How to appeal for a place at our school

If you have applied and been refused a place at our school (in any year group), you are entitled to appeal against that decision.

Appeals for PDET academies are administered by The Diocese of Peterborough Education team. For more information on the process please see: www.peterborough-diocese.org.uk/church-schools/admission-and-appeals/

Pupil Behaviour

Our Behaviour and Anti-Bullying Policy will advise you on how we manage discipline and behaviour at our School.

Please see the link in our sidebar for all of our Key Policies and reports.


Pupil Premium and Sports Premium

The pupil premium is an allocation of additional funding provided to schools to support specific groups of children who are vulnerable to underachievement. The three identified groups are: pupils who are entitled to free school meals, pupils who have a parent working for the armed services and those children in local authority care. 

The funding received by our School has been used in a variety of ways in order to improve attainment and progress and to help overcome barriers to learning.

We know that children learn best when they are happy, secure, confident, valued, and fully included in school life. Our use of pupil premium funding takes account of wide considerations. We believe that raising standards is best achieved by ensuring that children have reasonable access to all that our school has to offer. 

Detailed statements of the school's Pupil Premium information can be found on a page dedicated to this topic, click here.

Detailed statements of the school's Sports Premium information can be found on a page dadicated to this topic, click here.


Special Educational Needs

We are a highly inclusive school and the needs of all pupils are taken seriously and supported in an individualised way. Staff are sensitive to the needs of every child and through working wit the SENCO and external professionals aim to deliver the highest standard of education for all children regardless of their needs.

We believe in an inclusive approach to teaching and learning and that all children should be supported to reach their full potential. Quality first teaching is used to ensure pupils are accessing the full curriculum, lessons are differentiated and adapted to meet the needs of all children including those with SEND. Scaffolds and practical resources are provided to support children to work independently. Research evidence is used to plan effective interventions and staff receive training to ensure that the delivery of such interventions has the desired impact. Children with SEN are included in all aspects of school life and are encouraged to join clubs and participate in all activities.

Early identification of children’s needs is key to ensuring that provision for children with SEND is in place to meet their individual needs. Staff work closely together to plan an appropriate curriculum to meet their individual targets. We believe in early intervention and aim to address any emerging need as soon as possible. We encourage parental input when planning the provision for individual pupils. The progress of all children on the SEND register are reviewed regularly in collaboration with families and relevant professionals.

All children are seen as individuals and staff have high expectations for every child. All children, including those with SEND, are encouraged to be independent, confident, motivated life-long learners.

Please see our full SEND Report, provided in the key policies and reports area of this page.

We urge parents / carers with any concerns regarding the SEND policy or the provision made for their child to speak to the school as soon as possible and, in the first instance, to the class teacher or the SENCO. If parents / carers feel their child's needs are still not being met they should make an appointment to see the Headteacher.

If concerns are still unresolved parents / carers may wish to engage with PDET’s Complaints policy procedures - https://www.pdet.org.uk/key-documents/policies - NB - any issue relating to statutory SEN assessments should be pursued with the relevant Local Authority and not via PDET’s Complaints policy. If parents / carers require further advice / support, they should use the local Information, Advice and Support Service for Special Educational Needs and Disability SENDIASS (http://www.iassnorthants.co.uk , telephone 01604 364772.


Charging Policy

The school's charging and remissions policy can be found by using the link in our sidebar for all of our Statutory Policies.


Term-Time Absence

The default school policy for term-time absence is that absences will not be granted during term-time and will only be authorised in exceptional circumstances. The decision to authorise a pupil’s absence is wholly at the head teacher’s discretion based on their assessment and merits of each request.
