Introduction to our school
Selattyn CE Primary School is a small, friendly village school, situated in the Shropshire village of Selattyn near to the Welsh border.
The school offers small class sizes, high quality teaching and excellent pastoral care. The school has a distinct Christian Ethos, which runs as a thread through our daily school life, our learning and our teaching. It maintains strong links with the local church and clergy.
Two governors represent the Church of England Foundation, but the Church has no other direct involvement in the management.
Our vision and values
Forgiveness
Hope
Our Vision
As a loving community, our vision is to nurture each individual in our care, giving them the skills, resilience and hope to suceed and flourish, both academically and spiritually, in God’s ever changing world.
Thankfulness
–as we see in the Feeding of the 5,000
Perseverance
–like the father offered to The Lost Son
-that the Good Samaritan showed to the man who had been attacked
–just as the shepherd showed when he found the Lost Sheep
-that Jesus gives us, even when storms hit. (Jesus calms the storm)
–like the lady showed when she lost her coin
Our aims
To provide an inclusive Christian learning environment where every child feels happy, secure, valued and suitably challenged.
To ensure children are aware of God’s environment in which they live and learn.
To maximise the potential of every individual with an acceptance and realisation that each child’s abilities, capabilities, aptitudes and needs are different.
To ensure equality of educational opportunity for all children and adults in the school.
To promote a culture of high standards and expectations through all aspects of school life.
To promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental, social and physical development of every child within school.
To encourage independence and self motivation and help children develop lively and enquiring minds.
To model and nurture a culture of respect for each other and ourselves and give children the responsibility for their own behaviour.
To foster links with the local and wider communities and explore the benefits of shared initiatives and expertise.
To promote enjoyment of and high standards and expectations in numeracy, literacy, sciences, humanities, physical activities and the arts.
To live and learn within the family atmosphere that lies at the heart of our small village school.
Our school Christian ethos
We believe in a whole school approach that encourages an integrated ‘family’ atmosphere throughout the school.
This is sustained by all members of our community being genuinely interested in the welfare of each other and each child knowing that there is always a sympathetic companion nearby, adult or child. We believe we are a family, God’s family and that in His care and with His guidance we will flourish and grow together.
This ‘family’ atmosphere is also promoted by the willingness of all children to assist and care for each other; to share in each other’s concerns and successes so that the whole community develops together in an atmosphere of friendly, mutual co-operation.
We aim to develop every individual to their full potential, through the encouragement of high standards and high expectations. We aim to offer a broad, balanced and creative curriculum and to foster in our children a love and enjoyment of learning and respect for and an understanding of God’s world in which they live.
Through all activities we promote forgiveness, co-operation, respect, thankfulness, hope, perseverance, and community.

Various intervention and challenge sessions are put in place for individuals and groups of pupils where a need is identified. These intervention sessions are paramount to some pupils’ individual learning journeys and offer the pupils a chance to consolidate, catch – up on and extend their class work. The sessions also promote inclusion, improving self confidence and self esteem and a chance for pupils to question in a more personal environment.
Class arrangements are reviewed annually.
Our school buildings and environment
Our Buildings
The attractive stone building of Selattyn CE Primary School sits slightly set back from the road in an elevated position under a steeply pitched red tiled roof with beautiful oak entrance doors.
The original Victorian building houses one main classroom, a learning mentor area, the main office and reception, toilets, cloakroom area and the staffroom. This part of the school has been extensively remodelled and refurbished over the last few years.
The school site continues upwards through garden areas to the playground where there are three recently refurbished demountable classrooms, a large hall, a library area and an outdoor classroom. The reception/Year 1 classroom has an outdoor shelter attached, a separate play area for indoor – outdoor learning, a large play house.
The hall is used for collective worship, dinner time, PE activities, drama and dance activities, the teaching of specialist groups, extra curricular activities, school family days and out-of-school activities. The hall is also used by ‘Little Badgers’, a parent and toddler group which is run jointly by parents and local clergy. Members from The Mother’s Union from St. Mary’s Church organise refreshments at these sessions and join in the fun.
Our Environment
Selattyn CE Primary School is surrounded by countryside and fields and occupies a very enviable position in a truly beautiful rural area.
There are extensive grounds to the rear of the school which rise above the buildings and afford wonderful 360 degree views. The grounds incorporate a flat, top playing field, a sloping, middle field and areas of bank and coppice planted by the pupils and staff over the past few years. There are also areas set aside for wildlife conservation and study, for gardening and growing vegetables and areas of shade.
The large playground is bordered by grassy banks planted with wild and meadow flowers, spring bulbs and trees.
Our unique environment is used throughout all seasons to facilitate our rich and diverse curriculum and as part of our work on learning to care for the natural world around us.

Admissions arrangements
Parents / Carers who are considering enrolling their child at Selattyn CE Primary School are welcome to visit the school during a school day at a mutually convenient time.
An appointment may be made by phoning or emailing the school. Mr Shepherd will be pleased to meet the parents / carers of prospective pupils, to answer any questions and to show them and prospective pupils around the school.
Children can join reception in the September after their fourth birthday. For our new starters joining our Reception in September, we give parents and carers the opportunity to attend an information session to meet our class teacher and ask any questions. Arrangements are also made for our new starters to spend some time in class to familiarise themselves with the school, class and other pupils.
As a Church of England school, the Governing Body and Staff encourage a caring and Christian ethos in the school. Christian values play an integral part in the life of the school. Collective Worship and Religious Education consequently play an important part in the school day and we encourage pupils to take a lead in these activities.

All applications received by this date will be considered and parents will be informed by Shropshire Council on 16th April (or the next working day) if they have been allocated a place for their child.

Governing body
At Selattyn we have a very supportive and proactive governing body. Their role is to oversee the activities of the school and ensure that the policies promote our ethos as well as help to ensure an enriched, high quality of education for each child.
Parent Governors
Parents, including carers, of pupils are eligible to stand for election as governors. Parent governors are elected by other parents at the school. If insufficient parents stand for election, the governing body may appoint parents.
Parents who have a child in school may elect parent governors, who may serve for four years on the governing body. Every parent has the opportunity to be elected and is notified by letter when each election is due. Alongside termly governor meetings there are also sub-committee meetings which take place. Training is available and it is a good opportunity to make a positive contribution to school life.

The curriculum
Pupils in reception follow the Early Years Curriculum which dovetails into the National Curriculum subjects in key Stage 1.
The National Curriculum sets out the clear full statutory entitlement to learning for all pupils. The core subjects are English, Mathematics and Science. The foundation subjects are Art, Geography, History, Design Technology, ICT, Music and Physical Education. Religious Education is taught in all classes.
Children are taught in four mixed age classes with mixed ability settings for all subjects Year 6 pupils are taught separately each morning.
At Selattyn, we teach using a variety of approaches and strategies including individual teaching, whole class teaching, group teaching and mixed aged teaching. Where possible cross curricular links are used to create theme based learning around a particular topic to make learning meaningful, relevant and fun. More focused discrete subject teaching also has a place in our curriculum and the progression of skills in individual subjects is addressed through our whole school planning system.
Children have the opportunity to join and participate in our School Council, Worship Group and Eco Committee.
Religious Education and Collective Worship
As a church school, we have a strong Christian ethos which runs through our everyday school life. All members of our school community have a strong commitment to upholding Christian values and to helping others to learn within a caring Christian environment.
Collective Worship takes place for the whole school, every day for 20 minutes. It takes place both in the hall and outside in various locations on site depending on the weather and theme. The time of collective worship varies throughout the week. Once a week there is a designated Anglican worship delivered through listening, art activities and drama.
Rev.Steve Nicholson leads collective worship regularly, Jane Webber, Youth Christian Worker, leads collective worship once a fortnight and other visitors are welcomed to lead collective worship at least once a term.
The school has a very close relationship with the local church, St Mary’s, and regularly leads special services for parents and the community based around the Christian calendar including Harvest, Christmas, Easter and Mothering Sunday.
Prayer is an important element in our school life, including formal and extempore prayer at collective worship, meal times and at the end of the school day. Quiet reflective times are part of worship so each pupil may think about important issues and be calm and still in the midst of their busy lives.
As a school we encourage a positive understanding of the faiths taught in Britain today.
Parents have the right to withdraw their children from any or all of the religious activities undertaken in Selattyn CE Primary School.
Out of school activities
Selattyn arranges a variety of out of school activities. Some of these take place on a regular basis and form an integral part of school life.
Swimming sessions, field studies around the grounds and village, sports fixtures with other local schools, athletic and cross country events and services at St. Mary’s Church.
Others take place less frequently and are usually undertaken to enrich the curriculum and provide experiences and opportunities for learning, socialising and having fun. These include; three day residential outdoor pursuits trip, museum visits, pantomime visits and trips depending on subject areas being taught.
The school also arranges for visiting groups to come into school such as travelling theatres, local authors and local police and fire officers.
A range of after school clubs also take place including Football coaching, cross country club, athletics club, study club, games club and Eco Committee.
Sex and Relationships Education
At Selattyn CE Primary School, Sex and Relationships Education is taught in the context of respect, relationships and responsibility within the Christian Ethos.
It is taught alongside Personal, Social and Health Education and crosses over with National Curriculum Science Curriculum.
A sympathetic and sensitive approved scheme of work is delivered throughout the school designed to help the children make sense of the world around them, understand life processes and uphold Christian values. In the early years, pupils learn about more general aspects of the natural world around them leading up to more specific human reproduction content for pupils in year six.
If you would like to discuss this more fully, please contact the Personal Social and Health Education (P.S.H.E.) lead or Headteacher.
Special Educational Needs
The teaching staff at Selattyn CE Primary School provide a suitably differentiated curriculum within their Quality First teaching for all children in their care.
Support and specialised resources are co-ordinated by one staff member and where appropriate, in consultation with parents, other approaches are taken to provide the best opportunities for individual children’s educational development. Parent and school consultation and partnership are essential for the successful support of children with identified Special Educational Needs. This could include identified pupils having an Individual Education Plan or Basic Skills Plan which set out the aims and objectives or how to support learners.
The school is accessible to pupils with disabilities within the buildings sited on our upper level. There are disabled toilet facilities within these buildings. All pupils are actively encouraged to integrate into all aspects of school life and we believe Selattyn CE Primary School is a truly inclusive educational setting.
At Selattyn School we believe all children to have particular gifts and talents. We aim to provide opportunities for all children to achieve their full potential. Additional support and opportunities are organised to challenge the needs of pupils who are able to access their learning at a higher level.
Most importantly, Selattyn is truly inclusive, and every pupil is respected and thoughtfully enabled to make progress and achieve their very best.

Learning Mentor / Intervention Sessions

She works with pupils who may need extra support using many different approaches. Mrs Haralambous works to build supportive relationships with individual and groups of pupils who for various reasons may find some aspects of learning difficult.
The type of issues which may get in the way of learning can include family problems, bereavement, bullying, low self- confidence etc. Pupils may be timetabled to meet with Mrs Haralambous if ongoing support is needed or they may meet with her on an informal ‘drop in’ basis.
Absence
As a school, we take pride in our excellent attendance record and work hard to make school a happy, exciting place for children and staff to be.
We hope you will work with us in ensuring your child attends school regularly and that when absence is unavoidable, the school is notified of the reason for non attendance before 9:30am on the first day of absence.
The school has a legal requirement to record every absence and the reason for that absence. Unauthorised absences are reported on a termly basis to the local authority and the school works closely with a designated Educational Welfare Officer to monitor trends and improve standards.
Lateness
It is very important that your child arrives in school in time for registration at 8:50am. Persistent lateness is monitored by the Educational Welfare Service. Children who arrive after 8:50am should come into school via the main front door and report directly to Mrs Samson.

Headteachers are unable to authorise leave of absence for family holiday.

Children can choose to have school dinners on any day of the week and dinner numbers are taken every day.

Every child can gain Dojo to add to their class account for doing their best work, for making a consistent effort, for behaving in a kind and caring way, for being helpful and polite and for showing the right attitude to school and learning.
10 of these Dojos gain a certificate in our Celebration Assembly every Friday and a chance to move their house’s horse along one space of the race course, as well as earning One House Point. At the end of term the House who has won the race is presented with a shield.
Star of The Week
At the end of each week one child from each class, who has shone in the classroom, is chosen to be their Star of the Week. They are presented with a trophy and have their photograph taken to commemorate the event which is displayed on the class story on Dojo.
Homework
We ask for your help in encouraging your child to read as part of their daily routine whatever class they are in. In all 4 classes, small amounts of work may be set relating to classroom learning on a weekly basis. The amount set is age related and appropriate to the children’s learning stage. Some of these tasks may be interactive and also include tasks set on Class Dojo.
Behaviour
At Selattyn CE Primary School we model and expect high standards of behaviour and discipline and all stakeholders work hard to sustain a caring, respectful community. We encourage each child to develop a sense of self-discipline, recognising the need to co-operate for the good of the whole school community, and reflecting our Christian values and Ethos. Each individual is encouraged to develop their sense of right and wrong and an understanding of how to behave in an acceptable manner.
Healthy Schools
At Selattyn we all try to follow a healthy lifestyle. We think about what we eat and try to eat healthily, we think about keeping fit and try to exercise regularly and we think about ways in which we can keep ourselves healthy and fit for learning and life.

Safeguarding
The school aims to help parents understand that it has a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of all pupils, staff and stakeholders. The school may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a pupil’s welfare.

First Aid
Six members of the staff are qualified first aiders. Two staff members are paediatric first aid trained. Qualifications are reviewed and refreshed within the recommended time frame.
Security
A single side gate, accessed from the front of the school, is the normal main access for all pupils entering or leaving the premises. This gate is locked at 8:50 am and is opened again at 3:20 pm just before home time, in order to allow parents and carers access to the top playground to collect pupils.
Complaints Policy

Medicines
If your child is unwell, please keep him/her at home and notify the school by 9:30 am. When a child becomes unwell or has an accident at school, we will endeavour to contact parents. For this purpose we hold a contact list holding relevant information. [This will form part of the paperwork completed by new parents and is updated once a year.] Minor cuts and bumps will be dealt with by the school’s trained first aiders and any incidents involving a bumped head or a cut will be detailed on a letter home that day.
Please note the following points relating to the administration of medicines in school:-
• All medication must be administered by parents and not by school staff. We are happy for parents to come into school to the main office to administer medicines to their own children.
