ANNUAL REPORT

2014/2015

WINDMILL INTEGRATED PRIMARY SCHOOL

CHAIRMAN’S FOREWARD

Reading this report about all the excellent work that goes on in Windmill IPS gives only part of the story. I am very impressed, as were the ETI Inspectors in January 2015, with the care and respect for all the pupils and the commitment of the Principal and all staff to set and achieve the highest personal, academic and social goals for your children. This is an inclusive, integrated school where every child is valued and can feel safe in a caring and supportive environment. The Board of Governors thank and congratulate the Principal and all the staff, teaching and non-teaching for their constant hard work and dedication to your children.

Although I only joined the Board of Governors at Christmas 2014 I find myself the new Chair and writing this introduction to this very comprehensive Annual Report. I want to start by thanking our previous Chair, Shane Kennedy, whose valuable expertise and leadership was very much appreciated. We are a relatively new Board with Miss Jane Hamill, Mrs Ethel McIvor, Mrs Una Taylor and Mrs Dervla Weir all new this year. They all bring their energy, skills and time to the complicated task of managing this marvellous school. But we need more parents to become governors. Your interest and involvement in the progress of your children along with the skills and understanding you bring would certainly strengthen and enrich your Board of Governors and help make Windmill Integrated Primary School an even better school.

Vivien Kelly, Chair of the Board of Governors

PRINCIPAL’S REPORTIt has been an absolute pleasure working alongside such dedicated and conscientious staff, all of whom support the academic, social, emotional and physical growth of your children and I would like to thank them for all their hard work. The report below gives you a synopsis of yet another busy and successful year at Windmill.

Board of Governors Membership and ResponsibilitiesThe Governors are ultimately responsible for the overall management of the school. They are required to meet for a minimum of three times each year but in practice meet much more frequently than this.Some of their duties include:The oversight of the curriculum;The control of the budget;The provision of information to parents;The selection of staff;The maintenance of the premises;The Admissions Policy;Fostering links with the local community and pursuing the objectives of Mutual Understanding.

This year the Board welcomed Mrs Vivien Kelly, Miss Jane Hamill, Mrs Ethel McIvor, Mrs Una Taylor, Mrs Dervla Weir and said a fond farewell to Mr Brendan Kerr and Mr Philip Junk. The Board

would like to take this opportunity to thank both gentlemen for the dedication and commitment they demonstrated whilst serving on the Board and for all that they brought to the table in order to help move Windmill Integrated Primary School and Nursery unit forward.

EnrolmentForty-six children enrolled in Primary One in September 2014. An ‘Open Afternoon’ was arranged in December 2013 for prospective parents and pupils who wished to enrol in future years. This afternoon afforded parents the opportunity to visit each of the classrooms and speak with teachers and support staff. This event proved very successful and we had a large number of parents availing of this opportunity to visit the school.

The CurriculumUnder the Education Reform Order the responsibility of governors for the curriculum i.e. what is taught in the school, has been increased. The day-to-day organisation of the curriculum remains the Principal’s responsibility. The Governors’ control of the curriculum is mainly determined by the government. It is however our responsibility to ensure that a broad and balanced curriculum is provided for all pupils. To this end the school implements the statutory requirements of the Northern Ireland Curriculum. Teachers continued to thoroughly plan, deliver and evaluate all aspects of the Northern Ireland Curriculum. Parent Interviews were held in October and March and yearly reports to parents were forwarded in June. An information afternoon for parents was held in all classes in early September.

AttendanceAttendance at the school continued to be very good with the average attendance being 94.6%. Congratulations to Drew Archer, Daniel Bennett, Zygi Bernikas, Lea Marshall, Caitlin McCann, Alannah Mulholland and Sarah Taylor who achieved full attendance during 2014/2015.

Management

The school was inspected in January 2015 and received ‘Very Good’ across all areas in the Primary School and ‘Good’ in the Nursery. Report of the Inspection is attached.

During 2014/2015 School development work was undertaken in the following areas:

Language and Literacy (including Talking and Listening, Reading and Writing: schools are also encouraged to teach additional languages) Weekly French lessons for P1 – P7 classes continued throughout the whole school year. Such an opportunity has prepared the Primary 7 pupils for transferring to secondary education. Language and Literacy is seen as central to the curriculum in this school. Money raised through the annual Book Fair enabled the purchase of additional reading texts to promote children’s enthusiasm and develop their skills. The Reading Partnership Programme was implemented. Mrs Sharon Cleary was appointed Literacy Co-ordinator for the whole school for 2014/2015 academic year. Mrs Cleary and Mrs Hughes participated in the SEN CPD Literacy project. The project had 2 strands: face to face training sessions for Mrs Cleary and Mrs Hughes and seven online sessions for the whole school. The project helped teachers identify children’s literacy strengths and address their weaknesses and developed each teacher’s competence and confidence in matching interventions to individual learning needs. Mrs Cleary marked World Book Day by undertaking a reading quiz with each year group. Pupils dressed up as a character from their favourite book. Prizes were awarded to those chosen.

Primary 7 pupils travelled to W5 in Belfast for the official launch of the ‘Around The World in Story Tales’ programme. This was a programme funded by DENI and the British Council. Our Primary 7 class was only one of 7 Key Stage 2 classes to have gained a place on the programme. The class was paired with a language assistant from France. During their visit to W5 the children met their language assistant and got to learn about the culture, language, places and food in France. They also got to visit the W5 exhibition. The language assistant returned to school along with Elaine Steele from W5. The children got an opportunity to delve deeper into French culture. They also developed their understanding of Global Citizenship and learned how to create drawings for comics, working through the many stages to produce their own drawings of a super hero. Once the children had written their comics, Elaine Steele from W5 and the French Language assistant returned to help them produce animated versions using ipads. Our very own French teacher, Mrs Diane Daly also assisted with the project. Mrs Ferguson, Mrs Donnelly, Mrs Tate, Mrs Creggan and Mrs Mullan were trained on Star Reading within the Accelerated Reader Programme. All the pupils from P3-P7 were tested using the Star Reader test which is compatible with the ipad. Outcomes from the tests will enable staff to ensure that pupils access reading material at their reading level. ( Zone of proximal development). All staff were trained to implement Accelerated Reader. Children undertake a quiz within 24 hours of having read a book.Primary 1 to Primary 3 children continued using Bug Club.Mrs Ferguson, Mrs Carmichael and Mrs Joy Loughran attended a 2 day course entitled ‘Talking Partners’. The course is to help those children with speech and language problems. The programme involved Mrs Loughran working with 3 identified children as a group for 15 minutes 3 times a week for a period of 10 weeks. The school purchased Language Link and all children from P1 to P3 were tested.Information gleaned from the programme was used to plan for the needs of individual or groups of children. The programme ties in with the ‘Talking Partners’ Programme.Mrs Sharon Cleary and Mrs Samantha Ross attended a CCEA course on ‘Communication Skills’ on 6th November. This is the area that the school was to be moderated on this academic year.Mrs Cleary attended a course for Literacy on Thursday 27th November. Time was spent looking at Action plans and the monitoring of these in relation to an inspection.

Mathematics and Numeracy (focusing on the development of mathematical concepts and numeracy across the curriculum).Many practical experiences are used particularly in the early years to develop knowledge, skills and understanding in Mathematics. This year the school continued to use Heinemann Active Maths, an activity led maths subscription service for schools using the Northern Ireland Curriculum at Foundation, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Real- life examples from Northern Ireland’s local cities, towns, rivers, hills and football teams make the programme unique to Northern Ireland. It is a totally interactive programme incorporating online software and games, printable resources and teaching plans. This year saw the introduction of a new weekly lesson plan format for the whole school which was highly praised by the Inspectorate during our recent inspection in January 2015. Staff also continued to use Adaptive Learning Teaching and Assessment Mathematics (ALTA Maths), an assessment and recording system designed for P3-P7 pupils to support and enhance teaching and learning. Pupils were able to conduct practice tests and confirm level tests, as well as adaptive tests which suitably challenged individual abilities in all areas of Mathematics i.e. Number, Measure, Shape & Space, Data Handling & Algebra. It builds up a formative assessment record and profile to show the level of progress made and to identify areas of difficulty which can assist teachers

in planning individual tuition for class. Children are encouraged to use it at home as well as in school. The teachers continued to investigate many web-sites and programmes which could be used via the Interactive White Boards/ipads to further enhance the learning experiences of the children. Mrs Ross and Mrs Angela Lynch attended a course based on the Numicon Approach. It is hoped that this will be rolled out to Primary1 and then throughout the whole school.Mrs Samantha Ross and Mrs Ferguson attended ‘Data Analysis- Numeracy’ on Tuesday 25th November. Time was spent looking at Action plans and the monitoring of these in relation to an inspection.This academic year the whole school focused on developing problem- solving throughout the school. There are 7 different problem-solving strategies for eg. Making a list, Guess, Improve and Check. All staff focused on a problem-solving strategy per half term at an age appropriate /ability level for their class.

The Arts (including Art & Design, Drama and Music) The school has a strong tradition of musical and dramatic productions. At Christmas the pupils and parents very much enjoyed the P1 production and the Key Stage 2 (P5-P7) production of ‘The Apprentice’. All the staff and pupils from Primary 4-Primary 7 went to see ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ at the Millennium Forum, Derry/Londonderry for their Christmas treat.Primary 2 and Primary 3 children went to Ritz cinema in Cookstown to see Paddington. Primary 5 and Primary 6 children participated in a drama workshop on ‘Waste Management’ facilitiated by BEAM.Many pupils were entered for the individual verse speaking section at the Dungannon Music and Drama Festival.Tuition in Brass instruments was provided weekly by Mr Kenneth McAree, whilst tuition in the stringed instruments was provided by Mrs Ann Speed, peripatetic teacher from the Southern Education and Library Board. The pupils at Windmill Integrated Primary School designed their own Christmas cards. Parents were given the opportunity to pay for their child’s design to be printed at a reasonable price.Primary 4 pupils undertook an Art Project with Mrs Millie Patton on 4 different days. The children examined their hopes and aspirations and using this as a stimulus made large 3D masks. Mrs Stephanie Hazelton undertook an Art Club with pupils from Primary 5-Primary 7 throughout the course of the year. One of the many items produced was a large wall mural depicting our locality ‘Town of Dungannon’. This takes pride of place in the main entrance hall of the school.

The World Around Us (WAU) (focusing on the development of knowledge, skills and understanding in Geography, History and Science and Technology) Staff completed a new WAU weekly planner for their year group. This planner is very much skills based. As well as sound teaching in all areas Primary 6 & 7 pupils participated in a STEM workshop at Windmill facilitated by Sentinus. The school obtained £200 from Kick Start funding and this enabled the Primary 7 class to attend a CSI workshop at The South West College in March as a means of celebrating National Science and Engineering week. On Tuesday 16th June, Primary 7 pupils: Ellie Wilkinson, Alex Kennedy and Theo Cunningham represented Windmill at The Science and Technology Challenge which was held in Dungannon Primary School. The children had to design and construct a bridge that would hold a given weight.

Daniel Junk, Joseph Boyd, Shaleigha McGurgan and Louis Walker represented Windmill Integrated Primary School at the K’Nex Challenge, held in St. Patrick’s College on 12th May. The children had to make 2 aliens and 2 items using K’Nex.Mrs Mitchell ( WAU co-ordinator) completed an inventory of WAU resources. Resources were placed in the cupboards in Key Stage 2 resource area with a list of the contents in each cupboard placed inside. Books and other materials were given to relevant members of staff.Mrs Niblock invited Mr Peter Lant , Education Officer at Ranfurly House to come into Windmill to speak to the Primary 6 class on Dungannon and its history as part of their WAU topic ‘Our Locality’.Mrs Karen Niblock and Mrs Sharon Cleary attended an ‘ENTHUSE AWARD’ course on ‘Outdoor Play’. Mrs Niblock organised a very successful outdoor activity day on Tuesday 10th March 2015 for all classes which focused on developing the children’s literacy and Numeracy skills. After participating in the various Maths activities the children got the opportunity to toast their marshmallows and drink hot chocolate.Mrs Mitchell also attended an Enthuse Award course entitled ‘A Pinch of Salt’.The school applied to and received £5,000 from NGO Challenge fund to create an Outdoor classroom and sensory garden area.

Personal Development and Mutual Understanding (PDMU) (focusing on Emotional development, social skills, learning to learn, health, relationships and mutual understanding in the local and global community). PDMU was approached through everyday life in school and the examples that were set by staff as well as specific lessons from the Living Learning Together year group boxes and circle time activities. P7 pupils attended the SELB Love for Life programme.This year all classes from Primary 1 to Primary 7 were linked to their counterparts in Bush Primary School. Each year group undertook a number of activities which complemented the delivery of our PDMU programme particularly Strand 2 as well as covering aspects of World Around Us regarding our locality.Mrs Niblock and her Primary 6 class teamed up with the Primary 6 class in St. Mary’s Primary School, Cabragh to participate in a CRED programme facilitated by Speedwell, Parkanaur and the PSNI.

Using Information and Communications Technology (UICT)ICT is embedded throughout the curriculum. Across the curriculum pupils were provided with many opportunities to build on, and improve their ICT skills. The voluntary ICT Accreditation Scheme in both Key Stage 1 and 2 which enabled pupils to gain external recognition in this field ended in June 2013. Windmill Integrated Primary School continued to assess pupil competency in the statutory cross-curricular skill of Using ICT and reported this to parents as part of the Annual Report using qualitative comments based on the Levels of Progression.Both teaching and non-teaching staff participated in ipad training from 3.15-4.30pm on 15th and 22nd of September.

During the year the School Football Team played in a number of football matches in the Tri-County League and performed really well in all their matches. Mr Campbell accompanied the Girls’ football team to Armagh to participate in a range of football activities.

Swimming this year continued to be offered to pupils from P3 – P7. The swimming lessons took place in Dungannon Leisure Centre. Offering swimming at this earlier age allows the children to master the basic skills and perfect their swimming techniques.

Sincere thanks must be extended to Mr Kevin Campbell for preparing the Primary 7 pupils for this sacrament.

Walk Through The Bible - Miss Jenny Kilpatrick came to Windmill Integrated Primary School to undertake a series of five one hour lessons for the Old Testament with Primary 7. She used storytelling, drama, videos and multi-media. The children were taught a set of keywords and hand signs that help them remember the storyline (for example, the Old Testament begins "Creation - Fall - Flood").

Pupil AssessmentThe N.I. Curriculum is taught in three Stages; children in Years 1 & 2 are in Foundation Stage, Years 3 and 4 are in Key Stage One while those in Years 5, 6 and 7 are in Key Stage Two. The assessment of pupils’ progress is made using continuous assessment by the class teacher, which includes weekly, topic and termly/yearly tests and the results of external tests. Statutory Assessment in English and Mathematics became compulsory in the 1996-97 school year and pupils at the end of both Key Stage 1 (Year 4) and Key Stage 2 (Year 7) have their academic performance assessed in both English and Mathematics. Mrs Ross, Assessment Coordinator, examined the end of year assessment results for both Literacy and Numeracy in order to identify areas in both subjects which the school/classes needed to focus on during this academic year. Information gained was fed into the School Development Plan.

This year our school was expected to submit a Literacy portfolio.Staff agreed not to submit the school portfolio for moderation by CCEA as recommended by the various teaching unions. Mr McGahan was given the opportunity to participate in online training focusing on the Assessment of Literacy and Numeracy and ICT .Both Mr McGahan and Mr Campbell assessed their Primary 4 and Primary 7 pupils respectively against the level descriptors for both Literacy and Numeracy and parents were informed of the numerical data in the Annual Report.

Drugs EducationAs in previous years the pupils were provided with opportunities to learn about the safe and correct use of prescribed drugs and the potential harmful effects of non-prescription drugs including alcohol and tobacco. This programme is delivered through the World Around Us Topic.

Extra-curricular ActivitiesWindmill Integrated Primary School offered a range of extra-curricular activities for pupils from P3 – P7. The activities included Netball, Basketball, Games Club, Football, Hockey, Multi-Sports, Table tennis, Minecraft Club, Bible Club, Outdoor Games, Gaelic Football, Forest School Club, Art, Weebly Computer Club, Religious Education, Choir. The response to these activities was phenomenal and a heart-felt thanks is extended to all members of staff who so willingly give up their time and expertise to run the afore-mentioned clubs. The success of our extra-curricular activities is also down to the support of you the parents in ensuring that your child/ren faithfully attends.

CharitiesThank you to all parents and children for their generous support throughout the year.

The following charities were supported this year:Bun Sale in aid of Primary 7 trip to ShannaghmoreA representative from Clic Seargant came to speak to both KS1 and KS2. All of the children participated in Wig Wednesday and raised a phenomenal amount for such a worthy charity.

Visit of PGCE StudentsDr. Glenda Walsh from Stranmillis contacted Mrs Corr asking if 15 PGCE students could visit school to observe good practice in the early years. Mrs Walsh had contacted the Inspectorate to ask their advice on schools they would recommend for the students to visit. Staff were very honoured that Windmill Integrated Primary School was one of the schools recommended by the Inspectorate.

School Council – Windmill Integrated Primary School’s council was up and running again this year. It provides children with a way of discussing issues and making decisions to help everyone in school. Mrs Ferguson is the link teacher for this initiative. Two School Counsellors were elected from each class in P3-P7 and they attended school council meetings. They were very active in that they:Let the class know what was discussed at the meetingsTook the views of classmates to the School Councilwere involved in projects that the School Council organisedelected officers i.e. Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary.

Mobile ClassroomPrimary 4 children were educated by Mr Brian McGahan in the ICT suite whilst the school awaited planning permission and delivery of the mobile classroom as a result of the additional

intake of Primary 1 children. The new mobile classroom came into operation in May 2015 and the Primary 4 class spent the remainder of the term in it.

Solar PanelsWindmill Integrated Primary school applied for a grant towards the installation of solar panels on the school premises and was successful. The solar panels were erected onto the roof of the kitchen. It is hoped that the solar panels will cut down the school’s energy bills.

SPECIAL NEEDSJacqui Hughes (Special Educational Needs Teacher)

Literacy SupportThis year special needs literacy support was based in group room 1 and provided by Mrs J Hughes. Thirty five pupils received support in literacy skills; phonic awareness, spelling, reading, comprehension and writing. Pupils receiving support came from classes P2 – P7 and they were supported three times per week in withdrawal classes. Some children who are on the register do not require literacy support, for example their needs are medical or behavioural.

Numeracy SupportThis year I was pleased to offer numeracy support for two sessions per week, for 44 P4-P7 pupils who were selected due to significant underachievement. The pupils were divided into groups and each group had approximately 10 weeks of support. Numeracy support included small group work, practical support, interactive games and Alta Maths software.

SEN Register is as follows:

CLASS STAGE 1 STAGE 2 STAGE 3 STAGE 4 STAGE 5P1 3P2 1 2P3 6 2P4 3 3 2P5 1 4 1 1P6 4 3P7 5 1Nursery 1 3

Total: 42 Primary age pupils, 4 Nursery Pupils.

Please note the increase in the number of children on the Special Needs Register from 39 Primary pupils last year to 42 this year. Nursery has one Stage 4 child and 3 Stage 5.

Our current testing regime, close liaison between staff and parents combined with a good working relationship with Educational Psychology has helped us to identify many children who are presenting with Special Educational Needs and to make provision for them. Some children have made enough sustained progress to warrant removal from the register. During this year’s ETI visit, the Inspector responsible for SEN provision, commented favourably on the fluidity of the school’s register.

The large number of pupils at stage 2 in P3, reflects the fact that peripatetic literacy screening is mainly targeted at pupils who meet Board criteria, in this year group.This academic year, 6 pupils received peripatetic literacy support from P4-P6 with Miss Heather Craig.

NURSERY REPORTKierna Corr (Head of Nursery)

28 children started nursery, 2 extra children were sent by Educational Psychology at end of August, meaning the class had 4 children with statements of additional educational needs. Mrs Sarah Carson and Mrs Barbara Devennie joined the nursery team as SEN assistants for those 4 children.

We had Mrs Cathy Quinn a PGCE student from Stranmillis spent her first placement in the nursery. Miss Lynne Shaw returned for her 10th year, working as a volunteer.

The nursery team visited Kylemore NS to see an observational app 2BuildaProfile in action.

15 PGCE students from Stanmillis came to visit the nursery and listen to a short presentation on outdoor play at Windmill.

The nursery class took part in a yearlong project with Sperrinview Special School, funded by the IEF's Pact programme. The classes visited each other's classes and outdoor areas and worked with professional artist, Grainne Kielty to create outdoor art for Windmill and a large wall display for Sperrinview. Throughout the project the classes had 3 sessions with Jo Jingles and 2 with The Gathering Drum. During one of these sessions parents also took part and enjoyed a celebration of the project at Sperrinview.

Due to the sudden death of my dad, the nursery team and Mrs Mary Mullan took the class through a successful inspection process as I was still off. I am very grateful to them all for their support and hard work at this time.Neve Carson spent a week on work experience from Cookstown High School.Staff from St. Michael's NS in Belfast visited the nursery to see how a typical outdoor day unfolds.

The latter covered my sub cover costs for the school.The nursery raised £270 for Marie Curie Cancer Care through a sponsored egg hunt.I attended training in Ballymena run by Playboard on 'Embracing Risk, striking the balance'.

Mrs Sarah Carson undertook her Level 3 Certificate in Forest School Training.Through a bursary from the Play Resource in Belfast, artist Fionnuala Duffin worked with the class over 5 days to create some outdoor art.The nursery class had 3 visits to the Wild Woods area at An Creagan outside Omagh.One child was referred to Education Psychology for assessment.The nursery team visited Mossley NS in Newtownabbey to look at their planning and observation methods.

Vincent Nicholl CASS support officer from EA southern board, met with the whole nursery team to draw up an action plan for the new school year.I attended training in Cornwall led by Juliet Robertson on taking numeracy & literary outdoors. I also spent a day at the outdoor preschool in Cornwall. 23 of the children in the class applied for our P.1, with 2 children transferring to the learning support unit at Dungannon P.S, 1 moving onto Sperrinview, 1 to the Howard and 1 to St. Jarlath's. 35 children applied to the nursery for entry in 2015. There were no appeals. I went to Little Explorers Outdoor preschool in Cornwall for 3 days in July with colleagues from Kylemore & Mossley NS, to see how typical practice in the preschool.I spent a week in Kaunas & Vilnius in Lithuania with colleagues from England, Iceland and America delivering training to parents and staff at 2 new outdoor nurseries. I gave a presentation at Niedcamp at Stranmillis in August on 'Outdoor Learning for All'.

Parents CouncilDervla Weir

This academic year saw the establishment of a Parents Council to allow parents of Windmill to have their voice heard by representatives of the Board of Governors and to continue with the fantastic fundraising support to the school that had been ongoing through the “Family and Friends” charity. The Parents Council is incorporated directly into the School’s structure and is made up of 18 Parent Representatives and 2 Parent Board of Governors. We meet regularly to discuss upcoming parent involvement activities, fundraising ventures and to voice parent concerns.

Parent’s were invited to volunteer as Parent Representatives before the 2014/15 AGM. Those that volunteered met and began immediately to work on organising the Summer Fete. The Fete was very successful and raised £ £1091.68 for the school. Plans were set in place for training from NICIE on the role of the Parent Council for 2015/16 academic year and following this the roles of Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary for the Parents Council would be elected.

Organising fun activities that enrich life at Windmill Integrated Primary School for our children is at the heart of everything the Parents Council do. All Parents are invited to participate as Parent Reps or if preferred simply to volunteer at events. Please join us and get involved for next year!

'Please note that from the 2012/2013 school year, all schools assess pupils using the more challenging Levels of Progression. Due to the more demanding nature of the Levels of Progression, the outcomes for some pupils are likely to seem lower than might have been the case if assessment had been carried out using the previous system of assessment. 2014/2015 outcomes are not therefore directly comparable with results in previous years.'
