WILLENHALL SCHOOL SPORTS COLLEGE
A Message from Mrs Till, Headteacher Since achieving Sports College status in 2001, we continue to make a difference to our local community. We are at the centre of the partnership with local secondary, primary, infant and special schools through which we strive to promote excellence in learning and performing. As a Sports College we: •
Place traditional learning values at the centre of a challenging educational programme.
•
Promote achievement by active participation and place great emphasis on a sense of partnership between school and home.
•
Aim to develop a sense of personal responsibility and selfawareness in the pursuit of personal best.
•
Raise the self-esteem and aspirations of our school and its community.
In January 2010 we became a Foundation Trust School which means we now have Best Futures Charitable Trust attached to the school, comprising of a group of dedicated trustees from businesses, higher and further education, as well as health services. Their aim is to support projects and school improvement work to raise standards for every child even higher. Further information on this exciting development can be found on our school website. Click the ‘School’ tab and access ‘Trust School Status’. The Governing Body of the school is very forward thinking, innovative and determined in their vision for excellence. We have a reputation for excellent pastoral support, welfare and guidance and for being a caring school. This is extremely important for

“Dum Tempus Habemus” (while we have time) parents when considering their choice of school, which is best suited to nurturing their son/daughter. Our college is divided into eight Community Houses. This has been in place since May 2005 and gives our young people the opportunities to practice and develop their leadership skills in a variety of ways. Each year 7 pupil will be attached to a House. If they have siblings already at the school then they will join the same House in order to ensure continuity of communication between home and school. Every effort is made to support our young people as they move forwards in their quest for excellence and the development of their ‘Personal Best’. Our expectations of our young people are high. Our values are traditional and centre around mutual respect. We have a very dedicated staff, many of whom have been at the college quite some considerable time, including myself. I joined the school in 1979 and have enjoyed the pleasure of teaching many Moms and Dads! Parents are always very welcome visitors during the school day and we operate an open-door policy at all times. Should you wish to make an appointment to come into school to discuss any concerns please do not hesitate to telephone or email your request.

“Dum Tempus Habemus” (while we have time) Behaviour and Discipline
We use the term “Personal Best” a lot at Willenhall. It means, no matter what your ability, we want you to strive to reach your very best. This is the Willenhall Way. We believe in a relentless focus on: • Learning to achieve students’ Personal Best • Positive Relationships to achieve students’ Personal Best To achieve this we promote: • Fairness of treatment for all in a just and consistent manner. Dealing with poor behaviour by the use of sarcasm and humiliation is never acceptable. • Consistency of response to both positive and negative behaviour. • Early intervention to challenge behaviour that disrupts learning.
“IN PURSUIT OF PERSONAL BEST”

“Dum Tempus Habemus” (while we have time) • A safe environment free from disruption, violence, bullying and any form of harassment. • The difference between the person and the person’s behaviour, making it clear that while we may not like a person’s behaviour, it does not mean we do not like the person. • Explicit ethos, values and expectations to ensure that our parents and students know about and understand them. Therefore all can be actively involved in contributing towards the policy and procedures that help secure good behaviour and relationships. This means our policy and procedures are detailed and prescriptive and very public. The Willenhall Way – Our Code of Conduct As a student at Willenhall you are asked to agree and sign our rules. They are centred around our 5 R’s. These are our key ways of doing things at Willenhall. Respect & Listen e.g. • Talk, don’t shout • Queue patiently • No swearing • Follow staff requests React in a safe way e.g. • Walk on the left • Don’t play on the slopes • No false fire alarms • No physical contact • No smoking • Remain on site Represent the School e.g. • Wear uniform correctly • Personal Best behaviour to and from school • Don’t drop litter • Avoid the front of school at breaks
Ready for Work e.g. • Have everything you need to learn • Be on time • Only leave class with written permission • Do not stop others learning • No eating or chewing in class Relationships that are positive e.g. • Agree how to put things right • Admit when wrong • Co-operate with others • Meet with those we harm
We aim to ensure students’ behaviour is good by promoting self-discipline, encouraging good behaviour through rewards, but discouraging poor behaviour through sanctions.

“Dum Tempus Habemus” (while we have time) The Curriculum
The curriculum at Willenhall School Sports College is designed to give all the pupils the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential both academically and socially. Equally, it is designed to be broad, balanced and meaningful in order to stimulate and motivate all pupils to develop their skills and talents. Our expectations for all children in our care are high and we want all pupils entering the school to share in these aims. Consequently, staff are committed, hardworking and enthusiastic; they are adept at and experienced in using a variety of teaching strategies to ensure that all our pupils are positively involved in the learning process. Subjects are taught according to National Curriculum guidelines. Pupils at Willenhall School Sports College follow similar timetables for the first two years – English, Mathematics, Science, French, Geography, History, Religious Studies, Food, Textiles, Resistant Materials, Art, Dance, Music, Information Technology, Citizenship, Physical Education and Personal, Health and Social Education. These studies continue into year 9 but with am emphasis upon attaining qualifications when each individual pupil is ready. Many will commence GCSE or equivalent studies in English, Mathematics and Science and most pupils in PE and Information Technology.
In Years 10 and 11, at Key Stage 4, all pupils continue to study English, Mathematics, Information Technology, Physical Education and Science. A Design & Technology subject is chosen by most and many pupils will opt to study from the wide range of other qualifications available in Geography, History, French, Religious Studies, Sociology, Information Technology, Business, Art and Design, Photography, Health and Social Care and our range of Performing Arts subjects which include Dance, Design, Drama and Music. Pupils can also gain Sports Leadership qualifications. Some pupils entering Year 10 choose our successful young apprenticeship programmes in Engineering or Sport. Other options are available in conjunction with Walsall College. In addition all students follow a programme of Personal, Health and Social Education, which provides guidance in Careers, the requirements for Further Education and Health Education. All our students take part in Work Experience for one week and are offered Enterprise Activities.

“Dum Tempus Habemus” (while we have time) Citizenship and the School Forum
Here at Willenhall School Sports College we aim to develop the qualities of good citizenship in all our pupils. Seven of our students have won the prestigious national ‘Princess Diana Award for Good Citizenship’ and we raise money for our designated school charities. Pupils support ‘Edwards Trust’, a local Charity and also raise money for national/international charities. This is part and parcel of the life of our school. The views and opinions of our pupils are valued here at Willenhall so we have annual fully democratic elections for our School Forum, the members of which meet monthly to discuss a full range of issues. These ideas and opinions have been to the great benefit of our school, and members of the School Forum also attend governors’ meetings. Through our Citizenship Programme pupils explore the lives of other cultures and carefully planned high impact assemblies further reinforce our ethos of good Citizenship.
Admissions Policy
As a result of becoming a Trust School, Willenhall School Sports College is now responsible for its own admissions. Priority is given to pupils living nearest to the school and those who have brothers or sisters already at the school. The admission number in each year group is 270. If a child is refused a place because the school is over-subscribed, parents can appeal to an Independent Panel by contacting Mrs Yates (Admissions Manager) on 01902 365121.
Mobile Phones
Within the school environment there is a ‘zero visibility’ policy in place with regard to mobile phones. This means that pupils are allowed to have a mobile phone with them, but it must be kept in their bag and out of sight at all times. If pupils are seen with a phone it will be confiscated and parents will be contacted. The phone will only be returned to a parent or other responsible adult and not to the child. Pupils are also not allowed to have any music playing equipment, such as an MP3 or IPod in school. As with the mobile phone policy, if pupils are seen with such an item it will be confiscated and only returned to a parent or other responsible adult.

“Dum Tempus Habemus” (while we have time) School Uniform
Willenhall School Sports College is a uniformed school and we ask parents to support us in our aim to maintain high standards of dress throughout the academic year. We feel uniform encourages: • a sense of belonging • good self-discipline • pride and interest in the school Parents will appreciate the need for a school uniform so that the students will feel themselves part of our community. We have endeavoured both to spare the parents any unnecessary expense and to make the distinctive clothing as functional as possible. Uniform is an unchanging part of our school’s policy.

“Dum Tempus Habemus” (while we have time) Examinations
Public Examinations - We positively encourage all pupils to achieve success through public examinations and it is the policy of Willenhall School Sports College to enter all pupils for public examinations. Some GCSEs have an element of coursework which we expect to be completed on time. A complete list of examination boards and approved syllabus titles is available on request. Our public examination results are published annually.
Extra Activities
In addition to normal curricular activities, Willenhall School Sports College runs many clubs and classes after school which cater for all kinds of interests. These include The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, where many of our pupils have achieved the Gold Award, Art clubs, Computer classes, Drama Productions, Homework Club, Sports, Music and many more. The PE Department alone offers over 50 breakfast and after-school clubs. These include such activities as boys and girls’ football, netball, hockey, basketball, swimming, dance, badminton, trampolining and martial arts. After-school activities start at 2.45 until 4.05 and the second block start at 4.05 until 5.25. For those students who stay until 5.25 there is a mini bus that drops them off at home, free of charge.
Home Learning
Learning at home is a very important part of the educational experience and encourages independent learning skills. We place great value on the supervisory and supportive role that parents can play in taking an active interest in their child’s home learning and checking that suitable progress is being made. Pupils in years 7 and 8 engage in home learning projects designed to encourage the personal and learning skills which become so important at later stages in their education. Older pupils receive more traditional homework tasks, often over extended periods of time. Personal planners are issued to pupils to help organise and monitor home learning. We welcome contact with the school that informs and improves the home learning experience of our pupils.

“Dum Tempus Habemus” (while we have time) Language & Learning Development
At Willenhall School Sports College we support the child in the curriculum. Learning support offers a whole school approach and we offer curriculum support for pupils with learning difficulties. We believe that:
• We should be seeking the highest quality of education for all students. Willenhall is fully accessible to disabled pupils and staff. We have two lifts and five disabled toilets throughout the school, two of which are in the PE Changing Rooms. There is also a disabled block which has several specific pieces of equipment, including a ceiling hoist, shower and changing facilities. For pupils who require Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy or Speech Therapy, within school hours, we have a ‘Therapy Room’. School also has a portable hoist, as well as other specialist equipment, for use in the classroom, e.g. desks with adjustable height facility, Design and Technology work benches with adjustable height facility and a specially modified work area and sink in Food Technology.
Lunch time organisation Facilities are provided and supervised for your child’s lunchtime arrangements. There are two separate restaurants offering a variety of hot meals, salads, filled jacket potatoes, pasta, baguettes and sandwiches, together with a range of drinks. The emphasis is on healthy options. Our “Meal Deal” comprising a main course, dessert and water/squash at £1.70 is excellent value. Vegetarian choices are always available and we will readily assist with any specific dietary needs. Alternatively, students may bring their own packed lunch if they wish. Chilled, filtered water is available throughout the day and students are encouraged to drink water regularly. During lunchtime all pupils in years 7-11 are expected to stay on the school site at all times. This is a measure put in place to ensure their safety. There are a variety of activities pupils can participate in, including sports and ICT.

“Dum Tempus Habemus” (while we have time) Religious Education
Willenhall School Sports College follows the Walsall MBC Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. We take into account the impact of Christianity on the history and culture of British society and also teach pupils about the other faiths found in our area, especially Sikhism and Islam. Any parent who does not wish their child to attend has the legal right to do this if they contact the school, in writing. Any parent who wishes to withdraw their child from Religious Education provision must contact the school, in writing. The parent is obliged to provide their child with work relating to their own religious tradition, to be completed during lesson time.
Kaleidos Learning Platform: Virtual Learning Environment
The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is a powerful whole-school content management and delivery module for both teachers and students, with tools for planning and delivering lessons and recording the attainment of individual learners. The school sees the VLE making pupils better independent learners – enabling teachers to give tailored work to their students. The VLE is entirely web-based, so all you need to access is a web browser and internet connection. This will allow students to access their learning resources from home or at school. Students have their own workspace within the VLE which brings everything that they need together in one place. They can browse their course, search for resources, receive and return assignments and check their own progress using the detailed markbook. The school is currently using the VLE to communicate important information to students on a daily basis, making available GCSE exam revision material and learning resources from their classes, which they previously did not have access to from home.
Reports
The school no longer hands out paper Reports. All Grades and Subject Targets are made available to parents at all times, online, using the School’s Management Information System (MIS) Website called e-Portal. The parents of each student receive a personal login to this information system. You can access e-Portal through the School Website or the VLE (Virtual Learning Environment).
