School Travel Plan Our School Travel Plan at South Hill Primary School aims to encourage a healthy lifestyle and positive well-being for all. We work closely with Herts Travel Team and we currently hold a “Good” Award for our Travel Plan. Some of the aims of the School Travel Plan include: Improved safety of pupils due to less traffic. Less congestion around the school and in the local community. Healthier, happier, more alert pupils, thanks to active travel such as, cycling and walking. Avoiding parking issues around the school ground Less pollution around the school and local area. Improved road awareness of pupils. Greater staff health and well-being. Improved journey reliability for staff, pupils and parents. As a school, we actively promote walking, using a scooter, park and ride or cycling as a way of getting to school each day. Additionally, during our Walk to School Week we again encourage and record how children get to school each day that week. This is a great opportunity to help children reach their minimum 60 minutes of exercise per day. At South Hill, we ask that no cars enter the school car park during drop off and collection. Parking is very restricted around the immediate school site. Please be considerate to our local residents if parking nearby to the school or consider parking and walking. Within the school grounds, we also have a scooter station to keep bikes and scooter dry from the weather! Tom, our school crossing officer regularly visits school Tom sends the following message to keep your children safe. 1) A reminder to stay on the footpath until Tom call you to cross, do not cross before. 2) Any children who bring bikes and scooters must get off and push them across the road. 3) Parents, for the safety of all PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON YELLOW LINES or close to the crossing patrol area. We thank Tom very much for helping to keep our pupils safe

Mental Health Week 2025 Wellbeing Overview Wellbeing at South Hill Zones of Regulation Just Talk Assembly Anti Bullying Week Summary of the Zones Electric Umbrella 2023 Acts Of Kindness Worry Monster Assembly Friendship Bench Feeling Good Week 2023 Over the summer break, Mrs Albery organised volunteers from our local community and some teaching staff to come into our School and help renovate the garden area. As you can see there was lots of hard work to do, from moving old tyres and some old railway sleepers. But it was so worth it because the new raised growing beds for vegetables will enable the garden area to be re-used by the children and will really improve their Science knowledge and of course support their wellbeing and mental health. This project would not have been possible without the incredible help of our volunteers and Mrs Albery would personally like to thank the Harman Group for coming in and working so valiabtly and contributing to purchasing soil and some plants. Additionally, our fabulous PTA who also supported our school with funding and enabled our school to purchase the new bench and plant/ vegetable boxes. Garden Project Mental Health Awareness Week 13.5.24. This week is organised by the Mental Health Foundation. This year’s theme is ‘Movement: moving more for our mental health’. We all know movement is important for our mental wellbeing it boosts our mood and helps us look after our health. However, many of us may find it difficult to prioritise for a number of reasons. Lots of resources were shared with the staff at South Hill on how they can assist children with talking about their mental health and understanding their emotions. If you would like to find out more about supporting your mental wellbeing or tips to help support your child, please visit the Mental Health UK web page here. Our School Counsellor - Shahin

Music Music Vision To develop pupils’ skills and knowledge as musicians, through Performing, Composing and Appraising At South Hill, we believe that music is a powerful, unique form of communication that can change the way children feel, think and act. It is a key feature of our school and we aim to provide many opportunities for our children to thrive in this area. The teaching of music develops children's ability to listen and it encourages active involvement in different forms of music making both individual and ensemble, developing a sense of group identity and togetherness. It also increases self-discipline, creativity, aesthetic sensitivity and fulfilment. Our aims are: To encourage awareness, enjoyment and appreciation of music in all its forms To develop imagination and creativity To help children of all abilities develop positive attitudes and to experience success and satisfaction in music To offer opportunities to perform, compose and appraise Golden Threads As part of our Music curriculum, we have carefully mapped out 3 key concepts that weave in and out of our learning. These are: Performing Composing Appraising Our Curriculum In EYFS, pupils explore sound making in the key area of ‘Expressive arts and Design’ and have opportunities to respond to music through dance, role play and drama both inside and outside the classroom setting. In Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, pupil’s skills and knowledge are developed through our golden threads, which progress throughout the school. Expected outcomes are taken from the National Curriculum and the skills to be taught are drawn from the Model Music Curriculum along with the WEAVE knowledge and skills document. Sing Up and Charanga resources are used as well as our Music specialist teacher. For example: In KS1: Pupils enjoy singing songs together and learn about beat, rhythm and pitch. They also have opportunities to create music together in response to a given stimulus ie. story, picture or theme. In KS2, pupils learn the ukulele and extend their understanding of beat, rhythm and pitch. Pupils learn to read standard notation through learning the glockenspiel and have opportunities to compose music in response to topics and work to incorporate their music knowledge within these projects. Pupils also take part in weekly singing assemblies and have opportunities to join in various musical activities and performances throughout the school year. Please also visit the Young Voices ,Choir and Arts Mark pages Arts Mark Gold South Hill have been awarded a Artsmark Gold Award, which highlighted ’our opportunities for children in Key Stage 2 to participate in instrumental tuition, including ukulele and Djembe drumming. Pupils also participate in Choir extra-curricular club and have opportunities to showcase and celebrate their musical achievements locally and at national events, such as at Young Voices. Our feedback from the the Arts Mark assessors: 'You clearly value the Arts and recognise their contribution to your mission statement of 'Building Character, Learning Together' at South Hill Primary School. Although some of your plans were inevitably stymied by the pandemic, you have used your Artsmark journey to develop children's understanding of arts and artists from a wider variety of different cultural heritages, so that cultural diversity is being promoted through your arts curriculum and your annual International Day. Music is a growing strength within your overall arts offer with lessons provided by a specialist music teacher. Your partnership with Hertfordshire Music Service is providing opportunities for children in Key Stage 2 to participate in instrumental tuition, including ukulele and Djembe drumming. Pupils can also participate in Choir extra-curricular club, and have opportunities to showcase and celebrate their musical achievements locally and at national events, such as at Young Voices. Astutely, you have capitalised on the skills and expertise of various school stakeholders, including a parent who is an animator. This opportunity, along with the chance for children to see a range of artists and makers at work at the Dacorum Arts Centre, has enabled pupils to develop an understanding of carer pathways and job opportunities in the Arts. Teachers' confidence has increased as a result of their training from local secondary colleagues in drawing, watercolour and collagraph printing. We suggest for the future that you strengthen your partnerships with arts and culture venues, and seek out new collaborations and opportunities with arts professionals which could help you to increase your range of offer and provide external, specialist training opportunities for your staff. It is great to hear that you are beginning to develop pupil voice through your Arts Ambassadors, and that they have relished the opportunity to work with your Forest Schools Leader to develop and implement plans to enhance the outdoor area. Congratulations on your Artsmark Gold Award! After a visit from Hertfordshire Music Service we have achieved a Music Mark to celebrate the value that we place on music here at South Hill. Music Mark schools are recognised for their commitment to music education. By being invited to be a Music mark school we can access resources for our staff and pupils and be kept up to date with the latest national and regional sector news and events. This is part of our recognition letter: 'Music Mark works to support and enable the music education sector to deliver high-quality musical and social outcomes for all children and young people. On behalf of Music Mark and from us at Hertfordshire Music Service, we would like to thank you for all the hard work your school does to support this collective vision. Music Mark Schools is supported through a partnership with ABRSM.'

Sécurité en ligne South Hill Primary school recognises that internet, mobile and digital technologies provide positive opportunities for children and young people to learn, socialise and play but they also need to understand the challenges and risks. The digital world is an amazing place, but with few rules. It is vast and fast moving and young people’s future economic success may be partly dependent on their online skills and reputation. We are, therefore, committed to ensuring that pupils, staff and governors will be supported to use internet, mobile and digital technologies safely. This is part of our safeguarding responsibility. Staff are aware that some pupils may require additional support or teaching, including reminders, prompts and further explanation to reinforce their knowledge and understanding of online safety issues. We are also committed to ensuring that all those who work with children and young people, including their parents/carers, are informed about the ever-changing risks so that they can take an active part in helping children and young people navigate the online world safely and confidently. Staff have an annual online safety review, with parents and carers receiving monthly online safety tips in the school newsletter. We currently use the document ‘Education for a Connected World’ and resources from Project Evolve to plan and implement our half termly online safety sessions across the school (EYFS to Year 6). Each term, delivers a different aspect of online safety with bespoke sessions adopted when required, see the long term plan for details of our curriculum. We are also lucky to have a team of Digital Leaders at South Hill, whose role it to promote online safety and share their love of all things digital! All digital leaders have to apply for their role and are shortlisted and interviewed by the previous year’s Digital Leader team. Digital leader’s responsibilities include: · Learning how to use key software, so that they can be a help to others. · Have a good understanding on how to stay safe with technology and share with others. · Trialling potential new software and websites, then demonstrating them to other children and teachers. · Writing blog posts and commenting on other blogs · Set up equipment in classrooms for teachers. · Helping to lead the school forwards within the subject of Computing.

Our Curriculum At South Hill School, our curriculum allows our pupils to flourish through a nurturing environment, which aims to build confident and resilient learners and provide the building blocks of learning in all subjects, in preparation for their next steps across our school and to secondary school. Our Curriculum Intent The intent of our school curriculum is clearly planned and developed using a progressive approach with a build-up of learning, knowledge and skills. This is m apped out from year group to year group, and across key stages, via our ‘subject long term planning documents’ and ‘year group curriculum overviews’, which follow the National Curriculum. These can be found on each of our subject web pages (‘Curriculum’ tab) and on our year group class pages. We have aimed to design an ambitious curriculum which is designed for the pupils at our school and a curriculum that is relevant and meaningful. The core of our curriculum is based on developing pupils' Reading, Writing and Maths skills and providing a rich, diverse learning experience. We focus on a strong 'daily diet' of learning for all pupils. Our Reading curriculum follows the Read Write Inc scheme to teach phonics and reading skills in a consistent manner. Matching phonetical books further support the acquirement of phonics (also known as the ‘3Ps’ at South Hill School). We use the ‘Herts for Learning’ (HFL) documents for our Core Subjects and we have adapted the 'Learning Challenge Curriculum' ('Weave') for our Foundation Subjects. This ensures that all our pupils are taught a broad and balanced curriculum, with the key skills and knowledge to support their future learning to ensure all pupils have the opportunity to reach their potential. Our SEN pupils access learning at an adapted level dependent on individual needs. Some children have a personalised curriculum which is tailored but based around whole class learning wherever possible and also follows their individualised 'Passport to Success'. Accessibility across our school can be seen via our whole school provision maps based on the four broad areas of need and our EAL provision map. Cognition and Learning Needs Physical and Sensory Needs Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs Speech, Language and Communication Needs English as an Additional Language (EAL) Underpinning our intended curriculum and deeply rooted in our ethos is the wellbeing of our pupils. For our pupils to access the curriculum, they must be in a nurturing and supporting environment with a rich cultural capital. Our curriculum celebrates a broad and enriched learning approach. Events such as 'International Day', led by the Geography lead, is a celebration of language, foods, music, different cultures and dances from across the world. Our Science Day, our Wellbeing days and our annual Art Gallery are other examples in which leaders join together to ensure our pupils' learning is extended beyond the classroom and their experiences are widened. Our curriculum design incorporates a therapeutic behaviour approach and this is echoed through our whole school ethos, The South Hill Way which links to British citizenship.

Outdoor Classroom Day Outdoor Classroom Day is a global movement to make time outdoors part of every child's day. Here at Southhill, we are so lucky to have our fantastic grounds and woodland area. We are committed to providing outdoor learning opportunities wherever possible. On two days of action each year, the Outdoor Classroom campaign encourages teachers to take children outdoors to learn and play. All year round, the movement campaigns for more outdoor learning. This years Summer term date was in May. Every class enjoyed an outdoor learning session with a variety of activities including orienteering, bug hunting, den building, potion making and natural art. There was positive feedback from both children and staff . We look forward to participating in the Autumn term day in November.

La science À l'école South Hill, nous comprenons que les enfants sont naturellement curieux et aiment explorer, enquêter et poser des questions. Ceci est essentiel à l'apprentissage des sciences et permet aux enfants d'acquérir une compréhension plus profonde du monde dans lequel nous vivons. Nous visons à fournir une éducation scientifique de qualité qui fournit les bases de la compréhension du monde et crée des apprenants curieux et enthousiastes. Nous encourageons l'enseignement de la science à travers des tâches pratiques et, le cas échéant, l'utilisation de nos vastes terrains d'école, la localité de notre ville ou The Box Moor Trust. Grâce à la science dans notre école, nous visons à faire en sorte que tous les enfants: Développer des connaissances et une compréhension scientifiques ainsi que des compétences d'apprentissage pratiques amusantes Développer la compréhension des différents types d'enquête scientifique qui les aideront à répondre à des questions scientifiques sur le monde qui les entoure Liez l'apprentissage à la vie réelle et explorez grâce à l'apprentissage en plein air Accédez à un voyage scientifique dans tous les groupes de l'année Lier l'apprentissage des sciences à toutes les autres matières afin d'approfondir la compréhension Le programme d'études primaire en sciences est enseigné dans toute l'école. Travailler les connaissances scientifiques et scientifiques Travailler scientifiquement (ou compétences d'investigation) se concentre sur une compréhension de l'investigation pratique et les compétences nécessaires pour le faire. Ces compétences comprennent l'observation, la recherche, la classification, la pose et la réponse à des questions, l'exploration de données et le travail en équipe grâce à un apprentissage pratique. La connaissance scientifique est la compréhension des faits et phénomènes scientifiques et la réponse aux questions sur leur apprentissage scientifique. EYFS Les élèves explorent la science via l'espace d'apprentissage appelé «Comprendre le monde». Ils assistent également à une session en plein air appelée «Welly Wednesday». Science clé de l'étape 1 L’objectif de l’enseignement des sciences à l’étape clé 1 est de permettre aux enfants d’expérimenter et d’observer les phénomènes; regarder de plus près le monde qui les entoure. Science clé de l'étape 2 L'objectif de l'enseignement des sciences au niveau clé inférieur 2 est de permettre aux enfants d'élargir leur vision scientifique du monde qui les entoure. L'objectif de l'enseignement des sciences au stade clé supérieur 2 est de permettre aux enfants de développer une compréhension plus profonde d'un large éventail d'idées scientifiques. Liens locaux scientifiques Nous encourageons et célébrons fortement l'apprentissage des sciences dans notre école. Nous travaillons en collaboration avec The Box Moor Trust, un site d'allotissement local, le cimetière Heath Lane, l'école Lockers Park, l'école Hemel Hempstead et nos propres terrains pour garantir que l'apprentissage des sciences est proactif et significatif.
