We are an inclusive school and will work hard to develop strategies to include all children. However, in extreme cases, the school will make exclusions to maintain the health and safety of all our community.

The school endeavours to do all it can to avoid permanent exclusion. However, a permanent exclusion is for extreme and significant breaches of behaviour, for example, physically aggressive behaviour towards others in school. When such cases are considered, referral should be made to the DFE guidance and liaison with the local authority and the Trust will be undertaken.

Fixed term exclusions are for serious breaches of the school rules. Some examples are:

• refusal to follow staff direction
• stealing school property
• damaging school property
• causing injury to another person
• misconduct when representing the school off site.

If your child is excluded you will be contacted by the school and informed of the reason for exclusion, the length of the exclusion and who to contact should you need support or what to do if you want to appeal the exclusion. (Please see School Behaviour Policy – avanti.org.uk/governance)

All exclusions are reported to the local authority, Trust and the Chair of the School Stakeholder Committee.

The Deputy Principal has the authority to exclude pupils in the absence of the Principal.

Internal exclusions will be at the discretion of Senior Leadership Team (SLT), although the Principal will be kept informed of the status of internal exclusions on a daily basis and will be in response to a culmination of behaviour incidents or extreme and serious single incident.

Internal exclusions will be decided and coordinated by a member of SLT. An internal exclusion is different to a time out/reflection in another classroom.

If a student has an internal exclusion they will be sent with appropriate work to complete supervised by a member SLT.  SLT will inform the students’s parents and record the incident and steps taken to avoid future incidents. The student will be monitored and supported by the SLT, including the SENCO, following the exclusion.

The approximate length of an internal exclusion will be no longer than 30-45min at any one time.

External exclusions will follow guidance from The Avanti Schools Trust School Behaviour policy. Only the Principal and Deputy Principal can exclude children externally. A decision to externally exclude will only be taken when all other possibilities and strategies have been exhausted, including close partnership with the parents to improve the students behaviour.

EYFS, PHONICS AND SAT RESULTS 2019

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the children on their assessments last year. The school achieved pleasing results and you can see the results below. It is a reflection of the pupils’ hard work and effort. A big thank you also goes to all our staff. We will continue to drive school improvement and strive to be the very best that we can be so that each child can reach their full potential. Children, well done to you all and the staff and your parents and carers, who have supported you.

EYFS Results

EYFS   Children are assessed by the team through observation and recording evidence on to the EExAT Assessment. To ensure that a child has a Good Level of Development (GLD) they will need to reach an Expected or Exceeding level in all three Prime Areas of Learning (Communication and Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social and Emotional Development as well as Literacy (Reading and Writing) and Maths (Number and Shape and Space). An average point (APS) score is also awarded.  School is achieving above local and national data.

In addition to the results published  the Government website gives information on the schools’ final data for previous Academic year. The information can be compared with other schools. For information on data for pupils who completed Key Stage 2 tests in the summer of 2018/2019 the results should published as final once the data has been validated.
