzono nowe, specjalne zabezpieczenia danych dzieci Biuro Komisarza ds. Informacji musi zostać powiadomione w ciągu 72 godzin od naruszenia danych Organizacje będą musiały wykazać, w jaki sposób przestrzegają nowego prawa Szkoły będą musiały przeprowadzić ocenę wpływu na ochronę danych, rozważając wykorzystanie danych w nowy sposób lub wdrożenie nowej technologii do monitorowania uczniów data ​ Jak dążymy do osiągnięcia tego? ​ W Captain Webb Primary School poważnie traktujemy ochronę danych i zapewniamy pełną zgodność zarówno z ustawą o ochronie danych, jak i nowym ustawodawstwem RODO. W tym zakresie podjęliśmy następujące działania: ​ Jesteśmy zarejestrowani jako Administrator Danych w Information Commissioners Office – nasz numer rejestracyjny to Z6446791 Zatrudniliśmy inspektora ochrony danych na podstawie umowy z władzami lokalnymi. Zaktualizowaliśmy naszą Politykę ochrony danych i zapewniamy jej coroczne przeglądy w celu zapewnienia zgodności z przepisami (patrz poniżej). Polityka zawiera nowe wytyczne dotyczące składania wniosków o dane oraz procesu, który rodzice/opiekunowie będą musieli przestrzegać. Zaktualizowaliśmy naszą Politykę dotyczącą wolności informacji i zapewniamy, że jest ona corocznie sprawdzana w celu zapewnienia zgodności z przepisami (patrz poniżej). Przeprowadziliśmy audyt danych wszystkich informacji otrzymanych, przechowywanych lub udostępnianych przez szkołę. Obejmuje to wskazanie osoby odpowiedzialnej za każdy strumień danych, analizę sposobu, w jaki dane są otrzymywane, przechowywane, ich znaczenia, czy mamy prawny cel przechowywania danych i czy są one usuwane/niszczone w odpowiednim czasie. Potwierdziliśmy, że organizacje, z którymi udostępniamy dane, również przestrzegają przepisów RODO i ochrony danych. Zaktualizowaliśmy naszą Politykę prywatności (patrz poniżej) Zorganizowaliśmy coroczne szkolenie z zakresu ochrony danych i nowego RODO dla wszystkich pracowników, którzy przetwarzają dane (tj. mają dostęp/korzystają z posiadanych przez nas informacji).

MFL 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 Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. The 2014 National Curriculum for Modern Foreign Languages Appendix A aims to ensure that all children receive: A high-quality languages education which should foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. Teaching should enable pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. At Captain Webb we are committed to ensuring that teaching enables pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. We recognise that competence in another language enables children to interpret, create and exchange meaning within and across cultures. We believe that by teaching MFL we provide the foundation for learning further languages, as well as the means to access international opportunities for study and work later in life. The teaching of French in KS2 provides an appropriate balance of spoken and written language and lays the foundations for further foreign language teaching at KS3. Implementation At Captain Webb we teach French as this is the first language that our feeder secondary schools start with and the language that staff are most familiar with. Children are introduced to French in the EYFS through basic classroom routines. Throughout KS1, children are included in participating in special occasions such as World French Day. This enables the children to develop early language acquisition skills that facilitate their understanding of the patterns of language and how these are similar to , or differ from English. In KS2, French is taught to each class during a weekly timetabled lesson of 45 minutes. Lessons throughout KS2 support the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing whilst in addition learning about Francophone cultures. Children are taught skills to enable them to listen attentively and respond by joining in with rhymes, games and songs. We emphasise the speaking and listening skills over the reading and writing skills. We follow the primary MFL Scheme of work for French provided by La Jolie Ronde which thus ensures coverage and progression across school. Knowledge and skills in French are mapped out across the school from Year 3 – Year 6. At the beginning of a new unit of learning, children have the opportunity to recall prior learning as well as what they would like to find out. This informs the programme of study and also ensures that lessons are relevant and take account of children’s different starting points. Children develop an appreciation of a variety of stories, poems, rhymes and songs (particularly action songs). These are delivered through the curriculum content, as well as through using a variety of native French speakers through the aid of recordings. As confidence grows children are encouraged to record their work through pictures, captions and sentences. Cross curricular links have been identified in PE, music, art and DT, and are taken advantage of in order to deepen learning. In Year 6, children have the opportunity to visit France in order to experience a different language and culture. An After School Club provides children with the experience of learning about Francophone cultures in a fun environment. We believe introducing a physical element into some games serves to reinforce memory. Impact We believe that by the time our children leave our school: Children will be able to communicate with adults and each other in French. Children will have become aware that a language has a structure, and that the structure differs from one language to another having developed their language through the four key skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. Children will learn how the language skills acquired can be applied to a range of different languages. Children will have developed an understanding of Francophone customs and cultures consequently having further respect for others. Children will increase their self-esteem. Children will transfer to KS3 effectively and successfully and will be well prepared to continue and develop their language skills.

Intent ​ ​ At Captain Webb Primary School, our overarching principle about learning is: ‘Knowing more and Remembering more’. We have designed our curriculum so that more time is given to embed key knowledge, make connections and be ready for the next stage of a child’s learning journey. Through their growing knowledge and understanding, we aim to make all our children confident and competent mathematicians, who can make links in their maths learning to other areas of the curriculum. ​ We aim to provide all pupils with a challenging mathematics curriculum and high-quality teaching to produce individuals who are numerate, creative, independent, inquisitive, enquiring and confident. We also aim to provide a stimulating environment and adequate resources so that pupils can develop their mathematical skills to the full. ​ Through our well-planned maths learning journeys, we provide opportunities which cater for the needs of all individuals and empowers them with the necessary skills and knowledge to become successful in their future adventures. We incorporate sustained levels of challenge through varied and high-quality activities and ensure that children are on track at each stage of their education in fluency, reasoning and problem solving. Thus, in turn will prepare them for the next stage of their education and a successful working life. ​ Implementation (Planning an inclusive curriculum). ​ Our inclusive knowledge-based curriculum plans for success. Through small, well-sequenced steps (as outlined in our medium-term plans) new mathematical concepts are introduced using a ‘Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract’ approach. This enables all children to experience hands-on learning when discovering new mathematical knowledge and allows them to have clear models and images to aid their understanding. This also ensures that models of proof are constructed to exemplify mathematical laws and principles. ​ ​ The Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract model also allows children to build on their knowledge of key concepts in small steps and allows all learners to keep up with the curriculum demands. This approach to Maths is reflected in our calculation policy and pedagogy, with Teachers modelling and exploring key knowledge through the I-We-YOU approach. ​ At Captain Webb the scope of our curriculum is inclusive and ambitious. Through declarative, procedural and conceptual knowledge, teacher’s use a curriculum ,engineered by the National Curriculum and White Rose, to ensure that children are exposed to mathematical knowledge and concepts which will prepare them for their next stage in education. It is our belief that mathematicians are best developed through memorisation of core facts and formula. ​ In EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Maths is taught on a daily basis. In each aspect of the Maths Curriculum and throughout each key phase, the children embark on a contextualised mathematical journey. This ensures that there is breadth and depth to the curriculum offer. Each journey consists of the following:​ ​ 1) Activating Prior Knowledge Use of a variety of assessments to revisit and build on pupils’ existing knowledge and understanding.​ 2) Instruction Use of well-planned manipulatives and representations which the children can then draw upon independently in the future. (See Jottings Policy)​ 3) Modelling of strategies The teaching of methods and procedures in order for the children to solve calculations in preparation for reasoning and problem solving (See Calculation Policy).​ 4) Guided Practice Opportunities for the children to make connections between mathematical facts, procedures and concepts, thus developing a rich network of mathematical knowledge.​ 5) Independent Practice The development of independence and motivation in order to develop metacognition-the ability to independently plan, monitor and evaluate their thinking and learning. 6) Structured reflection The use of contextualised tasks and resources which challenge and support pupils’ mathematics; deepening their thinking with models of proof, generalisation and conjectures. Through our creative curriculum approach, we also seek to explore and utilise further opportunities to use and apply mathematics across all subject areas which is promoted during our Theme work in the afternoon. Early Years The 2024 Development Matters, which supports the statutory framework, is used to drive the curriculum and is supported by Number sense. It is widely accepted that early acquisition of core maths facts is a significant indication of future success. In reflection of this, Number sense was introduced in Reception in September 2023. This program is reflective of phonics. Its rigorous and repetitive approach ensures children retain knowledge in order for them to move on to the next stage of their learning. The curriculum in Early years focuses on depth over breadth. Pupils are encouraged to develop their Problem Solving, Reasoning and fluency in a broad range of contexts in which they can explore, learn, enjoy, practise, discuss and extend their skills. Pupils are encouraged to exploit their mathematical potential in both indoor and outdoor enabling environments. They are provided with a wide range of activities that promote regular active participation, exploration of real-life problems, development of imaginative play and early experience of mathematical language. All pupils are supported positively and encouraged to gain confidence and competence in their skills. ​ It is essential that children leave Early Years with a strong sense of number so that children are ready for the Year 1 curriculum. ​ This is achieved through: ​ A sequenced, progressive learning journey. Ensuring children are emersed in maths so that times like snack time and play are incidental opportunities to revisit knowledge. Planning activities are in place with a clear intent for each session. Ensuring independent activities consolidate prior learning or pre-teaching concepts to come. Parental engagement and opportunities for families/carers to engage in the curriculum both in school and at home. Enquiry based sessions which embedded through play.​ ​ Key Stages 1 and 2 The scope of our curriculum design ensures that: There are systematic opportunities for retrieval, practice and overlearning. The learning journey allows children to practice and revisit key knowledge (as stated in our progression documents). Children revisit to the point of automaticity. Testing secures facts and methods into the long-term memory. ​ Planning for Success ​ Declarative Knowledge Declarative knowledge (fluency) is taught daily so that pupils know useful facts and formulae and develop an understanding of relationships and familiar patterns. Every child’s maths learning journeys start with revisiting previous knowledge in order to make connections with the new knowledge to be taught. Sufficient time and resources allow children to gain knowledge and be able retain key information at this stage. ​ Procedural knowledge Procedural knowledge is the teaching of procedures and algorithms and is a fundamental part of the learning journey. The school has a clear calculation policy which ensures that there is a reliable, accurate and consistent forward projecting approach. This stage of the learning journey enables our pupils to process mathematical information accurately and at speed. ​ Conceptual Knowledge At this stage, the children will know a combination of methods and facts in order to be exposed to a variety of problems and reasoning. These are taught using the variation model so that the children are exposed to a strategy and can over learn this in order to have a get way into solving a range of challenging, rich and sophisticated problems. ​ Practice A core element of our curriculum design is to allow children sufficient time to practice to the point of automaticity. Practice and revisiting of key knowledge is completed daily as part of morning activities; during our KIRF time (Key Instant Recall Facts) where children focus on knowing key facts in order to access the curriculum and be fluent in key skills and in lesson time. ​ Assessment NCETM states that: ‘ If a pupil fails to grasp a concept or procedure, then this needs to be identified quickly and gaps in understanding addressed systematically to prevent them falling behind.’ In reflection of this, assessment grids of non-negotiables are used to ascertain what must be known at this point to stay on the long -term trajectory. ​ Success Children can identify and talk about their success against the targets given to them at the start of the unit. These are then shared with parents along with next steps. The Use of Knowledge Grids At Captain Webb we have introduced the use of knowledge organisers to support children in their lessons and at home. These have proved a valuable tool in making children resourceful and independent learners. This is because: ​ The knowledge organisers include judiciously selected tier 2 and tier 3 vocabulary. This vocabulary will be taught explicitly to students. The knowledge organisers incorporate the building blocks for learning in that subject that all students are entitled to know and understand. The knowledge organisers are designed to aid retrieval practice and metacognitive learning. ​ Here are some examples of the knowledge organisers that we are currently using in different areas in maths: ​ ​ Knowledge Organisers are used to promote planning, teaching and retrieving previous learning that will have the intended positive impact on our pupils’ outcomes, experiences and future opportunities. ​ Due to the fact that pupils can access their maths knowledge organisers at any time, pupils are supported to become resilient and independent learners. An Inclusive Approach-Adaptive Teaching Curriculum Considerations Adaptive teaching is when teachers “adapt teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of all pupils”. Specifically, adaptive teaching requires teachers to: Know when and how to differentiate appropriately, using approaches which enable pupils to be taught effectively. Have a secure understanding of how a range of factors can inhibit pupils’ ability to learn and how best to overcome these. Demonstrate an awareness of the physical, social and intellectual development of children and know how to adapt teaching to support pupils’ education at different stages of development. Have a clear understanding of the needs of all pupils – including those with SEND, those of high ability, those with English as an additional language – and be able to use and evaluate distinctive teaching approaches to engage and support them. ​ Scaffolding We understand that pupils are likely to learn at different rates and to require different levels and types of support from teachers to succeed. As a result of this, we seek to understand pupils’ differences, including their different levels of prior knowledge and potential barriers to learning. We adapt teaching in a responsive way, including providing targeted support to pupils who are struggling and offering the opportunity to think deeply within the concept for those who are ready for challenge. This will increase pupil success. At Captain Webb we follow the mastery curriculum which ensures every learner is confident with a concept before moving onto the next stage. With the mastery approach, most learners will be working towards the same outcome, with teaching being tailored and scaffolded to meet individual needs. We do acknowledge that there maybe some learners who may require a more personalised approach, including specific learning outcomes and provision to develop fundamental skills. We believe all learners should work alongside their peers. Research by EEF states that ‘the best mass learning happens when learners can talk through their ideas with a teacher or a partner and therefore it is encouraged this productive discussion through lessons when planning opportunities talk we ensure that all learners have the support they need to access these discussions which include scaffolding such as sentence frames, visual support and all peer partners’. We believe it is important that all learners are given the equal chance to learn core knowledge appropriate to their age. These are highlighted as end points in our Assessments and are crucial so that children can keep up, not catch up. ​ Key Stage 1 Learners should have 1-1 correspondence when counting Learners should develop automaticity in addition and subtraction facts to and within 10. Ensure learners have a concept of ‘more than’ and ‘less then’ and can describe the relative sizing of number. Encourage learners to represent numbers in many different ways in pictures, as calculation, in words. Ensure learners can explain the place value of 10s and ones. Use resources such as 10s frames numicon and base 10 blocks confidently to support learning where needed. Key stage 2 Ensure learners are secure with all times tables by the end of year four as this acts as a foundation for other maths and concepts. Learners should have secure understanding of place value up to 10,000 and beyond. Learners begin to apply their knowledge of number and written methods to reasoning problems. Strategies to Scaffold learning. At Captain Webb, we support learners in a range of ways to help them to keep up with the curriculum demands. Our adapted lessons consider how all learners can: Retain vocabulary. Access the Maths curriculum despite literacy difficulties. Allocate time to develop conceptual understanding. Be fluent in number facts. Teachers refer to the ‘Whole School SEND Teacher Handbook’ ,the local Maths Hub and Captain Webb’s Strategies for Supporting SEND Document for guidance and support. https://www.wholeschoolsend.org.uk/resources/teacher-handbook-send ) Impact We measure the impact of our curriculum through: Formal and Summative assessments: Reception Baseline Data/ELGs Optional SATs KS1 and Teacher’s Assessment using the framework.

At Captain Webb we prioritise core declarative knowledge from an early age, so that pupils are familiar with the facts and methods that will form the strategies taught and applied later in the learning sequence.’ We strongly believe that mathematical fluency skills help pupils to think faster and more clearly; giving them a formative start in order to tackle complex problem-solving and reasoning questions. The school follows the Numbersense program which systematically teaches factual fluency and provides a progressive approach to achieve factual fluency in additive and multiplicative facts for each and every child. Numbersense Progression Document 2022 - 2025 YEAR 4 MULTIPLICATION PROGRESS CHECK “Leaving primary school with a fundamental grasp of basic numeracy is as important as leaving being able to read. And just as the phonics check has helped more children learn to read, this will ensure more pupils know their times tables.” Nick Gibb, schools minister. In June each year, Year 4 pupils are required to sit a multiplication tables check (MTC). This test is online and will require the children to answer 25 questions on their multiplication knowledge from two to twelves times table. Pupils are given 6 seconds per question with three seconds rest between each question, so the test should last less than 5 minutes. The MTC will establish which pupils’ times table knowledge is at the expected level and will also help identify which pupils are struggling with their times tables so they can get extra support. To help your child prepare for these checks, we progressive introduce multiplication facts from year 1 with the expectation that all facts will be known by the end of Year 4. (See the multiplication Planner). As a school, we also use Time Table Rock Stars. This is an interactive online program which allows your child to practice key facts at speed and allows the teacher to see which facts the children are having difficulty with. Questions on the six, seven, eight, nine and twelve times table are more likely to come up most often and as these are the hardest for most children to learn, it is a good idea to focus on learning these tables with your child.

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

School Games Mark Award 2023.25 Captain Webb received the top accolade for school sport and games: The School Games PLATINUM Award ! This Government led scheme rewards schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. We have achieved this award for 4 years running (excluding COVID years). AWARD WINNING PROVISION OF PE. P.E 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 Implementation Physical Education is taught at Captain Webb Primary School as an area of learning, as well as being integrated where possible with other curriculum areas such as Maths where we provide a contextual opportunity for time and measure. We have implemented a curriculum where pupils from the age of 2 to the age of 11 not only enjoy but also allows them to experience a range of activities that broaden their knowledge and experience. PE consists of two hourly lessons per week. During the summer term Year 5 and 6 receive high quality swimming lessons where there is also a focus on performing lifesaving strokes. ​ The key knowledge and skills of each topic are mapped across each year group. This ensures that children develop their knowledge of games, dance, gymnastics, athletics and outdoor and adventurous activity 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. We teach lessons so that children develop fundamental movement skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others. Every lesson requires the children to think of the importance of preparing their body for physical activity, acquiring and developing new knowledge and skills and also evaluating and improving their performances and the performance of others. ​ As part of the Telford School Sport Partnership children are given a wide range of opportunities to engage in inter and intra competitions throughout the year. This allows them to communicate, collaborate and compete against each other on a consistent basis. At Captain Webb we acquire an outside agency to teach PE alongside class teachers. This ensures that every child receives high quality PE and that teachers receive specialist training on a regular basis. This guarantees sustainability. They also provide opportunities for children to extend their school day by taking part in a variety of activities thus supporting their health and well being during the current pandemic crisis. Our PE Curriculum, along with PSHE and science, teaches children about the importance of healthy living and learning about the need for good nutrition. We aim for children to develop the necessary knowledge and skills which will have a positive impact on their future by becoming physically active citizens to benefit their long-term health and well-being. This is delivered during Health Awareness Week which focus on cross curricular links with PSHE and Science. ​ Impact In order to increase our children’s cultural capital, we provide opportunities for the children to; ​ Inter sporting competitions such as the Crossbar cup. A range of intra sporting competitions such as Archery, Boccia and New Age Curling. Arthog Outreach where children experience canoeing, caving and climbing. Arthog residential visit where children experience a variety of outdoor activities such as, orienteering, mining, mountain walk as well as team building activities where children focus on problem solving. France residential visit where children experience survival skills, scavenger hunt and take part in Chateaux Olympics. ​ The school achieves well in a number of sporting activities and achieved a School Games Mark Gold Award in recognition of its PE provision and children’s access to competitive sports which the school has maintained since 2017. The use of external agencies such as West End Dance also demonstrates the positive impact of the Pe curriculum. We are now working towards achieving an AFPE Quality Games Mark Award which acknowledges and celebrates outstanding practice and innovation in Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity.

We have achieved this in many ways. ​ Within the school week, we provide all children with 2 hours of timetabled PE. A minimum of 1 hour is delivered by a qualified sports coach with the other hour being delivered by the class teacher. During these lessons children aren’t only taught knowledge about the sport they are playing, they are also taught how to warm up and why this is important. PE is also used as a cross curricular link to support the children’s learning. An example of this is the maths unit which focuses on measure, ordinal numbers and time. Here the measure the length of a jump, order where their friends came in a race and time how long it takes their friends to complete a race. In PSHE children are taught how to keep healthy, this includes knowing how to eat a balanced diet and why this is important. ​ In this current financial crisis, we aim to support the parents as much as possible. So to ensure that all children are able to participate in PE with the correct clothing, we provide them with a universal PE kit. This creates an inclusive environment where everyone feels involved. ​ At Captain Webb we also understand the importance of brain breaks. We engage the children in physical activity during the start of a lesson. This usually takes place in EYFS and KS1 where an introductory video to a lesson that promotes movement is shared. The Jack Hartman channel, which is one of our favourites to use, involves maths skills alongside singing and physical movement. Go Noodle is also used, this can range from dancing, yoga and call and respond movement songs. Our Daily Mile track is used in the afternoons in between lessons as a brain break. Children complete laps around the track and complete activities at different stations during their lap. ​ Our swimming programme changed venues this year as our local swimming pool had closed so this meant finding alternative provision further afield. Although this was stressful and more costly to the school it was worth it seeing the enjoyment on the children’s faces and their amazing progress. Due to COVID our swimming percentage of children who can swim 25 metres unaided plummeted to 20%. We therefore prioritised this and spent extra funding and by the end of the sessions, this had increased to 70%. This is our highest percentage to date. ​ Including the statutory two hours of PE we are very proud that we also provide a range of physical lunch time activities. Children can take part in the following carousel activities: daily mile, football, parachute games, adventure playground, acting out stories in forest school and basketball. ​ In addition to this, we have appointed sports leaders throughout the school. Two children represent each year group. These children attend regular meetings with the PE coordinator. During these meetings the leaders have contributed to the breadth of curriculum and after school club activities. They also supported the coordinator with organising Sports Day and with activities on the day. ​ We also offer a range of other sports clubs after school with the aim of appealing to all children; these include netball, hockey, dance, cricket, athletics, and dodgeball. These clubs are provided by teachers, external sports coaches, and local club volunteers. This year the attendance at these clubs has been higher than ever. Our after-school club (wrap around provision) also offer physical activities and games every evening, as well as access to the climbing frame, hall and the playground. To increase our children’s cultural capital and physical activity, we provide these unique opportunities for the children to take part in; ​ Arthog Outreach where Year 3 and Year 5 students experience canoeing and caving. Arthog residential visit where Year 4 pupils experience a variety of outdoor activities such as, orienteering, mining, mountain walking as well as team building activities where children focus on problem solving. France residential visit where Year 6 children experience survival skills, scavenger hunting and take part in Chateaux Olympics. Furthermore, we have established a wide range of links with clubs and sports centres in our local area which have encouraged children to continue to be active outside of the school environment. These links include secondary schools, Shropshire Cricket Board, Hexagon Telford Tigers Schools Partnership, Tennis Shropshire Schools, Multicultural Development Telford & Wrekin, Bikeability and Sports for Champions. As a school, we also advertise and offer taster sessions and assemblies, where coaches come in and allow the children to experience these sports in the school environment. We have recently acquired a new partnership in Sports for Champions. This partnership offers the children of Captain Webb Primary School the opportunity to raise money whilst exercising alongside a Team GB athlete. Bikeability provides children the opportunity to take part in a practical cycling training course, delivered by Telford & Wrekin Council’s Bikeability Team. Bikeability is a national standard cycle training programme designed to give cyclists the skills and confidence to cycle in modern road conditions. ​ Finally, our association with the Telford School Sports Partnership continues to have a positive impact on our PE curriculum. They provide important CPD opportunities for our school staff to upskill and to ensure the quality of lessons they deliver are at a high level. They also provide engaging sporting festivals and transition events. They arrange inter school sport competitions for all abilities and ages. We have entered many all-inclusive competitions including dodgeball, archery, athletics, kwik cricket, new age kurling and football. We also regularly enter more than one team into competitions, ensuring that we offer not only competition for competing, but also competition for participation. This enables a larger proportion of children to experience a competitive environment and ensures that they are exceeding the minimum requirement of being active for 60 minutes a day. ​ In conclusion, through our provision of lunchtime and afterschool clubs, sports leaders, community links, timetabled PE sessions and a wide range of competitions for all abilities, we provide at least the minimum CMO guidelines of 60 minutes of activity per day. As a result of this, children in our school have active lifestyles and they understand the importance of looking after their body and being healthy. This is something that they take forward with them as they leave Captain Webb Primary School environment and transition into secondary school.
