Farlingaye recognises the importance of the individual, values all its students equally and strives to ensure that they have the opportunity to experience success. We publicly acknowledge their achievements with pride. Farlingaye fosters good relationships between students, parents, staff, governors and the wider community. Community development is a strong feature of our work . We expect a high standard of behaviour and aim to encourage a sense of responsibility in our students, not only for themselves, but towards everyone with whom they are in contact. All staff are committed to improving the quality of learning for all students within a framework which recognises the uniqueness of the individual and the interdependence of all. We seek to prepare all our students for the future beyond the school years. We have high expectations of all our students, both academically and socially. We encourage co-operation, mutual respect and sensitivity towards others regardless of their race, gender or age and aim to develop a concern for the environment. Students are encouraged to cultivate a positive attitude to personal study and regular homework. 7 Farlingaye High School Code of Conduct In Farlingaye we believe everyone has the following rights: the right to be safe; the right to learn; the right to be treated with respect. The one rule which applies to all of us in school is: Everyone will act with courtesy and consideration to others at all times. This means that: 1. You always try to understand the other person’s point of view This means you should have tolerance of each other’s strengths and weaknesses, regardless of gender, race, disability or age. You avoid upsetting other people verbally, physically or through technology. 2. In class you always ensure that others have the right to learn. This means: prompt arrival at the start of each lesson with everything you need; beginning and ending the lesson in a courteous and orderly way; listening carefully and following instructions; helping each other when appropriate; being quiet and sensible at all times. 3. You move quietly around the school. This means: keeping to the left in corridors and on stairs; being ready to help others by opening doors, offering to carry things and letting others pass; never running, barging or shouting; queuing sensibly and quietly at the Bus Park. 4. You always speak politely to everyone. This means: saying “Yes, Sir” or “Yes, Miss” when the register is being called; saying “Please” and “Thank you” when asking for something; avoiding shouting as it is always discourteous. 5. You keep the school clean and tidy so that it is a welcoming place of which we can all be proud. This means: putting all litter in the bins even when it doesn’t belong to you; looking after the rooms by keeping walls and furniture clean and unmarked; taking particular care of wall displays; taking care not to damage the trees and plants in the grounds. 6. Out of school Walking locally, travelling on the bus or out with a school group, you always remember that the school’s reputation depends on the way you behave. 8 Farlingaye High School Current Curriculum Plan Number of 100 minute sessions each fortnight Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Mathematics 4 4 4 English 4 4 4 Science 4 4 4 History 2 2 2 Geography 2 2 2 Technology 2 2 2 French 3 3 + 1 literacy 3 + 1 Numeracy German 0 2 French 2 German 2 French 2 German Art 1 1 1 Drama 1 1 1 Music 1 1 1 ICT 1 1 1 PE 4 3 3 PSHE/Citizenship 0* 0* 0** RE 1 1 1 *In Years 7 and 8 students have PSHE half-days twice a year ** In Year 9, PSHE is on a carousel with other subjects Parents have the right to withdraw their children from religious education.

The Ofsted report is available on the internet or from the School Office. It was fantastic, with the school being designated “outstanding” in every area of the school. Here are a few quotes:- “Pupils make outstanding progress because teaching is excellent at all stages throughout the school.” “Standards are well above average by the end of Year11. Pupils make outstanding progress from a broadly average attainment on entry to the school.” “Pupils are keen to take part in the wide range of musical, dramatic and sporting activities out of school time.” “Relationships are excellent. Pupils support each other in lessons and are considerate to each other in and around school.” “Teaching is usually fast paced and challenging. The great majority of lessons provide activities that ensure the most able pupils do extremely well, and that pupils who learn more slowly are well supported to help them achieve as well as they can.” “Disabled pupils and those with special educational needs make excellent progress. Support staff encourage pupils to work independently or with other pupils, and to solve problems themselves. These pupils become confident in using the skills they gain.” “The Headteacher provides outstanding direction for the school to maintain its strengths and to eliminate weaknesses, however minor. She is exceptionally well supported by all other leaders and staff.” “Visits to universities, field trips, drama and art events, and several residential trips all support and enrich pupils’ learning. Along with activities and exceptionally good displays in school that highlight are, science and literature, they also promote pupils’ spiritual, moral, cultural development extremely well.” Students in the sixth form behave outstandingly well. Their attendance is above average. They have extremely positive views about the school. Teaching in the sixth form is outstanding. Teachers have excellent subject knowledge. They have an extensive knowledge of how well each student in their classes makes progress and what they need to support their learning. 12 Farlingaye High School School Uniform As well as giving a sense of belonging to the school, uniform is also important in helping to establish a good working atmosphere.

Farlingaye High School Admissions Procedures The school has its own protocol for admissions for compulsory aged students. For admissions policy 2016/17, please refer to the school website. The Governors have agreed a PAN of 297 students for years 7 to 11. Complaints Procedure School governing bodies are required to have in place a procedure for dealing with complaints. It is expected that all complaints will be referred to the school in the first instance. In situations where it has not been possible to settle a complaint through this process parents can refer the matter to the Education Funding Agency or Ofsted. The Governing Body has recently adopted a revised Complaints Procedure, details of which can be found on the school website. Parents/Carers should note that it is the wish of the Governing Body that the school deals with all complaints quickly, effectively and as informally as possible. We encourage all parents to let us know of any concerns they may have. We have a commitment to try to solve all problems. Parents who have any general concerns should make an appointment with either the tutor, Year Co-ordinator or a senior member of staff, as they see fit. We will endeavour to see you as quickly as is possible. Any serious concerns or complaints should be addressed by letter directly to the Headteacher who will share this information with the Chair of Governors. Parents/Carers of students who do not live with them We try to ensure that when a student’s parents don’t live together, they are both kept informed of school events and their child’s progress. It is helpful if parents tell us that they wish additional copies of letters and information to be posted or emailed to them. Please also give us the additional mobile numbers so we can ensure you receive any Year Group text messages that are sent out. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you feel you are not receiving relevant information or feel we could involve you more. 17 Farlingaye High School Summary of GCSE examination success 2015 These were our best ever results; A superb 31% of grades were A* and A level; 72% of students achieved 5A*-C including English and Maths; An amazing third of students achieved at least five A/A* grades; Our Maths results were the best in the county for the second year running ; The results below are our top achievers.

They may drop one of these after the AS examinations. Many decide to retake modular papers during Year 13 and those students who continue a subject to A2 never ‘cash in’ their grades. For these reasons it is impossible to publish final AS results that we would consider to be accurate. If you would like further information on our AS results at the end of Year 12, please contact Mr Piddington (Deputy) or Ms Hargadon (Headteacher) Student destinations 24 Destination of Year 13 students in 2015 Destination of Year 11 students in 2015 Higher Education = 94% (including 9% taking a gap year before Higher Education) Employment/Apprenticeship = 6% Farlingaye Sixth Form = 86% Employment/training = 4% Further Education = 10% Farlingaye High School GCE A LEVEL EXAMINATION RESULTS 2015 Gender Entered A* A B C 16 0 6 6 3 All 1 0 0 0 0 Boys 15 0 6 6 3 Girls 9 0 1 4 4 Art(Photography) All 9 0 1 4 4 Girls 4 2 0 2 0 Art(Textiles) All 1 1 0 0 0 Boys 3 1 0 2 0 Girls 42 8 8 6 5 Biology All 16 1 5 1 1 Boys 26 7 3 5 4 Girls 42 5 14 14 7 Business & Economics All 24 3 6 9 5 Boys 18 2 8 5 2 Girls 36 5 13 5 8 Chemistry All 18 2 7 2 5 Boys 18 3 6 3 3 Girls 7 0 0 2 2 Drama All 3 0 0 1 1 Boys 4 0 0 1 1 Girls 21 1 2 10 6 English Language All 9 0 1 3 3 Boys 12 1 1 7 3 Girls 45 5 15 17 3 English Literature All 14 1 4 5 0 Boys 31 4 11 12 3 Girls 8 1 2 2 3 French All 4 1 0 2 1 Boys 4 0 2 0 2 Girls 8 3 2 1 1 Further Maths All 8 3 2 1 1 Boys 0 0 0 0 0 Girls 164 11 16 32 57 General Studies All 76 4 3 14 30 Boys 88 7 13 18 27 Girls 20 4 4 5 3 Geography All 14 3 2 4 2 Boys 6 1 2 1 1 Girls 2 1 1 0 0 German All 2 1 1 0 0 Girls 48 4 16 12 7 History All 17 1 5 4 4 Boys 31 3 11 8 3 Girls 20 0 1 2 4 Information Technology All 15 0 1 1 3 Boys 5 0 0 1 1 Girls Subject Art U=Ungraded D 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 4 2 1 0 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 2 0 4 3 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 35 16 19 3 2 1 0 0 7 2 5 6 4 2 E 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 3 5 0 0 0 3 1 2 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 6 4 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 4 3 1 U 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 3 3 0 25 Farlingaye High School Subject GCE A LEVEL EXAMINATION RESULTS 2015 (continued) Gender Entered A* A B C D Maths Music Music Technology Physical Education Physics Product Design Psychology RE Applied Science Sociology Spanish Health and Social Care E U All 59 11 15 9 11 7 4 2 Boys 40 8 7 9 7 5 2 2 Girls 19 3 8 0 4 2 2 0 All 11 1 3 5 1 1 0 0 Boys 5 1 1 2 0 1 0 0 Girls 6 0 2 3 1 0 0 0 All 9 1 0 1 6 1 0 0 Boys 9 1 0 1 6 1 0 0 Girls 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 All 14 0 2 3 5 1 3 0 Boys 12 0 2 3 4 1 2 0 Girls 2 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 All 35 0 10 5 9 7 4 0 Boys 26 0 5 4 8 6 3 0 Girls 9 0 5 1 1 1 1 0 All Boys Girls All Boys Girls All Boys Girls 14 11 3 63 21 42 27 11 16 1 1 0 4 0 4 1 1 0 4 3 1 15 5 10 6 2 4 2 1 1 19 4 15 12 4 8 4 3 1 17 5 12 4 2 2 0 0 0 4 3 1 3 1 2 3 3 0 3 3 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 All 13 0 0 1 4 5 3 0 Boys 10 0 0 1 2 4 3 0 Girls 3 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 All Boys Girls All Boys Girls 33 12 21 7 3 4 2 1 1 0 0 0 9 0 9 3 0 3 11 4 7 2 2 0 8 5 3 2 1 1 3 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 All 4 0 0 0 2 2 0 0 Girls All Students 26 4 0 0 0 2 2 0 0 All 781 71 168 190 186 104 49 13 Boys Girls 380 401 33 38 61 107 82 108 99 87 61 43 31 18 13 0 Farlingaye High School Policies There are many policies covering a variety of topics too numerous to detail here.
