Why choose Harborne? Excellent academic achievement Experienced and capable staff Emphasis on effective learning across a wide curriculum Commitment to educational visits and enrichment activities Excellent behaviour and good relationships National Support School

Things we think are important… Developing self confidence and self esteem Developing good relationships with others Developing good attitudes to learning Developing appropriate behaviour and self control Developing a sense of community Developing awareness of the importance of looking after our bodies and healthy eating

Behaviour We employ positive behaviour management strategies We use stickers and tick charts as rewards We use a ‘zone board’ to re-enforce agreed school rules

Parents in school We recognise the vital role you as parents play in the education of your child We ask you to sign our ‘home: school agreement’ Teachers are available at the end of the school day for informal contact You are welcome to make an appointment to discuss any concerns with your child’s teacher, the Phase leader or the head teacher Every parent is a member of the ‘Friends of Harborne’ School Parents’ Group and we look forward to your involvement in our many social and fund raising events.

Criteria for allocating places (L.A. not school!) 1)Statement of special educational need that names this school. 2)Sibling qualification (last year 43/90 previous year 36/90) 3)Distance The local authority measures from the address point of your home to the centre of the school (unless otherwise stated) using a computerised mapping system called Cartology. Do not try and work this out yourselves by road! For this purpose “home” is the child’s main place of residence. The child needs to be resident there when their name is added to the list. The LA can make background checks-they can withdraw a place if allocation is based on an address that is found not to be the child’s “home”- even after the child has started school. We routinely request proof of address and birth certificates for all pupils before admitting them. Distance of last child admitted m m m m

Preparing your child for school When starting school it is helpful if your child can: Dress and undress themselves independently Use the toilet independently Talk in full sentences, join in with simple songs and rhymes Recognise their own belongings Use a knife and fork independently Listen to others and take turns Be confident to be left with another adult for short periods of time Hold a pencil correctly to draw pictures and colour Use scissors

Early Years Curriculum This Curriculum is divided into 7 Areas of Learning. Prime areas are “Personal and Social”, “Physical” and “Communication and Language” Much of the learning is achieved through self initiated learning and exploratory play A careful record is kept of children’s progress across these 7 areas. All children are different and learn and develop in different ways and at different rates
