1 Greek School of Ayia Triada Midlands - Greek School of Ayia Triada Birmingham Information Pack for Parents We welcome you all back to Greek School of Ayia Triada and we hope you all had a lovely, exciting and hot summer! We would particularly like to welcome our new Nursery and Reception children and their families and all those of you who return back to school this year. We would also like to congratulate all of the pupils who have succeeded in the GCSE and GCE examinations, as well as all of the pupils who have achieved the best attendance last year Dr. Tryfonos Stella, Headteacher Katerina Jordanou, Chairlady School Committee Page 0 of 18

2 Dear Parents, Thank you for your interest in our school, a school for which we are very proud. In the past few years, we have had unprecedented success in all of the objectives set with: A ContinYou assessment that granted us the Bronze Award and recommended us for the Gold Award which only few supplementary schools have been granted up to 2013 (currently in the process of completing the quality framework for the Gold Award, our target is to achieve this too by the end of the school year 2014). Record year, once again, on GCE and GCSE in Modern Greek Language results. This is a different school to the one that existed some years ago. A team of highly trained, competent, enthusiastic and efficient teachers, as well as well-organised management committee work together, along with many parents, with the aim to enable children to thrive, to be happy and feel safe in a welcoming and motivating school environment. We are a school which provides a good opportunity for all students to achieve their potential in the Greek language, to be part of celebrations relating to Greek and Cypriot customs and to their Greek-Orthodox origins, to learn dance and to achieve successfully language acquisition up to GCE A-level in Greek. Our School offers an excellent opportunity for social networking of children within the Greek community and who come from various areas in the Midlands. Older students can now also take up the challenge of the Language Explorer Project (from the summer of 2013) to practice the Greek language, to network with Greekspeaking children from different countries and to develop social skills that are essential for life. The participation to this project, which involves a trip to Cyprus or Greece with other Greek children, will also enable them to build up their network of friends and to learn a little bit more about the history, culture and tradition of their native country Cyprus and Greece. This brochure includes important information with regard to the activities of school for the year and we hope you find it helpful. Yours Sincerely Dr.Tryfonos Stella Directly the school on our new contact number: greekschoolayiatriada@gmail.com/ stellatryfonos@yahoo.com/ or via school website s contact form By POST: Magnet Centre, Park Approach, B23 7SJ, Erdington, Birmingham All information relating to the school can be found on our school website and our facebook page and group.

All children must be in their school uniform for the celebrations (see below). School Uniform Policy 01 st September 2013 Dear parents, Our school uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of our school. It is our school policy that all children wear school uniform when participating in school-organised events outside normal school hours( for example 28 th October 1940 celebration, Christmas, 25 th March 1821 e.t.c). Aims and objectives: Our policy on school uniform is based on the notion that school uniform: promotes a sense of pride in the school; engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school; is practical and smart; identifies the children with the school; makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance; is regarded as suitable wear for school and good value for money by most parents; The School uniform is as follows: Long sleeved plain school blouse (white), or shirt/ blue tie for all boys Grey or black trousers for both boys and girls. School badge attached to the shirt/ blouse Black shoes for both boys and girls We would be grateful if this policy is respected and applied by all parents and children. We now stock some good quality school badges. Parents are required to pay in advance for the school badges which cost 10 for two. Please contact the school if you would like to order. Page 3 of 18

7 Registration Policy for Reception Year students New Updated Registration Policy 01/11/2011 (in effect from 1 st January 2013) The Greek School of Ayia Triada Birmingham will accept and consider applications for registration of children to enroll in the Reception Year, on condition that by the 1 st September (of the year the child will enroll in the school) the child has reached the age of 4 and 1/2 years old. Successful School-Parent Partnership As parents you want your child to be safe, happy and successful. We genuinely believe that with regular communication we can help you and us to achieve these desirable aims by: [1] Providing a vibrant twenty first century school [2] Safety: a. Bullying of any kind is taken seriously; permanent exclusion is undertaken b. Misconduct in and out of the classroom is also taken seriously and there is a behaviour policy in place to address behaviours that would challenge the safety of pupils or adults. [3] Setting up a practical and systematic parents-teachers communication system. Parents and teachers evenings It is important that parents attend parents evenings. It is an opportunity for parents of children to find out how their child is progressing at school and an ideal time to speak to staff if parents have any concerns or issues regarding their child. All parents evenings are from 7.30pm pm for all branches of Ayia Triada School (Erdington- Mon, Erdington-Wed, Tamworth, Worcester, Stourbridge, Cannock) and from 2:00pm-3:00pm Erdington-Sat unless otherwise stated (times may change nearer the time). Parents will receive reminders prior to the date of each parent evening. During the parents evenings is expected that parents will receive the Progress Reports of their child, and will have a discussion with the teacher of their child concerning the portfolio of the work that is carried out in class as well as the child s attendance. At the day and time of parents evenings: In order to avoid queuing, the school of Ayia Triada has an appointment system applied at all cases. For the purposes of this, each teacher has a list of all the parents of the children of his/her class and Page 6 of 18

8 allocates time to each parent to meet the teachers. This list is placed at the entrance of the classroom. Due to this parents should be at school at the time of the parent evening (at 07:30pm, or at 02:00pm if Saturday School). At the date and time of parents evenings parents have the responsibility of their own children. No child shall be unattended and therefore punctuality is important. Please also note that the teacher sees both parent and child at the time of the appointment. Homework Homework plays a fundamental role in a student s learning and development at Greek School of Ayia Triada. It extends and supports the work done in the class but also, importantly, it helps students to learn to work independently and to organise their own time. All pupils attending Greek School of Ayia Triada have a structured and systematic homework plan across the year. This always involves, reading, spelling, studying of the new vocabulary and it does not exceed the 20 minutes of study. We therefore encourage parents, even if the child misses a lesson, to regularly check the homework of their child. Even in the case of absence parents are advised to contact the teacher of the class to be updated. Greek lessons are usually 3 hours a week and therefore we believe that homework is another opportunity for children to practice language in a place other than school. For students taking GCSE and GCE the homework tasks are slightly different. An essay task is added to homework. Reading Books and Textbooks All textbooks are provided free of charge at the Greek School of Ayia Triada, however if a child looses or damages his/her book, they are charged 10 per each second new copy. Activity books are always kept at school whilst reading books are always taken home. Code of Conduct At Greek School of Ayia Triada, our aim is for all students to aim for excellence and work to the best of their ability. In order for this to occur, we have a clear set of expectations for classroom behaviour. We expect students to: Be on time and be prepare to work Follow instructions and be safe Page 7 of 18 Put up their hand if they wish to contribute Not disturb other If having been reminded of the rules, students choose not to comply with these rules, and then they will be held accountable of their actions. This might mean removal from the class, referral to the headteacher or letter will be sent at home requesting their suspension from the school for some time (depending on the seriousness of action). Parents will be informed in all cases. We also aim for our school to be safe and happy environment for everyone. To this end, while moving around the school, we expect students to: Behave Safely and Responsibly Be Civilised, Friendly and show Respect to all adults (teachers, parents, other school staff) Help us care for the environment Further details of this code are given by the teachers or displayed in printed form in the classrooms. Serious or persistent misbehaviour will result in further actions taken by the school.

9 Religious Education The religious education is statutory and non-denominational in character. All students must, by law, study RE throughout their school career. In their English schools students have the opportunity to learn a little bit of most of the known faiths and religions and they are encouraged to appreciate and respect diversity. Likewise, in our school, the pupils have the opportunity to expand their knowledge about the Greek Orthodox religion. That is to learn about the major saints, celebrations and events of Christianity (Christmas, Easter, Evangelismos, name-days, the church as a spiritual place: meaning of icons and objects) Having said this, as Greek-Cypriot Language School which operates under the umbrella of the Cypriot Ministry of Education and Culture, EFEPE and the Cyprus Educational Mission in the UK, we ensure that our students receive RE Education and they learn about the Greek Orthodox religion, customs, tradition following an agreed MOEC syllabus and following guidelines of the UK Department of Education. For further queries concerning RE education in our school please do not hesitate to contact the teacher of your child or headteacher directly. Additionally to learning activities, the first Saturday of each month children visit, with their teachers, the St. Loucas and Holy Trinity Church (if there is a service at the time. Charging for School Activities The Greek School of Ayia Triada wishes to provide for all students the best possible educational opportunities available within the funds allocated by the education authority. Despite of this, however, our school runs mostly with limited funds available due to the nature of the education provided and the fact that the school operates as a supplementary school. The past couple of years the school has experienced unprecedented termination of financial support received for the running expenses from the local councils due to the general financial crisis. The main financial support is now the one granted by the Cypriot Ministry of Education and Culture (in the form of teachers payment, stationery and book supply) the tuition fees we receive from the parents every year and fund raising activities organized by management committee. It is recognized, however, that educationally valuable activities have been, and will continue to be, dependent on financial contributions in whole or in part from the parents. Without that financial support, the school will find it quite impossible to maintain the quality and breadth of the educational programme provided for students. The concern of our school is to keep financial contributions to a reasonable minimum and to ensure as far as possible that all students are able to participate irrespective of their circumstances. The law, concerning the mainstream education recognizes that charges may be made to parents in certain defined circumstances-provided that each school has identified the activities for which charges will be made and has explained the basis on which charges may be reduced or waived for certain students. The same applies to our school. Having said this, parents will be charged for activities taking place outside school time, day visits, including all allowable cost (child s travel and subsistence costs, entrance fees to museums castles, theatres etc, insurance costs for the duration of the trip. Charges may be waived or reduced for children whose parents contacted the school and applied for this due to personal circumstances.

10 Behaviour Strategy Pupil Information. Mission Statement It is the right of every pupil in our school to learn in a safe and comfortable environment. It is the responsibility of every pupil to contribute to our community in a positive manner by following the golden rules. Bring pen, pencil. Do as teacher asks first time without question. No put downs. Pupils who follow these rules and provide a positive example to our community will be rewarded for their good behaviour. Rewards include praise logs, praise postcards and our Greek School of Ayia Triada Certificate which can be awarded at bronze, silver, gold or platinum levels. Whilst the majority of pupils behave well, those pupils who break our school rules will be subject to consequences. This is because poor behaviour spoils the learning and life chances of everyone. If you misbehave, a meeting will take place with the teacher to resolve any differences you may have. This may be accompanied by a sanction such as a detention as a consequence for your poor behaviour. You may be kept for ten minutes at the end of a day without prior warning to your parent. For very serious incidences(such as violent or abusive behaviour) the Management committee will be notified which will decide whether or not further measures need to be taken. All misbehaviour is accompanied by a conduct log which is recorded on official letter and will be sent to your parents. Depending on the seriousness of the incident, parents might be call to visit the school for a meeting with the headteacher and the management committee. Your teacher will monitor your conduct log records and your parents will be told if you have been given five or more conduct logs within half a term or if there is a serious incident that warrants parental support and intervention. Also the teacher may also monitor your behaviour using a Progress Diary Report system. This is designed to show teachers and parents that you recognise the need to respond to sanctions and improve your behaviour. Your parent will be asked to review and sign the report each lesson. A reward will be given to pupils who are successful following a period on report. Page 7 of 18
