Additionally Resourced Provision:
The ARP which used to be situated at Harewood Primary has now been re-located as a KS1 and KS2
provision at Myton Park Primary School. The children who were formerly allocated places here will be
funded to enable them to remain here until they finish KS2. Children who require a place in the new
enhanced provision at Myton Park will need an Educational Health Care Plan. There will be outreach
support from the new provision to support children currently in mainstream classes.

Gifted and Talented
Children who are significantly more able, or those with a talent, are included on a register which ensures
they are identified to all staff. They may access specialist provision and work is personalised with
individual targets to ensure they make appropriate progress. Staff with expertise in areas where
children excel work closely with them to provide them with specialist support.

Equal Opportunities
We will treat all children equally, irrespective of ethnic difference, gender, disability or social
disadvantage, to enable them to access a broad and balanced education. Our expectations will not be
influenced by any of these factors. We recognise and value different cultures and religious traditions
amongst our children whilst celebrating shared British values.

Provision for the Disabled
The Governing Body has approved a policy to improve access for all to Harewood Primary School. The
school is committed to a policy of inclusion and wherever possible will adapt to enable equal access to
children or staff with a disability. There is wheelchair access to the school via ramps and there is a
toilet adapted for wheelchairs. A Sound Field System has been introduced in a number of classrooms to
support children with hearing impairment. Mr M Jones holds regular meetings with a group of parents
and children to review the Disability Policy; all parents are welcome to join this group. This policy is
available for scrutiny.

Assessment
Teachers mark children’s work carefully and provide targets for children to work towards. A
highlighting system is used to make marking more visual to children - Pink ~ areas for improvement /
Green ~ targets met and good work/ Yellow ~ gold dust for amazing work. In English and Maths there
is a system called INSIGHT which maps progress.

In English and Maths children have a list of objectives in the front of their books which list all the
expectations for that year group. Teachers date and highlight the statements when children have
demonstrated in their work that they have achieved that objective.

We have PIRA reading rests which children take each term and this provides a reading age, a
standardised score and identifies where any weakness or strengths are so that teachers can address
them.

Termly Reports to Parents
Each term parents will receive a copy of which objectives their child has achieved. They will also
receive a report to indicate if progress is either above, in line, or below expectations for that year
group. This report will also inform parents about the effort and behaviour of their child, attendance
and any special achievements. In addition to this information the end of year report will include general
comments about the year and the outcome of any statutory tests.
