REWARDS AND RECOGNITION
HAYES SCHOOL VISION & STRATEGIC AIMS Our Vision: Hayes School’s vision is to have uncompromising aspirations for every individual and for our school to be recognised as an exceptional and inspirational community of lifelong learners.
Our Strategic Aims: Be a “world-class” school committed to continuous improvement Provide unparalleled support and personal and professional opportunities for students and staff Create a safe, inclusive and inspiring environment in which all students can thrive Deliver an innovative and inspiring curriculum, providing all students with the skills, knowledge and qualifications to progress and achieve their aspirations Work in partnership with parents/carers, other schools and the wider community for mutual benefit Be in the top 10% of schools nationally for educational outcomes Page 2
We aim to celebrate students’ success and raise their achievement in all aspects of school life by recognising and rewarding their effort, achievement, progress, participation, and contributions to the school and wider community. Achievement Points and Letters of Recognition (KS4 and KS5) Achievement points and letters of recognition can be awarded for effort, progress, outstanding achievement, participation in extra curricular activities (attendance at a practice, participation in a sports match and/or music/drama productions and debating societies), student leadership, or for contributions to the wider school community and environment e.g. helping out at Open Day.
BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT
HAYES CURRICULUM
The school sets high standards of behaviour for its students, and is a community which values and respects each individual, whether staff or students. Racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination are not acceptable. We aim to prepare students for living in a diverse and increasingly inter-dependent society. Where students infringe our standards they will be dealt with using the guidance set out in the Behaviour Management Policy. Students having difficulty with their behaviour will be offered individual support by the pastoral team, Student Support Department and Behaviour and Inclusion Manager.
The purpose of Hayes School’s curriculum is to give every student the opportunity to meet the high expectations of our school vision. This is through a broad and balanced curriculum experience alongside relevant, personalised and timely Information, Advice and Guidance. As an Academy we chose to follow the National Curriculum but retain the opportunity to offer an alternative as and when appropriate.
Sanctions will be applied fairly in accordance with DfE guidance and exclusion used only as a last resort when all other alternatives have been exhausted.
TIME SPENT TEACHING There are 25 lessons per week in Key Stages 3 and 4, each of one hour in length. In addition, there is a 5 minute registration period at the beginning of each morning session and a 20 minute registration/tutorial at the end of each afternoon session. The timetable is constructed to operate for 50 lessons over a two week period, although there are twilight sessions for Sixth Form students.
What subjects are on offer for students to study? At Key Stage 3: Art, Design Technology, Drama, English, French, Spanish or German, Geography, History, ICT, Maths, Music, PE, RE, Science. At Key Stage 4: GCSE: Art, Biology, Business Studies, Chemistry, Computing, Dance, Combined Sciences, DT Graphics, DT Product Design, DT Food, Drama, English Language, English Literature, French, Geography, German, History, Maths, Media Studies, Music, PE, Physics, RE, Sociology, Spanish, Textiles Cambridge National: ICT. BTEC: Media ASDAN: Certificate of Personal Effectiveness, Key Skills Other: Functional Skills Level 2 in English and Maths
SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS - Student Support The Student Support Department works to support student access to learning across the curriculum. The vast majority of students’ special educational needs will be met in the classroom through quality first teaching. Where a student is deemed to not be making sufficient progress, the department’s aim is to provide targeted, good quality support and intervention that will enable students to maximise their skills and independence in the classroom. The Student Support Department works closely with teachers and form tutors throughout the school, and essentially seeks to work in partnership with parents and carers to support your child’s learning progress. The type and style of support will vary according to the needs of the student. The school works with external agency input where this is appropriate, including The Sensory Impairment Service, The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), and the Educational Psychology Service. In addition to the provision described above, students may use the Student Support room before school to get themselves organised for the day. There is also a daily lunch club, and a homework club every day after school. Page 3
COMPULSORY PHYSICAL EDUCATION
CAREERS EDUCATION & WORK RELATED LEARNING
Physical Education is a compulsory part of the National Curriculum for all students from Years 7 to 11. Our sporting curriculum offers a broad range of activities which provide students with the confidence and motivation to develop themselves and establish a life long interest in sport and recreation.
Careers Education is introduced at KS3 and continues through to the Sixth Form. Careers Education is delivered through:
EXTRA-CURRICULAR CLUBS Hayes School prides itself on its diverse range of extracurricular clubs on offer to all ages groups and abilities. Please refer to the school website to see the full timetable.
SCHOOL UNIFORM We are convinced that schools which uphold high standards of appearance and dress are more successful than schools which are casual about such matters. We expect all students in Years 7-11 to wear the full prescribed school uniform and to be dressed smartly. This applies both to uniform worn in school and to outdoor garments worn to and from school. Our position has the full authority of the Governing Body.
ATTENDANCE Attendance is a major determiner of success at school. We expect students to strive for 100% attendance but accept unavoidable absences will occur. These must be kept to a minimum. 90% attendance equals an average half a day per week absent 80% attendance equals an average whole day per week absent Home and School must support attendance in the interests of every child. Authorised Absence is for unavoidable events, e.g. illness. Unauthorised Absence ranges from truancy to unjustifiable, avoidable absences, including holidays. The school may issue fixed penalty notices and proceed with court action where attendance is a concern and does not improve as a result of the school and partners/carers working in partnership.

HAYES SCHOOL GOVERNING BODY Hayes School is supported by a board of 16 voluntary governors who work closely with staff, within a shared leadership model. As Hayes has academy status, governors are also trustees who hold the major legal and financial responsibilities. But beyond this, all governors understand their moral responsibility for ensuring the best education and care for all Hayes students. There are 4 parent governors, 8 co-opted and 4 staff, including the Principal and CEO who together bring a wide range of experiences and professional expertise. Governors are responsible for agreeing the vision, ethos and strategic direction, holding the school to account for standards and ensuring financial probity. The work is divided between four committees: Resources; Leadership & Management; Teaching & Learning and Achievement. There are also link governors for areas such as SEND, Safeguarding and Health & Safety. Governance has been judged outstanding by Ofsted and governors are actively involved in the life of the school, providing both challenge and support.
ADMISSIONS The admissions policy for entry to Year 7 in 2017 is available on the school website. The Governors propose that the admission arrangements for entry to Hayes School for the academic year 2017-2018 are as follows: Admission Numbers: Y ears 7 – 11 240 The closing date for applications to Year 7 for September will be in line with Bromley guidelines. Applications must be made on the Common Application Form which is available to Bromley residents from the local authority or Bromley primary schools. Places will be offered in line with the coordinated admissions scheme. The School will offer 240 places to boys and girls. Places will be offered using the following criteria: 1. Looked After Children (Children in Public Care) i) A looked after child is a child who is in the care of a local authority or being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions. These children must still be “looked after” when the child starts school unless (ii) applies. ii) A “previously looked after child” is a child who has previously been looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order). This includes children who were adopted under the Adoption Act 1976 and children who were adopted under the Adoption and Children Act 2002. 2. Siblings A sibling refers to brother or sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, step brother or sister, or the child of the parent/carer’s partner, and in every case, the child should be living in the same family unit at the same address. The elder sibling must still be on roll at this School when the younger child starts school. Sibling applications will only be accepted for siblings of pupils in Years 7 to 10; siblings of pupils in Year 11 whose parents have confirmed their commitment to the pupil continuing into Year 12 (written confirmation will be required) and siblings of Year 12 students who are attending a 2 year course. However, siblings of Year 13 students will not be accepted.
3. Children of staff at the school Hayes may give priority regarding oversubscription criteria to children of staff in either or both of the following circumstances: a) Where the member of staff has been directly employed by the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and/or b) The member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
4. Proximity Any remaining place will be offered in accordance with the distance measured (in a straight line) from the front door of the child’s home address (including flats) to the main entrance of the school building, using the local Authority’s computerised measuring system. Those living closer to the school receive the higher priority. ‘Home’ being where the child normally resides as their only or principal residence. Addresses involved in child minding (professional or relatives) are excluded. Parents will be asked to provide documentary evidence to confirm an address and parental responsibility.
Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs or Educational Health and Care Plan (EHCP) are dealt with under a separate process by the LA Special Educational Needs team. The published admission number of all Bromley schools is inclusive of students with a Statement of Special Educational needs or Educational, Health and Care Plan (EHC) that are admitted to the school pursuant to the school being named in the statement or EHC plan.
