Decoy Community Primary School Deer Park Road, Newton Abbot, TQ12 1DH Headteacher: Mrs. Gill O’Neill (B.Ed)

Dear Parents/Carers

Thank you for your interest in Decoy Primary School. I hope that the information contained in this document will help you to decide if this is the right school for you and your children. I strongly recommend that you make a visit

during school session times to see and feel for yourself, the friendly family atmosphere and sense of purpose which

pervades the whole school.

Decoy is a big school with over 400 pupils. Despite its size the school manages to create a very warm and friendly atmosphere. You don't have to take my word for this, Ofsted, the Office for Standards in Education reported,

"Relationships in class and throughout the school are highly productive. This stems directly from the excellent

leadership of the Headteacher, who, despite the size of the school, ensures that every pupil is individually known and valued". (Ofsted November 2007). We were given an ‘Outstanding’ grading by the inspector and our standards

have continued to be significantly above average since then.

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum which fully meets the requirements of the National Curriculum. Our

exciting and innovative approach to teaching and learning also earned high praise from Ofsted. The report described our curriculum as "a vibrant and cohesive programme that inspires pupils to want to learn. Subjects are

linked together so that the skills and knowledge pupils learn, have meaning and relevance to them".

We cater for children of all abilities and strive to ensure that every child reaches his/her full potential. Our

standards in the three core subjects, English, mathematics and science, are consistently well above local authority and national averages.

According to Ofsted, the school accommodation, with small classrooms and restricted hall space presents a

particular challenge. Having said that, it's what goes on inside that matters and I am sure you will be impressed by

the range and quality of work going on here. Come and have a look!

Yours sincerely,

Gill O’Neill Headteacher

The School DayThe School Day

The school gate opens at 8:40am, from which time there will be a

teacher on duty in the playground. Except in wet weather,

children should stay on the playground until the bell is rung.

The normal time of school session will be:

Key Stage 1 (KS1) 8:55am to 12:05pm

1:15pm to 3:25pm

Taught time per week 23 hours 10 minutes

Key Stage 2 (KS2) 8:55am to 12:10pm

1:15pm to 3:30pm

Taught time per week 23 hours 35 minutes

We have a morning break from 10:30am—10:45am (KS2);

10:45am—11:00am (KS1); and an afternoon break from 2:20pm—2:30pm (KS2); and 2:15pm—2:30pm (KS1).

First Steps NurseryFirst Steps Nursery

Pre-School children aged 3 or above will be entitled to 15 hours funded provision per week from the term after

their 3rd birthday.

At Decoy we offer 15 hours funded provision to our children and 15.5 to those who choose to use 2 lunch clubs

for some of their allowance. In addition to this, parents have the option to pay for extra hours, providing spaces are available. This could be lunch club, morning or afternoon sessions or, as with funded hours, a

combination of sessions.

We very much hope that this will help our busy

families as this gives the option of longer sessions and whole school day provision.

There are two sessions available:

Morning Session:- 9:00am — 11:30am

Afternoon Session:- 1:00pm — 3:30pm

A lunchtime session is also available at an additional cost.

Extended Schools ProvisionExtended Schools Provision

Breakfast Club: 7:55am Breakfast Club: 7:55am -- 8:55am8:55am Our sessions run for an hour before school and during this period the children get the opportunity to play and interact with other children across the school.

Games and toys are provided during the morning sessions, along with art materials and outdoor equipment.

All children are provided with a healthy breakfast which includes cereals, yoghurts, toasts with a choice of spreads and scrambled eggs and porridge. We also hold theme days when we provide the children with foods from other

countries and cultures for them to experience. In addition to the normal breakfast we also provide fresh fruit daily, along with fruit juices and milk to drink. Your

child will always go to school with a full tummy and we are able to cater for all dietary needs.

Afterschool Club: 3:30pm Afterschool Club: 3:30pm -- 6:00pm6:00pm

Our Afterschool sessions begin as soon as the school day ends and is situated in our main school hall and adjoining rooms.

We offer a wide range of activities for the children including arts, crafts, table tennis, football, badminton, computers, games, cooking,

toys, den building, DSi's and even a Nintendo Wii. Although the

resources are very important to us, and the children, its also about the interaction they get from the Extended Schools team.

Immediately, your child will begin to make friends with other children across the school and this is seen during playtimes and at

lunchtimes.

Every child attending our afterschool sessions will receive a healthy snack which includes pasta dishes, rice dishes, toasties, beans on

toast, homemade pizzas and sandwiches. Fresh fruit is also provided daily and drinks are available throughout the session.

Similar to the Breakfast Club, we also hold theme days.

We operate on a 1:8 staff ratio and have a capacity of 32 children

for any one session. There is a dedicated team of staff who ensure your children are safe and have the most fun possible. All staff are

employed at the school and have all received appropriate training

and have been subjected to an enhanced CRB check.

All children who are in Year 2 or below are taken to class after each breakfast club session; or collected from their classrooms and brought to the afterschool clubs.

If you would like more information about our extended schools then please email our Extended Schools Leader, Oli Prouse, at [email protected]

We can also provide you with information on other childcare providers through the Devon’s Family Information

Service - www.devon.gov.uk/disc_services .

School UniformSchool Uniform

We believe the tone of this school is enhanced if all children wear uniform. Wearing uniform develops a sense of

belonging and community and contributes positively to discipline and behaviour. We ask for your co-operation in

continuing the uniform tradition at Decoy.

*Available from school office embroidered with school logo.

P.E clothing is essential but please buy Velcro fastening trainers for Key Stage 1 children.

All children should have a named shoe-bag, which can be hung on their cloakroom peg. All articles of clothing, including footwear should be clearly named.

fully equipped kitchen. We operate a continuous cafeteria service. All our meals are cooked from fresh local produce. We do not use any

reconstituted meat products. There is a choice of meals, menus are available from the office.

The children are supervised by meal-time assistants who also look after their wellbeing during the dinner playtime. Also, our older

children lead and support lunchtime activities.

Free School MealsFree School Meals Free school meals are provided for children of parents in receipt of

income support. An official application form (BR35) must be completed via telephone on 0845 155 1019 or online at

http://www.devon.gov.uk/freeschoolmealsform.pdf.

Packed LunchesPacked Lunches These are eaten in the hall, and the same routine is followed as for

children eating a school lunch. Sweets and fizzy drinks are not

permitted.

Dinner MoneyDinner Money School meals can be purchased either from the school hall on a Friday morning or online, by going to

http://shop.devon.gov.uk. Please note the minimum purchase is 10 dinner tickets per child when ordering online. All dinner tickets are kept in school, a dinner register is taken in the morning and the children are issued with the

tickets when they are lined up in the dinner queue.

This system is very efficient and ensures that every child gets the correct lunch; there is no expiry date on the tickets, and if any are left at the end of the academic year, then they simply roll over to the next year.

Meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs Meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs

(SEN)(SEN) At Decoy Community Primary School and First Steps Nursery, we are committed to offering an inclusive curriculum

to ensure the best possible progress for all of our pupils, whatever their needs or abilities. Not all children with disabilities have Special Educational Needs and not all children with Special Educational Needs

meet the definition of disability, but our combined Inclusion, Special Educational Needs and Disability Policy meets the needs of all of these children.

‘Pupils have Special Educational Needs if they have a learning difficulty which calls for special educational provision to be made for them.’ ‘Pupils with a disability have Special Educational Needs if they have any difficulty in accessing education and if they need any Special Educational provision to be made for them, that is anything that is additional to or different from what is normally available in schools in the area.’

Staff at Decoy Community Primary School work together with parents and carers to ensure that we:

Identify pupils with SEN and disabilities and ensure

that their needs are met

Offer children with SEN and disabilities access to

broad and balanced education

Ensure that children with SEN and disabilities join

in with all the activities of the school

Ensure that all learners make the best possible

progress

Ensure parents are informed of their child’s

special needs and provision and that there is effective communication between parents and

school

Ensure that learners express their views and are

fully involved in decisions which affect their education

Promote effective partnership and involve outside

agencies when appropriate

We have a purpose built medical room, two disabled toilets, shower and changing facilities.

Wheelchair access is available to all parts of the school.

A copy of our policy to promote the successful inclusion of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities can be obtained from the school office, on request.

The CurriculumThe Curriculum

At Decoy, we provide a broad and rich curriculum, which is planned and

delivered through integrated themes. As well as making sure that we meet all the requirements of the National Curriculum, this innovative approach

inspires and motivates pupils and teachers.

Right from the start, children discover that learning is fun. Our foundation

classes (Nursery and Reception) approach nearly all their learning through activity and play. They are having so much fun that parents sometimes find

it hard to recognise the huge amount of learning that is taking place!

In Key Stage 1 and 2, visits and visitors are a regular feature, engaging

pupils in their learning. Pupils state that they are never sure what might happen next in class! Senior staff took a bold step in redesigning and

transforming the curriculum into a vibrant and cohesive programme that inspires pupils to want to learn. Subjects are linked together so that the

skills and knowledge pupils are learning have meaning and relevance for

them. Making this a part of a topic gives a context and purpose for this work.

Page 10: DCPS Prospectus 2012/13

ICT (Information & Communication Technology) is a

strength of our school . We were the first primary school in Devon to acquire the much coveted ICT

Mark.

We have a fantastic ICT suite with 32 modern LCD

screen PCs. These are used all day and support all areas of the curriculum.

In addition, every room is equipped with a data

projector and Interactive White Board (IWB) , which

greatly enhances the quality of teaching and learning.

Music & Performing ArtsMusic & Performing Arts

We have a dedicated and well equipped music room. Every child has a weekly music lesson, taught by our specialist

music teacher, Mrs Maralin Fraser. We can also offer

individual and small group tuition in a range of instruments. Although we allow these lessons to take place during the

school day, these are optional extras and as such must be paid for. We currently have pupils learning keyboard, guitar,

drums, violin, clarinet and flute.

At the end of every term, we have at least one musical

production, with all pupils having the opportunity to be actively involved over the year.

Foundation and Key Stage 1 prepare a Christmas

performance at the end of the autumn term. Middle School perform at the end of the spring term and

the Upper School perform at the end of the summer term.

Our academic standards in English, Maths and Science are well above the national average, Our academic standards in English, Maths and Science are well above the national average,

with Decoy consistently performing in the top 25% of schools in England.with Decoy consistently performing in the top 25% of schools in England.

Literacy & MathematicsLiteracy & Mathematics

Literacy is taught through topic work, this means our writing has a purpose, and children are aware of their

audience. Visitors to the school are always impressed to see the quality and quantity of the written work on display.

Maths is mainly taught in dedicated numeracy lessons, but the skills acquired in these lessons are frequently used as part of topic work.

Physical EducationPhysical Education

Our provision for PE is excellent. We have a specialist PE teacher, Miss Diz Wright, who takes every class for one

of their two PE lessons each week. We have a good range of

indoor and outdoor facilities including a sports field.

Our curriculum includes ball and racquet skills, invasion games, creative dance, athletics, gymnastics and

swimming.

We offer an extensive range of lunchtime and after school

clubs including cricket, football, cheerleading, netball and Dartmoor 3-ball.

In Year 5, the pupils take part in a residential week which includes surfing, rock climbing, canoeing and orienteering.

Personal, Social & Health Education (PSHE)Personal, Social & Health Education (PSHE) Personal, Social and Health Education is an important element of our curriculum. The whole school follows the

Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) programme, through which pupils learn how to become positive members of the community, and develop strong friendships.

We teach children about themselves, their personal needs and how to care for the environment. Children are supported in developing positive self esteem through responsibility and respect for themselves and each other. We

also encourage them to develop coping strategies in times of difficulty and to see that appropriate behaviour helps everyone. Safety at home, in school, on the roads and in water is also taught.

The governors have decided that Sex and Relations Education (SRE), should be taught as part of the whole school policy of Health Education. If you want to view any materials that are used please contact the school. Any parent not

wishing their child to participate in the SRE aspect of the PSHE curriculum should make a request in writing to the Headteacher.

Religious Education (RE)Religious Education (RE) Religious Education is taught following the Devon Agreed Syllabus. We seek to develop children’s knowledge,

understanding and awareness of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Islam. Our curriculum at Decoy Community

Primary School aims to

Assembly & Collective WorshipAssembly & Collective Worship

Develop respect and sensitivity to the beliefs and values of others

Understand conflict and collaboration within and between religions and the importance of

inter-faith dialogue

Study how religion is portrayed in the media recognising issues of bias, prejudice and

stereotypes

Develop their skills of communication and evaluation in RE, using reasoned arguments and

considering viewpoints different to their own

An act of collective worship is held every day which is led by the

Headteacher, other members of staff or visitors to the school. The children often take an active part in these assemblies

which regularly include the celebration of individual and team achievements.

Parents can request that their children be wholly or partly excused from acts of worship and Religious Education. Any

such requests should be made in writing to the Headteacher.

Curriculum Enrichment ActivitiesCurriculum Enrichment Activities

The school will ask for voluntary contributions to cover the cost of a visit or visitor which is arranged in school time to support our

curriculum. These may include;

Attendance and AbsenceAttendance and Absence

We would like your child to be in school all of the time to take advantage of the education we provide. Children who miss school often fail to make the progress they are capable of. Attendance is monitored on an individual pupil

basis by the Educational Welfare Officer (EWO). Failure to secure good attendance can lead to fines, prosecution or

in the most extreme cases, imprisonment.

Of course, if your child is unwell, we do not expect them to attend school. Please leave a message with the school secretary if your child is going to be away from school or will be arriving late. On return from absence we require a

note to the class teacher. If your child is to be absent from school for any reason i.e. dentist, a ballet exam,

travelling to a wedding, a courtesy note to the class teacher is appreciated. A note is also needed if your child is unable to participate in PE or swimming on medical grounds.

MedicinesMedicines We are unable to administer any medication that is

not on prescription supplied by a doctor. If it is absolutely necessary for medicines to be

administered during the school day please come to

the school office and personally deliver the medicine and complete a green form regarding the treatment.

For children who are prone to asthma we make special arrangements to ensure their inhaler is close

by but in the safe keeping of the class teacher.

Our staff are also fully trained to use Epipens. All medication will stored in a locked cabinet in the

school office.

SafeguardingSafeguarding

Decoy Community Primary School and First Steps Nursery is proactively involved in safeguarding children; this is a priority everyday and within our school improvement plans.

The Senior Designated Officer (SDO), Mrs. Gill O’Neill, is supported in her role by the Deputy Safeguarding Officer

(DSO), Mr. Steve Bone, all teaching staff, governors and support staff.

Health & Welfare of PupilsHealth & Welfare of Pupils

Every care is taken to ensure the health and welfare of your children.

School Medical ServicesSchool Medical Services Dental inspections are carried out periodically. Every

child will receive a medical check during their first year; parents are invited to be present. The school

nurse makes regular visits to school to carry out

routine hearing checks. Parents who would like to be present should contact the school administrator.

Illness in SchoolIllness in School If a child feels ill during the day, you will be contacted by telephone, therefore, it is important to make sure

that the school office is kept up to date regarding address, telephone numbers and emergency

contacts.

First AidFirst Aid We have a number of qualified first aiders and there

are at least two on duty throughout the day. If a child is referred to a first-aider an entry will be made in the

First Aid Log. In the case of a bump to the head or

other serious injury we will contact you immediately.

Serious AccidentSerious Accident In the very rare instance of your child sustaining a serious injury, we will arrange for their direct

transport to Newton Abbot Minor Injuries Department or Torbay Accident & Emergency.

We would, of course, contact you immediately.

Page 15: DCPS Prospectus 2012/13

A system of rewards and sanctions are used to support pupils to be positive members of our school community.

Rewards range from stickers for high quality work, to Headteacher’s Commendation, which is presented in a Friday Celebration Assembly.

Sanctions are graded to reflect the seriousness of the misdemeanour ranging from a reminder of expected behaviour to action being taken by the Head or Deputy which normally includes the involvement of parents or

carers. Staff keep a record of breaches of the behaviour code allowing us to track patterns of behaviour and to put support systems in place when they are needed.

This behaviour management system empowers pupils to make informed decisions or choices about how they behave and take responsibility for their behaviour.

BullyingBullying

At Decoy Community Primary School, we realise that, as in all schools, bullying may occur from time to time. When it does, we

have a clear policy to ensure rapid and effective action.

We regularly remind pupils that the best way to beat bullying is to tell an adult about it as soon as possible.

Pupil Behaviour and DisciplinePupil Behaviour and Discipline

At Decoy, we believe that all children have the right to learn and to feel safe and happy at school. We do all we can to ensure that learners are

able to learn and teachers are able to teach.

We believe in an environment which encourages children and builds self

esteem, so that children become confident, mature, independent learners and responsible members of society. In order to achieve this we have a

well established Behaviour Policy ensuring a consistent approach

throughout the school. We endeavour to work closely with parents and carers. Parents, pupils and teachers are asked to sign a Home-School

Agreement so that everyone is aware of the expectations of school and works towards the same goals.

Rewards and SanctionsRewards and Sanctions

Class rules are agreed by pupils each September and these are displayed prominently in each classroom.

The School Council (elected representatives from each class) have agreed a set of rules for play-times and lunchtimes, these are displayed around the school.

Page 16: DCPS Prospectus 2012/13

Parental InvolvementParental Involvement

Parents are encouraged to take an active interest in their children’s school life and contribute to our school

community.

The staff are always willing to see parents to discuss

points that might arise concerning the work your child is doing and the progress being made. The Headteacher is

available for urgent matters at any time or otherwise by

appointment.

We have parent teacher consultation evenings in the autumn and spring terms providing an opportunity for

parents and teachers to get to know each other and

discuss the child’s general attitudes, progress and behaviour. In the summer term we have an open evening.

Written reports are sent home in the summer term.

Parent HelpersParent Helpers

The school welcomes parents who are able to help in any way. You could hear readers or provide support for practical activities such as gardening, cooking or making things. You might have knowledge and experiences which

would be appropriate to share. The whole school benefits greatly from the help and assistance given by parents in

a wide range of activities. Don't worry if you haven't done anything like this before, there will be others to guide and support you. If you are able to lend a hand, please contact Gill O’Neill or your child’s class teacher.

ParentParent--Teacher AssociationTeacher Association The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) aims to offer parents the opportunity of wide involvement in the life of the

school through a variety of activities each term, such as quiz nights, school fetes and cake sales. This helps to foster good relationships between children, parents and teachers. The fund raising helps ensure that children of

Decoy have access to the best resources available.

Every parent of a child in the school automatically becomes a member of the PTA. The association is organised by a large committee and new parents who would like to become involved and serve on the committee are always very

welcome.

ComplaintsComplaints

If you have a complaint If you have a complaint —— please talk to us!please talk to us!

We can’t deal effectively with a problem unless you talk to us about it. Complaints usually arise from a lack of

communication or a simple misunderstanding. They can usually be resolved quickly and simply by talking to your child’s class teacher. Where it is not, you should take your complaint to the relevant team leader (see School

Organisation in this prospectus) who will either resolve the problem or refer it to the Deputy Head or Headteacher.

In rare instances where the school fails to resolve an issue to the complainants satisfaction, the complainant will be

given a copy of the school’s Complaints Policy, inviting them to contact the Chair of Governors, a parent representative on the Governing Body or the Local Area Education Officer.
