With deep regard for its strong Church Foundation and the National Society’s Statement of Entitlement Wootton-By-Woodstock School seeks to:

   •   Ensure that all those associated with the School can feel at ease with the church; to have knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith and to feel comfortable in
       exploring and expressing their own religious beliefs.
   •   Nurture the school’s strong ethos, which is based in key Christian values, but without exerting pressure to believe. The School’s Christian values are: friendship,
       service, courage, koinonia, creativity, faith, stewardship, peace, hope, generosity, wisdom, honesty, thankfulness, compassion, justice, forgiveness, humility and
       reverence.
   •   Enable pupils to know about and understand Christianity as a living faith that influences the lives of people worldwide and as the religion that has most shaped British
       culture and heritage.
   •   Contribute to the development of pupils’ own spiritual/philosophical convictions, exploring and enriching their own beliefs and values.
   •   Develop in our pupils an understanding of, and respect for, other major world faiths, enabling them to learn about their impact on society, culture and the wider world.
   •   Welcome all children from the neighbourhood irrespective of religion or belief, race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability or disability,
       opinion or family background.

Through its nurturing culture Wootton-by-Woodstock Church of England Primary School also aims to:

   •   Inspire creativity, foster spiritual growth, engender respect and cultivate responsibility.
   •   Provide a happy, safe and caring environment for learning where everyone is valued for their own individual talents and personality;
   •   Deliver a high quality personalised education across a broad curriculum that celebrates individuality, secures emotional stability, and enables physical development,
       health awareness and intellectual fulfilment.
   •   Present in particular, opportunities for children to develop an appreciation of the arts and the environment.
   •   Be a learning community that provides development opportunities for pupils, parents, staff, governors and students.
   •   Be an active establishment at the heart of village life.
   •   Attain maximum performance in statutory tests.
   •   Achieve high standards of behaviour

Geography   Long term planning was highly successful in ensuring         Displays, deep dive, learning walk, Sharepoint
            that explicit geography topics are taught and covered
            skills in progression. Learning walks were clear
            evidence of geography provision and demonstrated
            differentiation and challenge. Assessments are being
            recorded on TT and, over time, this will demonstrate
            how well pupils progress. Little evidence of work is
            available on Sharepoint to date. Deep Dive showed
            good range of evidence of well taught geography over
            the three terms in school.

Computing   All pupils return work on Showbie and access teacher         Subject lead monitoring, iPads
            feedback. Highly useful during Covid_19 crisis as
            handling work and cross contamination much reduced!
            Evidence limited as Atmos updated iPads and all
            previously stored work was deleted. Pupils highly
            skilled at using iPads; learn quickly and help the
            teaching staff.

Art         Limited success overall due to Covid19 not enabling          Subject lead monitoring, scrutiny, Sharepoint
            teachers to use and continue to develop the habits

            The whole school took part in a drawing session with
            links to the topic of Plants. It was a successful project,
            enjoyed by pupils but exposed some lack of confidence
            in the use of drawing media. Overall, most pupils
            would benefit from more drawing practice and they
            should be given frequent opportunities to do so as part
            of their cross curricular learning.
            In Terms 3 and Term 4 KS1 children carried out several
            painting projects focusing on colour mixing, use of
            powder paint and watercolour. This practice had a high
            impact on their ability to handle the basic painting
            media and tools; it has established good foundations for
            further development of skills. There is some evidence
            of experimenting with painting in KS2 like watercolour
            in small scale painting (slices of fruit) or use of gold
            (Icons) in Terms 3 and Term
            4. All year groups studied and created art in response to
            the works of a famous artist in Term 3 and Term 4. This
            continued in Term 5 as part of the home learning tasks.

Projects on Icons were successful and resulted in a
                                                        number of beautiful art works created by the children.
Areas for Improvement
   •   Focus on reading and vocabulary development as basic recovery curriculum
   •   Create clear success criteria and LOs
   •   Low ability maths development, and, recovery plan - number
   •   Increase resilience and growth mindset in all children - recovery curriculum
   •   More pupils to reach higher standard in writing and maths c/f
   •   Ensure that all children are aware of next steps in learning c/f
   •   Further work to advance drawing and painting skills
