St. Anne’s C.E Lydgate Primary School
Prospectus 2012/13
Headteacher Jane Fraser
Welcome
Welcome to St. Anne’s CE Lydgate Primary school. We hope that this booklet provides you with key
information about our school and learning community. All our staff and Governors are deeply
committed to providing children with the best possible all round education, within a caring and secure
Christian community. We endeavour to develop a love of learning, that enables each individual child
to reach their full potential. We strongly believe that a partnership of trust and shared responsibility
between school and home is vital; our school motto is “Learning Together in God’s World.” Parents
and carers are crucially important to the success of our work, as research shows how vital the role of a
parent/carer is in supporting their children to make excellent progress throughout their school life.
Introduction
St Anne’s Lydgate C.E. School is a one form entry church school and takes children from 4-11years.
We hold an Open Day every year to give parents the opportunity to visit our school and we hope that
you will take this opportunity to come and meet us and get a feel for the school and the excellent
learning that takes place here. The on site Community Bungalow/Phase 3 Children’s Centre also
provides extra teaching space for music, art, Design Technology, Cookery, School Council Meetings,
Eco –Committee meetings and many more school based and community based activities. This is a
super resource that can be accessed by children, staff, parents, cluster schools, extended school’s
providers and the wider community.
The school has strong links with the church, attending special services at St Anne’s Church for Harvest
Festival, Easter, and a carol service in December. We also have regular visits by Father Christopher
who joins in with our collective and supports RE learning in class. Celebration and Class assemblies
are held every Friday afternoon in school. Parents, carers, and young children are more than welcome
to join us to celebrate all the children`s successes both academically and on a personal level.

Communication
St Anne's is a caring school where we want each child to
experience the security of being a valued member of our
Christian community. We encourage parents to take an
active part in their child's education at the school. This
involves regular communication with all staff, through
informal discussion, regular parent’s evenings and written
reports on your child’s progress and well-being. If you are
concerned about any aspect of your child’s development we
encourage you to discuss this in confidence with us.
Targets
At St Anne’s all the children have a target for Reading,
Writing and Maths which helps them to make progress
throughout the year. A discussion once per term enables the
child and teacher to discuss the child’s strengths and
establish the next steps in their learning journey. All of this
information is then shared with parents on a regular basis to
enable parents to support their child at home. We seek to
work in partnership with you to help your child achieve their
very best.
Child Protection
Our Child Protection Policy is in accordance with L.A.
guidelines and the safeguarding of all the children in our
care is of paramount importance. All parents and carers
need to be aware therefore that when there is a safeguarding
issue, the school is required to report the matter to Social
Services. In such situations, it is likely that a social worker,
not the school, may contact the parents/carers. This
procedure is common to all maintained schools throughout
Oldham.
Behaviour Management
We expect high standards of good behaviour at St Anne's CE
Lydgate as we consider this to be essential for children to
gain maximum benefit from their learning to reach their full
potential. Our Behaviour Policy aims to treat pupils in a
positive way. Pupils are rewarded for following our
“Golden Values” and for “making the right choice”. We ask
parents to support the school where matters of discipline
arise, both negative and positive. Praise for good work and a
positive attitude from both school and parents can go a long
way. A copy of the full Behaviour Policy is available for
parents from the school office.
Homework
We greatly value the role that parents take in their child’s
learning and all pupils are encouraged to practice reading,
learn spellings and revise tables at home. The majority of
learning takes place through our Virtual Learning
Environment (VLE) so that children can complete activities
and practise skills on line. Sometimes pupils may be asked to
finish off a piece of work or to research aspects of learning
at home. Parents' support, especially listening to their child
read, is recognised as being of great value to the pupils'
progress and development. The school will hold a meeting
before the end of each year, explaining the following year`s
routines and expectations.
Parent Teachers Association (P.T.A.)
The school has a very active Parent Teacher Association,
which arranges social events and raises money for the
benefit of the children. The Association is always looking
for new parents to join in and help at functions. Functions
are always well attended and are fun for all the family.
Without the support of this Association the children at St
Anne's would not have benefited from some of the excellent
resources within the school, for example, the Reception
covered area, a cooker, new tables for classrooms and books
and shelves for the Infant and Junior Libraries, Smart Boards
for the classroom, digital cameras, a Trim Trail and much
more. Information on the PTA board in school will give
parents additional information about forth coming events.
Extra Curricular Activities
At St Anne’s we provide a range of extra curricular activities
both after school and during lunchtime catering for all ages.
A selection on offer throughout the year include: - football,
French, choir, netball, rounders, cricket, cookery, gardening,
recorders, choir, heart start, rhythm and rhyme, multi-sports,
street dance, power walking and art club. These clubs
change regularly to take best advantage of the seasons. .
Year 5 & 6 also have the opportunity to attend a residential
activity trip during the summer term.

At St. Anne’s CE Lydgate, our creative curriculum reflects the interests of the children in order to make learning interactive
and exciting. The curriculum is based upon developing key skills that children will need to take them through life, as well
as developing knowledge within different subject areas.
The key skills are: 
Communication

Application of Number,

Information Communication Technology,

Working with Others

Improving own Learning and Performance

Problem Solving.
When children begin in Reception their curriculum will still be within the Early Years Foundation Stage that they will have
begun in their pre-school setting. This curriculum will give your child a hands on, exciting and a sound foundation for when
they begin the National Curriculum at 5.
Within all subjects of the curriculum we place emphasis on children having ‘first hand experience’. We pride ourselves in
a thorough learning of the basic skills in the three core subjects.
We have a set of non-negotiables for each year group in Literacy, Numeracy, ICT and collaborative working and the
foundation subjects are taught through topic themes that inspire the children. A focus on the application of the Key skills
within a creative framework is the cornerstone for all learning at St. Anne’s Lydgate.
Writing
Children are encouraged to write freely from an early age and will be given the opportunity to apply their writing skills
throughout the curriculum. This gives them confidence to work independently and more importantly, confidently as a
writer. Children will also have regular access to ICT equipment to facilitate the presentation of writing. ICT is an integral
part of Literacy, using Web based resources, CD Rom, disk, books and word processing. Teachers use interactive smart
boards in their teaching, which engages children’s interest and provides a rich variety of learning experiences. We believe
that effective writing comes from children talking and sharing their first hand experiences, planning and redrafting their
work and then creating a piece of written work they are proud of and which is well presented.
Numeracy
Learning in numeracy aims to provide opportunities for children to try out ideas and solve problems through practical
numeracy lessons, activities and games. ICT is also an integral part of mathematics in school. Children will use
mathematics CD Rom’s on the computers to solve calculations, problems, games and puzzles. They will also learn
important mathematical skills through the use of other technology, such as the Roamer Robot to help in lessons on shape,
angles and estimation.

Science
Children are given lots of opportunities to investigate, observe, predict, record and conclude. Huge emphasis is placed upon
the links of science to every day life and staff use the surrounding environment as a rich resource with a focus on the need
for respect and safety. Children are then given the opportunity to apply their Literacy and mathematical skills to record and
present their findings.
History and Geography
History and Geography are studied through themed topic work and the children are directly involved in planning for these
topics and identifying what they would like to find out. Children have the opportunity to develop historical and geographic
skills, using a range of resources. First hand experience is gained through the field studies and environmental visits planned
for and our local and geographical context is used to enhance learning.
Physical Education
Children are involved in a wide range of activities in this area including games, dance, gymnastics and swimming. We have
an experienced Sports Development Officer who works with both pupils and teachers to extend their skills, knowledge and
activity. We also have 12 Pupil Sports Leaders from KS2 who ably lead a variety of activities during lunchtimes, to keep
pupils active and develop their skills further. For the last three years we are proud to have been awarded the “Active mark”
for outstanding achievement in keeping our pupils active and healthy.
Art & Design & Technology (D & T)
The children are encouraged to work with a wide range of media. They are taught how to use tools properly and safely.
Children are able to express themselves through 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional work as well as being able to develop a
personal style of aesthetic appreciation. Throughout the academic year we celebrate different cultural days. This gives the
children the opportunity to express their learning through art and design and this work is displayed to share with our
community.
Information Communication Technology (I.C.T.)
We have a range of ICT equipment which is used in the classroom at the point of learning. Children are given the
opportunity to use I.C.T. in the following 5 strands – communication, handling, control, monitor, and modelling. The school
is networked with ISDN2 Internet access and we have an I.C.T. Technician to support the curriculum. We have netbooks,
iPods, iPads and handheld video cameras to extend the children’s ICT learning. It is our priority to continually update ICT
throughout the school.
Religious Education
As a Church of England School, children are given the opportunity to explore the cultures, traditions and beliefs of the
Christian community but are also involved in a variety of activities where other religions and cultures can be studied. In our
multi-cultural society, we aim to nurture a respect for all people’s beliefs so that differences and similarities are identified
and celebrated. The church provides a rich resource for learning and the children have the opportunity to undertake
activities led by the congregation linked to the true meaning of Harvest, Easter, Pentecost and Christmas.

Collective Worship
The children take part in an act of worship each day and our collective worship programmes follow and support our Golden
Values. Religious traditions, stories and celebrations are taught in an interactive and fun way and the children’s strengths and
achievements are also recognised in this special time together. Children are now beginning to plan and lead our worship
themselves and deliver exciting assemblies which engage their peers. Parents have the right to withdraw their child from RE
and assembly. Requests need to be directed to the Headteacher and arrangements will be made.
Sex Education
The school has adopted a scheme for teaching sex education. The scheme was devised by a local primary school and has been
adopted by a number of Oldham schools. Before its implementation into school, staff, governors and parents were consulted.
It deals with sex education within a family and religious framework, but also complements our science curriculum. Children
are encouraged to do some of the work with parents for homework. Parents have the right to withdraw their children from sex
education lessons except those elements taught as part of National Curriculum Science but in our experience, children benefit
more from hearing the “taught” version in the classroom than by hearing important information second hand in the
playground. When this is requested arrangements will be made. Requests need to be directed through the Headteacher. In
year 5 & 6, children learn about the onset of puberty. Girls and boys are taught separately for this. We invite the school nurse
to support school and parents to deliver this. Please feel free to come into school to discuss any worries you may have about
this area of the curriculum.
Special Educational Needs
Many children have additional needs at some stage in their school career. We endeavour to meet these needs by using a
differentiated curriculum and a variety of teaching strategies. If we are at all concerned about your child, we will consult you
immediately and together decide on the best possible approach. If you are concerned, please feel free to inform us. There is a
designated member of staff who is responsible for the coordination of this area. This person is given some non-contact time to
fulfil this role and will liaise with external agencies for extra support on individual needs.
Pupils are first identified as requiring School Action (SA). If concerns continue they then become eligible for School Action
Plus (SAP) where Individual Education Plans are developed.
As part of improving our provision for pupils with Additional Educational Needs, the school has adopted “Provision
Mapping” where it can be clearly identified what provision is in place within each classroom to meet the needs of pupils.
The school can apply for additional funding for pupils requiring School Action Plus or a statement. Reviews now take place
twice a year as recommended by the legislation but can be more frequent if it is deemed necessary. Within our Inclusion
policy, we have a graduated response to meeting needs of pupils and also prioritise these needs throughout school. Provision
within school is carefully planned and re-organised termly to meet the needs of our pupils.
Gifted and Talented
A programme for identifying and supporting gifted and talented pupils is in place, and provision within and outside of school
is extensive.
The school has a governor with a lead responsibility for Additional Educational Needs provision. Regular liaison meetings
take place to give the governor an overview of AEN provision in the school and to look at how needs and targets are being
met. Individual pupils are not discussed.
The Inclusion Policy and More Able, Gifted and Talented Policy can be obtained from the school office.

Assessment
Assessment plays an important part in every learning opportunity. Teachers work hard to plan interesting and appropriate
lessons across the curriculum. Daily assessment of children’s understanding helps to inform future planning and supports the
children to make good progress in every lesson.
Numerical target setting is in place in reading, writing and numeracy. This enables the teacher to keep track of pupil’s
progress and match provision to need. Children are involved in both self and peer assessment and assessment for learning
techniques are well embedded into so that children are clear about how to improve their work.
Assertive mentoring forms the basis of assessing the child’s strengths and next steps in learning.
Parents are informed of their child’s progress through parent’s evening, informal chats, target setting and a formal written
report at the end of the year.

Health and Safety
Everyone`s safety is of paramount importance and we provide a safe environment for children and staff. It is the
responsibility of all those who work at St. Anne’s CE Lydgate to report any causes for concern. Risk assessments are also
carried out by the Headteacher, Staff and Governors, Oldham MBC and the Fire Service.
We have regular fire drills and clearly marked exits. In the interest of security, anyone wishing to visit the school between
8:50 am and 5:30 pm, must enter via the front entrance and report to the school office and sign in.
All staff are qualified First Aiders who can deal initially with any problems. All accidents are recorded and where
appropriate, parents informed. This is particularly important with bumped heads.
Use of Children’s Images
The school has a policy for the use of children’s images. This concerns photographs, videos, taken for school use and images
taken by parents or carers, for example, a video of the nativity at Christmas. A copy is available in school on request. All
parents/carers are asked to sign a consent form when their child starts school.
Parental Help
We welcome parental help. Any help or skills parents can offer are an asset to our school. Past and present examples include
reading support, cookery, sport and music. If you can offer any assistance in any way then do not hesitate to contact the school
and the School Business Manager will then carry out all the necessary safe-guarding checks.
School Council
Pupil voice is very important and all children are given opportunities to share their ideas and opinions regarding school
improvement. The school council is made up of several pupils who are actively involved in many projects which include
designing the school logo, working with the sports leaders and designing the playground trim trail. They have also helped to
produce our Christian values and develop our Mission Statement and anti-bullying policy. Additionally, the school council has
worked alongside the kitchen staff to help revise the school dinner menu to further reinforce our Healthy Eating Policy. Our
School Council also join other local schools to form a Super Cluster Council. They work together to improve our local
environment and community. Our Eco-Council work within the school to ensure that we are eco-friendly. We are currently
working towards our Silver Award.

School uniform is supplied by Saddleworth Sports, Chew Valley Road, Greenfield. All items of uniform should be clearly
labelled with your child’s name. The Governors of St Anne's School have a policy of school uniform. Pupils are expected
to wear the uniform and sensible school shoes rather than trainers. This ensures everyone looks smart and presentable. We
expect pupils to adhere to the no jewellery policy and no extreme hairstyles policy. These policies have been considered
very carefully and are aimed at raising standards and making your child's environment the safest it can be.
Helping School
School collects tokens, which can be converted into various resources for the school e.g. Sports for School, Computers for
School.
Charging Policy

Health & Welfare
Illness in school:
If your child is taken ill during school time, the school will endeavor to contact his or her parents via the emergency telephone
numbers held in the school files. Please make sure we have an up-to-date number. If we cannot make contact then your child will be
made as comfortable as possible in school. In the case of serious injury/illness, the emergency services will be contacted
immediately. It is school policy not to administer medicines. If your child needs medicine during the school day, you are welcome
to come to school to administer it personally.
Illness at home:
If your child were unable to attend school, it is expected that a parent would telephone the school to notify us. This request is made
to allow us to ensure that children who have been sent to school arrive safely. If we do not receive a call, the office will contact you.
Routine medical and other checks:
During the period of time your child is at school, the Local Authority arranges a variety of medical checks. If you do not wish these
checks to be administered to your child, will you please contact the school in writing. If your child needs to attend a clinic during
school hours, it is expected that your child will be picked up by an adult and signed out and back in on their return.
Health Issues
We have a Care Plan system in school using medical profiles. All of the data regarding medical conditions, allergies, additional
need or dietary requirement is held centrally in the office and is accessible to all adults in school who have contact with children.
This information comes in two forms: description of the condition or allergy and what action is required. We rely on parents to
inform us of any medical information and updates throughout the year.
We place a strong emphasis on promoting a healthy environment for all members of the school community.
Healthy Eating
It is expected that all children will bring fruit or vegetables for their mid-morning snack. We are part of the National fruit scheme
so a variety of fruit is provided for all KS1 children each day.
Water
We have two cold water machines in school and all children should bring a water bottle to school each day. Children can fill their
bottle and drink from it throughout the school day. It is the parent’s responsibility to encourage their children to take their bottle
home so it can be cleaned thoroughly.
Health Week
We hold a health week each year usually in the summer term during which all children will participate in activities associated with
healthy choices and lifestyles.
