ENROLMENT
The names of pupils transferring from primary are sent to and the parents will receive a letter confirming their child’s placement. Parents will be invited to visit the school prior to transfer. Arrangements to visit the school for parents, who are seeking or have been offered a place for their child in the school, can be made by parents or a representative from Psychological Services.
TRANSFER FROM PRIMARY
We realise that this is both an exciting and often worrying time for parents and pupils and to make it as pleasant and as trouble free as possible we put in place the following arrangements.
Early in the summer term parents are invited to visit Linburn Academy although they can arrange a visit in advance of this.
A liaison programme is put in place where pupils visit in the third term to jointly participate in a shared activity.
In the summer (third) term we have a three day programme where our new pupils come with their primary school staff who gradually withdraw as the pupils become settled in their new school. On these days pupils may, if this can be arranged, travel on Linburn buses to and from school. Pupils return to their primary for end of term activities and to say good-bye.
Co-ordinated Support plans or Additional Support plans and school files are passed to Linburn and are used as the basis for further learning.

Pupil Absence
Absence rates are calculated as a percentage of the total
number of possible attendance’s for all pupils of the school in the stage shown, each morning and afternoon of each school day being a separate possible attendance.
Within Linburn Academy good attendance is encouraged at all times to ensure pupil success. Parents are asked to inform the school if their son or daughter is going to be absent. This should be done as early as possible on the first day of absence. If the young person is going to be absent for some time, it would be helpful to know at the earliest opportunity.
MEDICAL AND HEALTH CARE:
Parents must inform the school of any particular medical
requirements in respect of their child.
Our School Medical Officer visits at regular intervals throughout the year. Parents are invited to school for their child’s routine medical. The Medical Officer cannot prescribe medication but can refer pupils to hospital if required.
INFORMATION IN EMERGENCIES
We make every effort to maintain a full education
service, but on some occasions circumstances arise which lead to disruption. Schools may be affected by e.g. severe weather, temporary interruption of transport, power failures or difficulties of fuel supplies. We shall do all we can to let you know about the details of closures or re-openings. We shall keep you in touch by using e-mail,
letters, texts and announcements in the press and local radio.

SCHOOL DRESS CODE
In encouraging a dress code policy, account must be taken in any proposals to prevent any direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of race or gender. Any proposals will be the subject of widespread consultation with parents and pupils.
There are forms of dress which are unacceptable in school, such as items of clothing which:
potentially encourages faction (such as football colours)
could cause offence (such as anti-religious symbolism or
political slogan.)
could cause health and safety difficulties, such as loose fitting clothing
could cause damage to flooring
carry advertising, particularly for alcohol or tobacco and
could be used to damage other pupils or be used by others to do so
Glasgow City Council is concerned at the level of claims being received regarding the loss of pupils’ clothing and/or personal belongings. Parents are asked to assist in this area by ensuring that valuable items and unnecessarily expensive items of clothing are not brought to school. Parents should note that the Authority does not carry insurance to cover the loss of such items and any claims submitted are likely to be met only where the Authority can be shown to have been in neglect.
Parents are also asked to ensure that all items of clothing and footwear are labelled with the name of the young person who owns them.
CLOTHING AND UNIFORM
Parents who wish to purchase a school uniform can do so online at
myclothing.com or info@schoolwearmadeeasy.com

CLOTHING AND UNIFORM ….. Cont’d
It is not the policy of the education committee to insist on pupils having school uniform or specialised clothing, however our school uniform promotes a real sense of school identity, shared values, self-confidence and a shared sense of community. The uniform is actively supported by our pupils, parents and the Parent Council and is of great benefit to our young people. The school uniform is:
Red Polo Shirt with School Logo
Red Sweatshirt with School Logo
Navy joggers
Red Fleece with School Logo
Appropriate footwear
PE KIT
It is important that pupils come prepared to learn and for PE. The school will advise when this requires appropriate clothing e.g. swimwear, bath towel, soft shoes or shorts.
CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR GRANTS
Parents/Carers receiving Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance (income based), Working Tax Credit/Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit will normally be entitled to monetary grants for footwear and clothing for their children. Information and application forms may be obtained from schools and at www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articledi=8629.

SCHOOL MEALS
Our school provides a lunch service which offers a variety of meals with The Fuel Zone. Special diets are available for medical or religious reasons.
Children and young people of parents/carers receiving Income Support/Job Seekers
Allowance/Working Tax Credit Child Tax Credit and income-related Employment and Support Allowance are entitled to a free midday meal. Information and application forms for free school meals may be obtained from schools and at www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid+8629
TRANSPORT
The Education Authority will normally provide free transport to all
pupils who attend an Additional Support for Learning (ASL) school. This policy is more generous than the law requires. This means that the provision of transport could be reviewed at any time. Parents are responsible for bringing their child to the school bus in the morning and collecting them from the bus in the afternoon. It may be necessary for children to walk to the vehicle pick up point. It is also the parent/carer’s
responsibility to ensure that the child behaves in a safe and acceptable manner whilst using school transport. It is expected that no child/young person with additional support needs will be on transport for more than one hour.
COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS
At Linburn Academy we strongly encourage all parents to become
involved in the education of their children. We are always ready to listen to suggestions for new ways of stimulating parental interest. We contact and involve parents in many ways. For example:
Newsletters: will be sent out on a regular basis to keep parents and carers informed about the work of the school.
Twitter Account: We regularly update our Twitter account with photographs, school news and useful information. Follow us at @LinburnAcademy
Letters/E-mails: Further information which requires a response may be sent out in
letter form.
SeeSaw: is an App used to replace Home School Diaries. Teachers will share your child’s day and important information.

COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS (Cont’d)
School Website: Will contain a great deal of information about the school. It is a good idea to check this regularly.
Text Messaging: You may also receive text reminders about events/school
closures etc
Meetings: Parents and carers are welcome in the school to discuss any aspect of their child’s development and progress. To avoid disappointment, it is advisable to make an appointment. There are various opportunities throughout the year when parents can discuss their child’s progress with school staff.
Parent Events: Over the course of the year, the school runs several social, information or learning events for parents. Details of these will be communicated by letter,
text message and on the school Twitter account.
Parents and carers are welcome at other events throughout the school year e.g. workshops, information evenings, class performances, award ceremonies, religious and other assemblies. The school newsletter and website will keep you informed.
Strong communication links between home and school ensure parents and carers are confident to address any concerns they may have about their child’s education with pastoral care staff and the Senior Leadership Team.
EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION
At the start of each school session, parents and carers will be issued with the Annual Data Check, medication and various permission forms. Please ensure that these are completed and returned to the school. It is also important that you let us know if there are changes to your telephone number(s) or to those of your emergency contacts throughout the year.
DATA PROTECTION—USE OF INFORMATION ABOUT CHILDREN AND PARENTS/CARERS
We collect information about children attending school (and also about parents/carers, emergency contacts etc provided in the Annual Data Check) to allow us to carry out the Council’s functions as the Education Authority for the City of Glasgow. This may sometimes involve releasing personal information to other Agencies and other parts of the Council, particularly in relation to child protection issues or criminal investigations, and it may also be used for research purposes (see the link below for more details regarding this).

CURRICULUM
Curriculum for Excellence 3—18
Curriculum for Excellence has been introduced to raise standards of learning and teaching for all 3 to 18 year olds. It aims to help prepare children and young people with the knowledge and skills they need in a fast changing world. As part of Curriculum for Excellence, all children from pre-school to the end of S3 will receive a rounded education known as a Broad General Education (BGE). Curriculum for Excellence is all about bringing real life into the classroom and taking lessons beyond it.
In line with their Curriculum for Excellence entitlement, pupils learn in all 8 curricular areas until the end of S3.
There is also a focus on developing literacy ad numeracy skills across every subject area as well as Skills for Learning, Life and Work as young people prepare for their adult lives. In addition, learning takes place in the following ways:
Inter-disciplinary experiences (working across a range of subjects to link learning)
Learning through the ethos and life of the school.
Opportunities for personal achievement.
THE SENIOR PHASE S4—S6
The Senior Phase offers opportunity for specialisation leading to qualifications. Young people aged 15 plus will have a whole wide range of opportunities to experience learning and achieve qualifications to the highest possible level during their senior phase.

RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE
The ethos of the school promotes the moral values of sharing, caring, love and consideration. We use the money from our caring bank to contribute to our chosen charities each year. We hold a weekly Assembly where values are re-enforced. We mark a variety of multi-cultural festivals and celebrations at appropriate times throughout the year. If any parents wish to withdraw their child from Assembly they should inform the school in writing.
Parents from ethnic minority religious communities may request that their children be permitted to be absent from school in order to celebrate recognised religious events. Only written requests detailing the arrangement will be granted on up to three occasions in any one school session and the pupil noted as an authorised absentee in the register.
If any parents wish to withdraw their child from assembly they should inform the school in writing.

ASSESSMENT/RECORDING/EVALUATION
Assessment by educational, therapy staff and parents leads to the setting of targets which within each pupil’s Co-ordinated or Additional Support Plans. Continuous recording and assessments are used to evaluate learning programmes. Parents are invited to attend an Annual Review to discuss and evaluate their child’s progress. Other professionals involved in supporting your child—for example Physiotherapists or Social Workers, if your child has one, will also be invited to the Annual Review Meeting.
SUPPORT FOR PUPILS
The school has a duty to ensure that all pupils have equal access to the curriculum, with appropriate support for their needs if required. This applies to the content of lessons, teaching strategies and minor adaptations to the school environment. There are a wide range of factors which may act as a barrier to learning. We are committed to working closely with parents and carers to ensure that they are fully involved in any decisions about support for their children’s needs.
Any parent or carer seeking further advice regarding this policy should contact the Headteacher in the first instance.
Further information relating to additional support needs is available on the Glasgow City Council website – https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/article/18941/Meeting-Additional-Support-Needs
Information on the Glasgow City Councils’ Parental Involvement Strategy can also be found at https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=17870
PUPIL SUPPORT STAFF
All staff at Linburn Academy have a clear responsibility for the welfare of young people. In addition all young people are given a Teacher who provides a vital link between home and school as the Teachers have an ‘all-round’ picture of a pupil’s progress and general health and well-being.
We are fully committed to meeting the needs of all pupils and hold regular meetings at which we plan for those who require additional support. Full discussion is held with parents and carers and outcomes are planned and agreed in partnership.

NURTURING CITY
The Glasgow City Council vision ‘towards the nurturing city’, puts building positive, trusting relationships at the core of our work. We ensure children, young people and families feel they belong, they are listened to and they are valued by embedding the principles of nurture across our early years, primary and secondary establishments. Staff are trained in attachment and nurture which deepens understanding of child development and enhances effective practice by responding to the needs of all children and young people in a consistent and caring way. Nurture is a universal approach which builds resilience, helping to reduce the impact of adversity. Effective communication and collaboration with parents and carers builds an ethos of partnership working putting the child at the centre, fostering high quality learning contexts.
Each of our nurturing establishments contribute to the development of Glasgow as a nurturing city, creating safe environments which allow our children and young people to flourish by raising attainment and promoting positive mental health and wellbeing.
C0-ORDINATED SUPPORT PLAN (CSP)/ADDITIONAL SUPPORT PLAN (ASP)
All pupils in Linburn Academy will have either a Co-ordinated Support Plan (CSP) or an
Additional Support Plan (ASP) in place. Individual plans will link with any other agency involvement.
Information and advice about additional support for learning can be obtained from
Enquire – The Scottish Advice Service for Additional Support for Learning Enquire offers independent, confidential advice and information on additional support for learning through:
Telephone Helpline: 0845 123 2303 Email Enquiry Service: info@enquire.org.uk Advice and information is also available at www.enquire.org.uk

PROMOTING POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR
Children’s Rights as outlined in the UNCRC (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) are fundamental to a good school ethos. Adults in our school will work with young people to ensure they are aware of their rights and fully respect the rights of others. Therefore, the approach within Linburn Academy is to build a positive ethos that demonstrates care and respect for all. Our expectations are clearly communicated to young people and breaches of discipline are dealt with in line with school policy.
In most cases a quiet reprimand is sufficient but in more serious or persistent cases parents will be invited to school to discuss the issue and agree a course of action.
The smooth running of Linburn Academy requires a high standard of behaviour from all within it. We appreciate the support of parents and carers in helping us to achieve this. All pupils are required to behave well and respect their own safety and that of others. This is also important on journeys to and from school.
We expect our pupils to behave in an acceptable manner in accordance with school rules. Behaviour which causes concern will be addressed by the multi disciplinary team working together with the parents and the pupil. Our aim is to promote positive behaviour by encouraging the pupils to co-operate and behave well.
HOMEWORK
Let’s SHARE your child’s education
School and
Home will
Always
Rely on
Each other
Our aims are to enable all our young people to become:
Successful Learners Confident Individuals
Responsible Citizens Effective Communicators
All our pupils will have homework uploaded to SeeSaw. Our pupils have a continuous curriculum - it is just as important that they continue to work on functional movement programmes or practise basic skills in settings outside of school. For some using their communication books both in school and out of school is paramount. Through simple homework tasks they may be able to transfer the skills they learn at school to real life contexts in the wider community. The use of homework then will not only involve the pupils more in their learning but also their family members.

WHAT IS A PARENT COUNCIL?
The aim of the Parent Council Legislation is for the Parent Council to be very parent friendly – it’s a great opportunity to become more involved!
The role of the Parent Council will be to:
support the school in its work with pupils
represent the views of all parents
encourage links between the school, parents, pupils, pre-school groups and the wider community report back to the Parent Forum.
Our School’s Parent Council is recognised in law so it will have a loud voice. The School and the Local Authority must listen to what your Parent Council says and give it a proper response. Every School’s Parent Council will be different because it will be parents in each school who decide things.
PUPIL COUNCIL
Our Pupil Council is made up of 1 representative from each year group. This is an
important group which ensures that the views of pupils are heard.
EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
During their time at Linburn, pupils may have the opportunity to experience residential excursions to appropriate activity centres. These excursions are planned to enhance and enrich the curriculum.
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
On an annual basis, you will receive a copy of our Standards and Quality report. Copies from previous years are available on the school website. The Standards and Quality report will be used to share the overall exam performance of the school and highlights progress in key curricular areas such as literacy, numeracy and health & wellbeing. Our priorities for improvement are detailed in our School Improvement Plan which is discussed with our Parent Council. Any parent or carer seeking a copy of the plan can contact the school office or check out our website.
