7 A Church of England School
Steyning C of E Primary School is a Church of England controlled school. It enjoys a close relationship with the Parish Church of St. Andrew and St. Cuthman in Steyning. Reverend Mark Heather is the vicar at the church and he generously gives his time visit the school throughout the year. We also have visits from other faith leaders. One Church Warden is a member of the governing body and together with the foundation governors, they ensure that the parish links are maintained. Religious Education The agreed West Sussex syllabus is followed at Steyning Primary School, through a scheme entitled ‘Understanding Christianity’. Although its primary focus is on Christianity, it also teaches the children about the main religions in the world and provides opportunities for philosophical as well as religious issues to be discussed. All faiths are valued and respected in our school. Reverend Mark Heather Assemblies and Acts of Worship Assemblies are held daily and include the collective act of worship. Monday morning assembly is led by the Head Teacher and focuses on a message from the Bible. It is a chance for the whole school to come together to reflect on the week ahead. The Friday assembly is led by a class, followed by the presentation of awards to the children. These include those they have gained outside school, if the child wants to celebrate their achievements in this way. Reception children begin the year with assembly in their classroom, joining the rest of the school when it is deemed appropriate.

8 Admission Arrangements
Children’s admission to Steyning CofE Primary School is dealt with by West Sussex County Council and detailed information is provided on the website at Select the relevant tab: If starting school in September You can then download this booklet which contains all the information you need. If the number of applications is within the admission limit, places are normally offered to all who apply. When there are more applications than the admission limit, places are normally allocated in order of priority stated by West Sussex County Council: Starting School Allocation: Any child with a statement of special educational needs or EHCP naming the school will automatically be admitted to that school, under section 324 of the Education Act 1996. Looked after children (children in public care), children who were previously looked after who leave care under a special guardianship or residence order. See page 6 for further details. Evidence must be provided; 2. Children who need a place at the school on exceptional and compelling social, psychological or medical grounds. Evidence must be provided; 3. Children who live in the catchment area with brothers or sisters already at the school or who will be attending the linked junior school in September 2017; 4.

9 Timings of the School Day Your child must be in school by 08:45
It is very important that children are at school. If your child is ill then you must contact the school office on by 09:30 at the latest. Absence for any other reason is discouraged. Generally children’s absence for other reasons will not be authorised, unless in exceptional circumstances which have been agreed with the Head Teacher. Please note that holidays taken during term time are recorded as unauthorised. Regular lateness is incredibly disruptive to a child’s learning and is therefore closely monitored. Please note that children who arrive after the register has closed at 09:30, will be marked with an unauthorised absence. Your child must be in school by 08:45 Timings (excluding Reception): Gates open at 8:35 Bell rings for start of day at 8:45 Gate closes at 8:50 N.B. Any child arriving after 8:50 will be marked as ‘late’ and should report to the school office. Reception Y1 Y2 Y3, Y4, Y5 and Y6 8:50 Gates Open 8:35 Gates Open 8:50 Arrive 8:45 Arrive Break 12:10 – Lunch 12:20-13:20 Lunch 12:30 – Lunch 14:20 – 14:35 Break 15:15 End of Day 15:20 – End of Day N.B. The Early Years curriculum allows plenty of opportunity for self – initiated learning, through ‘Explore and Discover’. Children are also able to choose when to have their snack.

10 The Curriculum Music, Sport and Modern Foreign Languages
At Steyning CofE Primary School we believe that curiosity and creativity are central to effective learning and endeavour to provide irresistible experiences which inspire and motivate the children and encourage them to engage fully as partners in the learning process. Whilst Literacy and Numeracy form the gateways to learning in all subjects, we believe that they are brought to life by the other subjects and are therefore interlinked. With this in mind we organise curriculum content around exciting topics which give the children a context for their learning. To find out detailed information about your child’s curriculum, please see their year group’s curriculum booklet. These can be found on the website. (‘Welcome to Year X – Information to Parents’) Music, Sport and Modern Foreign Languages At Steyning Primary School, these subjects are taught by very dedicated specilaists. All children, from Reception to Y6 benefit from this. Throughout the year we participate in as many sporting competitions and tournaments as possible and our wide range of trophies demonstrates our success. We are also involved in many exciting musical events, such as ‘Young Voices’ at the O2 in London, the Chanctonbury Music Festival and in-house productions. Every child in school learns French, ensuring that they progress in the language from Reception to Y6 and are ready to explore new languages at secondary school.

11 Relationships and Sex Education
Our curriculum aims to provide children with age-appropriate knowledge of healthy relationships and their bodies so that they can live happy lives and view themselves positively. In KS1 and lower KS2 children learn about how amazing their bodies are and how they grow and change. Alongside this, they explore what it means to be a family and how to maintain positive friendships.  In upper KS2, children learn about puberty and how a baby is made, in order that they are ready for and understand the changes their bodies will go through. They also explore issues surrounding body image and how to resist peer pressure. Underpinning all of the learning are the principles of self and mutual-respect, acceptance of diversity and love. We aim to create a trusting, sensitive and safe environment, in which children can ask and respond to questions without fear of being judged. Anti-bullying Policy It must be emphasised that the majority of children at Steyning CofE Primary School are well-behaved, thoughtful and considerate. However, as with any school, there is the occasional problem with bullying. These occurrences are always dealt swiftly, with parental improvement if necessary. For detailed information, please read our ‘Anti-bullying Policy’ on the school website:

12 Behaviour Our detailed behaviour policy can be found on the school website. It is based around nine ‘Golden Rules’ which were written by everyone, together as a school community. In every class a behaviour chart is displayed (see below). Children are able to move both ways along this chart according to the choices they make throughout the day. Everyone starts a new day afresh on ‘Ready to Learn’ Very occasionally, a more serious incident may occur. For detailed information about sanctions in such cases, please read our Behaviour Policy.

13 Special Educational Needs
The ‘SEND Information Report’ can be found on our school website. It contains answers to all the following questions: Special Support Centre The Special Support Centre is called ‘Robins’. It is for children with Speech, Language and Communication needs and provides support for a maximum of nine children of primary school age. Each child has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and places are allocated by West Sussex County Council. The children in Robins are fully integrated into the mainstream school, usually supported by staff from Robins.
