2 We are proud to be an inclusive comprehensive school. We understand that young people today have many pressures placed upon them from an early age. Our role is to create a happy, stimulating learning environment that gives every child the confidence and resilience to face these pressures head on. We have high expectations of all of our students. At The Henry Beaufort School there are no limitations to individual success. We acknowledge the fundamental role that we play in the academic and moral education of young people. We celebrate the success of our students at every opportunity and take delight in the buzz and energy around the school site well beyond the official ending of the school day. We do not accept mediocrity or complacency. We understand the challenges that accompany our role as educationalists and we continue to work to find ways to refine and improve our practise. This is underpinned by our aim to be outstanding in everything that we do.

19 What is pupil premium? How do I apply? If parents complete a form and send it in to school, we can check their eligibility on the Hampshire Catering website. It will give an immediate answer and if it s a yes the Free School Meal markers can be applied in SIMS. If it s no then we will write to parents for further proof of their eligibility. What is the criteria? Income Support Income-based Jobseeker s Allowance Income-related Employment Support Allowance Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 Child Tax Credit, provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual income, as assessed by HM Revenue and Customs, that does not exceed 16,190 Guarantee element of State Pension Credit What if my circumstances change? Hampshire Catering Service use the parents National Insurance Number to check eligibility, so when personal circumstances change a warning appears on the HCS printout the school receives daily. Once this happens a new form is sent to the parent asking for proof of their eligibility. Normally a student will remain on FSM for a further 6 weeks pending a new application. How can it help my child? Revision guides Trips Meals Tuition It s a good idea for the application to be renewed each year as this helps to keep school records up to date.

30 Work Experience Mrs Hill

31 Provides an experience of what it s like to work & be part of the workforce. Different experience to being in school Increases employability May help to confirm future career plans Improves understanding of enterprise & business structures Most schools no longer offer work experience due to costs, organisation & staffing

32 Increasing demands on curriculum time Smoother transition into work experience sadly some placements were lost over the summer holidays and some of our more vulnerable students found the time delay difficult to manage. No controlled assessments or NEAs at this time of year.

33 Anything within reason-some placements are unsuitable for under 16s. risky work placements, e.g. food, animals, vehicles will require additional checks Can go out of Hampshire, but we are unable to carry out Health & Safety checks out of the county and therefore parents need to take full responsibility for these placements. No splitting between different placements Cannot be paid No unsociable hours

34 Database in school for students to use. No direct IBM applications this year. Often the best links are those from families & friends however, ensure this is an experience of work which takes students out of their familiar environment. Encourage your child to take an active part in finding their own placement don t do it for them!

35 Hand in to school reception no later than Monday 8 th January Please ensure the address is clear & complete Placements cannot be authorised without valid Employer s Liability Insurance

36 We arrange Health & Safety checks through Hampshire County Council. The school pays for the 40 cost per student. We will contact you with details of the outcome of the checks when we receive it. We will contact the employer to confirm the placement for your child, but the student is expected to make contact too - thanking them for the opportunity & establishing further details

37 Students make their own way to and from work. Students & employer fill in work experience log book A member of Henry Beaufort staff will be allocated to each student this member of staff will contact the employer & where possible arrange a visit to see the student & supervisor in the workplace If the student is ill or unable to attend work, the employer and the school must be informed If there is a problem with the placement, please contact the school (details in log book) Students should thank employer at the end of the week, e.g. card/letter

38 Evaluation & feedback at school. Log book and any work experience letters, certificates & references are put into Record of Achievement folders ready for college/apprenticeship interviews in Year 11. Please be prepared to see a difference in your child following work experience it does wonders for maturity, confidence and an appreciation of you as working people. Any questions? Please ask Mrs Hill
