Newsletters At Captain Webb Primary School we run a weekly newsletter which is called 'Captains Catch Up '. We use the newsletter to inform you about events we are running, let you know dates for diaries, and showcase some of the work being done by our children. The newsletter is created by Mrs Hanafin (Admin) so if your child has won any awards, or taken part in anything exciting outside of school, please let her know so she can share the good news with our other parents. Below are the newsletters from the past few months - if you have missed a previous edition and would like a copy then please contact Mrs Hanafin and she will be happy to help you (genna.hanafin@taw.org.uk ).

Maths Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering curriculum that allows them to develop as confident responsible citizens equipped with the skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever-changing world, both in the present and the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives. We constantly provide enrichment opportunities (memorable experiences) to engage learners and develop their cultural capital which has been recognised as essential if children are to succeed. We believe that our children should not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, foster a love of learning and leave our school with exceptional independent learning skills. We are fully committed to developing each child's unique potential within a secure and caring environment. We use our Captain Webb Values to promote positive attitudes to learning: Listen Encourage Achieve Respect Nurture At Captain Webb, our intent for mathematics is to teach a rich, balanced and progressive curriculum that helps children develop an ability to solve problems, to reason, to think logically and to work systematically and accurately. We believe that equipping our children with fundamental maths skills will pave pathways to creating resilient, forward-thinking learners, who will continue to build upon these skills in every key stage. Through our maths learning, we provide opportunities which cater for the needs of all individuals and sets them up with the necessary skills and knowledge for them to become successful in their future adventures. We aim to prepare them for a successful working life; we incorporate sustained levels of challenge through varied and high quality activities that use maths to reason, problem solve and develop fluent conceptual understanding in each area ​ Implementation Our pupils leave Captain Webb with the knowledge and skills required to be great and confident mathematicians by embedding a curriculum that allows children to better make sense of the world around them by making connections between mathematics and everyday life. We teach the National Curriculum by adopting the White Rose Maths scheme as a planning tool, but we adapt according to the need of our pupils. This adaptation is based upon summative assessment gap information, ongoing formative teaching judgements and pupil feedback. This ensures that skills and knowledge are built on year by year and sequenced appropriately to maximise learning for all children. ​ Our knowledge-based curriculum introduces new mathematical concepts using a ‘Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract’ approach; enabling all children to experience hands-on learning when discovering new mathematical topics, and allows them to have clear models and images to aid their understanding. Declarative knowledge (arithmetic and basic math skills) is taught daily so that pupils know useful facts and formulae and develop an understanding of relationships and familiar patterns. Procedural knowledge is greatly linked to our calculation policy and enables our pupils to process mathematical information accurately and at speed. Finally, conditional knowledge allows children to apply and embed their knowledge through challenging, rich and sophisticated problems ​ Select to see our long-term and medium term plans below: Read More Nursery - Medium Term Plans Read More Year R - Medium Term Plans Read More Year 1 - Medium Term Plans Read More Year 2 - Medium Term Plans Read More Year 3 - Medium Term Plans Read More Year 4 - Medium Term Plans Read More Year 5 - Medium Term Plans Read More Year 6 - Medium Term Plans Year 1 - Long Term Plans Year 2 - Long Term Plans Year 3 - Long Term Plans Year 4 - Long Term Plans Year 5 - Long Term Plans Year 6 - Long Term Plans Mathmatical Vocabulary Progression Document 2023-25 Key Knowledge Skills - Conditional Knowledge Grids Key Knowledge Skills - Geometry - Position and Direction Key Knowledge Skills - Statistics Key Knowledge Skills Geometry - Properties of shape Key Knowledge Skills - Measure Key Knowledge Skills - Calculation Key Knowledge Skills - Algebra Key Knowledge Skills - FDPRP Key Knowledge Skills - Place Value Key Knowledge Skills - Calculation Impact Mathematics is an important creative discipline that helps children to understand and change the world. This is supported by the opportunities we provide to develop cultural capital. We do this across the curriculum and throughout the school by: Organising events such as STEM Week, allowing pupils to apply their knowledge and skills to cross-curricular concepts or topics Working with global companies such as HSBC to promote financial skills for work, learning and life Giving children the opportunity to use money in real-life contexts (having spending money on trips or going to the local sweet shop in Year 2) Our contextual activities in maths at the end of each unit link to a real-life context which gives children a clear understanding of the importance and purpose of mathematical skills Year 6 undertake an Enterprise project which gives them the opportunity to work with a budget; plan, design and make a product; market a product; engage in the selling process and finally, calculate and understand the importance of profit.

And just as the phonics check has helped more children learn to read, this will ensure more pupils know their times tables.” Nick Gibb, schools minister. In June each year, Year 4 pupils are required to sit a multiplication tables check (MTC). This test is online and will require the children to answer 25 questions on their multiplication knowledge from two to twelves times table. Pupils are given 6 seconds per question with three seconds rest between each question, so the test should last less than 5 minutes. The MTC will establish which pupils’ times table knowledge is at the expected level and will also help identify which pupils are struggling with their times tables so they can get extra support. To help your child prepare for these checks, we progressive introduce multiplication facts from year 1 with the expectation that all facts will be known by the end of Year 4. (See the multiplication Planner). As a school, we also use Time Table Rock Stars. This is an interactive online program which allows your child to practice key facts at speed and allows the teacher to see which facts the children are having difficulty with. Questions on the six, seven, eight, nine and twelve times table are more likely to come up most often and as these are the hardest for most children to learn, it is a good idea to focus on learning these tables with your child. For more information regarding the multiplication tables check, please click the link below. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/multiplication-tables-check-information-for-parents ​ KIRF (Key Instant Recall Facts) At Captain Webb Primary we practise KIRF (Key Instant Recall Facts) daily as part of our Maths Lessons. We strongly believe that knowing these facts is a gateway to become confident mathematicians. The aim is for children to recall these facts instantly as this will not only allow them to access the Maths Curriculum with ease, but also build their sense of number and confidence when working with number. To help your child achieve this crucial fluency target, we ask that you help your child to complete some KIRF based activity at least four times a week as part of our reward homework scheme.

Sécurité en ligne Safer Internet Day 2023 This year we once again took part in Safer Internet Day! Our teachers made sure we had space to talk about what devices we use to access the internet, what we do when we are online, what we like about using the internet and what our worries are. We recorded our thoughts and added them to the Safer Internet Day ‘Video Wall’ where industry leaders and online safety experts will listen to our voices! Click here to watch the videos on what each class did for Safer Internet Day Nos enfants vivent désormais dans un « Village mondial » et il est important que nous travaillions ensemble pour garantir la sécurité de nos enfants à la fois dans le monde réel et en ligne. ​ ​ Comment nous assurons la sécurité des enfants en ligne ​ À l'école primaire Captain Webb, les enfants apprennent à rester en sécurité en ligne en étant conscients de leur conduite (leur propre comportement en ligne), en sachant ce qu'est et comment trouver un contenu approprié et les risques de contact de la part des personnes qu'ils connaissent et des personnes qu'ils connaissent. ne sais pas. ​ La sécurité en ligne est liée à chaque unité de notre programme informatique (voir ci-dessous). Nous bloquons une semaine entière de travaux thématiques pour que les enfants apprennent les aspects spécifiques à l'âge de la sécurité en ligne pendant la « Semaine pour un Internet plus sûr » et l'école est visitée par plusieurs agences extérieures (telles que la NSPCC, Google et la police locale) pour se renseigner sur les problèmes de sécurité en ligne. Notre conseil étudiant joue un rôle actif dans les discussions et la prise de décision concernant tous les aspects de la sécurité, y compris la sécurité en ligne. ​ Nous jouons un rôle actif auprès des parents, rencontrant régulièrement toute personne susceptible d'avoir des inquiétudes quant à la sécurité de son enfant sur Internet. Si vous avez des inquiétudes concernant la sécurité en ligne, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter et à venir parler à l'un de nos experts en sécurité en ligne. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Conseils pour assurer la sécurité de votre enfant en ligne : ​ Sachez ce que vos enfants font en ligne et à qui ils parlent. Demandez-leur de vous apprendre à utiliser des applications que vous n'avez jamais utilisées. Garder l'ordinateur dans une salle familiale signifie que vous pouvez partager l'expérience en ligne de votre enfant – et qu'il est moins susceptible d'agir de manière inappropriée (c'est-à-dire via une webcam). Aidez vos enfants à comprendre qu'ils ne doivent jamais donner de détails personnels à des amis en ligne - les informations personnelles incluent leur identifiant de messagerie, leur adresse e-mail, leur numéro de téléphone portable et toute photo d'eux-mêmes, de leur famille ou de leurs amis. Si votre enfant publie une photo ou une vidéo en ligne, tout le monde peut la modifier ou la partager. Rappelez-leur que n'importe qui peut regarder leurs images et qu'un jour un futur employeur pourrait le faire ! Si votre enfant reçoit des spams/courriers indésirables et des SMS, rappelez-lui de ne jamais les croire, répondez-y ou utilisez-les. Ce n'est pas une bonne idée que votre enfant ouvre des fichiers provenant de personnes qu'il ne connaît pas. Ils ne sauront pas ce qu'ils contiennent - cela pourrait être un virus, ou pire - une image ou un film inapproprié. Aidez votre enfant à comprendre que certaines personnes mentent en ligne et qu'il est donc préférable de garder les amis connectés en ligne. Ils ne devraient jamais rencontrer d'étrangers sans un adulte en qui ils ont confiance. Gardez toujours la communication ouverte pour qu'un enfant sache qu'il n'est jamais trop tard pour dire à quelqu'un si quelque chose le met mal à l'aise. Apprenez aux jeunes comment bloquer quelqu'un en ligne et comment le signaler s'il se sent mal à l'aise. ​ Sites Web utiles Ces sites Web peuvent vous être utiles si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur la sécurité sur Internet : www.ceop.gov.uk - Le Centre contre l'exploitation des enfants et la protection en ligne (CEOP) se consacre à l'éradication des abus sexuels sur les enfants. Il s'agit d'une agence gouvernementale qui fait partie de la police britannique et qui s'occupe principalement de suivre et de traduire les délinquants en justice, directement ou en partenariat avec les forces locales et internationales. www.thinkuknow.co.uk - Le Centre contre l'exploitation des enfants et la protection en ligne (CEOP) a mis en place son propre site Web éducatif qui a été conçu et écrit spécifiquement pour les enfants, les jeunes, les enseignants, les parents et les soignants. www.kidsmart.org.uk - Kidsmart est un site Web de sécurité Internet primé pour les parents et ceux qui travaillent avec des enfants. Il a été développé par l'association caritative Internet pour enfants Childnet International et contient d'excellentes informations sur de nombreuses technologies utilisées par les enfants, avec des conseils sur la façon de « rester en sécurité » en ligne. http://parents.vodafone.com/ - Vodafone a développé ce site Web en collaboration avec mumsnet. Il est très accessible et fournit des informations et des conseils aux parents pour comprendre le monde numérique de leur enfant et pour s'impliquer davantage. Il y a même un test en ligne pour voir combien vous en savez ! Physical Security Systems we have in place In addition to teaching our children how to stay safe online we have installed, on our internet and IT systems, several security systems to block and filter out any inappropriate content. The following are some of the in-built security protection systems put in place, on our behalf by T&W: 1. Password management: This is critical, as this is where we all need to play our part. Passwords can be hacked easily if they do not have a good level of complexity, so to help protect your data we use a good, complex passwords. We never share password or leave them lying around. 2. Email protection – All emails go through a filtering system (Sophos) to ensure they do not contain a virus or from a known phishing source. Sophos is a tool that checks the content of the email very quickly and will let us know if it is safe to open. 3. Internet Filtering – We use a product called Smoothwall, this protects against access to certain internet sites and content that you would not want your children to see. 4. Monitoring of activity - Senso is a cloud based, real time monitoring of activity on school owned devices, designed to highlight [to school staff] users who may be vulnerable or at risk to themselves, at risk to others or behaving inappropriately. Senso indicates a potential concern by raising a “violation” when a keyword, acronym or phrase typed, matches against those found within our libraries. It sends automated alerts to the DSL’s. 5. Anti-Virus Software – Windows Defender. This is designed to detect and remove viruses and other kinds of malicious software from schools computers or laptops. 6. A Firewall - At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet, it monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on our organisation's previously established security policies 7. Multifactor Authentication (MFA) – This is where you not only have a password but use a secondary device (like an app on a phone) as additional confirmation of the users identity. This increases security because even if one credential becomes compromised, unauthorized users will be unable to meet the second authentication requirement and will not be able to access the system. 8. Geofencing - This helps protect devices and accounts from access from certain ‘high risk’ geographical areas. Online Safety Workshops Y ear 5 and Year 6 took part in workshops run by a lady who works with the GK Consultant Services (who specialise in safeguarding for children). The workshops were aimed specifically at teaching the children to understand about online friendships, consents, sharing images and videos, and how to access help when online.

Spelling Curriculum Statement Spelling at Captain Webb ​ Learning to spell has strong links with reading and writing. In reading, the children’s knowledge of the relationship between letters and sounds sets the foundations for them as spellers. Spelling is also a significant aspect of the writing element within the curriculum. If we want children to become confident writers, a strong understanding of spelling and spelling patterns is crucial. As stated in the National Curriculum (2014), it states that ‘Writing down ideas fluently depends on effective transcription: that is, on spelling quickly and accurately through knowing the relationship between sounds and letters (phonics) and understanding the morphology (word structure) and orthography (spelling structure) of words.’ At Captain Webb, we have adopted a whole-school approach to spelling that builds as the children move through the school. Read Write Inc Spelling In years Reception and Year 1 spelling is taught through RWI Phonics. The children in years 2 to 6 have daily spelling sessions which follow the Read Write Inc spelling programme. This programme follows on from the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme with the aim of getting every child to spell effortlessly. It is a standalone programme that has been designed to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum. . There is a daily teacher led spelling session of around 15–20 minutes. Children are assessed during the programme. There are Practice Tests which assess children’s spelling progress using the same format as the statutory assessments in England. This allows us to track individual children’s progress and identify units, words or concepts which we will need to re-teach. How does this programme support your child in learning to spell? ​ RWInc Spelling is an interactive programme which teaches spellings in a fun and engaging way. Each unit is introduced with a short video. It helps children to learn spellings with common patterns and uses rules in order to help them recall spellings as well as teaching exceptions to these rules. A short video to show RWI Spellings in practice. https://youtu.be/CuLGvjOTk6A ​ Daily Sessions consist of: Speed spell which tests children’s knowledge of words from previous units; Spelling Zone with an online introduction to the unit and rules and spelling patterns to be taught that week Dots and Dashes where children count phonemes and the recorded graphemes Rapid Recap of prior learning Word changes –by adding beginnings or endings to words (prefixes and suffixes) Words to Log and learn which helps children to log and learn new or unfamiliar words focusing on spelling patterns and rules. Rules are reviewed and practised through each unit until children can apply the rules in their own writing. Team teach and Four-in-a-row which help children assess their own progress; Jumping red/orange words which tests children’s knowledge of red and orange words (words from the word lists in the National Curriculum in England many of which are not able to be spelt by using sounds- these are often called the common exception , tricky words or High Frequency words). Challenge dictation sentences are available to challenge children to use new spellings. ​ Below, you will find the words banks for each unit of the spelling programme so you can print these and look at them at home with your child. Your child's class teacher will be able to let you know which spelling list they are currently working on at school. ​ Year 2 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 3 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Read More Year 4 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 5 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 6 - Spelling Word Banks Handy Tips for Supporting Your Child with Spelling ​ Practise spelling common exception words regularly. (Known as Red and Orange words) Revisit spellings from previous weeks. Ask your child to explain the rule for the week and get them to give you example words so that you can build up a word bank that can be referred to frequently. Make a note of the high frequency words which you notice your child is spelling wrong (remember that these are quite often RED WORDS and that you ‘Can’t fred a red!’) Play homophone games where you give them a word like right/write and they write you both spellings and show you on the sounds chart which graphemes they would choose to spell them right! Make sure they know which one is which! Play hold a sentence dictation where you give the child a short sentence with one of their spellings in which will help them to understand the meaning of the word and spell and punctuate correctly. Supporting Your Child’s Spelling at Home ​ To help you to support your children at home with their spellings on a weekly basis, the children will be given 6-8 spellings from the unit they are currently on which will follow a set pattern. They will be tested on these at the end of the week. In addition to these your child will also be given 6 red or orange words to learn from the National Curriculum word lists which are words the children are expected to know for their age range.

MFL Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering curriculum that allows them to develop as confident responsible citizens equipped with the skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever-changing world, both in the present and the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives. We constantly provide enrichment opportunities (memorable experiences) to engage learners and develop their cultural capital which has been recognised as essential if children are to succeed. We believe that our children should not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, foster a love of learning and leave our school with exceptional independent learning skills. We are fully committed to developing each child's unique potential within a secure and caring environment. We use our Captain Webb Values to promote positive attitudes to learning: Listen Encourage Achieve Respect Nurture Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. The 2014 National Curriculum for Modern Foreign Languages Appendix A aims to ensure that all children receive: A high-quality languages education which should foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. Teaching should enable pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. At Captain Webb we are committed to ensuring that teaching enables pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. We recognise that competence in another language enables children to interpret, create and exchange meaning within and across cultures. We believe that by teaching MFL we provide the foundation for learning further languages, as well as the means to access international opportunities for study and work later in life. The teaching of French in KS2 provides an appropriate balance of spoken and written language and lays the foundations for further foreign language teaching at KS3. Implementation At Captain Webb we teach French as this is the first language that our feeder secondary schools start with and the language that staff are most familiar with. Children are introduced to French in the EYFS through basic classroom routines. Throughout KS1, children are included in participating in special occasions such as World French Day. This enables the children to develop early language acquisition skills that facilitate their understanding of the patterns of language and how these are similar to , or differ from English. In KS2, French is taught to each class during a weekly timetabled lesson of 45 minutes. Lessons throughout KS2 support the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing whilst in addition learning about Francophone cultures. Children are taught skills to enable them to listen attentively and respond by joining in with rhymes, games and songs. We emphasise the speaking and listening skills over the reading and writing skills. We follow the primary MFL Scheme of work for French provided by La Jolie Ronde which thus ensures coverage and progression across school. Knowledge and skills in French are mapped out across the school from Year 3 – Year 6. At the beginning of a new unit of learning, children have the opportunity to recall prior learning as well as what they would like to find out. This informs the programme of study and also ensures that lessons are relevant and take account of children’s different starting points. Children develop an appreciation of a variety of stories, poems, rhymes and songs (particularly action songs). These are delivered through the curriculum content, as well as through using a variety of native French speakers through the aid of recordings. As confidence grows children are encouraged to record their work through pictures, captions and sentences. Cross curricular links have been identified in PE, music, art and DT, and are taken advantage of in order to deepen learning. In Year 6, children have the opportunity to visit France in order to experience a different language and culture. An After School Club provides children with the experience of learning about Francophone cultures in a fun environment. We believe introducing a physical element into some games serves to reinforce memory. Impact We believe that by the time our children leave our school: Children will be able to communicate with adults and each other in French. Children will have become aware that a language has a structure, and that the structure differs from one language to another having developed their language through the four key skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. Children will learn how the language skills acquired can be applied to a range of different languages. Children will have developed an understanding of Francophone customs and cultures consequently having further respect for others. Children will increase their self-esteem. Children will transfer to KS3 effectively and successfully and will be well prepared to continue and develop their language skills.

Over the past two years we have been working towards achieving a prestigious Artsmark Award which recognises a settings contribution towards the arts. We are delighted to announce that during half term we found out that we have been awarded an Artsmark Gold Award. The Artsmark Award is the only creative quality standard for schools, accredited by Arts Council England. It supports schools to develop and celebrate arts and cultural education, putting creativity and wellbeing at the heart of the curriculum. Artsmark ensures every young person can be creative and access a diverse, high-quality cultural education. We have seen a huge impact upon both children and staff at Captain Webb with initiatives such as Indian drumming on World Music Day as well as extra-curricular dance clubs. Here is some of the feedback we were given by the Artsmark assessors: “You clearly value the arts and recognise their contribution to supporting your pupils' emotional well-being and self-confidence.” ​ “You have used your Artsmark journey to develop children's cultural capital by commissioning various theatre groups, including Loud Mouth Theatre, Hobgoblin Theatre Company and Image Theatre Company, so that every child has enjoyed watching live performances.” ​ “Music is a growing strength within your overall arts offer with lessons provided by specialist music teachers throughout the whole school, including EYFS sessions delivered by 'Music Minors.” ​ “It is great to hear that you are beginning to develop pupil voice through your Arts Committee, and that they have relished the opportunity to work with your new partner, 'Primary Workshops' to plan and deliver Indian drumming workshops throughout the school in celebration of World Music Day.” ​ “Teachers' confidence has increased because of working alongside music specialists. They have also strengthened their fine art skills by participating in training on the use of sketch books, led by Go Sketch.” ​ “Clearly, the dance club specifically for boys was also a successful initiative, with their performance at a local theatre supporting positive learning behaviours.” Captain Webb Primary - Arts Mark Statement of Impact Captain Webb Primary - Arts Mark Statement of Commitment

Our objective at Captain Webb is to develop a curiosity for the subject, as well as an understanding and acceptance of the validity and importance of all types of music, and an unbiased respect for the role that music may wish to be expressed in any person’s life. We are committed to ensuring children understand the value and importance of music in the wider community, and are able to use their musical skills, knowledge, and experiences to involve themselves in music in a variety of different contexts. We provide opportunities for all children to compose, play, perform and enjoy music. Through our music curriculum pupils will gain self-confidence and a sense of achievement. Children will develop their capacity to express ideas and feelings through the medium of sound. Extra-curricular clubs such as our school choir, musical theatre club and instrumental lessons enhance our curriculum offer. Implementation Music is firmly embedded into everyday life at Captain Webb. We deliver a clear and comprehensive scheme of work in line with the National Curriculum through Charanga. Music is taught for one hour weekly. Music lessons in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 are taught by Telford and Wrekin Music and EYFS have music sessions delivered by Music Minors. Utilising specialist teachers ensures knowledge and skills are progressive from the age of 2 to the age of 11 as well as giving our children the opportunity to experience learning instruments from experienced tutors. This also ensures that children receive high quality music provision and that teachers receive valuable, regular CPD. Charanga includes many examples of music styles and genres from different times and places. These are explored through the language of music via active listening, performing and composing activities, which enable understanding of the context and genre. In doing so children gain an understanding into different methods of creating notes, as well as how to read basic music notation. They also learn to compose focussing on different dimensions of music, which in turn feeds their understanding when playing or appraising music. Weekly music lessons are just the start here at Captain Webb. Singing and music underpin everything that we do which is currently being evidenced in our Artsmark journey. One of our popular extra-curricular clubs is our Key Stage 2 Young Voices Group where we make community links and sing at our local Dawley Christmas Light Switch On. We also perform in homes for the elderly which both the children and adults thoroughly enjoy. Our extra-curricular clubs and ‘Composer/artist of the Week’ enhance our cultural capital and children hear music from Beethoven right through to Destiny’s Child. Singing is also embedded in our weekly singing assemblies and we are proud to say we are a Sing Up school that supports children in finding their voices. There is plenty of opportunity for children to sing and play instruments as part of our Captain Webb’s Got Talent showcase every summer. Children at Captain Webb regularly experience live music in the form of theatre shows and live bands. Live performances add to the music offer all children receive and provide opportunities for Pupil Premium children that they might not otherwise experience. Impact All children will benefit from a high-quality music education which engages and inspires them to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians. It will increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they will develop a growing musical vocabulary that allows them to critically engage with music. Teaching and learning of music is a reflective process for the children as they are given the opportunities to assess themselves and their peers. The children also celebrate their success and skills with their peers and wider audiences. We assess through teacher assessment, pictures and video evidence which captures each child’s progress throughout the year. We utilise pupil voice regularly as a means of engaging children in their own learning and what they would like to see in their Captain Webb music journey. As part of our music provision, we achieved an Excellence in Music Provision Award from The Music Partnership and our Year 3 pupils received a Distinction in Music Performance from the University of West London.

At Captain Webb Primary School we try hard to make our school uniform as affordable and accessible to parents as is possible. To this extent we have our uniform in navy blue, which is readily available from most retailers, and are happy to accept black or grey trousers and skirts. We do not insist that the uniform is logoed, but we do have a supplier that can provide logoed uniform, which is good quality and at a reasonable price (the company was voted for by the parents). To further help parents with the cost of purchasing uniform we have some second hand uniform available in school, and the school provides a PE kit for each child. For our full uniform policy, including any seasonal changes to uniform, or what to do if you have any concerns, please see below: School Uniform Policy Our school uniform is provided by I Want Workwear Dynamic Court, Halesfield 24, Telford, TF7 4NZ www.Iwantworkwear.co.uk You can view and order the full range online Le kit d'exercice physique ​ T-shirt blanc Short PE marine ou noir Baskets ou tennis Pantalon de jogging noir, marine ou gris pour extérieur PE ​ ​ ​ ​
