Important school policies and documents
Anti-Bullying Policy
There are many differently worded definitions of bullying and most contain several key features. However, bullying is an emotive issue and confusion can arise about what constitutes bullying and this can have damaging consequences for children and young people. As a result of work carried out by the Local Authority (LA) Behaviour and Attendance Working Party, we have adopted the following definition:
“Bullying is an attitude rather than an act. It can be identified as bullying only by measuring the effects the acts have on the identified child/children. It may take the form of a repeated attack physically, psychologically, socially, with the intention of causing distress for their own gratification.”
Attendance Policy
At Wimborne we give a high priority to attendance and we are committed to ensure that the children benefit fully from the opportunities that the school offers them. Optimum levels of attendance can only be fully achieved when responsibility is accepted and shared by all concerned: pupils, parents, school staff, governors, Portsmouth City Council and the local community.
Curriculum Policy
Our curriculum has been carefully planned for children to learn life-long skills and be passionate about the world around them. Our pupil offer is an enhanced curriculum where there are opportunities for contextual learning through trips, visitors, outdoor learning, knowledge of their local community and providing links to art and culture and other unique learning experiences. Our progressive curriculum is led by pupils and staff to ensure it is engaging and ambitious for all learners.

Home-school agreement
This agreement encapsulated our belief that parents are a child’s first and most important educators. It is designed to help achieve the highest possible standards of achievement through close communication and effective partnership with parents. In drawing up this agreement we surveyed parents and carers to clarify their expectations of the school. In addition, the staff reviewed current practices on the extent to which the school council provides an effective vehicle for consulting them and involving them in decision-making.
Inclusion Policy
This document is seen as a working and developing policy liable to change in the light of evaluation of practice, and is reviewed annually.
Wimborne Primary School recognises all its pupils as equal individuals and is committed to developing an inclusive and supportive learning environment that removes barriers to learning and in which all learners achieve their full potential. We are committed to diminishing the difference in attainment and progress between groups of learners and tailoring our provision. Our school is accessible for wheelchair users with specialised toilet and hygiene facilities for children and adults and a stair lift in the junior building.
