RESPECT As we begin our school year, it is important that we set out our standards for respect from the beginning. Simple things like a smile, good eye contact or a “hello” can make a huge difference when forming relationships with new friends and helping others. Small gestures towards others show that you value them and will help to build respect. In the month of September we will be focusing on the Christian value - RESPECT. This is also one of our Key School values. As a whole school community, we will be discussing what RESPECT means and what it should look like within each classroom. We will be looking at: How we show respect for each other and adults in the school community. How children are encouraged to value and respect their own and other people’s belongings. How children are encouraged to show tolerance by accepting feelings, habits or beliefs, racial or ethnic origins that are different from their own. What patience, kindness and good manners should look like in our classroom.   [Open Document] | ☕ Coffee Morning ☕ - Friends Of Mullinahoe - Coffee Morning on Sunday 28th of September from 12.00 - 2.00 pm in the Ardboe Community Centre.

What is a Personal Learning Plan?

What is a Personal Learning Plan?

The PLP is a document which describes what difficulties a child is having and what the school is doing to support them and help them to make progress.

It describes what special educational provision planned for the child will look like in school, who will be involved and what special equipment or resources will be used.

If the school needs to involve the help of services outside the school to support the child, this will also be included in the PLP.

The PLP includes the views of the child, the parent and the staff in school who are involved with the child. The school also talks to parents about how they can best help their child at home to make progress.

 

Why are parents' views an important part of the PLP?

Parents have unique knowledge of their child, and their views and experience contribute to the overall picture of the child’s needs and the best way to support them with their learning and development. This is important information for the school to seek and consider when they are creating a PLP for a child.

The school informs parents about the special educational provision they plan to make for the child within the PLP and asks their opinion about the priority learning areas they would like to focus on with the child.

 

Why are the pupil's views an important part of the PLP?

The pupil has an important role to play in creating their PLP by identifying their strengths and difficulties in learning and giving their views about what the school can do to help them make the best progress possible.

The school will listen to the child’s views about how they learn effectively and will focus on the strategies that work best for them.
