[Extra Curricular Activites]
Lord Blyton offers to all its pupils the type of curriculum, which is designed
to ensure that they are given the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
The content of the Curriculum is subject to statutory guidelines, which have
been laid down by the Government, this is called the National Curriculum.
All children are taught Math, Science, English, Technology, History, Geography,
Music, Art, Physical Education and Religious Education. At key stage 2 children
will have much more differentiation between the subjects.
Some pupils in Year 5 aree auditioned for tuition on a brass instrument and
tuition is given once a week by a fully qualified teacher.
At the present time all children at Key Stage 2 are given the opportunity
to go swimming at one of the local learner pools, where they are instructed
by a qualified wimming teacher.
All pupils in year 6 will be given the opportunity to go on at least one residential
visit, usually of five days in duration. During the visit they will take part
in a wide range of outdoor activities.
Lord Blyton School is a County School and as such we do not have any particular
religious affiliation. However, our religious work is based upon Christian
beliefs and the children are given a sound knowledge of the teachings of the
bible. We conduct a daily corporate act of woship in addition to the time
allocated for Religious Education. In line with Education Authority's multi-cultural
policy, other reigions are brought to the attention of the children in order
to foster a spirit of tolerance and harmony in the community. Any parent who
does not feel their child is being given adequate coverage of the National
Curriculum as laid down by the Education Report Act has the right to appeal.
Documentation of school policies can be inspected by parents. Parents have
the right to withdraw children from Religious Education and should discuss
this with the Headteacher if they wish to do so.
Equal Opportunities
In our Statement of Intent we aim to provide an evironment in which all members
of school community are given the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
We will ensure that sex, race or any other general characteristics does not
get in the way of this pursuit.
Multi-Cultural Education Statement
Everyone in Lord Blyton School recognises their responsibilities to prepare
children for life in a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic society, in order to
combat the harmful effects of racism.
Our Curriculum seeks to reflect the cultural diversity of our country and
we aim to promote within our children, an understanding of the United Kingdom's
place in a wider, interdependent world.
We earnestly seek the co-operation of all our parents and friends to support
us in these aims, so that all our children appreciate and enjoy the similarities
and differences of world peoples and learn from them.
Special Needs
All children share the right to a broad and balanced Curriculum. At Lord Blyton
School we try to ensure that every child receives a differentiated Curriculum
appropriate to their needs.
Within the school we try to ensure that the ethos is such that ever child
is aware of the needs of others and responds accordingly.
The school will provide necessary provisions for any child with special needs,
educational and behavioural, using the expertise of the teachers. Where necessary
we work other professionals including the educational psychologist to support
us in meeting children's needs. Extension work is provided for children of
high ability.
In all cases parents will be consulted and kept fully informed where additional
support is required for their child.
