In my Office, I have a sign that says ‘Imagine my child is here…’ Whenever I have a
decision to make, I read this and put myself in the shoes of you, the parents. Every
child at this school matters and we value each talent and gift that each child brings to
the school. We aim to help them find their talents and passions, as well as equipping
the children for life long learning. As the children leave us at the end of Year 6 to
embark on the next phase of their education, I know that they leave us as confident,
happy children, with good literacy and numeracy skills, keen to embrace any
challenges they may meet.
This school is a happy place where children thrive. We have high expectations and
always tell our children that we are the best! I hope to meet you soon, to show you
around the school – I am very proud of the children here and of the ethos of the school,
which is warm, friendly, caring and hardworking.
Please call 01794 884420 to arrange a visit.

A Brief History of our School
Whiteparish All Saints School was established on its present site in 1842 as a school
for all ages. The grounds were presented to the village by Countess Lady Elizabeth
Nelson, a descendant of Admiral Lord Nelson, whose family has had connections with
the village since the battle of Trafalgar.
The original school was much smaller than the present building with only one ‘all age’
class, over the years the school has expanded and can now accommodate up to 150
children in five classes. There are currently 138 children on roll.

Pre School Education & Before/After school care
Currently there is no Pre-school in the village. The school offers before school care
form 8:00am and a local child minder offers after-school care.

Admissions Policy
The school is open to all children between the ages of four and eleven who reside in
the Whiteparish area.
The school is happy to consider applications from families outside Whiteparish
provided that the planned admission limits have not been exceeded. In the case of
demand exceeding places the available places will be allocated according to the criteria
in the Admissions Policy.
The school can cater for twenty-one children in any one-year group.
Children start school in the September of the academic year that they will be five.
A full copy of this policy is included in the admissions pack and may be found on our
website (www.allsaints.wilts.sch.uk).

The School Curriculum
In January 2012, we received the prestigious NACE Award (National Association of
Able Children in Education), which recognized our excellence in whole school
provision for the more able, gifted and talented pupils, as well as for our enriched and
broad curriculum for all pupils, reflecting the ‘can do’ ethos of the school. In May
2016 we were re-accredited with this award; we are the only primary school in
Wiltshire to have this and the 95th school in the whole UK.
In line with Government policy the development of basic skills in literacy, numeracy
and ICT are at the forefront of our teaching. A variety of teaching styles are used;
children will be taught both individually and as part of large and small groups
according to the skills being developed and the content of the lesson.
At Whiteparish All Saints CE Primary School we use the International Primary
Curriculum (IPC) as a tool to help us to teach a thematic, exciting, skills-based
curriculum.
The IPC gives us greater flexibility when designing a curriculum; instead of teaching
one lesson of each subject each week, we might chunk the learning, perhaps focusing
on art for three consecutive afternoons, then moving on to a focus on geography. All
the learning will link with a theme or topic, designed to really engage the children.
The IPC provides a cross-curricular, thematic, rigorous teaching structure suitable for
children of all abilities. It encourages hands on learning and exploration, group
activity and creative presentation.
Each unit of work within the IPC begins with an entry point. This is an event or
activity that sets an exciting context for the children. It takes place before the formal
work. These days are usually great fun and enjoyed by all.

Special Weeks and Days
We aim to supplement our creative curriculum with special themed weeks, which we
will develop and change each year.
This year’s weeks included:
Autumn term: Nursery Rhyme Week and Shakespeare week
Spring term: Science week – including trips to Paulton’s Park to discover forces first
hand, rearing chicks from eggs and a visit from Mini-Beast Mayhem. Also Book
Week based on Alice in Wonderland.
Summer term: Arts Week based on the National Gallery’s ‘Take One Picture’
In addition to these themed weeks, last year we also organised a British History week,
to allow us to focus on a different period of history and learn, through a variety of
activities, all about the people and events of that time.
There were also special days such as the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, the festival of
Holi along with Eco days and charity days. Many of these themed weeks and days
include trips to enhance the learning or visitors coming in to school.

Reporting on children’s progress with the curriculum
All children have their performance continually monitored. In the Foundation Stage,
assessments are made against the Early Learning Goals and learning journeys are used
throughout the year. Assessment against the National Curriculum is carried out from
Year 1 with Standard Assessment Tasks (SATS) conducted at the end of Year 2 and
Year 6. Parents are given an opportunity to discuss their child’s results and progress
with their class teacher both after SATS and formally in the Autumn and Spring term at
parent teacher consultations. Written reports are given annually in the Summer term.
9
Every half term parents will be given an overview, outlining topics to be covered by
the children in that half term. Parents and teachers will be able to use this as a basis of
discussions in order to work together to promote individual children’s learning.
Special Education Needs (S.E.N.)
Children may experience problems in learning from time to time. Usually these
difficulties can be overcome by arranging for differentiation of work and perhaps extra
help. However, sometimes they persist and warrant special care.
Our policy for Special Educational Needs follows the Government guidelines set out in
their ‘Code of Practice for Special Needs’. Parents are involved from the earliest
stages of this procedure. A copy of the Special Educational Needs Policy and our offer
is available from the school office on request and is also available on our website
(www.allsaints.wilts.sch.uk).

More Able and Talented
The Governors and staff at our school acknowledge the potential of each individual
pupil and as such seek to support the More Able and Talented children within our
school through a broad range of opportunities.
In the pursuit of school-wide excellence we aim to provide opportunities for all our
pupils to reveal, display and extend their abilities. We aim to provide opportunities for
attending More Able and Talented courses in both the cluster schools and those
organized by County. Our work in this area was recognized in January 2012 and again
in May 2016, when we received the prestigious NACE Award for excellence in our
whole school provision for the able, gifted and talented.
We believe that supporting the needs of the More Able and Talented children is a
factor in raising the achievements for all.
The following are offered on a regular basis and, although these benefit all pupils, they
are particularly apt for ensuring that pupils who have potential in these areas are given
opportunities to practise and extend their skills.
 Enrichment days
 Residential experiences
 School clubs
 Musical and sporting activities.
We believe in providing appropriate challenge within the broad and balanced
curriculum of our school.

Subjects
Religious Education
As a church school, we aim to nurture and guide
children to develop and explore their faith and
spirituality within a Christian context.
The children are given a sound understanding of
Christianity and its importance in our lives. They are
also taught to understand, respect and tolerate those who have different views and
faiths.
These basic Christian morals are central to the school and its behaviour policy. Parents
and pupils are requested to support our five key values: Respect, Friendship,
Creativity, Perseverance and Responsibility.
We hope that all children will participate in Religious Education, which is inclusive
and broad minded, teaching major world faiths, including Judaism, Sikhism and Islam;
however we respect the right of any parent to withdraw their child by prior
arrangement, although we do not support selective withdrawal from RE. If you have
concerns about your child attending Religious Education, please arrange to meet and
discuss this with the Head Teacher.
English
Literacy is taught each day throughout the school in accordance with the National
Literacy Strategy. The skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening are
fundamental to the curriculum for all classes and subjects. Children are encouraged to
listen to both teachers and their peers, formulate and clarify their own ideas and
respond appropriately.
There are reading corners in all classrooms. Time is set aside each day for children to
develop their individual and group reading skills. The school is keen to promote both
the enjoyment of books and to develop fluent readers from an early age.
Writing skills are very important and children are encouraged and taught, when they
start school, to write fluently and legibly. The ability to spell correctly, punctuate
properly and write grammatically is developed alongside presentation skills.
Handwriting and spelling are taught every day.
11
Mathematics
Developing children’s mathematic awareness is a key priority. We believe that the
skills acquired in mathematics are used in many aspects of life both inside and outside
the classroom. Mathematical knowledge is a key facet in developing economic
sustainability.
Within our teaching of Maths, we plan to develop the full range of concepts and
processes including numbers, measurement, weight, capacity, time, money, shape and
space.
In Key Stage 1 (Years 1&2) we use the Numicon scheme of work, which uses a lot of
manipulatives and practical equipment to really embed concepts.
We plan our teaching in Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6) using the Mathematics Enrichment
Project [MEP] materials developed by Davis Burgess at Plymouth University. This
style of teaching is based on the successful Hungarian method of teaching
mathematics. By following this scheme we aim to make all our children able
mathematicians.
Maths puzzle challenge day!
Science
We believe that it is through the study of science that
children learn to respect and appreciate the
environment in which they live.
Our intention in science is to develop the children’s
skills, knowledge and understanding of living things,
materials, phenomena and processes that are within
the everyday experience. Children are encouraged to ask questions and are taught
appropriate vocabulary with which to describe their observations. They are taught to
12
communicate their ideas effectively and to use diagrams, graphs, tables and charts to
record and present information in a systematic manner.
Computing
Computer skills are developed progressively and used to
extend and enhance learning in other areas. We have a
laptop trolley containing 20 laptops, which is easily
moved into class for research and presentations. In
addition, each class has a number of computers and a range of software, so that
learning in a variety of subject areas can be supported. The Internet, which children
access under supervision, is in daily use. An Interactive whiteboard is used in all
classes. Each year we entered the Lego Robotics Competition at Winchester Science
Centre and the Y5s took part in a Scratch Jam at the local secondary school.

History
History is taught through the International Primary Curriculum. We aim to make
history a first hand experience where possible, with children re-enacting historical
events and dressing up to live the part. We believe that trips and visitors to the school
enrich the children’s experience of history and make it come alive.

Geography
Geography is also taught through the IPC. Children learn about the physical and manmade features of their surroundings through direct experience, practical activities and
fieldwork.
Skills taught include observing their environment, questioning, recording and making
maps and plans for their own use.
We make use of the village for local studies and children will often be seen on ‘welly
walks’ around the village or in the local woods!
Art
We are very proud to have our Gold Artsmark in recognition of the broad and
enriching arts curriculum that we offer. Every year we hold an Arts Week, where the
children have the opportunity to work alongside an artist or musician, in addition to
many wonderful art projects to support their IPC topics.
Design & Technology
The school gives the children focused, practical tasks to enable them to develop the
necessary skills for design and manufacture. The pupils work with a wide range of
materials and components and investigate how materials can be used to suit different
applications.
14
The children learn how to select tools, how to measure, mark, cut out, shape, assemble,
join and finish work to a high standard. They are also taught about mechanisms,
structures and how things work. The teachers show the children how to assess the
quality of man-made objects, to consider issues of health and safety and to use the
appropriate vocabulary.
Physical Education
All children have the opportunity to develop and
demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding
of games, dance, gymnastics and athletics. The school
has an Active Mark and Healthy Schools Status,
reflecting its commitment to high standards in PE and
promoting good health. We have been awarded our
Gold Level Sporting Games Award – the first primary school in Wiltshire to do so!
(July 2015 and July 2016)
The children are taught a wide range of sports, including football, tag rugby, cricket,
skittleball, netball, athletics and rounders.
Competitive team games form an important part of our school activities and we take
part in events such as football, netball and rugby tournaments and fixtures and
gymnastic festivals against schools from the surrounding area.
Music
Children learn to sing and play a selection of instruments.
All children learn to perform on their own and with
others in class, and at events such as the school drama
productions and Church services.
We are keen to promote children learning to make music. All of Year 3 are taught to
play the recorder. Reception, Years 1 and 2 have singing lessons with a visiting music
teacher. Reception children also have a weekly Music Bugs session with a visiting
teacher.
A large percentage of KS2 children learn to play a musical instrument. At present we
offer singing, guitar, clarinet, flute, piano, violin, viola, trumpet, cornet and trombone
lessons. These are taught by peripatetic teachers and parents contribute towards the
cost of lessons.
15
Modern Foreign Languages (MFL)
All children from YR- Y6 learn French during the school day. These lessons are based
on not only giving them an understanding of the language but serve to help develop
their understanding of life in other countries. In EYFS and KS1 (Y1 and 2) the children
use songs and games to begin to develop their awareness of language.
PSHE and Citizenship
Whilst PSHE and Citizenship is non- statutory we believe that this work is at the heart
of all we do in our school. PSHE and Citizenship cover the knowledge, understanding
and skills that prepare our children to play an active role as citizens. It promotes
pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. It focuses on health and wellbeing and prepares them for taking their place in an ever changing world.
The school has been awarded the Healthy Schools Award.
Extra Curricula Activities
Educational visits
We believe that first hand experiences are of great
value and endeavour to provide a variety of
opportunities to broaden the children’s learning.
The school is not permitted to charge for any
educational activities and visits that take place within
school hours. However, as the school does not receive any extra funding to cover such
costs, we have no alternative than to ask for voluntary contributions should outings be
planned. All parents will be advised in advance of any visit of the costs involved
16
should it be dependent on voluntary funding. In the event that adequate funds cannot
be raised, the school reserves the right to cancel any activity.
If the activity or outing takes place no child will be excluded
because his/her parents or guardian have not made a contribution.
Clubs and special activities
The school actively encourages a wide range of clubs and
special activities. Some activities are for set age groups of
pupils; many are open to all. These activities are principally
organised by volunteers (parents, teachers and Governors).
Where professionals are employed and the activity is outside
of school time, there will be a charge to cover these costs.
Some clubs involve a small charge to cover the cost of materials and sundries.

What it means to be a Church of
England School
Whiteparish All Saints School is a Church of England ‘Aided’
Primary School, which means that it has a strong link with the
local Parish Church and with Salisbury Diocese.
A number of Foundation Governors are appointed to the school by the Parochial
Church Council; additionally there is a close association with the local clergy and
church community.
The School’s ‘Aided’ status means that the Governing body is responsible for
appointing staff. This ensures that those appointed support the principles of a church
school and its commitment to religious education and daily worship.
The School’s Ethos Statement
Recognising its historic foundation, our school will preserve and develop its religious
character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in
partnership with the Churches at parish and diocesan level.
Our school aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest
quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. We encourage an
understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promote Christian values
through the experience we offer to all our pupils.
Collective Worship
There is a daily act of Collective Worship. We believe
worship should be used to promote the spiritual, moral
and cultural development of the children.
The Rev. Jane Dunlop leads a Family Service once a
month, which parents are encouraged to attend.
We hope that all children will participate in Collective Worship; however, we respect
the right of any parent to withdraw their child by prior arrangement. If you have
concern about your child attending Collective Worship, please meet and discuss this
with the Head Teacher.
All parents are welcome to participate in the special school service, held at All Saints
Church in the village to celebrate Harvest, All Saints Day, Christmas, Easter and our
Leavers’ Service in July.

How can you help?
Parents/guardians are always welcome at the school; we hope that you can visit as
often as possible. Education is a partnership and by working together we can provide a
firm base for your child’s future. We welcome feedback on your child’s learning
environment and would wish to deal with any problems or concerns you have
promptly.
Your help is invaluable both inside and outside the classroom. We welcome help with
art and crafts, technology, games, reading and maths. Help may be given on a one-off
or regular basis and many parents assist with after-school activities.
All parents are members of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA). You are welcome
to join in meetings and the many events planned over the year. We hope that you will
also be able to actively help in some of the organisation.
The PTA holds a skills’ register, please let us know what you can do to help.
Sign Posts
Parents tend to use local child minders to provide cover for their children when
necessary. The school will be happy to pass on details of registered carers in the area.

School attendance figures
School attendance figures: 1st September – 20th July 2015 = 96.19%. (National
Absence rate is 5.14%)
We work very hard to ensure that our attendance remains in line with or above national
percentages. If your child’s attendance rate falls below 90%, the school will write to
you and no authorized absence will be granted for that year.
Parents are required to notify the school within 24 hours of an absence. On the return
of the child to school written details of length and reason of the absence must be given
in order for the school to maintain statutory records.
Holidays in term time are not authorised. Unauthorised absence may result in a fine.
22
SATS
Pupil achievements
At the ages of 7 and 11 all children are assessed in their knowledge of English,
Mathematics and Science. In 2016, a new system was introduced, based on a score of
100 being average and children will be reported to be working towards national, in line
with national or above national expectations.
Assessment is ongoing throughout the school. At the end of each year the class teacher
will make an assessment of each child’s progress and achievements including their
attainment in terms of the National Curriculum core subjects.
In year 2 and year 6 the National Standard Tests are administered and these results are
reported to parents. They are used to compile Government performance tables for Key
Stage 2.

Safeguarding and Child Protection
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children. We all
share this commitment. All staff and adults who regularly work with the children are
required to have DBS checks. The Designated Safeguarding Officer is Kate Heathcote
(Head Teacher) and the nominated Governor for Safeguarding is Mary Odurny.
Where does your child go from here?
Children from Whiteparish All Saints usually transfer to:





Bishop Wordsworth Grammar School for Boys
South Wiltshire Grammar School for Girls
The Trafalgar School at Downton
The Romsey School
Burgate
Close liaison is maintained with all Wiltshire secondary schools and parents will be
informed when ‘open days’ take place and procedures for transfer. Places to the
grammar schools are allocated after 11+ examinations, which take place in September.
As Whiteparish is close to the Hampshire border, some parents select Hampshire
schools. The Romsey Community School and Mountbatten School have accepted our
pupils in the recent past.
I look forward to showing you round the school and discussing the curriculum in more
detail with you. This is a happy school, where adults and children care for each other.
I believe that every child can flourish and find his/her talent here at Whiteparish.
