HEADTEACHER'S REPORT TO THE GOVERNING BODY OF CLAPHAM MANOR PRIMARY SCHOOL & CHILDREN’S CENTRE FOR THE SPRING TERM 2014

Introduction

Summer term 2014 at Clapham Manor has had a strong focus the arts and sport.

This year’s summer music concert organised by Karen Parker (music teacher with responsibility for the arts), was a fantastic celebration of the children’s progress and dedication to music. 160 parents were entertained by over 80 children, showcasing their talents by performing in the two school choirs, jazz band, orchestra and in several group arrangements. During the buffet reception, parents communicated their enjoyment and reported that they could see a distinct improvement in children’s ability from the previous year.

An uplifting performance from the choir

In June, Suzanne Wood (art club teacher) and Karen Parker organised an art gallery to display the creative work children had carried out during the term. Also exhibited were the submissions for the annual ‘Take one picture’ competition, these were in a variety of mediums and in 1,2 and 3D formats. This was an opportunity for children to share their excellent work with parents, friends and staff as the whole school visited the exhibition.

The 2013-14 Physical Education and Sports Grant focused on pupil behaviour, health and wellbeing. As part of this programme a PE teacher has been working with the children, playing a variety of sports and running an afterschool basket ball session. To embed this positive impact and extend children’s enjoyment, an additional PE teacher has been coaching children every morning during the summer term, supporting staff by working with groups of children during break times.

Clapham Manor has experienced a variety of sporting success this term; the football team continued their winning streak of four games in a row by beating Lyndhurst Primary 5 – 1. A team competed in the Quad Kids event, taking first place and Clapham Manor won the first annual collaborative

This year’s Mini Olympics event was a huge success, children enjoyed obstacle courses, football and running and egg and spoon races.

As part of the programme to energise and enrich break times for the children, a new football table has been sought; this means all children have access to this feature now. Ms Grace has worked with staff to zone the playground into targeted activity areas, this is supported by the development of resource stocked trollies designed to capture and retain children’s interest. Last year’s Olympics sparked the children’s interest in table tennis, to promote this fun form of exercise;the existing table was upgraded by the purchase of three new all-weather tables, two permanently fixed in each playground and a portable one.

New Food Laboratory

Building work on the food laboratory is nearing completion, the room will then have to be deep cleaned and outfitted with resources and equipment needed, ready for use in September. The room will consist of eight cooking work stations; these are set out against the walls, leaving room for tables and chairs in the middle. Work outfitting the larder area (previous SENCo office) is underway, the dishwasher and washing machine will be relocated to this area, along with dry and chilled goods.

Lambeth Food Flagship Programme – hosted at Clapham Manor

In July 2013 the Government published ‘The School Food Plan’, its focus is onimproving children’s academic performance through improved eating habits, studies have shown well-nourished children fare better at school. It is intended to instil a love of, growing, cooking and eating good food through a multifaceted curriculum. This leads from the provision of high quality, nutritious and exciting food at school, served in a positive and inviting environment.

Lambeth Local Authority have made a bid for the role of the Inner London Food Flagship Borough, following the initial bid and interview the borough hosted a day long visit by representatives of Greater London Authority and Government. Clapham Manor was invited to host the final stage of this visit, providing a venue for local organisations to display their excellent work for the community. Following a question and answer session visitors were given a tour to look at how healthy eating can be delivered successfully in a school. The tour of the Olympic playground growing beds, nature garden and afterschool club was completed by a visit to the new food laboratory where visitors were able to see the type of environment the new curriculum would be taught in.

STRUCTURE / PREMISES / HEALTH & SAFETY

Resource Meeting – Wednesday 25th June 2014

Premises & Health & Safety Report

New Building:

There is no news from the local authority regarding replacement of the windows.

Original Building:

Shaun Child project manager from Potter Raper and Tom Weal project manager from United House met with Ben Dickey (Governor for Health & Safety), Russell and Eileen to discuss the repair of the existing windows in the old building. The works is planned to take place over the summer holiday and will most likely run into the autumn term (worst case scenario until November).

United House are the unofficial contractors for the works (they are still waiting on a purchase order being raised by Lambeth). They would like to start putting up scaffolding before the summer holiday, this is only possible in the Reception playground during the last week of term as the children can use this time as a transition period to get used to the infant playground or possibly visit the children’s centre. The plan is to take the scaffolding down as the work progressed, this would mean that the Reception playground would be finished for the new children to start in September. The scaffolding will continue to be put up around the junior playground, with storage behind allocated in the corner of the junior playground. The children attending the holiday club will be able to use the Olympic playground and top half of the junior playground safely. The works to the hall can be carried when the holiday club is closed. Window repair in the infant playground can be started during the holiday.

A quote for the flat roof on the original building has been obtained, £8,450, however this relies on using the scaffolding from the window replacement. United house have a roofing company they have used before and would be happy to work with them whilst repairing our windows as they know their standards of health and safety etc. We have requested a quote.

Health & Safety

The Statutory Health and Safety audit scheduled for 23rd June was cancelled by Patrick Howell, this will be rescheduled. Ben Dickey has agreed to be involved in consultation regarding windows as health and safety govenor.

Works to be carried out – Summer 2014

Due to the disruption of the window works only minimal, in house repairs and maintenance are planned

Delayed from half term – painting of top hall turner staircase & hall outside
Depending on roof repair – repainting / repair to Deputy’s room and new SENCo room top floor.
Small decoration & repair works to hall, hallways, doors & walls.
