School Development Plan 2014-2015

Our Aim:
To motivate, challenge and inspire the children, so that they are actively involved in their
learning, see the value and purpose of their learning and have a strong sense of belief,
that they can and will be successful learners. We want success for all!
Our Vision:
The school is currently regarded by Ofsted as being outstanding. Numbers are rising but
as yet we are not oversubscribed. We are regarded favourably by parents and the
immediate community.
In three years time our vision is to be an oversubscribed 2-form entry school with wrap
around care from 8am 5:00pm with a highly qualified, stable staff providing first class
opportunities for all pupils to meet their potential.
To help achieve this vision we will:
Provide a happy, safe and secure environment in which every child is valued as an
individual and can succeed.

Build a community based on the home/school agreement in which all are involved in
fostering attitudes to care, tolerance and understanding.

Help all children to build on their previous experience and acquire further skills and
knowledge which they will need for their future learning and life.
Pg 17
Provide equal opportunities for each child to develop independence and

responsibility for themselves, other people and the environment within the school and
the local and wider community.
Make the most of every opportunity, both in and out of school, and develop an I can
do attitude and love of learning.
School Development Priorities
Extended Day - To establish and then maintain a series of breakfast clubs and afterschool clubs to ensure that the school can be considered to be a 8.30am to 5pm
school.
Workforce - To ensure that the school's workforce remains efficient and cost effective.
SPAG - To raise the profile of Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar at the school and
ensure our results are in-line with other subjects.
Technology - To ensure that the school is equipped with efficient and working
technology for both teaching and learning.
Extended School by Stella Linares and Jake Taylor

The extended services program this term consists of 4 main strands: Breakfast Club, After
School Clubs, Parent Support Workshops and Melcombe University. Extended day also
includes the organization, set up and running of the winter and summer fairs. There will
also be various fundraising activities to improve the schools playground throughout the
year organized in collaboration with the schools Parent Reps.
Breakfast Club by Stella Linares
Breakfast clubs runs from 8.00am 8.50am every weekday morning before the school day
begins. Children pay 3 per day and are served a choice of cereal or toast with a drink.
The children then engage in a range of social activities together. Children in the club
range from Year 1 to Year 6. They do not attend every day, but are registered to come on
identified days. There are currently 26 children on the list. From September 2014, the
Children's Centre began providing Breakfast Club for children in Nursery and Reception,
which has freed up more spaces for Children from Year 1 up. There are 3 members of staff
who supervise Breakfast Club at a ratio of 1 adult to every 10 children.
After School Clubs by Stella Linares
After school clubs run from 3.15pm 4.15pm everyday after school. All classroom-based
clubs are run by support staff, at a ratio of 1 adult to every 15 children. Elite Sports Agency
runs all sports coaching clubs at a ratio of 1 adult to every 20 children. Reflect Productions
continue to run Drama and Martial Arts at a ratio of 1 adult to every 16 children. Zumba will
now be run by a parent in the school who is a professionally trained instructor and has
kindly chosen to donate all of the money to the improvement of the school playground.
In the Autumn Term there were 25 different clubs that offered spaces to children from
Reception to Year 6. Due to the school increasing in size and ever-growing demand for
wrap around care, the school will now offer 28 clubs. Children will now sign up one half
Pg 18
term prior to clubs beginning and from January 2014, parents have been asked to pay in
full to secure their childrens places. This is to ensure all children take up their spaces and
avoid other children missing out.
The skills to be covered in the clubs are identified in advance. These skills are assessed
at the start of the term and then again at the end of the term in order to track
progress. Children also complete an evaluation form at the end of the 10 weeks to say
what they have learnt, what they have enjoyed and how they can apply those skills in
other areas. We have also entered into football matches with the Melcombe Football
Team for both boys and girls. To cover sport premium the extended day leaders have
offered 25 subsidized spaces to less advantaged children to take part in sports coaching
outside of school. Both parents and children have benefitted from this opportunity and
commented on the advantages.
Parent Support Workshops by Stella Linares
Over the course of this academic year we will provide Steps and Blocks Workshops for
parents of children in Reception to Year 5. These will be held to support parents in helping
their children at home to develop reading and mental maths skills. The leaders of these
areas have not yet had the chance to run these workshops. We will also be running a
transition workshop for parents of children in Reception, specifically focusing on the
phonics used in Year One, in preparation for the phonics testing that the children will
undertake at the end of Year One.
Melcombe University By Jake Taylor
Every Friday afternoon, Reception to Year 2 and Year 3 to Year 6 meet in the hall and
children are split into workshops that they have signed up to at the start of the term. There
are currently 19 workshops running and these are led by teachers or support staff. The
sessions are planned in advance and skills to be covered are identified. These skills are
assessed at the start of the term and then again at the end of the term in order to track
progress. At the end of the term, children are awarded with a diploma in their chosen
subject.
Winter and Summer Fair by Jake Taylor
The Winter Fair was deemed a huge success. The parent representatives, in coordination
with the Extended Day Leaders, largely ran the fair. This was extremely successful
approach as it gave parents a sense of ownership and allowed them to contribute to
themselves to the school. We were able to supply a range of activities across the evening
to celebrate the holiday season. The Winter Fair raised a profit of over 600, which will go
towards the playground resurfacing.
The Summer Fair will take place in the Summer 2 and will be slightly earlier than previous
years to avoid a clash with Ramadan. This will allow the majority of the school community
to be able to enjoy the event. The Parent Representatives will be largely responsible for
the event and will liaise with the extended day leaders during weekly meetings and
running up to the event. We have decided to move the fair to a Friday afternoon instead of
a Saturday, as we believe this will draw more people from the school. Again, all profits will
go towards the resurfacing of the playground.
Pg 19
There is a very small group of parents loosely involved in the setting up of the Summer
Fair this year. 3 support staff and myself have predominantly organised it. This needs to
be addressed next year in order to give parents more ownership. We have kept several
contacts from last year including the local press, The Fire Brigade and Flam FC and we
have gained even more, so the fair looks to be bigger and better than before. We are also
using the money from last years Fair to purchase the necessary equipment (such as BBQs
and gazebos) so that we have our own set of resources rather than borrowing from other
local schools. The fair will be held on 12th July 12-3pm 2014
Workforce by Wayne Leeming

The teaching staff currently has no changes and there are no changes in leadership
positions from the previous report. At present the school will be fully staffed with existing
staff members in September 2015.
There are 9 temporary contracts which are coming to an end because of a lack of need
(the jobs are no longer required) and / or a lack of funding. For example staff who
supported pupils who are now in Year 6 and will be leaving at the end of the school year.
The Head Teacher has met with these 9 members of staff and informed them of this
position. These will cease and will take effect in July 2015.
With two senior staff members looking to further reduce the number of days they work at
the school, we have had to put plans in to place for succession and this has been
budgeted for in the new school financial year.
SPAG by Carol Campbell

In order to make sure we are well prepared, I have ordered new resources, including
testing, for all year groups and I am working with Natasha and Alison to ensure that these
can be incorporated into our curriculum as smoothly as possible. The fact that we already
have an excellent legacy of literacy teaching and learning should ensure that the new
Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation Curriculum will enhance childrens current learning in
this area.
To help the transition for teachers, there will be a Staff Meeting to introduce the new
Spag criteria this week (1st April).
Technology by Wayne Leeming

The new photocopiers are finally installed and running. This has meant that staff can now
be more optimistic about being able to photocopy and have a better chance of the
machine working. All teaching staff have been given a number to use when logging in to
the photocopiers which means that we can now track the use of the photocopier. There
have been a small number of issues but these were addressed immediately by the
photocopier company.
The current ICT Technician reduced the number of hours he worked at the school from 2.5
days to 0.5 days. This meant that a lot of work built up and that the school was falling
behind in certain instances where something broke and was in a queue to be fixed. It was
then decided to employ an ICT Technician from Reed for 5 days to work with the current
Pg 20
ICT Technician with the view to him taking over the role at a later date. The new ICT
Technician is in place and has been reducing the number of outstanding jobs every day.
Staff trying to teach ICT the curriculum subject are still experiencing difficulties because of
the lack of hardware but the purchase of this has been agreed by the governors and the
money ring fenced for the next financial year. The equipment will be ordered and installed
as soon as the new budget is agreed.
New Curriculum by Natasha Myrtil

Teachers are now delivering the new topic and science units, in line with the new national
curriculum. In general, teachers are doing a good job of planning and delivering these new
topics. Next year, the focus will be on providing more depth in some of these topics and
ensuring that trips and first hand experiences are booked in advance. Literacy and reading
units are constantly being updated, so the content reflects the new topic units. The
structure of literacy lessons, has been reorganised, so teachers can fit in the new SPaG
and spellings.
Audits are now being done, with a focus on the foundation subjects, with a view to
updating some of these for September. Curriculum maps for the school website have been
updated and now reflect the curriculum changes.
We are currently looking into new assessment formats, as the use of levels will be phased
out, in line with the new assessment criteria. We are aiming to begin our new assessment
formats in September.
Community Links by Wayne Leeming and Jenny Cox

Melcombe continues to have a variety of secure community links with local businesses.
Year 3 children gain immense pleasure as well as acquiring a wide range of skills from
the weekly sessions with Albert and Friends.
Children in year 1&2 have benefitted from having dedicated reading partners from CAA.
When the Harper Collins volunteers left at Christmas the children helped Julie Frost
organised a special tea party to say a BIG Thank you for all of the help and books they
have donated over the 12 years they have been associated with us.
Beanstalk readers continue to support children in years 2 & 5 with their reading as well
as helping with other social aspects of school life.
Ancestry.co.uk continue to supplement the funding for breakfast club and came to visit
the children to talk to them and see how they appreciated the games/resources that they
had provided.
Jake Taylor has developed a link with Waitrose in Fulham Palace Road and they have
donated bread rolls etc for various social events.
We have developed very close links with Bute House
In January 2015 they gave us a set of 30 laptops (about a year or two old) as ours were
finished and we were looking to buy a new set.
They have sent their specialist Music teacher to help with our Year 6 choir. He comes
down for a 30-minute session every week and works with our staff.
The other two things are in the pipe-line and we haven't acted upon them yet but we do
have plans to use their laboratory for Science and we have plans to set up inter-school
sports.
Pg 21
Attendance by Carol Campbell

Attendance for Spring term is 95.3% including Nursery.
Authorised absences these have been due mostly to illness, for example, vomiting,
diarrhoea, with high temperatures.
There was a higher percentage of absence for the following classes:
2R - includes high levels of sickness bug going round; funeral of close family member
abroad; official appointments abroad where children need to attend (we have documents
to support these absences). One child with poor attendance has since been relocated out
of Hammersmith and has changed school.
3M - includes a pupil who remained abroad for additional 7 days because a parent was ill
over Christmas period; illness for a pupil who has since been referred to Localities and a
pupil who has left the area and has changed school as a result.
5T - includes a child who had to attend a case abroad for parental rites; he had to be
present and was therefore absent for 2 weeks) and illness for two pupils, for which we
have medical proof.
Unauthorised absences
1F One child returned 5 days late to school after the holidays; a warning letter was
given. One pupil has been referred to Localities for support.
1E One child returned 5 days late to school; warning letter given. One pupil with 4 days
unauthorised return from holiday - warning given; will be fined next time.
4P One child referred to Localities re: lateness and lack of communication with the
school
4C One child with sick parent and as a consequence was unable to attend. She has now
left the school. Details of absence sent to new school to advise them of past history.
Finally, one child referred to Localities for support as lateness and absence is persistent.
At a termly Attendance Meeting with myself, Jenny Cox, Emma, the School Nurse and
Phoebe, our Attendance Officer, we discussed strategies for support that we could use
with specific pupils with poor attendance and frequent lateness; alongside Mike Saunders
from Localities, which made it easier for us to join up the type of support needed needed,
ie, Medical, Special Needs, or Localities.
As a result of lateness and attendance issues, I have met and agreed targets with nine
parents regarding attendance and/or punctuality and as a result have referred four to
Emma, the School Nurse and two to Localities for Family Support. All targets set with
parents will be reviewed at meetings with them mid way through Summer 1 Term.
Pg 22
Teaching and Learning

Teaching & Learning by Alison Bridges
In the first half of this school year, teachers have had formal observations by SLT and
informal observations by middle leaders. The outcome of these observations has been
very positive, with the teaching and learning, in all classes, being considered good or
outstanding. The teaching and learning leader and phase leaders, are providing support
and modeling good practice for new teachers, to ensure their teaching is of a high
standard and in line with the Melcombe model.
The SLT have also monitored literacy, maths, science and topic books, again giving an
overall positive picture of teaching and learning at Melcombe.
In literacy, there was clear evidence of skills being taught and of children applying skills in
their weekly extended writing tasks. Written work has been moderated by all teaching staff,
so that judgements being made are consistent.
In maths, there was also clear evidence of skills being taught and applied and of children
progressing across year groups.
In science, teachers are now delivery the new units, in line with the new national
curriculum and the standard of work is generally good, with children having lots of
opportunities to do investigations and practise SC1 skills.
The topic books show that teachers are also now delivering the new history and
geography units and children are gaining lots of historical and geographical knowledge,
but there now needs to be an emphasis on the application of the knowledge. Any concerns
that were raised in the book monitoring have been addressed in staff meetings.
Going forward, SLT will be doing joint monitoring with our SIP (School Improvement
Partner), to ensure consistency in the monitoring of lessons. Teachers will continue to get
feedback on book looks and observations, in order to maintain a high level of teaching and
learning at Melcombe.
Continued Professional Development by Wayne Leeming
In January all staff had an INSET day. The teaching staff were introduced to software to
compliment their teaching of EAL children and the support staff received their annual Level
2 Safeguarding training from Hilary Shaw. A further twenty five members of staff went on
courses outside the school during the Spring term. These ranged from the Admin Staff
going on Advanced SIMs reporting through to the EAL leaders conference.
Middle Leader Programme by Fiona Tyler
Middle leaders have continued to work energetically and positively within their curriculum
areas and are now in the process of auditing this years teaching of the areas with the
support of Natasha Myrtil and Alison Bridges.
Release for middle leaders has continued this term but is in the process of changing. The
changes that are being implemented are:
Pg 23
Giving certain middle leaders extra time to implement new planning and programs of
study - in summer 1 that will be Jemma Elson for music and Liberty Allen for RE.
Releasing middle leaders in order to prepare good quality staff meetings
Releasing middle leaders to meet with Natasha and Alison in order to audit their subject
areas.
The tracking system as proved quite beneficial as I am able to analyse what middle
leaders are doing in their time and ensuring that the time is managed well. As of the
summer term 1 will be changing release time as middle leaders will need to request time (if
not allocated a slot) via emailing myself and stating what they need the time for.
Literacy, Science and Topic book looks have taken place to ensure the consistency of
marking and assessment is still in place as well as ensuring new topics have been covered
appropriately and to a high standard. This has proved to be as positive as ever.
Middle leaders will be given the opportunity to observe their subject area in the opposite
phase year in summer 2. Again I will be collecting evidence from these to ensure that good
practice is being observed and positive comments are being fed back to the teachers.
Pupil Premium by Roz Hemingway
In January, Chris Pim, an independent consultant, delivered INSET for all teachers
to demonstrate useful ICT materials available to support learning with view to
purchase. Teachers submitted a wish list and all items have been purchased and
are in use to support learning in classrooms.
Analysis of test results show that, on average in KS1, 82% of children are online to
reach their targets in reading, writing and numeracy of which 41% have already
reached or exceeded their targets. In KS2, 65% of children are online to reach their
targets in reading, writing and numeracy of which 19% have already reached or
exceeded their targets. Spring 2 test results will be analysed and support will be
adjusted to ensure pupil premium children are supported as much as possible.
Early Years Foundation Stage by Wendy Dormer
Continued promotion of hands on active learning has been a key focus within both the
Reception classes and Nursery over the last term. Reception have been visited by both
the local Fire Engine and Police horses where children are learning as part of a
community. Children in the Nursery have engaged in drama events, cooking sessions in
the Childrens Centre and the continuation of Forest Schools. Nursery have also planted
potatoes as part of a national competition!
Currently the Nursery has 4 part time places, which have been accepted by children of
siblings to begin in April 2015. We are also about to see the implementation of Nursery
pupil premium, which we are hoping will generate sufficient funds to focus on language
and communication development for our children. This continues to be an area of
significant need and generally children who require a referral to speech and language are
those children who have not attended a Childrens Centre.
Both year groups have hosted teaching students who have all contributed to the focused
learning of our children. The term has been incredibly busy and fast paced but we are all
Pg 24
proud of our children who are eager to learn and enthusiastic towards all the challenges
we give them.
PSHE by Carol Campbell
The Values Education is now outdated and we are currently exploring a better PSHE
scheme of work which will come in to effect from September 2015.
In line with curriculum changes, Wayne and I have been discussing the various ways in
which Values education needs to be changed and to this end I have been exploring
different ways of interpreting Government guidelines about SMSC Spiritual, Moral Social
Cultural - education, including interweaving it into the fabric of our new curriculum. Watch
this space!
SEN by Jenny Cox
At present we have 13 children with statements of special educational needs and over 100
children identified with special educational needs. Most of these children have issues with
accessing the curriculum at the appropriate level so rely on an adult to give them access to
the work.
In future times this will become more of a problem as it seems that it will be considerably
harder to obtain an Education Healthcare Plan than it was to get a Statement of Special
Educational Needs.
Our current EP Carmel Brady is starting her maternity leave and Rebecca Blamire is
taking her place. We continue to have a high need for speech and language therapy and
have been lucky to have Laura and Jess to create and model programmes for our children.
Student Voice
Eco Warriors by Jenny Cox
During Waste Week- 2-6th March Eco Warriors set themselves a challenge which was to
save energy in school. The Eco Warriors were to be the light monitors and their job was to
turn off lights when they left the classroom or when the light outside was bright enough
that lights were not needed. Some success was achieved but we will continue to work on
this.
During this week the Eco Warriors and Year 6R learnt to make paper from recycled
shredded paper. The sessions were run by Hannah from the Urban Studies Centre. Look
at the photos on the website to see how much pleasure the children received from
participating in this activity.
On 24th March John, our school gardener, and I are meeting Julie Henley Wilkinson who
is the Schools & Community Engagement Officer from Food Growing Schools London, a
subsidiary of Garden Organic. She is interested in looking at our designated growing areas
and the ways in which children are involved in researching, planting and maintaining
simple edible plants.
Enterprisers by Robyn Pearce
Pg 25
The Enterprise Committee launched the Stationary Shop, a Pupils Profit initiative, at
Melcombe Primary in November of last year. This project has since been running every
mid-term, and has now become a much anticipated event at the school.
The Enterprise Committee children work as a team, working in various departments and
taking on job roles such as Director, Stock Control Manager, Sales Manager and Finance
Manager. They have learnt valuable business skills as a result of their various duties in
which they establish prices for products; complete regular stock takes and maintain stock
control records on spreadsheets.
Fairtraders by Gwen Cummins
For Fairtrade week this year I set a fairtrade-themed research project, where each child
was able to explain why we take part in fairtrade. This was very popular and we had a
large number of children taking part. We also held a fairtrade cake (bake off) sale which
was very succsessful, and rasied 86.00. Along side these activities, we also arranged a
fairtrade food collection, which was then taken to the H&F food bank for the vunerable
people in the local area.
International Ambassadors by Wayne Leeming
The International Ambassadors have been working with Ms Campbell, the Rights
Recspectors and the Global Ambassadors, on a project called the Team London Young
Ambassador programme, funded by the Mayor of London, which aims to educate children
to volunteer and make a difference to their local and wider community.
We have also begun working with James Adams the Schools Manager from Just Enough
UK. They are working within parliament on the new Modern Slavery Bill. They work in
partnership with the NSPCC, Barnardos and the Met Police. The Year 5 and 6 children will
be taking part in workshops about modern slavery called Show and Tell
We have also indicated that we will become an Ambassador primary school for our area.
This means the school supports the fight against Modern day slavery and we will have the
opportunity to host visitors from parliament, press or celebrity guests whenever they would
like to see the "Show and Tell" take place in a school.
Junior Road Safety Officers by Kim Murray
During Spring we have organised the Big Pedal Competition which encourages children,
staff and parents to ride their bikes or scooters to school. We did well but not as well as in
previous years. We are also about to begin Walk to School Wednesdays where children
receive badges if they walk to school on a Wednesday.
Mediators by Jacqueline Parram
Mediators continue to support the prefects and work in the playground ensuring that
children get along. The mediators have met with me and we did training around How to be
a good mediator.
Prefects by Carol Campbell
Pg 26
Prefects have been involved in promoting positive behaviour and democracy within school.
At our regular meetings, various aspects of being a Prefect are discussed. For example
the poor behaviour choices of a Prefect were discussed as a group and I asked them to
decide what should happen as a result. After some debate, it was suggested that they
should lose their badge, this was then thought too harsh and at the end of the meeting,
they decided with a vote, that if a Prefect was to be in Reflection twice in a term, he or she
would then lose their right to be a Prefect and would have to hand in their badge. Also
discussed were duties and timetable issues, which were easily solved between the group
of 18 Prefects.
Rights Respectors by Carol Campbell
Rights Respecting pupils from Year Six joined with other Year Six Committee Members to
take part in the inspirational We Day at Wembley Arena, funded by the Mayor of London.
During the day they heard from speakers, such as Malala, the Pakistani girls education
activist, about the importance of education throughout the world, Richard Branson and
many other speakers. As a result, the Year Six Pupils wrote and presented an assembly to
Key Stage 2 pupils to raise awareness about both local and global issues that children can
be involved in, with the powerful message that children can and do change injustices in
the world.
Healthy Schools (Main School) by Wayne Leeming
The Healthy school programme is a long term National initiative, helping young people and
schools to be healthy. The healthy schools programme involves the whole school
community i.e. pupils, parents, governors and school staff. Healthy Schools is a local
programme providing support, training, resources and guidance for all schools.
The aim of the Healthy schools programme is to deliver real benefits for children and
young people, specifically:
To support children and young people in developing healthy behaviours

To help raise the achievement of children and young people
To help reduce health inequalities
To help promote social inclusion
Melcombe is currently working towards the Silver award and this will be evaluated in July
this year.
Healthy Schools (EYFS) by Samina Kabir
Potato growing is well under way in the Nursery and potato watch has begun in earnest!
Last Saturday I went to the Edible Garden Show at Alexandra Palace with a fellow Early
Years colleague and we have returned with loads of inspiration and ideas on how to create
an exciting edible garden at Melcombe.
Fatooms Kitchen has been very successful and this is something that the pupils look
forward to each week. Forest School was under way again this term, giving new Nursery
pupils an opportunity to engage in a safe physical activity to support their physical and
emotional well being.
Pg 27
Forest School by Rhiannon Everson

Forest school has changed quiet a bit this year. Sessions have been running with the
Nursery, Year 1 and a mixed Year 1 and 2 group.
In Nursery we have focused on; communication, language and literacy, Personal, social
and emotional development and Physical developments, with the key themes being
Independence and self confidence. One session a week has been running down at the
forest school site.
For Year One the focus has been seasons. We have looked for signs of the seasons
changing and the reasons why. One session a week for both classes (3 weeks 1E, 3
weeks 1F).
The Year 1 / 2 group has been part of Melcombe University with the focus on teamwork
and tool skills. The children have had a range of activities from working independently with
tools and supporting each other to be safe with tools.
We have continued to use the same timetable for the forest school sessions off site.
The main ethos has continued throughout the sessions by ensuring all adults use positive
reinforcement and by giving the children responsibilities and independence.
From taking the year ones (the original group going to forest school last year) I can see a
massive improvement in their willingness to try new things, independence, confidence in
being out and about and their understanding of how to stay safe.
I am looking forward to continuing forest school next year in Early Years and Key Stage
One.
Sports Premium by Jake Taylor
What is the Sports Premium?
The Government is providing funding of 150 million per annum for academic years
2013/14 and 2014/15 to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding. This
funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture,
Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school headteachers to
spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children.
The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.
Purpose of funding
Schools will have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport,
but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.
Possible uses for the funding include:
hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work alongside primary
teachers when teaching PE
new or additional Change4Life sport clubs
Pg 28
paying for professional development opportunities in PE/sport

providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE/sport
running sport competitions, or increasing participation in the school games
buying quality assured professional development modules or materials for PE/sport
providing places for pupils on after school sport clubs and holiday clubs.
How will we be spending the Sports Funding and who will benefit?
The Governors agree that the money must be used so that: all children benefit regardless
of sporting ability; that the most able children are given the opportunity to compete in
advanced tournaments; that staff have access to training opportunities and continued
professional development.
How much money did Melcombe receive?
In the financial year 2013/2014 the school received 5704.00
In the financial year 2014/2015 the school received 3601 and 5454 totalling9055
This money wasring fenced to give us a current total of 14 759.00
Below we show how we intend to spend the sports funding during 2014-2015:
Providing places for pupils for after school sport club
Our school already offers a range of after-school clubs, accessed by children from Key
Stages one and two at a cost.As of March 2015, the sport premium has seen sports clubs
subsidises in order for less advantaged students to be able to take part. This has been
beneficial for students and parents as it provides quality sports coaching to those who
dont often get the opportunity. This will continue to run into the Summer Term. This
iscosting the school 700 per term.
Increasing participation in school sport
Sports Premium will also cover the cost of Sports Week, which will see a range of sport
coaches teach the students a range of different sports. We have budgeted 3000 for this
and the idea is to introduce the children to sports which they are unlikely to encounter
such as fencing, archery, tennis, street golf etc. Reception and KS1 classes will have a
group come in to offer them Multi Sports.
We have also enquired about booking the Linford Christie sport centre to host the sports
day for KS2. The idea is to smarten up the school sports day for KS2 and give them use of
proper and professional facilities. We have budgeted 5000 for this and this includes the
use of the stadium, hiring in a professional group to run the sports day and transport to get
KS2 to the stadium.
Development of the Teaching Staff
The school is investing in a scheme of work for PE which will cost 2000. This will help the
teaching staff deliver better PE sessions in that it will ensure thatthere is consistency of
practice across the school and that there is a clear progression of skills.
The school has also set aside 2000 to pay for professional coaches to help develop the
staff by working alongside teachers and giving INSET when appropriate.
Pg 29
BUDGET
Sports Week - 3000
Scheme of Work - 2000
Children at clubs - 2000
Sports Day - 5000 (transport 2k, hire 1k, Company 2k)
INSET - 2000
Melcombe Childrens Centre by Wendy Dormer

This term has seen us fully staffed again with our new Deputy in place. Carole has been
proactively working on our links with children with disabilities, child-minders and settings in
the private and voluntary sector. These engagements have already seen a steady
increase in our contacts and beneficially assisted us in driving forward with our Service
level agreements and Ofsted requirements.
We have finally surpassed our target of 90% reach area coverage, which now stands at
92%. Since January we have seen 37% of our reach area children and 69% over the last
year. 68% of these have been target group children for the quarter and 64% for the year.
In the last year 68% of our registered families have attended at least 3 events.
February saw us all working very hard to promote Vitamin D with our Health partners and
as part of the Vitamin distribution campaign we won the most inventive promotion in the
local authority. Melcombe held the celebration event and were presented with an
impressive trophy and 100.00 voucher.
Family support cases continue to increase with more people coming to us for help with
Education, Health Care plans where there is a child with a disability. There has also been
an increase in families needing support for poverty and homelessness.
As always the team work continue to work incredibly hard engaging with both clients and
partners. Our new Service Level Agreement is currently being reviewed by commissioning
and we are proud to be part of a Local Authority who believes in the importance of the
work we do with children under 5.
Safeguarding by Jenny Cox

Safeguarding continues to be high priority. At present the Learning mentor is managing
most of the classified cases and Wayne and myself are the named contacts for the MASHmulti agency safeguarding hub. MASH deal with referrals from the police or agencies like
the NSPCC.
Teaching staff have recently received Mental Health training through two extended staff
meetings. The aim was to raise staff awareness of issues such as the attachment between
the key parent and the child and how insecure attachments can impact on the behaviour of
the child.
Michelle Journet has completed her training as an ELSA which is an emotional literacy
support assistant. This is a position recommended by Ofsted and is meant to offer short
term help for identified children.
Pg 30
School Strengths & Areas to Develop

Strengths of the School
1
The Teaching & Learning Model

This is the systematic way in which all lessons are taught at Melcombe. This
model ensures all children are able to access the learning, understand the value
of what they are learning and know what they need to do to be successful.
Literacy Planning and Toolkits

These are the systematic, differentiated and progressive planning for Literacy
and the teaching aids which are used to support the teaching of Literacy from
Nursery through to Year 6.
Behaviour Management in class

This is the system used across the school to deal with minor behaviour issues
within the class during teaching time.
KS2 Results
These are the end of school results by the Year 6s and include Speaking &
Listening, Reading, Writing, Mathematics and Science. They are measured
against targets set by the school, previous years results and nationally.
Trips and First Hand Experiences

The staff take the children out on various trips and invite guests in to the school
to initiate learning and create excitement around the topic.
Progress of children across the school

Tracking the results of the children across the school, particularly at the end of
EYFS, KS1 and KS2, and comparing them to the aspirational targets set at the
beginning of each year indicates that most children make good progress.
Monitoring
This is the system whereby the senior leaders observe staff teaching and staff

has spent the last two years successfully tackling attendance, punctuality remains
a problem
