Annual Report of the Governing Body for Danygraig Primary School Group S33

Under the Provision of the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013.Governing bodies will provide parents of registered pupils with an annual report.

It will no longer be necessary for Governing bodies to hold an Annual meeting with parents.

Parents have the right to petition a meeting with Governors up to 3 times a year, signed by either 10% of parents of registered pupils or 30 parents whichever is the lower. Discussion will be on issues relating to the school and not individual pupils.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We the Governors of Danygraig Primary take this opportunity to outline a summary of the responsibilities of the Governing body in the discharge of their duties.

Much of the life of the school, its statistics and achievements, of which there are many are listed in this report. I as chairperson wish to thank my colleagues for their support and commitment throughout the past year.

I also wish to thank the Headteacher and the whole school staff for their unfailing dedication to the education and wellbeing of our children. Most sincerely, I thank you our parents. Your co-operation and continued support in all aspects of school life is greatly appreciated.

Danygraig is making every effort to address the needs and demands of education in the 21st century. It is our aim to ensure that all pupils achieve their full potential.

Working together staff, parents, governors and pupils we can face the challenges ahead.

Health Promoting School

Internet: Internet, e-mail is now established throughout the school. The school adheres to a policy for safe use of the internet.

School uniform: We believe the wearing of school uniform helps bring a sense of pride and belonging to the school and community.

GD 6

School Council: The school council has elected representatives from Yr2-Yr6 they are encouraged to contribute positively. Their opinions and views are invaluable to school evaluation and development

School Assembly: A multi-cultural assembly is held every morning. These are taken by the Head teacher, teaching staff and occasionally local clergy. Pupil achievements and attendance are recognised and celebrated during a weekly awards assembly.

Health and Safety/Wellbeing: All policies are updated regularly, these include medical and health care plans, discrimination and equal opportunities, educational visits, risk assessments, security and internet safety .A full emergency evacuation plan is in place and fire safety training has been completed by all staff. Regular fire drills are carried out and a full business continuity plan is in place. Twelve members of staff have been trained in First Aid. Each classroom now has a designated first aider and provision of first aid boxes has been increased for adequate coverage.

Premises: The school is monitored annually for asbestos, we are graded as black which is very low risk. Staff and contractors are informed of the location and the current plan includes risk assessments and control measures. The boiler house roof has water ingress presenting a danger to the boiler and electric, quotes are being obtained for the completion of safety work. Installation of a poly-tunnel has now been completed enabling the children to grow and sell their own vegetables.

Finger guards have been replaced on all doors to comply with safety policies, and fire safety doors are to be installed in the computer suite. An emergency lighting system has been installed. Negotiations are ongoing with the LA regarding repairs to the playground. The school continues to use an access intercom system and CCTV. A current accessibility plan is in operation with all gates closed during the school day as per Estyn recommendations. The policy is situated in the main office.

Restorative Practise/Safeguarding

All staff and Governors have undertaken training on Restorative Practise procedures and use them appropriately on a daily basis. The safeguarding policy is adhered to by all staff.

Accessibility Plan and Policy: Under the schools accessibility plan a ramped access has been installed. The main office is situated on the ground floor along with a physiotherapy medical room. Disabled changing and toilet facilities are also available. All toilet facilities are on the ground floor, have hand dryers and are cleaned and replenished daily.

Inset (In Service Training): Members of staff are continuing to attend local authority organised and school based training activities in accordance with the schools policy on CPD .(Continuing Professional Development).GD 7

Attendance/Exclusions: Attendance has improved from 91% with an average attendance of 94%. A pastoral support officer is employed to deal with emotional welfare, attendance, social services, admissions, looked after children, and liaison with asylum families and the community. The school is pleased that there have been no exclusions.

Bi-lingual Policy: Danygraig fully promotes bi-lingual policy and practise. Welsh is encouraged in all aspects of school life, activities, subject lessons and displays .It is our aim to also promote the use of welsh in less formal situations ie: breakfast club, canteen and playground.

ALN/SEN: (Additional and Special Learning Needs) Mrs Currenti Assistant Head is the ALN/SEN manager. The school operates two specialist teaching facilities and also provides for the needs of several other children with statements of SEN within mainstream. School action plus entails support from outside agencies such as speech and language therapy, physiotherapy and local health centres. Danygraig also works with EMLAS to provide support for pupils with English as an additional language. A MAT (more able and talented) register is kept and constantly reviewed in order to focus on specific talents and skills. New schemes of work have also been implemented to improve boys learning.

Development Plan and Strategies: The school has an on-going SDP (School Development Plan) with the main aim of raising standards in key skills, pupil performance and attainment. It also addresses Post inspection issues and ongoing challenges. The school uses standardised NFER tests in Maths and English from reception – Year 6 to obtain benchmark data. INCERTS are also used to produce an acceptable format for recording individual progress and reporting LNF (Literacy and Numeracy tests) results to parents.

Monitoring of Standards: The monitoring and evaluation of standards is carried out by the Headteacher and Senior Management Team, curriculum leaders, class teachers and Governors. We have developed a culture of self evaluation for staff and governors. A full programme of subject leader monitoring is in place there is a one year cycle for core subjects and two year cycle for others. Classroom observations take place taking particular notice of the development of Literacy and Numeracy skills within subjects.

Data/Targets: Teacher assessments of learner standards are completed in Year 2 and Year 6.The information is fed into the all Wales Core Data. The school is ranked in a quartile table system along with other similar schools across Wales It is necessary for the school to disaggregate STF(Specialist Teaching Facility) learners from the data to present an accurate picture. A recent report from the ERW places Danygraig in the top quartile the overall judgement being: Learner Outcome and Capacity to improve both GOOD.

GD 8

However the recent Estyn report disagreed and rated the school’s current performance and prospects for improvement to be ADEQUATE. A post inspection action plan is currently being implemented to meet all recommendations.

Primary /Secondary School Liason: Danygraig works closely with our secondary school partner Cefn Hengoed. Staff from partner schools provide curriculum links, transition, meet to discuss pupil information and attend open evenings. Pupils from Danygraig visit on induction and selected activity days. Most Year 6 leavers go on to attend Cefn Hengoed, some however choose to attend other comprehensive schools. Sports tournaments for partner schools have featured strongly.

Finance: The main expenditure in providing an educational establishment has been met by the schools delegated budget. Unfortunately due to Local authority budget cuts the governing body had to recommend staff cuts in order to set a budget.

The budget includes grants for PDG (Pupil Deprivation Grant) and SEG(Strategic Education Grant). Income has been generated from the schools training partnership with Swansea Metropolitan University together with a nominal amount from school lettings. Fundraising and donations from the Friends Association have assisted in school resourcing. The above are in addition to the school budget.

A recent quote from the ERW report states:

Danygraig is a Good to Outstanding School, with

. Good outcomes and Good capacity to improve.

GD 12

http://www.danygraig.swansea.sch.uk/

Premises: The school operates a current accessibility plan. Asbestos – The school is monitored for Asbestos risk. The school is currently graded as Black Grade – Very low risk. The school is monitored annually. An Asbestos Plan is in place. Staff are informed of the location of Asbestos, and of the risks. Contractors working on site are informed of the location of asbestos and of the levels of risk. The Asbestos Plan includes Risk assessments and control measures.

Health and Safety Estyn Inspection 2015 .The Lay inspector found a number of aspects concerned with premises. Most were dealt with immediately costing £10,000.Two jobs are still outstanding due to negotiations with the council. They also complained that classrooms were too small! The school is however 140 years old.

Poly Tunnel and Garden improvements – work has been completed on the school’s Poly Tunnel which has enabled the children to grow and sell fresh produce. Work has commenced in clearing the garden area adjacent to the boiler house and Ysgol Street.

Work on an outdoor area for Year 1 and 2 will commence in the Autumn term, this will provide many learning opportunities for our children.

A Business Continuity Plan has been updated for 2014-16. This plan covers procedures for continuing the service, should the premises suffer disaster. Copies, paper and electronic are with the Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher and SLMT, Caretaker, Chair of Governors and Administration Manager. Copies are available on the school’s Portal website.

School Budget and Finance: The School Budget for 2014-15 was set by the Headteacher and Primary Support Officer. It was formally accepted by the Governors’ Finance Committee The level of ‘Reserve’ forecast for the Financial Year 2014-15 is below 5% of delegated budget, at £1O,532.In order to set a budget the governing body recommended staff cuts.

The budget includes a grant for PDG (Pupil Deprivation Grant) of – £76,650 in addition, the budget includes a grant for £89,839 (EIG – Education improvement Grant) – See School Development Plan Priorities, below.

Looked After Children (LAC):

Children cared for by the local Authority, and most often in foster care. Currently there is one ‘Looked After’ child at Danygraig. The Headteacher is the Named Person with overall responsibility for LAC.The Governor with responsibility for LAC is Cllr J Hale. There are expectations for staff and Governors with responsibility for LAC to undertake regular and appropriate training. Representatives from the school attend LAC reviews or submit information on the children’s development within education.

Additional Learning Needs (ALN):

Mrs Currenti, Assistant Headteacher, is the ALN manager.

The school operates two Specialist teaching facilities (STF). In addition, we provide for the needs of several other children with Statements of Special Educational Needs. We have a programme of ‘School Action’ (School provision for additional needs) and ‘School Action Plus’ (The school is supported by outside agencies, for example, speech and language therapy, physiotherapy etc.) Danygraig works with the EMLAS GD 13

service in providing support for children with ‘English as an additional language’ (EAL) . As part of our ‘Wellbeing’ provision, the school works with the Health Authority in devising and implementing Health Care Plans.

A very important aspect of ALN is provision for More Able and Talented children. A MAT register is kept, and is constantly revised in order for us to focus on very specific talents and skills.

Funding is delegated to the school to cover staffing required for complex needs. This budget is managed by the Headteacher and ALN manager (subject to audit from LA) .During the recent Estyn Inspection ALN (additional Learning Needs) was judged as being GOOD with all children making progress.

For academic year 2015-16, the school will have 8 children in the Foundation STF (One child is of Nursery age, and will attend for a half day session each day) The numbers in the FSTF, therefore are 8.5 children FTE (Full Time Equivalent)

Danygraig also provides education for children with Statements for Educational Needs who are not placed in STF. In two cases, the severity of the children’s needs are such that they are awaiting placements in other schools (including Special Schools) However, the LA are holding long waiting lists for other such children across the authority. Danygraig will meet the challenge by setting up a designated room for children with severe needs and challenges. Staff will be paid for from the school’s delegated budget (Some from the Severe and Complex Needs allocation and some from the main delegated budget) The Room will operate as an area designated to catering for the needs of children on the autistic spectrum, physical disabilities and for children displaying particularly challenging behaviour. With adequate support and enthusiasm, the project could be seen as ‘Sector Leading Practice’

Performance Management (PM) – Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and Pay Policy:

A full Performance Management programme is ongoing. Professional Development requirements are addressed as part of PM. In addition, the school supports professional development through the School Development Plan (SDP) and through the ‘Early Professional Development’ Programme for teachers at the early stages of their professional careers.

Performance Management will include Performance Related Pay recommendations. A Pay Policy has been adopted by the Governing Body, which will include Performance Related Pay, with recommendations coming from the Performance Management process and outcomes.

Performance management and work/career appraisal programmes include ‘support-staff’. The team leaders for PM are the Senior Management Team (Headteacher,Deputy Headteacher, and Assistant Headteachers). The appraisers for the Headteacher’s Performance Management include two Governors and a representative from the Local/Regional Authority.

Staff Training – All Classroom-based support staff have undergone Training for the LNF – Literacy and Numeracy Frameworks. PDG and SEG Grants have enabled the school to support 4 Support Staff and 4 Teaching colleagues in Literacy and Numeracy Training.

Five Teachers have attended training in Welsh Language, and one Teaching Assistant has undertaken a long term (2 month) Secondment training in the Welsh language.

GD 14

Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher have undertaken Training in ‘Premises Management’ Fire Risk assessment, Supporting Colleagues’ Well-Being at Work and Managing Accidents at work.

In Addition, all staff have undergone training in Fire Safety (With Fire Safety Direct)

3 Teachers and 5 Teaching Assistants have undertaken CPI Training (Acceptable physical intervention)

Pastoral Support Officer and all staff (along with older children) have trained in Restorative Practice.

All support staff have undertaken first aid training.

Partnerships and PLC – Professional Learning Communities

Danygraig Primary works in partnership with Cefn Hengoed Community Comprehensive School, and five other Primary schools. Headteachers meet every half term to plan and prioritise development, including the implementation of LNF.

Core subject Leaders work on a process of Standardising and moderating samples of Learners’ work. The impact is that all schools in the cluster have a clear understanding of levels of attainment, and also the specific needs for improvement.

The cluster schools work together in setting common priorities, and work together in formulating bids for PDG and SEG funding. Colleagues meet in professional discussion groups to evaluate outcomes and further needs.

The Cluster Partnership enables partner schools to share expertise, facilities and good practice. The Impact - All contribute to the maintaining and raising of Standards in Core subjects, and also in areas such as sport and music.

The school also works in partnership with ‘The City Consortium’. Priorities are identified, as above, and expertise, facilities and resources are shared. The impact is ‘value for money’, with expertise, ideas and resources shared, as well as clear benchmarks for the raising of standards.

Danygraig works in partnership with Trinity St David’s University (Teacher Training) Swansea University and Gower College, in providing training for many young people (including medical and child-care training). We also provide placements for work experience to young people from Cefn Hengoed and other Comprehensive schools.

The school works closely with the Health Authority, Social Services and Emergency Services professionals. Danygraig’s Pastoral Support and Emotional Welfare Officer provides strong links between the school, the Educational Welfare Service and families in the school community. One of the positive outcomes (Impact) is that we have a significantly upward trend in attendance. By the start of the summer term, Danygraig was showing attendance of 94%, putting the school in the top quartile (Top 25% of similar schools across Wales) Another positive impact is the improvement in attainment of children in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM)

The EMLS service (LA) provides support and guidance with children and families who have English as an additional language.

GD 15

Other partnerships include professional sports clubs – Swansea City FC and The Ospreys. Apart from supplying resources to our school, we are able to access the expertise of sports coaches.

The school undertakes many visits as part of our programmes of study – these include shops, supermarkets and other places of work. The impact is that children are able to gain a much wider understanding of Literacy and Numeracy in the ‘real world’, and also insight into some of the transferable and specific skills required in the world of employment.

Equality – Strategic Equality Plan (SEP)

The school continues to promote Inclusion, Racial, religious, gender, age, employment and all other forms of equality in policy and in practice. Prejudicial and discriminatory behaviour of any form is not tolerated at Danygraig.

The SEP has been in place for two years, and has recently been reviewed. Part of the plan includes sending questionnaires to all members of the school and local community. This practice will continue during 2014/2015.

A full analysis of the replies will be published by the end of autumn term.

So far, responses are overwhelmingly in favour of what the school is doing in terms of promoting equality.

School Development Plan and Priorities

i) Literacy features as a priority – Writing at KS2 for Level 4 and above and at Foundation Phase, for Outcome 5 and above. Catch-up Programmes and support for More Able and Talented children are in place. We also use the ‘Language Link’ programme and assessments to support Learning. – The positive impact of the Language Link Programme is that nearly all the children participating improved their Reading Age significantly (measurable success)

The National Literacy Framework (LNF) has been implemented. Testing was carried out and we are developing reporting procedures. This year’s annual reports to parents/guardians will include narrative comments relating to each child’s skill progress in relation to the LNF. The reports will also include National Literacy and Numeracy Test results (Children from Year 2 to Year 6)

We are also working with the INCERTS organisation to produce an acceptable format for reporting LNF (within every subject) to parents/carers for summer 2015.

ii) Numeracy – Numerical Reasoning and iii) Mathematics MAT (More Able and Talented) will be school development priorities for academic year 2014-15. The Cefn Hengoed Cluster of schools will work together on these priorities for all our children.

GD 16

Catch-up programmes are in place (NFER and National Numeracy Framework testing are being used to determine children to be targeted for improvement) More Able and Talented learners are included in programmes.A new maths scheme Abacus has also been introduced.

Boys’ Learning will remain an area for improvement, as will the focus on the performance and attainment (particularly in Literacy and Numeracy) of children in receipt of Free School Meals By visiting the school, Governors would be able to see some of the strategies for improving Boys’ Learning in action.

Cornerstones – The school introduced a new, thematic scheme of work in September 2013. The Cornerstones Curriculum offers exciting learning experiences along with different levels of challenge, development and reinforcement in learning. Some areas of learning, particularly in Literacy and Numeracy are still taught discreetly. The Cornerstones scheme has been used as a vehicle to deliver teaching and learning; the skill programme of the Literacy and Numeracy Framework has been and will continue to be the driver of all teaching and learning. A new guided reading scheme Project X has also been introduced.

Safeguarding and Wellbeing always feature in school improvement, as does the aim to improve attendance.

The full school development/improvement plan can be accessed on the school’s Portal Website.

Attendance – Attendance is showing .a significant upward trend (as mentioned above) – the impact of having employed a Pastoral Support Officer to deal with all matters of attendance, emotional welfare, liaison with families and the community, and Restorative Practice has been measurably positive. By Easter 2014, the school was ahead of target with an average attendance of 93.8%. This puts the school in the top quartile (top 25% of similar schools across the country) Holidays taken during school time can pull the figures down, but we are confident that the upward trend can continue.

Free School Meals (FSM) – As of July 2014, 93 children are entitled to free school meals, representing 36% of the school roll. The PDG grant, of £76,650, will be used to help improve attendance, and with it the attainment and performance of children in receipt of free school meals. Strategies include continuing with a Pastoral Support Officer, Intervention Groups in Literacy and Numeracy, and the use of core-subject leaders to train other colleagues, to monitor planning and classroom practice and to scrutinize samples of children’s work.

Strategic Education Grant (SEG) - £11,000 will be used to enable Subject Leaders to be released for training, to train others and for further Intervention strategies in Writing, Reading, Numerical Reasoning and Maths MAT.

Bi-lingualism:

Danygraig fully promotes bi-lingual policy and practice. Bi-lingualism is encouraged in all aspects of school life and in all subjects, lessons/ activities and displays. It is our aim to promote the use of Welsh language in less formal situations (Playground, Breakfast Club etc.) as well as in formal settings.

GD 17

Reported Incidents of Racial Abuse – I am pleased to say that there have been no reported incidents of racial abuse or other racist incidents. Danygraig Primary School will not tolerate any incidents of prejudice and/or discrimination

Performance and Attainment assessment

Teacher assessments of learners’ standards are carried out at Year2 and Year 6. The information is fed into the All Wales Core Data Set. The school is ranked in a quartile table system along with other, similar (Free School Meal percentages) schools across Wales. It is necessary for the school to disaggregate STF learners from the data in order to present an accurate picture.

National Literacy and Numeracy Tests (Year 2 to Year 6) Reading tests, and Numeracy Procedural and Reasoning tests – Data is analysed and used for School planning – addressing strengths and needs. During autumn 2014, a full analysis will be carried out for the outcomes of tests taken during this summer term.

The school continues to use NFER tests (English/Literacy and Maths) in every class from Reception to Year 6 as a means of bench-marking individual progress – (Individual ‘value added’ progress is very important to the assessment of learning needs)

The school uses a sophisticated system of recording individual (and class) progress in all subjects. The electronic tool is called INCERTS

All data contributes to the School SER – School Evaluation Report. (An update of the SER takes place every autumn term)

Monitoring of Standards, Observations and Educational Consultancy

Monitoring of standards is carried out by The SLMT – Senior Leadership and Management Team, The Headteacher, and subject leaders. The school has also bought the services of educational consultant, Mr Mike Thomas. Mr Thomas is an Estyn Inspector; he carries out regular classroom observations, scrutinises children’s work and will observe the standard of teaching, planning and assessment. He has also given regular and constructive advice on all matters of teaching and learning. Over the last year he has worked with staff and Governors.

A full programme of Subject-Leader monitoring is in place – Each subject leader will work to a timetable of monitoring (a one-year cycle for the core subjects, and a two year cycle for other subjects)

Subject leaders will carry out classroom observations (of their subject), will scrutinize samples of children’s work, listen to learners, and monitor the plans of colleagues, displays and resources. They will take particular note of the development of Literacy and Numeracy Skills (The Literacy and Numeracy Framework) within their subjects, (For example, the skills of Literacy and Numeracy within Science, Geography, Art, etc.)

GD 18

Breakfast Club

A Local Authority partially sponsored breakfast club continues to operate. Pupil Numbers attending are currently, on average, around forty children per day. However due to a reduction in funding the school will look at financial implications.

Lettings: Danygraig Brownies – every Thursday, 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm

School’s Council – Voice of the Child. The school continues to operate a successful and vociferous school council. In addition, we have a system of prefects, together with and elected Head Girl and Head Boy and deputies. Representatives from all classes from Year 2 (including STF) are elected and sit on the School Council. They contribute to many areas of school life and development. The council, with their elected President and Secretary, members meet to discuss facilities – needs and plans, Restorative Practice, Buddy Systems, Fruit Tuck Shop and school uniform amongst many other items. The councillors have been involved in the Poly-Tunnel project and the development of our Memorial Garden. Their Voice is very much heard and contributes to the development of Danygraig Primary School.

Events:

Children continue to attend the annual remembrance service at Danygraig Cemetery and have raised over £300 for the Poppy Appeal. Last December we enjoyed very successful Christmas celebrations. The school also visited The Waterfront Church for an Easter service and St Stephens Church for Harvest Festival. Several educational trips and residential courses have been undertaken and will continue to be used to support the curriculum.

Post Inspection Action Plan

The PIAP has been completed showing the actions the school has taken to improve standards. It has been sent to Estyn. All recommendations are being addressed, Governor monitoring takes place on a fortnightly basis.

Challenge: – Governors are expected (By Estyn and the Regional Authority, ERW) to have a good knowledge of the performance and procedures of the school, and are expected to challenge the school. Governors are busy (on a collective and individual basis) in promoting good standards, and engaging with the community, local authority and other agencies in the promotion of school policy and procedures. Everyone should be challenged to perform more effectively. We need challenge, but we have to ensure that a good level of positive support accompanies the challenge.
