Respect

Happiness

At Stroud we believe that ‘school’ should be so much more than academic lessons in a classroom and we are hugely proud of our co-curricular provision. All pupils are encouraged to take advantage of every opportunity to make the most of their own talents and abilities.

Stroud pupils are considered part of the Senior School when they enter Year 6. The Senior School Team is looking forward to welcoming your child into the Department, and if you have any concerns at all then do not hesitate to contact myself or your child’s form tutor.

This booklet aims to provide you with as much information as possible to help your child settle in quickly and happily into our Senior School, whether they are moving on from our Middle School or are new to the school.

It is at this time that you will be considering next steps for your children.

Making a decision on future schooling can seem daunting with so many possibilities to consider. Mrs Renouf, the Senior School Assessment Coordinator has a wealth of experience in this area and she will communicate with you in due course with information on examinations, requirements and key dates.

I very much look forward to meeting you and working with your children during this exciting phase in their school careers.

Tel: 01794 513231CLUB BREAKFAST

Email: office@stroud-kes.org.uk

Breakfast Club (for which there is an extra charge) is held in the main dining room. It begins at 7.45am and finishes at 8.15am when the children go to the hall in the main school. The Breakfast Team request that children are dropped off no later than 8am to enable time to eat a healthy breakfast. The children have a choice of cereal, yoghurt, toast, pastries and fresh fruit. The menu is adapted for the time of year which includes porridge and hot milk in the winter.

EARLY ARRIVAL Pupils who arrive between 8.15am and 8.30am are to go straight to the hall in the main school building with their bags. A member of staff will be on duty in the school hall from 8.15am to supervise. At 8.30am pupils will be taken into the playground, weather permitting, until the bell rings for registration at 8.40am.

REGISTRATION It is very important that pupils arrive punctually in the mornings for registration at 8.40am. On some days registration times might be one of the few times that pupils see their form tutors if they don’t happen to be taught by them on that particular day.

This is valuable pastoral time allowing pupils to organise themselves and their belongings for their lessons. During this period, the form tutor will share notices for the day or information concerning up-coming events. It is also a time for the pupil to share news or issues with the class, or form tutor.

SNACK Children may bring in a small healthy snack for morning break if they wish.

Tel: 01794 513231 Email: office@stroud-kes.org.uk

As we are a “nut free” school please do not give your child nuts or products that ‘may contain nuts’.

There are water fountains in various locations around school for the children to have access to water. However, children are able to bring a water bottle into school for daily use as well as matches. A Stroud water bottle can be purchased from Stevensons (uniform supplier).

LUNCH The kitchen caters for all dietary needs. We offer a range of foods which we encourage the children to try. Should your child have specific dietary requirements, please email matron and inform your child’s teacher.

Lunch takes place from 1.00pm in the dining room, where a canteen style two-course lunch is served to the children.

A weekly menu is posted on the school VLE: https://vle.stroud-kes.org.uk/ menu.

END OF THE DAY Year 6, 7 and 8 children return to their classrooms, after assembly, to collect their belongings and are dismissed by their form tutors. Unless they are staying for prep or after school clubs, pupils will then leave via the back stairs entrance (Prefects may use the front door) and meet you at the end of the terrace.

PREP TEA Many pupils opt to stay on after school to do prep or other activities such as clubs.

These513231 pupils will have teaEmail: (a light snack and drink) as soon as they are Tel: 01794 office@stroud-kes.org.uk

dismissed from the classroom and then make their way to the prep room.

PREP Pupils in Senior School are expected to do prep most days.  Half prep: 4.45pm – 5.15pm  Full prep: 4.45pm – 5.45pm

An hour’s prep will be set 4 days a week. One day is left free to enable pupils to participate in clubs or to catch up if other evenings prove problematic due to after school activities. In Year 6 children will record details of prep in their prep diary which is given to them at the start of term.

In the Senior School preps are recorded on the VLE. All children are trained how to use their iPad and the VLE as an organisational tool at the beginning of term. Some prep may be submitted online depending on the task set and will be made explicit during lessons.

If you feel your child has applied himself/herself diligently for that period of time then we would ask you to make them stop. On top of a busy day we feel that home/relaxation time is very important. If for any valid reason your child has not been able to complete their prep on the designated evening then please email the form tutor who will try and organise a time for your child to catch up. Many pupils in the Senior School opt to do their prep at school as it is then complete before leaving school.

Pupils need to tell form tutors in the morning if they are staying for prep. If your child has signed into prep at morning registration and you wish to take them home at 4.30pm, please inform the office so the register can be changed.

At 5.15pm and 5.45pm pupils can be collected from the dining hall where they will be checked off as they are collected. If you arrive later than expected, pupils will be collected from the reception hall in the main school building. We would request that you try to avoid taking your child out of Tel: 01794 513231

Email: office@stroud-kes.org.uk

prep at odd times as it can be disruptive to other pupils if there are constant disturbances.

CLUBS In the Senior School the number and variety of clubs increase. Information and details on clubs, and the ability to book your child into these clubs is available on My School Portal. This gives you the chance to discuss with your child the options available and select accordingly. We do stress that replies have to be received by the given date to help ensure the options can be accommodated. Once committed to the club, we expect pupils to attend for the whole term, or the duration of the club. Senior pupils are expected to complete their prep after attending a club and hand it in on time as normal.

Clubs normally start at 4.45pm but finish times vary. We do ask parents to check the finish times and pick up their children promptly. Pupils will be checked off and dismissed from the hall by the member of staff running that club. In the event of a child not being picked up from an off-site activity, such as hockey at Wellington, they will be brought back to school.

Those staying for any clubs that finish at 6.45pm will be given a cooked tea at 4.30pm.

If your child has signed into a club but you wish to take them home at 4.30pm, please inform the office so the register can be changed.

COMMUNICATION It is imperative that the school office has your up to date e-mail addresses and mobile phone numbers.

There are several methods of communicating information home.

1.Tel: 01794 Stroud School My SchoolEmail: Portal: 513231 office@stroud-kes.org.uk

PREFECTS To develop leadership qualities and teamwork skills, as well as instil a sense of responsibility, all pupils are given the opportunity to become prefects in Year 8.

Pupils are invited to apply for positions at the end of the Summer Term in Year 7.

Roles such as Head Boy/Girl, Deputy Head Boy/Girl and Head or Deputy of Section are seen as key leadership positions and all prefects work as a team to fulfil various tasks such as assisting with younger pupils during wet breaks, ICT, library and the equipment shop.

Prefects run their sections and act as ambassadors for the school when showing visitors around. They are viewed as good role models; they gain certain privileges within the school and are distinguishable by wearing a different tie.

EQUIPMENT Throughout the Senior School we endeavour to develop pupils’ personal organisation skills. It is therefore expected that pupils arrive at lessons with all necessary books and equipment. The following equipment list is given in your child’s513231 homework diary and we would encourage you to ensure your Tel: 01794 Email: office@stroud-kes.org.uk

child has everything he/she needs and that it is clearly labelled.

Please check your child’s pencil case regularly and ensure missing items are replenished. The school equipment shop (open at break times) stocks items at very reasonable prices. Please also not that a biro should not be used as the sole writing pen.

All pupils in Year 7 and 8 are expected to bring in their own Apple iPad Handwriting pen

PARENTS’ EVENINGS AND REPORTING At the start of each academic year there is a Presentation Evening outlining the curriculum, learning outcomes and expectations for the forthcoming year. This will also give you an opportunity to meet the staff who will be teaching your child.

Parents’ evenings take place at various times during the academic year, and Tel: 01794 513231

Email: office@stroud-kes.org.uk

these are a chance to discuss your child’s pastoral and academic progress.

Dates are published in the school calendar and you are able to book an appointment with your child’s teachers on My School Portal. We operate an open door policy. If you have any queries please email your child’s Form Tutor to arrange a convenient meeting.

We endeavour to keep parents well informed of their child’s progress. At the end of the Autumn Term parents will receive a short report identifying effort and achievement grades in all subject areas. There will also be a Personal and Social comment from their respective Form Tutors. Following the end of year examinations, all pupils will receive a detailed end of year report with exam results, effort and achievement grades, a teacher comment for all subjects and a form report.

EXTRAS Lessons for musical instruments, riding and speech and drama are all extra to the curriculum.

At Stroud, we encourage Tel: value 01794a513231 Email: and breadth of education andoffice@stroud-kes.org.uk opportunities, but please be aware

that children are withdrawn from class lessons for ‘extras’. We therefore strongly recommend that pupils take on no more than two ‘extra’ in any term.

‘Extra’ music and speech and drama lessons are timetabled on a rota system to avoid missing the same class lesson each week. There is some scope for Extras to be timetabled at 8.30am, but this is not always possible, and may be for a maximum of one term, to share the slot between pupils.

Parents are also welcome to talk to Mrs Fay (trf@stroud-kes.org.uk) about musical Extras, or Mrs Reid (wsr@stroud-kes.org.uk) about speech and drama.

SECTIONS Each child is put into a section when they join the school and are given a section badge to pin to their top. Please encourage your child to take care of this as there will be a charge if a replacement is required. There are three sections (based on the traditional house system); Greyhounds, Bulldogs or Terriers. They will remain in their section until they leave Stroud, forming a Tel: 01794 513231

strong sense of allegiance and sporting camaraderie.

There is great competition between the three sections and, as well as competing in sporting events, children strive to achieve sections stars. Our reward system is based on children earning stars in all areas of school life; for effort, achievement and courtesy. Each week these are collected and counted and added to the termly total. The section with the most stars win the section treat.

REWARDS Our reward system is based on children earning stars in all areas of school life; for effort, achievement and courtesy. Each child will have a ‘Class Dojo’ account where stars are logged. They will also be given a section card to record stars earnt outside the classroom. Each week the stars are counted and added to the termly total.

Stars are awarded for:  Achievement in all areas of school life – academic, sport, music and Tel: 01794 513231

Gold Stars represent a major achievement or improvement, eg:  Consistent high standard of progress and attainment over a period of weeks in a particular subject/ work  Consistent progress across the curriculum in a term  Consistent helpfulness to a member of the school community Gold star certificates are handed out in a Celebration Assembly where the children are individually congratulated. Gold stars are worth 10 section stars and count towards winning the section treat. The top star earners in each class are presented with a prize in the end of term assembly.

SANCTIONS Negative behaviour is dealt with in a positive and supportive manner in class. However, when this does not have the required effect we have a card system to provide further support.

The system: Step 1: Teacher gives a verbal warning.

Step 2: Teacher puts the child’s name on the board.

Step 3: Teacher gives a mark next to the name.

Step 4: The child is given a Green card.

Tel: 01794 513231

Email: office@stroud-kes.org.uk

Green Cards: Green cards are given for low level, consistently disruptive behaviour where the classroom management system has not resulted in a positive change.

This could also be for rudeness, repeated poor organisation or disruptive behaviour not consistent with our core values of Honesty, Respect and Happiness.

A child can be given a Green card by any member of staff and they then must take this card to their Form Tutor to explain what has happened. At this point the Form Tutor will work with the child in a supportive manner to put in place any systems that might be required to help. Action plans will be drawn up by tutors for persistent collectors.

Yellow Cards: For significant rudeness, swearing or disruptive behaviour. A refusal to comply with direct staff instructions, physical aggression or deliberately hurtful actions towards peers. It could also be awarded for misusing iPads or Social Media.

If a child is given a Yellow card they must hand it to the Head of Department who will discuss the issue with the child and put into place any systems that might help the child modify their behaviour. There will also be a sanction as Tel: 01794 513231

Email: office@stroud-kes.org.uk

Please ensure that your child’s uniform and games kit, including shoes and boots, is clearly labelled in accordance with the instructions contained on the uniform pages.

Lost property will be collected and stored in the cupboards on the mezzanine floor of the ASD Hall. Please look here if your child misplaces any uniform or games kit. Any named items will be returned to class. Unnamed items are collected and stored for a limited period of time.

At the end of a half term, all lost property items will be displayed in the ASD Hall for you to look through. Any unnamed items left will be donated to charity.

SCHOOL POLICIES We have a comprehensive range of policies and procedures available to all parents. You can view these on our website https://www.stroud-kes.org.uk/ about-us/policies/ or a hard copy is available on request from the School Office.

STROUD SCHOOL ASSOCIATION Every parent is automatically a member of the Stroud School Association, which is run by a committee who organise social events throughout the year. Any funds raised are for the benefit of the children in school. If you are interested in becoming an active member of the committee, please see the school office.

COFFEE MORNING From drop-off until 9am, parents are welcome to have coffee in the dining hall. This is a fantastic opportunity to get to know other parents and is always very popular. Can parents please leave the dining hall by 9.30am on a Wednesday as the space is needed for an assembly.
