ALLHALLOWS PRIMARY SCHOOL

Allhallows Primary School is a small, rural school in the village of Allhallows on the Hoo Peninsula, some eight miles from Rochester. The school was first opened in April 1972 but was then housed in a building adjacent to the current site, formerly the Middle School. In 1994, the Primary School moved into the spacious present building, which has been modernised for its new community.

"Set in large, well-maintained grounds surrounded by secure boundary fences, the large building is attractively decorated and very well maintained, although some external fabric needs attention. Of very generous size for the numbers on roll, the school has used spare capacity to create a community room for parents and other groups to use, and plans to do more. This is of enormous value to the village, which is remote from the facilities of a town, such as a library and cinema, and opportunities for adult and further training. Sponsorship has just been obtained to create a disabled toilet and horticultural room. Specialist rooms include the library, where a good variety of new fiction and non-fiction books is displayed, the almost completed new ICT suite, medical room and a large assembly hall which also doubles as the dining area. The Reception classroom adjoins a courtyard where children enjoy a good range of resources for their outdoor play. Wide corridors are used well for small group activities, and walls along these and in classes celebrate good examples of pupils’ work, for example in ICT and extra-curricular club activities. Pupils are proud to point to samples of their work, for instance knitting, and to photographs of themselves enjoying their clubs. The school has sufficient resources to teach the National Curriculum. Resources are particularly good for children in Reception, the arts and music and for ICT. There is ample room to store all resources and these are readily accessible to staff. "

ETHOS

Inspiring children, in an atmosphere of fun, creativity and mutual respect, to want to learn, to enjoy learning and to become lifelong learners and independent thinkers.

To this end we have an aim and ambition that:

Our school will be a well-led, caring, successful and progressive learning environment which is able to use creatively and fully its limited resources and creative partnerships with the wider community to the benefit of the personal, social, moral, spiritual and educational development of each child, regardless of background and ability, leading to personal excellence and high standards of achievement, attitudes and self-confidence as responsible citizens of this world.

“The positive ethos and good relationships create a warm, inclusive atmosphere.”

Ofsted May 2003

CURRICULUM

The school is committed to providing a curriculum:

  • which enables pupils to feel confident, valued and successful, to respect themselves and others as learners
  • which enables children to work and learn together in a high quality and stimulating learning and teaching environment
  • that is broad, balanced, relevant, flexible, inclusive and well planned and matched to individual need and abilities
  • which enables pupils to make a real and significant contribution to their school community and the wider world
  • which provides continuity that is effective and supports progression and successful transition.

The curriculum aims and aspirations are based on a 36 week year, in recognition that Christmas and other such activities do happen! However, we acknowledge that many of these latter topical activities serve to enrich our children’s experiences and wherever possible every effort is made to integrate these within the curriculum.

At Allhallows, the taught time amounts to 23h 45m per week or 855h per year for Key Stage 2 and 22h 55m per week for Key Stage 1 & Foundation Stage.

The curriculum at Allhallows is shaped on the premise that as educators our prime purpose is to inspire the children to want to learn, to enjoy learning and to become lifelong learners and independent thinkers. While high standards in Literacy and Numeracy are paramount, we believe that alongside excellent Literacy and Numeracy teaching, children need concrete reasons to practise the skills learnt and through quality cross-curricular experiences and studying areas of particular interest or curiosity for children, a greater majority can access the curriculum. The use of ICT, we believe, permeates across all curricular areas as the main tool by which children will have access to information - our role is to teach the children to use (or choose not to use) this facility expertly and wisely.

This approach enables us to take into account the children’s preferred learning styles and their specific intelligences so that self-esteem among pupils remains high and enthusiasm for learning is maximised. We look to find out first and foremost in what way each and every child is smart.

FOUNDATION STAGE

The Foundation Stage is organised into six areas of learning:

  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSE)
  • Communication, Language and Literacy (CLL)
  • Mathematical Development (Maths)
  • Knowledge and Understanding of the World (K&U)
  • Physical development (PD)
  • Creative Development (CD)

Each of the learning areas will underpin all future learning by supporting, fostering, promoting and developing the child. The curriculum is linked to the Early Learning Goals. By the end of the Foundation stage it is expected that most children will have reached the Early learning Goals, with some exceeding these expectations. The Foundation Stage profile is in place, providing an opportunity for ongoing assessments of children’s individual attainment.

Even within the forum of a mixed Year Group, the provision is made for the children to have two afternoons of pupil-initiated play, indoors and outdoors. Through play the children explore, develop and represent learning experiences, thus giving them the opportunities to practice and build up their ideas, concepts and skills, as well as developing relationships with both peers and adults, thereby making them independent learners.

In addition, each week the children enjoy an activity morning for Literacy and Numeracy skills. This consolidates the week’s learning in a ‘Plan-do-Review’ setting.

INFANTS AND JUNIORS

Key Stage 1 (Infant School Years 1 & 2) and Key Stage 2 (Junior School Years 3 to 6)

The Infant and Junior Curriculum is stipulated by the National Curriculum which sets out clearly and fully the statutory entitlement to learning for all pupils. There are essentially 12 subjects that make up the National Curriculum - English, Mathematics, Science, Design and Technology, Information and Communication Technology, History, Geography, Art and Design, Music, Physical Education, Citizenship (Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education) and (optionally at Primary School) Modern Foreign Language. Religious Education is an additional requirement for which we follow the Medway Agreed Syllabus.

The National Literacy and Numeracy Frameworks are key to our English and Mathematics curricula enabling staff to undertake focused assessment, planning and teaching to address the specific needs of groups or individual pupils.

The logistics of being a small school requires the pupils to be grouped in mixed years. Coverage of the National Curriculum is ensured by working a two-year cycle of topic areas, thereby also avoiding repetition of areas of study. Parents are notified of the topics to be studied at the end of the previous term, so that if convenient useful supporting visits, research and activities can be undertaken.

Each member of staff takes responsibility for one or more of the curriculum areas linked to each individual’s professional expertise and personal interest. Through regular attendance at courses and subject leader training, teaching staff keep up to date with new developments, resourcing and the latest educational thinking and research.

CLUBS

A variety of clubs (after-school and at lunch times) and extra-curricular activities are offered throughout the School when staff and children can come together to enjoy extra interests. These vary from term to term and pupils will be informed of what is on offer and how to apply in newsletters.

A Homework Club is provided twice a week at lunch times where pupils catch up with unfinished work and homework not done at home. A Breakfast Club is offered each morning between 7.45 and 8.45am.

Off-site Outings, Trips & Visits

An integral part of our creative curriculum is the need for pupils to have first-hand experience on which they can pin their learning. We are keen therefore for pupils to make educational visits within the school locality and beyond, to museums and theatres, leisure centres and galleries and to invite visiting speakers, performers, theatre groups and workshops.

A voluntary contribution to cover the cost for your own child will be requested. There will be no obligation to contribute and of course no pupil will be excluded from the activity if parents are unable to pay. However we must point out that it may be necessary to cancel an activity if total contributions do not cover the costs.
