We seek to give the widest range of experiences and also the opportunity to excel. Children at Churcher’s College thrive in an atmosphere of high expectation but even higher achievement in a happy, well-disciplined and caring environment. Excellent examination results are clearly important; the achievement of these forms a core element of a child’s time here. Equally, the development of self-esteem, moral values and leadership are vitally important parts of a child’s education. By developing the full academic, creative and sporting talents of the girls and boys, within the context of social awareness, our aim is to fully prepare them for all they will face in the dynamic and challenging world in which we live. The pupils of Churcher’s College become confident, responsible, respected and selfless citizens in a world which will require gifted, flexible young people of character, dedication and compassion.

‘Quite Exceptional!’

Broadest smiles and highest echelons!

The phrase ‘quite exceptional’ hardly seems to do justice to what has been a record-breaking year for Churcher’s College but, taking into account typical British modesty and with a very appropriate exclamation mark, it seems to work well for a group of quietly capable and delightfully charming young men and women who have achieved so much over their time here.

For every school across the country comparison of results with previous years has become almost an impossibility. Not only do we have a mix of letter and number grades across the subjects, in some individual subjects you may even also have a mix of letters and numbers where some pupils have taken an exam a year early as our top Mathematicians have, and all those were graded A*.

We have almost become accustomed to Churcher’s students exceeding expectation year in year out, but this cohort of A level students has cleared the bar by a huge margin.

In the very awkward conversion from number to letter grades the Department for Education say the only direct comparisons are previous A* to A with the new 9 to 7 grades and the A* to C with the new 9 to 4 grades. Using these two benchmarks then, to complement this year’s brilliant A Level results for Churcher’s, we have broad smiles of satisfaction with the GCSE results and delight that we will, once again, be in the highest echelons of schools at both A and GCSE levels. With over 65% of the exams graded A* to A or 9 to 7 grade and over 98% at A* to C or 9 to 4 grade there are smiles aplenty for the students, their parents and teachers.

The overall statistics for the school are very pleasing indeed, 21.5% A* grades, almost 55% A* and A and 87% A* to B grades certainly puts us in the top echelons of schools in the country. That isn’t simply because, as Durham University’s Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring continue to tell us, when they begin their secondary school career here at eleven, they are very bright; there is a most extraordinary ‘value-added’, well above what they see in other similar schools. That extra value comes from the real sense of mutual care, support and corporate ambition that the students at Churcher’s seem to have, and as much from the thrill of the success they achieve outside the classroom in sport, music, drama and adventurous activities as they achieve within. For example, after the hugely acclaimed summer concert in Cadogan Hall in London, many have been on expedition to China and now are returning to gold-plated exam results. These fantastic A Level results are allowing them to follow their dreams: the ten percent of the year holding offers to Oxford and Cambridge all achieved those offers; potential medics and vets all made the grade for their places; drama and art students are continuing their passions at prestigious art and drama schools; in fact, it seems that there is hardly a corner of the country or a university faculty where you won’t find a Churcher’s undergraduate in September.

A scientific review by Cambridge Assessment predicted that as few as 200 students across the country would achieve straight Grade 9s across all their subjects and Churcher’s boast two of them, and they are joined by another four students who gained only a 9, 8 or A* on all of their certificates. As ever, academic exam results are only a small part of the equation when it comes to school life. This GCSE year group boasted a rugby team that could count its losses over the last five years on one hand; performing arts enthusiasts with the most exceptional top Grade 8 music and drama certificates which would need more than two hands to count and successful Duke of Edinburgh awardees that St James’s Palace inform us exceed the numbers for any individual establishment in the county, to name but a few examples from their portfolio of success.

Maybe the word ‘quite’ needs to be replaced by the word ‘absolutely’; absolutely exceptional young men and women who have done absolutely exceptionally!

With our largest number ever moving through into our Lower Sixth Form in September we are really looking forward to the next two years over which this very successful year group will almost certainly continue to astound and delight as they have done over the last five years; the future looks startlingly bright on Ramshill!

VALUE-ADDED ANALYSIS Durham University’s Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring provide a service which compares the achievements of children of the same age and baseline ability across the country. Their analysis is based upon a series of psychometric tests taken in Year 7 (MidYis), Year 11 (Yellis) and Year 12 (ALIS). In the case of MidYis and Yellis they are considering value-added to GCSE and with ALIS, value-added to A Level. If the value-added is the same as for children of similar ability at similar schools, the score will be zero. If the value-added is a positive number, then it exceeds expectations with a score of 1 equating to a whole grade better. The graphs below show the value-added for the previous years. The analysis for the academic year just gone are not published by Durham University until after the printing of this booklet. The most up-todate information will be available via the web site.

Alis - A Level Value-Added Comparison of Churcher’s College overall A Level value-added with schools/colleges nationally

Number of grades better than expected level

MidYis - GCSE Value-Added Average value added at GCSE of children at Churcher’s compared to children of the same academic ability nationally

The background area is a normal distribution graph representing the distribution of the average value-added (standardised residual) scores for all schools/college in Alis. The dotted line is the value-added score for Churcher’s College. The width of shaded area represents confidence intervals for that value, 95%.

Reception places are guaranteed if conditions on Nursery attendance are met. Junior School 1. If a child is entering Class 2 or above (age 6+) they will be invited to an assessment morning at the Junior School. 2. A reference from the current school may be requested to gain further information where necessary. Senior School Main Entry is at 11+ and 16+. A few places are available at 13+. 1.

This is likely to last for a minium of 15 minutes and will be a general interview at which candidates should be prepared to discuss their hobbies, interests and present school. To faciliate this all candidates are asked to complete the ‘Entry to Churcher’s College’ questionnaire prior to interview. 2. A reference will be requested for each candidate, normally from their present school. 3. All 11+ and 13+ candidates are required to take the College entrance examination, which is held on a Saturday towards the end of January each year. This consists of three papers; English, Maths and Verbal Reasoning. Information regarding the entrance examination is sent to all registered candidates. 4. 16+ entry is based on GCSE results. Terms of Offer 1. Places are offered based on the results of an assessment or entrance examination or GCSE results, as applicable. Upon acceptance of a place parents are required to sign a Form of Undertaking and return it with a deposit sum of £1000. For Nursery only, the initial deposit is £250 with the balance of £750 required, prior to moving into the Reception Class. 2. The deposit will be refunded after the candidate’s final term at the College, subject to any outstanding charges but will not be refunded at any other time. The deposit will not be refunded if the place is not taken up.

RACIAL AND CULTURAL ETHOS The school is non-denominational by foundation although its ethos is based upon the Christian tradition. The College has an honorary Anglican Chaplain, with any formal services usually following the Anglican pattern.

Teaching of Religious Studies adopts an ecumenical approach and the subject is presented in a nonaggressive fashion. Pupils of all faiths are accepted into the College and in practice have few problems in integrating into morning assemblies or other aspects of corporate College life.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES The College is committed to offering equal opportunities to all regardless of gender, religion or cultural background. We are also committed to ensuring equality of access to all school activities and facilities for all pupils regardless of background or gender.

THE SENIOR SCHOOL SHOP This is located next to the MUGA car park, beyond the Gymnasium. It is open on Tuesday, and some Wednesday, afternoons during term time between 12.30pm and 4.15pm. All prospective parents are encouraged to place their orders for uniform via the school’s Wisepay on-line ordering system.

They can be contacted directly using the following email address: schoolshop@churcherscollege.com

SCHOOL LUNCHES Pupils taking lunch are charged in advance for the term at the rate currently applicable.

MUSIC LESSONS Notice of the withdrawal of a pupil from private lessons must be given to the Director of Music in writing two weeks prior to the end of term.

OTHER EXTRAS If applicable, these are charged in arrears and detailed on the termly account, however termly bus charges are charged in advance.

DAMAGE TO SCHOOL PROPERTY Where damage is caused to School property through a pupil’s negligence or wanton act, the full cost of the repair or replacement will be charged to individual accounts.

INSURANCE OF FEES So long as a child’s name remains on the nominal roll, the full fees are payable whether the pupil is in attendance or not and the Governors cannot consider application for the remission of fees in case of absence. Parents may wish to consider taking out insurance against absence through illness. Details of a School Fees Protection Scheme are available on request.

ENTRANCE PROCEDURES AND TERMS FOR ADMISSION continued INSURANCE OF PUPILS’ PERSONAL EFFECTS It is the parental responsibility to insure against the loss of personal effects.

INSURANCE AGAINST ACCIDENTS The School only accepts responsibility for accidents where the School is held liable in law for negligence. Details of an approved Personal Accident Scheme will be sent to parents prior to the pupil’s first term.

ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS Scholarships and Exhibitions are awarded in recognition of academic excellence, exceptional contribution to the community of the school and / or the wider community of Petersfield. Exhibitions may also be awarded to those whose involvement in activities within the school is at an exceptionally high level. Consideration is also given to parental means when deciding on the level of the award. Parents are invited to complete a statement of financial circumstances if they should so wish. Awards are usually granted at 10% and in a few cases at 25%. It is possible to enhance an award in case of financial need by the submission of a Bursary application form. Awards generally do not exceed 50% of the school fees. The majority of awards are offered on the basis of the Churcher’s Entrance Examination at age 11+. No application is required as candidates are automatically considered. Further awards are available at 13+ and 16+. Those entering at 13+ will be considered in respect to their performance in Churcher’s Entrance examination for that age group. Those already in the school will also be considered based on their performance over the preceding two years. A number of Scholarships are available for Sixth Form study. The majority are awarded to existing College pupils but others, based upon GCSE results, are available to those joining the Sixth Form from other schools. The initial award of Scholarships takes place in March and assessment is through references, interview and written examination. Further consideration is given following the publication of GCSE results. There is an expectation at this stage of at least seven 9 or A* grades. Scholars and exhibitioners are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic endeavour and behaviour. Those failing to do so may put their award in jeopardy.

MUSIC SCHOLARSHIPS AND MUSIC EXHIBITIONS Music Scholarships give a reduction of school fees and are awarded mainly at 11+, although outstanding candidates may be considered at any age. Music Exhibitions are awarded to assist with individual tuition in one or more studies.

The standards required on the first study (instrument or voice) are around grade 5 at 11+ and around grade 6-7 at 13+. A second study should also be offered. Some consideration is given to applicants offering instruments in short supply at the College, although the overriding criteria are musicianship and technical accomplishment. Music Scholars and Exhibition holders are required to be supportive of College music making and to take part in music groups as required by the Director of Music. Auditions are held in January for all 11+ candidates and external candidates at 13+ and 16+. Applicants must play two contrasting pieces on their first study and one piece on any secondary study offered. There will also be aural tests and sight reading tests on the first instrument. 11+ and external candidate applications should be made by letter to the Admissions Registrar. The Director of Music will automatically consider internal candidates and no formal application or additional audition is necessary.

BURSARIES Bursaries are mainly awarded to existing pupils of the College but consideration is also given to those entering at 11+, 13+ or 16+. The awards are based upon a clearly identified need. Pupils who have been awarded a scholarship may apply for additional support. Parents apply to the Bursary Committee for assistance and will be required to complete a comprehensive application form. In addition there may be a home visit from the Head of Finance to clarify any information supplied. Bursaries are normally awarded at 10%, 25% or 50% and will remain in place for 1 or 2 years before they are reviewed or until there is a significant change in parental income or assets. Awards above 50% may be given in very exceptional circumstances. The Government Assisted Places Scheme protocol is used as a basis for determining levels of award, suitably adjusted to account for inflation. Unlike the Assisted Places Scheme parental assets as well as income may be brought into consideration. Details of income threshold levels are adjusted annually and are also dependent on the number of siblings. At present to be considered for the minimum level of award of 10%, family income should not exceed £63,500 and there should not be any significant additional assets.

OPEN DAYS We hold a number of Open Mornings and Open Afternoons at the Senior School each term as well as an Annual Saturday Open day late in the Summer Term. The dates and times are posted on our website (www. churcherscollege.com) and are advertised in the local press. Alternatively, please ring the Admissions Registrar for further details or to register, on 01730 263033. The Junior School run many ‘School in Action’ events throughout the year. There is also an Annual Saturday Open Morning in the Summer term; all events are posted on the school’s website.

CURRICULUM STATEMENT

NURSERY (FROM 2 YEARS 9 MONTHS)

a. b. c.

Nestled in the grounds of our Junior School, Churcher’s College Nursery is a warm and creative environment where children are encouraged to explore, question and discover. Every child is unique and we want to give each boy and girl all the opportunities to grow and flourish in a safe and nurturing environment. This helps them to become happy, self-confident and thoughtful children who respect each other and the wonderful natural environment they are sharing.

a broad based and challenging curriculum that enables all pupils to achieve their individual potential in all areas and caters for their individual abilities, needs and interests. a functional education in which pupils are able to develop transferable skills and a love of learning that will enable them to succeed in our ever changing world. experiences of an aesthetic, creative and spiritual nature, with an emphasis on Learning Outside the Classroom

Teaching and learning activities cater for the varying needs of our pupils and allow all to achieve their full potential in a wide variety of areas - academic, creative, sporting, outdoor learning etc., ensuring support and stretch where appropriate. We maintain a broad and balanced curriculum in which pupils experience a wide range of activities to maximise their learning opportunities. Teaching is grounded in pupils’ past experiences and they are helped to see the importance of each area of study. The school is seen as a continually evolving organisation and we constantly reflect upon practice as a means of self improvement.

Focusing on learning through play, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum to ensure that activities engage and challenge youngsters in a setting where children feel safe, happy, secure and confident.

INFANT DEPARTMENT (RECEPTION - YEAR 2) Within the Infant Department of Churcher’s College Junior School we follow all National Curriculum subjects, with an additional lesson of Spanish. The Early Years Foundation Stage is also followed. Whilst we follow National Curriculum guidelines, our planning is such that our expectation of the children’s learning often exceeds such requirements. There are cross-curricular links with many subjects, with the children being taught mainly by their class teacher, but also by specialist teachers for certain subjects such as Music, Games, French and Computing.

JUNIOR DEPARTMENT (YEARS 3 - 6) Children in the Junior Department are encouraged to be more independent and organised in their way of working. The core curriculum encompasses, and in some instances extends, National Curriculum requirements. Subjects are taught by specialist teachers where possible and a wide and varied curriculum is offered including: Art, DT, French, Spanish, Drama, Geography, History, Religious Studies and PSHE. Teaching involves the use of carefully constructed cross curricular links and the use of Computing to deliver lessons is a prominent feature. We ensure stretch and support where necessary. Verbal Reasoning is taught in preparation for Senior School entrance examinations. In Year 6, pupils follow a study skills programme. Homework is set each night and the children take responsibility for writing down work in their homework diaries which are checked by the teacher and signed by a parent on a weekly basis. The curriculum for all pupils is enhanced by a variety of additional activities, outdoor experiences and trips. This wider curriculum incorporates an extensive range of optional clubs as well as sporting fixtures and residential trips. Performing Arts are a prominent feature in school life and pupils are offered many opportunities to take part, ranging from participation in school assemblies to larger more formal events. Learning Outside the Classroom is a strong feature of our teaching at the Junior School.

24 PASTORAL CARE Pastoral care has a high priority at the school, and staff are committed to promoting the welfare and happiness of each pupil.

YEAR GROUPS In the Nursery and the Infant Department classes, there is one class for each year group. From Years 3-6, there are two parallel classes. Pupils moving from Year 2 into Year 3 are divided into the two Year 3 classes as we welcome new pupils into the school. Pupils stay in the same class groups in Year 3 and 4 and then the year group will be reorganised for the final two years of the Junior School. They have a new form teacher each year and the letter distinguishing the two forms in the year will be the initial letter of the class teacher’s surname. Class teachers take primary responsibility for the general well being of children in their class and are the first point of contact for any concerns. All class teachers teach the major academic subjects to their classes.

ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE FROM SCHOOL The Nursery has it’s own routines regarding arrival and departure from school. Early Birds is available at extra cost from 7:30 am in the Dining Room. The School day begins promptly at 8 :40am and the children should be on the premises by 8:30am. The playground is supervised from 8:20am and we ask that children are not left unattended until after this time. There is a morning break between 10:30 – 10:50am. Children in classes R – 2 have lunch at 12 noon and the older children between 12:30pm and 1:30 pm. Afternoon lessons resume at 1:30pm until 3:30pm. Parents of younger children are most welcome to bring them into school but if parents wish to remain in the playground before school begins they are asked to stand behind the gate to ensure that the pupils have sufficient space in which to play. It is recommended that parents of older children (Year 3 upwards) leave them just inside the school gate and allow them to walk to the classroom on their own. School ends at 3:30pm unless they are attending an after-school activity or Prep/Supervision. All pupils must be collected from the school grounds. If for any reason you are likely to be unavoidably delayed please let the school know as soon as possible. Once the children have been collected they are their parents’ responsibility. If anyone other than a parent is collecting a child you are asked to inform the office. If you wish your child to meet you outside the school grounds or to go home by themselves, we require a written note to that effect.

HOMEWORK Homework is introduced in Year 2 where the tasks will include reading, spelling and times tables. Years 3-6 are given between 30 minutes and 1 hour of homework every evening. These children are issued with a homework diary which parents are asked to check and sign every week.

25 THE SCHOOL SHOP This is located in the Front Quad and is open at specified times. All prospective parents are encouraged to place their orders for uniform via the school’s Wisepay on-line ordering system. This is accessed through the Wisepay Payment Site icon on the Churcher’s College website parents page; www. churcherscollege.com/parents. The order can then be collected from reception. The school shop can be contacted directly using the following email address: ccjsuniform@churcherscollege.com.

HEALTH & SAFETY Children are properly supervised during school breaks. Minor accidents are dealt with in the school by staff and a note is made of any incident. If, in their opinion, an injury needs further attention every effort will be made to contact the parents or your nominated emergency contact person. An ambulance would be called in an emergency situation. Please ensure that the school is informed if a child has or develops a medical condition, e.g., asthma, allergies, skin complaints, etc., so that the staff are aware of any potential problem. In the event of a child having head lice parents are asked to inform the school immediately and treat the condition before bringing the child to school. The school will advise other parents of the need to treat their child(ren). In the case of sickness or diarrhoea the school advises that the pupil should be absent for 48 hours to ensure no further infection of other children. If your child requires medication during the course of the school day parents must complete a Medical Authorisation form and return it to the office. Medicine cannot administered without parental consent.

HEALTH EDUCATION All year groups receive Health Education linked with their Science lessons or as part of their RPS course (Religion, Philosophy and Self). This includes topics such as healthy eating, looking after our bodies, cleanliness and the importance of exercise. Sex and Relationships Education starts in Year 5 where the children start to learn about their “Changing Bodies”. In Year 6 they engage in further work in this area as part of their “Citizenship Week” which occurs in the Spring Term.

PARENT LIAISON There is a ‘Meet the Teacher’ evening at the beginning of the Autumn Term. Parents are also encouraged to speak to their child’s class teacher if there are any problems that they wish to discuss. The Head of the Junior School is also available, by appointment through the School Office, should you wish to see her to discuss any aspect of your child’s progress. An overview of our reporting structure is provided to parents at the start of the school year.

26 AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, PREP & SUPERVISION

HOUSE SYSTEM

These take place either during the lunch hour or after school every day. Parents are informed of the activities offered and of any additional costs involved. Parents are asked to collect their child promptly at 4:30pm. The school reserves the right to exclude any child from a club or activity if his or her behaviour is inappropriate. There is no Prep or Infant supervision on Fridays. Tea Club runs at extra cost from 4:30 - 5:30 Monday - Thursday and from 3:40 -5:00pm on Fridays.

Each child in the school is a member of one of four houses; Arun, Hamble, Meon and Rother. House points are given for good work or behaviour and there are house competitions arranged throughout the school year. Members of a house are expected to care and look out for each other.

PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION All parents with children attending the school are members of the thriving Parents’ Association and copies of the constitution are available. There are representatives in each class to assist with welcoming new families into Churcher’s College Junior School.

BUS SERVICE There is a School Bus Service which runs from Churcher’s College in Petersfield to the Junior School in Liphook at the beginning and end of each school day. Details of costs and timings are available from the School Office.

BULLYING There is a clear policy at the school to prevent bullying and it will be dealt with effectively should it occur. No child should feel the odd one out and therefore a potential victim. We emphasise positive relationships and all our community is expected to treat others with respect, courtesy and consideration. We aim to give all children a sense of security and self-esteem.

READING POLICY There is a great deal of emphasis put on reading in the Junior School as an essential tool to understanding and development. We aim to foster a love of books and encourage an enjoyment of reading from the early years. Close home/school links are maintained to ensure that progress is achieved. In Years R, 1 and 2 a pupil will be heard to read individually on a regular basis and group reading activities will take place. These activities aim to promote phonic accuracy, fluency and an ability to predict, enjoy and evaluate the text. Reading and library books will be taken home most evenings and it is important that parents and guardians spend 15–20 minutes each night listening to the children read and discussing what they have read. Children bring home books in their red reading bag and we ask parents to ensure that these books are returned promptly and in good condition. Comments can be written into the reading notebooks. In Years 3 – 6 pupils have the opportunity to read individually; reading opportunities will take many forms, such as comprehension exercises, literary appreciation, reading for information, play and poetry reading and shared reading. Pupils will use the school library and are expected to have a reading book at all times. Afternoon class commences with a short reading period. Graded reading lists and reading records are kept to ensure progression. We consider that 20 minutes a day reading at home from any suitable book is essential to a child’s development. Reading should be encouraged for enjoyment, as a tool for gaining knowledge and to develop speech, language and writing techniques.

COUNSELLING The following measures are designed to support our policy: Pupils are made aware of our attitude towards bullying

The Junior School has the services of a qualified counseller and occasionally children are referred to her following discussions between teachers and parents.

All staff are advised on measures to prevent, detect and deal with instances of bullying

JUNIOR SCHOOL DAILY ROUTINE

Pupils are alerted to this issue through assemblies and their personal social education which is linked into the curriculum. Parents are often the first to become aware when their child is unhappy and you are asked to let the form teacher know immediately. A “No Blame” approach is taken in the first instance to make the pupils involved aware of the effects of their action and encourage them to be more sympathetic to the feelings of others. If the situation should continue the matter will be referred to senior staff co-ordinators and, if necessary, the Head of the Junior School, who will take the appropriate action. The school follows a “Keep on Track” programme to promote tidiness, respect, appearance, courtesy and kindness.
