Remote Education Attendance is essential for pupils to get the most out of their school experience, including for their attainment, wellbeing, and wider life chances. There are, however, certain circumstances when it is not possible for a child to attend and it is in these circumstance where an offer of Remote Education can be made. Remote education should not be viewed as an equal alternative to attendance in school. For this reason schools may only consider it as a last resort when the alternative would be no education, and only after it has been established that the pupil is, or will be, absent from school. In such cases, remote education can have the benefit of allowing absent pupils to keep on track with their education and stay connected to their teachers and peers. The priority is always ATTENDANCE. Scenarios where remote attendance should be considered. Where schools have to close, or there are restrictions on attendance for pupils (i.e. during COVID) Providing remote education does not change the imperative to remain open or to reopen as soon as possible. Every effort will be made to ensure pupils can be taught in person by attending school or if appropriate and possible, attending a safe alternative site. After exploring all options to ensure the school remains open to all pupils, there may still be some exceptional occasions when school leaders or the local authority decide that it is not possible to open safely, or where opening would contradict guidance from local or central government. If restricting attendance for pupils is the only viable option, we will consider providing remote education to help pupils stay on track with the education they would normally receive. In individual cases where a child is unable to attend school but is able to learn. There should only be limited circumstances where a pupil is unable to attend school but is able and well enough to continue their education remotely. These circumstances should only involve a short-term absence and might include: pupils recovering from short-term infectious illnesses, pupils preparing for or recovering from some operations, or pupils recovering from injuries where attendance might inhibit recovery. In some exceptional cases, these circumstances might also include pupils whose attendance has been affected by a special educational need or disability (SEND) or a mental health issue. In these circumstances, and after the pupil’s absence from school has been established, we will consider providing pupils with remote education on a case-by-case basis. This will be part of a plan to reintegrate back to school, and only when it is judged that providing remote education would not adversely affect the pupil’s return to school. Provision of remote education is a short-term solution allowing absent pupils to keep on track with their education and stay connected to their teachers and peers. Pupils with long-term medical conditions or any other physical or mental health needs affecting attendance may require additional support to continue their education. At Captain Webb Primary School we refer our parents to the Oak National Academy website, as this provides high quality lessons that are meaningful, ambitious, and cover an appropriate range of subjects to enable pupils to keep on track with their education. We will work with the parent/s so they understand which elements of learning their child will need. We will provide additional support in cases of SEND, and work collaboratively with families to support the children/parents accessing the learning successfully. We will help to overcome barriers to digital access by loaning school owned devices, accompanied by a user agreement, if and where necessary and/or possible. The senior leader with overarching responsibility for the quality and delivery of remote education is Mrs Sarah Passey (Headteacher).

Parent's Forum At Captain Webb we appreciate and value open communication between our school and parents. The goal of our Parent Forum is to ensure that the views of all parents are heard. The aim is that parents can talk freely with their elected Forum representative and they will act as a voice to inform the school of the needs of our children and families. We feel that it is a perfect way to share ideas, views and concerns and to make suggestions for improvements. Our Parent Forum has four broad aims which are; · To work together to improve the learning and welfare provided for our children. · To work in partnership with the school to create a welcoming school which is inclusive for all parents and carers. · To share information, knowledge and skills. · To further improve communications between Parent/Carers and Staff/Governors. One parent will be elected for each class, through a democratic vote. The vote will take place every September when each class will ask their pupils parents/carers if there are any volunteers for the role. Where more than one volunteer puts themselves forward an anonymised vote will be held. The Forum will report to the Governing body annually on its activities on behalf of all parents. They will meet once every half term with Mrs Passey (Head) and Mr Harris (Parent Partnership Lead) to discuss any issues, ideas or opinions that have been raised. Minutes and dates for each meeting will be posted on the website (below) and on Classdojo. Your Forum Representatives are: Parent's Forum are also instrumental in helping the school raise money to support with projects and resources. In 2024 they helped organise the Summer Fayre which raised £1,231. This has been used to purchase playground games and resources to enhance break and dinner times for the children, as well as purchasing new books for the school library. We currently have some vacancies for the Parents Forum so if you would like to volunteer please contact Lynn in the school office or email (A2174@taw.org.uk) and your details will be passed on. Forum Meeting Minutes Meeting Minutes - The school has recently been re-awarded The Leading Parent Partnership Award for the work that we do in ensuring our parents needs are met, and views/opinions are not only requested, but taken into account in our everyday school life.

Early Help at Captain Webb At Captain Webb Primary we recognise the challenges that families face in bringing up children. Everyone needs help at some point in their lives and therefore an ethos of early help is important for any school. There maybe times when you need extra help, support or advice. If this is the case please come and talk to us, we are here to help. Children, young people and families develop resilience if there are protective factors in place such as: a positive relationship with an adult, good literacy and communication skills, good school attendance and parents in or actively seeking work. Children's needs are best met when help is offered in a universal setting within a socially mixed group and early on when problems start to emerge. Children and young people’s needs are best met when addressed in the context of the whole family, meaning that parents/carers and siblings needs are addressed, with consent, as part of a holistic and integrated early help response. Early help services should support and strengthen families, so that they can thrive. How can I access Early Help at captain Webb? Your class teacher is your first point of contact for any issues or concerns. Teachers are responsible for the well being of all the children in their class and will liaise and signpost to other staff members as required. Our early help assessment lead at Captain Webb Primary is Mrs Gemma Boden. Mrs Boden is contactable by email or phone. Email: gemma.boden@taw.org.uk or by calling the main school office on 01952 386 770. Heading 1

學校出勤率 宗旨和目標 韋伯船長小學的管理機構高度重視達到標準，並認為優秀的學生出勤率和準時性至關重要。為了讓孩子們發揮他們的潛力，學生必須具有高度的學習積極性，並熱衷於上學。定期、準時出勤將養成良好的習慣，支持他們終生。 為實現這一目標，州長和教職員工致力於與家長合作，確保學校全校出勤率最低達到 96%。 政府期望我們： • 促進良好的出勤率並減少缺勤，包括持續缺勤（低於 90%）； • 確保每個學生都能獲得他們應得的全日制教育； • 儘早採取行動解決缺勤模式。 韋伯船長小學正在與家長和地方當局合作，以提高入學率。 缺勤會擾亂個別學生和整個班級的教育。您是否知道不經常參加的兒童： 考試成績不好 發現很難維持友誼 更有可能捲入犯罪 錯過繼續教育和工作世界的機會。 您的孩子如何比較？ 在 2006 年教育（學生註冊）（英格蘭）條例規定的範圍內，只能由校長批准缺勤。除非情況特殊，否則校長不得在學期期間批准休假。 教育福利官 (EWO) - 海倫卡羅萊納 Attendance Policy School Opening Times The school gates open at 8:35am and classes start at 8:45am . Any child arriving after 8:45am will be marked as late. It is important to ensure your child in in school for the start of class as this is an important time to settle and prepare for the day ahead as well as receiving instructions and introductions into the first lesson. School finishes at 3:15pm . DfE - Working Together To Improve School Attendance Guidance (including changes to penalties for absence) From August 19th 2024 the Government have introduced a new ‘national framework for Penalty Notices’. (in Telford & Wrekin the changes apply from 1st September 2024). There are significant changes that parents need to be aware of: If your child has 10 sessions of unauthorised absence in a 10 school week rolling period, you may be issued with a Penalty Notice. These 10 sessions may include any unauthorised absence, including leave in term time and do not have to be consecutive. Penalty Notices are increasing to £160 from September 2024. This can be reduced to £80 but only for the first Penalty Notice issued, if paid within 21 days – this reduction does not apply to any subsequent Penalty Notice. Any 2nd Penalty Notice, to the same parent for the same child, issued within three years of the date of the first Penalty Notice will be charged at a flat rate of £160 A third Penalty Notice will not be issued within a three year rolling period, to the same parent for the unauthorised absence of the same child, - alternative action or legal measures will be utilised for subsequent offences. If in an individual case the local authority believes a Penalty Notice would be appropriate, they retain the discretion to issue one before the threshold is met. For example, when a parent purposefully tries to avoid a Penalty Notice by taking their child out of school when there is only four pupil days in school and the fifth day is for example a PD day or bank holiday attached to that week. In some circumstances a ‘Notice to Improve’ may be issued – However, a Notice to Improve will only be used in cases where support is appropriate. They will not be issued in cases of unauthorised leave in term time for holidays, where information for parents is included on school’s website or a simple warning by the school that a Penalty Notice could be issued if unauthorised leave in term time is taken will suffice. ‘Parents should always apply to the Headteacher for any request for leave in term time by completing a request form available from school. (DfE guidance states schools should not authorise leave retrospectively so any leave in term time taken without a request being submitted will be unauthorised absence)’. In developing and publishing the new national framework, the Government has renewed appeals to parents not to take their children out of school during term time. The Governors and Headteacher of this school support this and students will only be given permission to take leave in term time if there are exceptional circumstances. The DfE Guidance Working Together to Improve School Attendance (Aug 2024) states that: Generally, the DfE does not consider the need or desire for a holiday or other absence for the purpose of leisure and recreation to be an exceptional circumstance. (Paragraph 38.) Each application for leave in term time will be considered and if it is agreed and authorised the Headteacher will determine the duration of any leave. However, if the application is not agreed and the absence occurs the dates will be unauthorised. Parents will be notified of any decision in writing. This notification may be hand delivered directly to the parent or posted to the parents’ home address. As a school we are asked to inform you that in line with Telford and Wrekin Council Policy, if your child is absent for 10 school sessions within a 10 week rolling period and that absence is unauthorised, you may be subject to a Penalty Notice fine, criteria is as detailed above.

WRAP AROUND CARE 目前沒有課後俱樂部 The school runs a Breakfast Club every morning during term time. The cost is £2.50 per session. Although we do not currently request you book for Breakfast Club we do ask that you inform the school in advance, if you intend to start sending your child, so we can ensure the correct staffing ratios are in place. At Breakfast Club children are offered a breakfast of cereal, toast or crumpets, and have fruit juice, milk or water as drink options. The school does not charge for the breakfast, it is an added option for those children that have not eaten before attending, or who are still hungry. At Breakfast Club the children can play games, use the IT suite, read or do their homework. Breakfast Club starts at 7:30am and runs through to the start of school. The children are escorted from the club directly to their class. Your child can be dropped off anytime from 7:30 to class start time. After School Club The school runs an After School Club every day during term time, between the end of school and 6pm. Your child will be escorted straight to After School Club once the school day has ended. The cost per session is: £4.00 up to 4.15pm £5.50 up to 5pm £8.00 up to 6pm After School Club places must be booked in advance by completing the form below, and returning to Miss Mansell in the school office (or by email to jess.mansell@taw.org.uk ).

British Values At Captain Webb Primary School we actively take opportunities to teach British values and feel this is embedded through our weekly assemblies and interwoven in our enriching curriculum. We explore the 5 areas of British Values as part of our curriculum: Democracy Rule of law Individual liberty Mutual respect Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs Democracy: Children have the opportunity to have their voices heard through our School Council; the elections of the pupil council are based solely on pupil votes. Class rules are devised and agreed by every member of a class. Pupils are also given opportunities to put themselves forward for other responsibilities within the school. The children are also developed as leaders in different capacities. The Importance of Laws: The importance of laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the school, or the country, are consistently reinforced throughout regular school days, as well as when dealing with behaviour and through school assemblies. Our value based 6C system teaches our children the value and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken. Visits from authorities such as the Fire Service and the police are regular parts of our calendar and help to reinforce this message. Individual Liberty: Within school, children are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school we educate and provide boundaries for young pupils to make choices confidently and safely. Our children are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and are advised on how to exercise these safely. This is explored, for example, through our E-Safety curriculum and PSHE lessons. Throughout the academic year, our children are offered the opportunity to participate in numerous extra-curricular clubs, workshops and events which allow them to exercise their individual choice. Mutual Respect: Part of our whole school ethos and behaviour policy has revolved around the six core values of being Caring, Courageous, Cooperative, Calm, Creative and Committed. These are central to every aspect of the children’s learning and allow us to talk about how we learn, foster excellent behaviour and give the children lifelong skills. Our children follow these values in every aspect of school life and have previously been part of discussions and assemblies related to what these values mean and how they are shown. The whole school follows this values led education approach and parents are encouraged to reinforce the importance of the 6Cs at home. Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs: At Captain Webb, we value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of all pupils and families and, where possible, members of different faiths or religions are encouraged to share their knowledge to enhance learning within their classes and the whole school. Assemblies and discussions involving prejudices are followed up and supported by learning in RE and PSHE. Our RE and PSHE curriculum have designated topic areas to focus on and celebrate similarities and differences in other faiths and beliefs. Assemblies, theme weeks and workshops offer our children enriched experiences to deepen their understanding, tolerance and knowledge of our culturally diverse society. Assemblies: British values are central to our assemblies through the teaching of the 6Cs and through highlighting and commemorating key events past and present. These include Remembrance Day which teaches the children about the impact that the two World wars had on Britain and the role that Britain played. Children are also given the opportunity to purchase poppies and the whole school takes part in a minutes silence to show their respect for the thousands that lost their lives during these times. In recent years we have celebrated key British events such as the Olympic Games, the Royal wedding, and the Golden Jubilee through special assemblies and themed lessons. Throughout the school year, the children learn about and support different charities and take part in events such as Children in Need. We feel this is an integral part of the children understanding how they can be well-rounded citizens and help society. British Values in the Curriculum: British Values comes through our curriculum throughout the school. See our curriculum plans for more information. CURRICULUM SUBJECTS >

Spoken Language Reading and writing float on a sea of talk. James Britton What is Spoken Language? The national curriculum for English reflects the importance of spoken language in pupils’ development across the whole curriculum – cognitively, socially and linguistically. Spoken language underpins the development of reading and writing. The quality and variety of language that pupils hear and speak are vital for developing their vocabulary and grammar and their understanding for reading and writing. Curriculum Intent At Captain Webb Primary School, we value Spoken Language as an important part of the children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum. Spoken Language provides the children with the opportunities to develop and extend skills and an opportunity to express their individual interests, thoughts and ideas. Our aim is to enable the children improve their levels of spoken language so that all pupils are able to communicate effectively and confidently in front of any type of audience. These skills are encouraged in every area of our curriculum as good communication skills can enhance every type of learning. The children are encouraged to explore ideas through talk; challenge each other’s opinions and develop their own reasoned arguments, as well as talking in full sentences with a clear and confident voice. Pupils should be taught to: listen and respond appropriately to adults and their peers ask relevant questions to extend their understanding and build vocabulary and knowledge articulate and justify answers, arguments and opinions give well-structured descriptions and explanations maintain attention and participate actively in collaborative conversations, staying on topic and initiating and responding to comments use spoken language to develop understanding through speculating, hypothesising, imagining and exploring ideas speak audibly and fluently with an increasing command of Standard English participate in discussions, presentations, performances and debates gain, maintain and monitor the interest of the listener(s) consider and evaluate different viewpoints, attending to and building on the contributions of others select and use appropriate registers for effective communication. Spoken language: speaking, listening & responding Implementation The teaching and implementation of the Spoken Language curriculum is based on the Early Learning Goals and National Curriculum; it is supported by expectations from the Voice 21 framework, ensuring a well-structured approach. These skills are at the core of our curriculum and pupils are encouraged to listen and learn from sharing ideas with others. Staff at Captain Webb model the use of higher level vocabulary within their speech and expanding children’s vocabulary is a key focus in all years. Subject specific vocabulary is embedded across the curriculum, through teacher modelling, in context. Contextual learning helps children to understand new words and supports them in including new vocabulary in their work. This model is reflected in both shared and guided reading sessions, where children are given the chance to explore unfamiliar vocabulary and expand their knowledge of words. Talk partners are used extensively throughout the school, together with a range of planned learning opportunities that encourage pupils to explore language e.g. role play, drama activities, group discussion, hot seating. In KS2, pupils also take part in class debates. Drama is used across a range of subjects including History, problem solving in Mathematics, hot-seating during English lessons and Religious Education,. to explore and engage children in their learning. This gives children the chance to embed the use of specific vocabulary repetitively. At Christmas, EYFS and KS1 children perform their Christmas production to the school while LKS2 produce and lead a production of drama, jokes and songs at Easter. At the end of the academic year, the Year 6 children perform a tailored production to parents and carers. All pupils also perform to their parents once a year in their year group assembly. Daily poetry and rhyme and singing sessions are prioritised in EYFS and KS1. All year groups have a core set of poems that the pupils learn off by heart and perform in assemblies. Our pupils need lots of opportunities to speak and listen. This is especially true of pupils with special educational needs (SEND) and/or pupils with English as an additional language (EAL). Within every day teaching, we use a range of resources to support communication e.g. visuals made with Communication in Print, word banks, sentence stems, speaking frames. Some pupils take part in small group activities (Talk Boost) and some pupils receive additional support e.g. speech and language assistant or therapist. Impact Constructive formative feedback is provided to pupils regarding their spoken language and listening skills, not only to improve their knowledge and skills but also to establish secure foundations for effective spoken language at primary school right through to secondary education and beyond. Pupils at Captain Webb Primary School have a wide vocabulary and are confident speakers. They enjoy talking amongst peers and to adults in school and demonstrate excellent listening skills. Poetry Day - October 2024 Below are some video clips of our children reading out poems they wrote/covered on Poetry Day, working alongside the poet James Carver.

Intent At Captain Webb Primary School, our overarching principle about learning is: ‘Knowing more and Remembering more’. We have designed our curriculum so that more time is given to embed key knowledge, make connections and be ready for the next stage of a child’s learning journey. Through their growing knowledge and understanding, we aim to make all our children confident and competent mathematicians, who can make links in their maths learning to other areas of the curriculum. We aim to provide all pupils with a challenging mathematics curriculum and high-quality teaching to produce individuals who are numerate, creative, independent, inquisitive, enquiring and confident. We also aim to provide a stimulating environment and adequate resources so that pupils can develop their mathematical skills to the full. Through our well-planned maths learning journeys, we provide opportunities which cater for the needs of all individuals and empowers them with the necessary skills and knowledge to become successful in their future adventures. We incorporate sustained levels of challenge through varied and high-quality activities and ensure that children are on track at each stage of their education in fluency, reasoning and problem solving. Thus, in turn will prepare them for the next stage of their education and a successful working life. Implementation (Planning an inclusive curriculum). Our inclusive knowledge-based curriculum plans for success. Through small, well-sequenced steps (as outlined in our medium-term plans) new mathematical concepts are introduced using a ‘Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract’ approach. This enables all children to experience hands-on learning when discovering new mathematical knowledge and allows them to have clear models and images to aid their understanding. This also ensures that models of proof are constructed to exemplify mathematical laws and principles. The Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract model also allows children to build on their knowledge of key concepts in small steps and allows all learners to keep up with the curriculum demands. This approach to Maths is reflected in our calculation policy and pedagogy, with Teachers modelling and exploring key knowledge through the I-We-YOU approach. At Captain Webb the scope of our curriculum is inclusive and ambitious. Through declarative, procedural and conceptual knowledge, teacher’s use a curriculum ,engineered by the National Curriculum and White Rose, to ensure that children are exposed to mathematical knowledge and concepts which will prepare them for their next stage in education. It is our belief that mathematicians are best developed through memorisation of core facts and formula. In EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Maths is taught on a daily basis. In each aspect of the Maths Curriculum and throughout each key phase, the children embark on a contextualised mathematical journey. This ensures that there is breadth and depth to the curriculum offer. Each journey consists of the following: 1) Activating Prior Knowledge Use of a variety of assessments to revisit and build on pupils’ existing knowledge and understanding. 2) Instruction Use of well-planned manipulatives and representations which the children can then draw upon independently in the future. (See Jottings Policy) 3) Modelling of strategies The teaching of methods and procedures in order for the children to solve calculations in preparation for reasoning and problem solving (See Calculation Policy). 4) Guided Practice Opportunities for the children to make connections between mathematical facts, procedures and concepts, thus developing a rich network of mathematical knowledge. 5) Independent Practice The development of independence and motivation in order to develop metacognition-the ability to independently plan, monitor and evaluate their thinking and learning. 6) Structured reflection The use of contextualised tasks and resources which challenge and support pupils’ mathematics; deepening their thinking with models of proof, generalisation and conjectures. Through our creative curriculum approach, we also seek to explore and utilise further opportunities to use and apply mathematics across all subject areas which is promoted during our Theme work in the afternoon. Early Years The 2024 Development Matters, which supports the statutory framework, is used to drive the curriculum and is supported by Number sense. It is widely accepted that early acquisition of core maths facts is a significant indication of future success. In reflection of this, Number sense was introduced in Reception in September 2023. This program is reflective of phonics. Its rigorous and repetitive approach ensures children retain knowledge in order for them to move on to the next stage of their learning. The curriculum in Early years focuses on depth over breadth. Pupils are encouraged to develop their Problem Solving, Reasoning and fluency in a broad range of contexts in which they can explore, learn, enjoy, practise, discuss and extend their skills. Pupils are encouraged to exploit their mathematical potential in both indoor and outdoor enabling environments. They are provided with a wide range of activities that promote regular active participation, exploration of real-life problems, development of imaginative play and early experience of mathematical language. All pupils are supported positively and encouraged to gain confidence and competence in their skills. It is essential that children leave Early Years with a strong sense of number so that children are ready for the Year 1 curriculum. This is achieved through: A sequenced, progressive learning journey. Ensuring children are emersed in maths so that times like snack time and play are incidental opportunities to revisit knowledge. Planning activities are in place with a clear intent for each session. Ensuring independent activities consolidate prior learning or pre-teaching concepts to come. Parental engagement and opportunities for families/carers to engage in the curriculum both in school and at home. Enquiry based sessions which embedded through play. Key Stages 1 and 2 The scope of our curriculum design ensures that: There are systematic opportunities for retrieval, practice and overlearning. The learning journey allows children to practice and revisit key knowledge (as stated in our progression documents). Children revisit to the point of automaticity. Testing secures facts and methods into the long-term memory. Planning for Success Declarative Knowledge Declarative knowledge (fluency) is taught daily so that pupils know useful facts and formulae and develop an understanding of relationships and familiar patterns. Every child’s maths learning journeys start with revisiting previous knowledge in order to make connections with the new knowledge to be taught. Sufficient time and resources allow children to gain knowledge and be able retain key information at this stage. Procedural knowledge Procedural knowledge is the teaching of procedures and algorithms and is a fundamental part of the learning journey. The school has a clear calculation policy which ensures that there is a reliable, accurate and consistent forward projecting approach. This stage of the learning journey enables our pupils to process mathematical information accurately and at speed. Conceptual Knowledge At this stage, the children will know a combination of methods and facts in order to be exposed to a variety of problems and reasoning. These are taught using the variation model so that the children are exposed to a strategy and can over learn this in order to have a get way into solving a range of challenging, rich and sophisticated problems. Practice A core element of our curriculum design is to allow children sufficient time to practice to the point of automaticity. Practice and revisiting of key knowledge is completed daily as part of morning activities; during our KIRF time (Key Instant Recall Facts) where children focus on knowing key facts in order to access the curriculum and be fluent in key skills and in lesson time. Assessment NCETM states that: ‘ If a pupil fails to grasp a concept or procedure, then this needs to be identified quickly and gaps in understanding addressed systematically to prevent them falling behind.’ In reflection of this, assessment grids of non-negotiables are used to ascertain what must be known at this point to stay on the long -term trajectory. Success Children can identify and talk about their success against the targets given to them at the start of the unit. These are then shared with parents along with next steps. The Use of Knowledge Grids At Captain Webb we have introduced the use of knowledge organisers to support children in their lessons and at home. These have proved a valuable tool in making children resourceful and independent learners. This is because: The knowledge organisers include judiciously selected tier 2 and tier 3 vocabulary. This vocabulary will be taught explicitly to students. The knowledge organisers incorporate the building blocks for learning in that subject that all students are entitled to know and understand. The knowledge organisers are designed to aid retrieval practice and metacognitive learning. Here are some examples of the knowledge organisers that we are currently using in different areas in maths: Knowledge Organisers are used to promote planning, teaching and retrieving previous learning that will have the intended positive impact on our pupils’ outcomes, experiences and future opportunities. Due to the fact that pupils can access their maths knowledge organisers at any time, pupils are supported to become resilient and independent learners. An Inclusive Approach-Adaptive Teaching Curriculum Considerations Adaptive teaching is when teachers “adapt teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of all pupils”. Specifically, adaptive teaching requires teachers to: Know when and how to differentiate appropriately, using approaches which enable pupils to be taught effectively. Have a secure understanding of how a range of factors can inhibit pupils’ ability to learn and how best to overcome these. Demonstrate an awareness of the physical, social and intellectual development of children and know how to adapt teaching to support pupils’ education at different stages of development. Have a clear understanding of the needs of all pupils – including those with SEND, those of high ability, those with English as an additional language – and be able to use and evaluate distinctive teaching approaches to engage and support them. Scaffolding We understand that pupils are likely to learn at different rates and to require different levels and types of support from teachers to succeed. As a result of this, we seek to understand pupils’ differences, including their different levels of prior knowledge and potential barriers to learning. We adapt teaching in a responsive way, including providing targeted support to pupils who are struggling and offering the opportunity to think deeply within the concept for those who are ready for challenge. This will increase pupil success. At Captain Webb we follow the mastery curriculum which ensures every learner is confident with a concept before moving onto the next stage. With the mastery approach, most learners will be working towards the same outcome, with teaching being tailored and scaffolded to meet individual needs. We do acknowledge that there maybe some learners who may require a more personalised approach, including specific learning outcomes and provision to develop fundamental skills. We believe all learners should work alongside their peers. Research by EEF states that ‘the best mass learning happens when learners can talk through their ideas with a teacher or a partner and therefore it is encouraged this productive discussion through lessons when planning opportunities talk we ensure that all learners have the support they need to access these discussions which include scaffolding such as sentence frames, visual support and all peer partners’. We believe it is important that all learners are given the equal chance to learn core knowledge appropriate to their age. These are highlighted as end points in our Assessments and are crucial so that children can keep up, not catch up. Key Stage 1 Learners should have 1-1 correspondence when counting Learners should develop automaticity in addition and subtraction facts to and within 10. Ensure learners have a concept of ‘more than’ and ‘less then’ and can describe the relative sizing of number. Encourage learners to represent numbers in many different ways in pictures, as calculation, in words. Ensure learners can explain the place value of 10s and ones. Use resources such as 10s frames numicon and base 10 blocks confidently to support learning where needed. Key stage 2 Ensure learners are secure with all times tables by the end of year four as this acts as a foundation for other maths and concepts. Learners should have secure understanding of place value up to 10,000 and beyond. Learners begin to apply their knowledge of number and written methods to reasoning problems. Strategies to Scaffold learning. At Captain Webb, we support learners in a range of ways to help them to keep up with the curriculum demands. Our adapted lessons consider how all learners can: Retain vocabulary. Access the Maths curriculum despite literacy difficulties. Allocate time to develop conceptual understanding. Be fluent in number facts. Teachers refer to the ‘Whole School SEND Teacher Handbook’ ,the local Maths Hub and Captain Webb’s Strategies for Supporting SEND Document for guidance and support. https://www.wholeschoolsend.org.uk/resources/teacher-handbook-send ) Impact We measure the impact of our curriculum through: Formal and Summative assessments: Reception Baseline Data/ELGs Optional SATs KS1 and Teacher’s Assessment using the framework.

At Captain Webb we prioritise core declarative knowledge from an early age, so that pupils are familiar with the facts and methods that will form the strategies taught and applied later in the learning sequence.’ We strongly believe that mathematical fluency skills help pupils to think faster and more clearly; giving them a formative start in order to tackle complex problem-solving and reasoning questions. The school follows the Numbersense program which systematically teaches factual fluency and provides a progressive approach to achieve factual fluency in additive and multiplicative facts for each and every child. Numbersense Progression Document 2022 - 2025 YEAR 4 MULTIPLICATION PROGRESS CHECK “Leaving primary school with a fundamental grasp of basic numeracy is as important as leaving being able to read. And just as the phonics check has helped more children learn to read, this will ensure more pupils know their times tables.” Nick Gibb, schools minister. In June each year, Year 4 pupils are required to sit a multiplication tables check (MTC). This test is online and will require the children to answer 25 questions on their multiplication knowledge from two to twelves times table. Pupils are given 6 seconds per question with three seconds rest between each question, so the test should last less than 5 minutes. The MTC will establish which pupils’ times table knowledge is at the expected level and will also help identify which pupils are struggling with their times tables so they can get extra support. To help your child prepare for these checks, we progressive introduce multiplication facts from year 1 with the expectation that all facts will be known by the end of Year 4. (See the multiplication Planner). As a school, we also use Time Table Rock Stars. This is an interactive online program which allows your child to practice key facts at speed and allows the teacher to see which facts the children are having difficulty with. Questions on the six, seven, eight, nine and twelve times table are more likely to come up most often and as these are the hardest for most children to learn, it is a good idea to focus on learning these tables with your child.
