Maria Montessori & Pre School Admissions Policy Catchment Children living in the catchment areas of Indus Valley Grammar School of Intellects which include Khuhra, Gambat, with all its suburban villages, settlements with ambits of comfortable commute distances. Notice of specific sessions required

a) Within twenty-one days of the start of a term, the parents/careers of children currently in attendance must notify the Registration Secretary of any changes to sessions required, for the following term.

b) If the demand for sessions from the parents/careers of children currently in attendance out-weighs availability, the total number of sessions available to any one child is capped at either five or six (depending on availability), so that all the parents/careers of children currently in attendance have a fair opportunity to increase their childs sessions. Furthermore, sessions would only be increased by one per child. If sessions had to be capped at five, but a child already attends six sessions, the sixth session will not be taken away. However, if for any reason, a child already attends seven or eight sessions, then in the case of capping, sessions will be taken away, to reduce their sessions to six.

FMQ- Primary School The Curriculum We offer a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum designed to meet the needs of all our children. Through quality teaching and learning we hope to foster positive attitudes in the children towards all aspects of their learning, their life and their behaviour. The school aims to lay good foundations in knowledge, skills and understanding, and in attitudes, values and beliefs. We teach The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

The Foundation Curriculum is planned and delivered according to the stepping stones which lead to the Early Learning Goals. The Early Learning Goals set out in six broad areas of learning: Personal, social and emotional development Communication, language and literacy Mathematical development Knowledge and understanding of the world Physical development Creative development More information on the Foundation Curriculum is available to parents at the meeting held in July [Admission registration conference] then in sequential need based workshops held throughout the year. Children are taught in a variety of groupings and methods according to the most appropriate for the particular learning activity and individual need. Each subject has been planned across the year in order to cover a wide range of knowledge and skills. Teachers then plan in more detail over each term, half term and week. When planning, teachers consider both teaching strategies and the learning method for the children appropriate and conducive. Work will always be differentiated according to the needs of each child. Assessment Teacher assess individual childs progress in all areas of the curriculum on a daily and weekly basis to ascertain achievement and identifies needs so that future work can be planned for the child (Assessment for Learning). Cross - curricular elements Certain aspects of the curriculum are not taught through discrete subjects but rather through other aspects of school life. Much of the PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) Curriculum is delivered in assemblies, at playtimes and lunchtimes, during circle time and through story. The school also invites visitors into the school to help us with these elements. Religious Education

The agreement is a requirement of Indus Valley Grammar School of Intellects Mission Statement for Excellency of standard of its following sections: FMQ, Primary Section. Maria Montessori Section Reward Systems

A house system exists within the school that encourages a family relationship between children of different age groups. Children are awarded house points for a whole range of reasons including good work and behaviour. Each week these are counted and one house is awarded a point. At the end of the year the house with the most points celebrates their achievement. At the same time a record of individual house points is kept and children are awarded silver and gold certificates when they have reached a certain number of points.

Individual achievements are also celebrated at Well Done Assembly. This takes place fortnightly on Tuesdays. Children chosen for the assembly receive stickers and a postcard to take home. Their achievements are displayed on our hall notice board.

Children are also encouraged to share their achievements outside of school with everybody at assembly each Monday morning.

If we are experiencing problems with your child due to behavioral difficulties we would want to work in partnership with you to sort out the problems. We have found that when home and school establish a genuine partnership to tackle these issues then positive results can be achieved.

Serious or persistent breaches of discipline e.g. bullying, can result in periods of exclusion from school.

Safeguarding Statement IVGSI [Maria Montessori Section and FMQ- Primary Section] is committed to the protection and safety of its pupils. Due to their day to day contact with individual children during school terms, teachers and other school staff are particularly well placed to observe outward signs of abuse, changes in behaviour or failure to develop. All staff at school is aware of the need to alert Social Services when they believe a child has been abused or is at risk of abuse.

Ms. ......................... is the designated teacher for Child Protection at the school. The observations so recorded may be discussed with Administrator and Campus Manager for further advice and course of action.
