               Enner Glynn School
Introduction
Enner Glynn School is a Co–educational
Contributing Primary School that caters for children
in Years 1- 6. The school has a roll of over 300
students and is classified as Decile 7.
It is situated in the suburb of Enner Glynn, in Stoke,
and is 4km from the centre of Nelson. Enner Glynn is
a steadily growing community, which has two
residential subdivisions continuing to be developed. At
present the school has a staff of twelve full time teachers, three part time
teachers, six teacher aides, two administration staff, a property manager, a
gardener and one part time music teacher.


                            Grounds and Property
                            The school itself is located within spacious
                            grounds. The children enjoy the use of two large
                            grassed playing fields, a swimming pool, three
                            adventure playgrounds and large court areas
                            that accommodate netball, tennis, mini- ball and
                            a number of other court activities. The
school grounds are attractively landscaped and the buildings are well
maintained. There are fourteen well-equipped classrooms with one room
that is spare during the first half of the year. This room is used to
accommodate a new class created due to roll growth. The school grounds,
including the swimming pool in summer, are available for community use.
We have undertaken a number of recent property projects to open up our
spaces and develop our ‘learning community’ approach in the School. This
has included opening many classrooms with wide glass doorways and
developing ramps and access around the school to allow the learners to

Enner Glynn School                                 Strategic Plan 2011-2013, Page 3
Growing People
congregate, share and play. We have a number of other projects to
support this which are under development.


Learning Support
We have a well developed special needs programme
which support all of our students who have learning
difficulties. The classroom teacher is responsible for
the learning of all students in their class, however we
have a Special Needs co-ordinator and a number of
other support staff who support the teacher and
learners. We have developed a number of expert
support people for students with a variety of learning
needs. A number of outside agencies also support students within the
school. These include the Public Health Nurse, Resource Teachers, Learning
and Behaviour (RTLB’s), the Dental Therapist, Advisory Services and The
Ministry of Education - Special Education (SE).
Teachers have high expectations of, and for, their students. The children are
presented with challenging and stimulating learning and the positive
relationships between teachers and students are a key factor in the delivery
of high quality learning programmes.

Professional Learning
The school has recently reviewed and developed our
work in assessment practices, we have school wide
learning journals which are focussed strongly on
formative assessment and help provide a record of
some the the child’s learning while they are at Enner
Glynn School. Teachers have been involved in
extensive programmes of Professional Development to
facilitate ongoing improvement in these areas as well
as areas of inquiry learning, creativity and thinking. The School is currently
the Lead School in the Whakatu School’s ICT-PD Contract and has
completed numeracy training with all of its teachers.
                            e-Learning
                            The school has a strong commitment to ICT and
                            all rooms are networked with Apple computers.
                            Printing needs are met through the networking
                            of colour and black and white laser printers and
                            our photocopier is also linked to the network.
                            The school also provides laptop computers for
all teachers. Students can use; classroom computers, 13 digital still
cameras, 3 digital video cameras, one of 8 data projectors, 2 pods of
laptops and we have an automated library system. We are planning to
bring more mobile technologies into the classrooms in the coming years.
The school also has its own website (www.ennerglynn.school.nz) where,
together with other information about the school, our newsletter can be
viewed each fortnight. Students manage much of the content on this site.

The Arts
The School prides itself for its strong Arts and
Performance programmes. It has excelled in the
Community Mask Parade as part of the Nelson Arts
Festival. We have a kapahaka group, two choirs and
a school rock band. Both groups have performed
admirably at the Nelson Arts Festival.
The school is committed to providing its students with
opportunities to learn from high quality artists and
musicians. In 2010 we appointed a teacher for 3 days a week to deliver
specialist performing arts programmes to the classrooms while also
allowing the classroom teachers to be released for their Classroom Teacher
Release.
                              Governance
                              The Enner Glynn School Board of Trustees is
                              entrusted to work on behalf of all stakeholders.
                              It has ultimate accountability for the school’s
                              performance. The trustees set the vision for the
                              school. They provide strategic leadership and
                              ensure that legal and policy requirements are
addressed. Enhancing student achievement is the focus of the Enner Glynn
School Board of Trustees.
The successful governance of the school results from:
•    Effective systems for reporting, self-review, monitoring and appraisal;
•    Clearly documented and understood roles and responsibilities of the board and the
     Principal; and
•    Clear board-approved policies that provide direction for the board, Principal and
     staff.
The board is proactive rather than reactive in its operations and decision
making. It does not involve itself in the day to day running of the school.
Important board’s stakeholders include the:
•    Ministry of Education;
•    Stoke/Nelson community including local Maori and the business community;
•    Parents and caregivers;


Enner Glynn School                                    Strategic Plan 2011-2013, Page 6
Growing People
•    Surrounding schools, early childhoold education facilities; and
•    Nelson City Council.

The board of trustees is composed of five elected parent representatives;
A board chairperson and deputy chairperson elected from the five elected
parent representatives; The Principal and an elected staff trustee; and from
time to time Co-opted or appointed trustees (in particular to provide expert
advice where necessary eg. Maori representative). The board has one
standing committee – that of the Finance Standing Committee. This
committee comprises of the Board Chair (and an elected parent
representative); and the Principal and staff trustee.

Our Mission
Our School’s Mission is “Growing People”. Through
our Vision and Learning Principles we plan to grow
all people at our School or who have a connection
with our School. For students this is in their holistic
learning and growth during their time with us; for the
teachers it is seeing ourselves as learners and
learning ‘with and from’ others in the School; and for
the community it is through the many opportunities
for connecting and learning with our students and our staff. This mission is
emerging and will continue to grow with us as our ideas and philosophies
grow as a group with a common purpose.

                       to OTJs. Although we do use the New Zealand Curriculum Exemplars, there
                       is a need to implement appropriate systems and processes to ensure our OTJs
                       have integrity.

                          - Uses an ‘evidence-based’ approach
                          - Allows for a moderation group to make independent OTJs then share
                            their findings
                          - Makes the most use of National Standards, Literacy Learning

                            justified AND to allow us to evaluate whether consistent decisions are
                             being made over time.

  how effectively we are implementing the School’s Mission, Vision and
  Principles through its policies, systems, programmes and practice.

  • 3. Growing People Enner Glynn School Introduction Enner Glynn School is a Co–educational Contributing Primary School that caters for children in Years 1- 6. The school has a roll of over 300 students and is classified as Decile 7. It is situated in the suburb of Enner Glynn, in Stoke, and is 4km from the centre of Nelson. Enner Glynn is a steadily growing community, which has two residential subdivisions continuing to be developed. At present the school has a staff of twelve full time teachers, three part time teachers, six teacher aides, two administration staff, a property manager, a gardener and one part time music teacher. Grounds and Property The school itself is located within spacious grounds. The children enjoy the use of two large grassed playing fields, a swimming pool, three adventure playgrounds and large court areas that accommodate netball, tennis, mini- ball and a number of other court activities. The school grounds are attractively landscaped and the buildings are well maintained. There are fourteen well-equipped classrooms with one room that is spare during the first half of the year. This room is used to accommodate a new class created due to roll growth. The school grounds, including the swimming pool in summer, are available for community use. We have undertaken a number of recent property projects to open up our spaces and develop our ‘learning community’ approach in the School. This has included opening many classrooms with wide glass doorways and developing ramps and access around the school to allow the learners to Enner Glynn School Strategic Plan 2011-2013, Page 3
  • 4. Growing People congregate, share and play. We have a number of other projects to support this which are under development. Learning Support We have a well developed special needs programme which support all of our students who have learning difficulties. The classroom teacher is responsible for the learning of all students in their class, however we have a Special Needs co-ordinator and a number of other support staff who support the teacher and learners. We have developed a number of expert support people for students with a variety of learning needs. A number of outside agencies also support students within the school. These include the Public Health Nurse, Resource Teachers, Learning and Behaviour (RTLB’s), the Dental Therapist, Advisory Services and The Ministry of Education - Special Education (SE). Teachers have high expectations of, and for, their students. The children are presented with challenging and stimulating learning and the positive relationships between teachers and students are a key factor in the delivery of high quality learning programmes. Enner Glynn School Strategic Plan 2011-2013, Page 4
  • 5. Growing People Professional Learning The school has recently reviewed and developed our work in assessment practices, we have school wide learning journals which are focussed strongly on formative assessment and help provide a record of some the the child’s learning while they are at Enner Glynn School. Teachers have been involved in extensive programmes of Professional Development to facilitate ongoing improvement in these areas as well as areas of inquiry learning, creativity and thinking. The School is currently the Lead School in the Whakatu School’s ICT-PD Contract and has completed numeracy training with all of its teachers. e-Learning The school has a strong commitment to ICT and all rooms are networked with Apple computers. Printing needs are met through the networking of colour and black and white laser printers and our photocopier is also linked to the network. The school also provides laptop computers for all teachers. Students can use; classroom computers, 13 digital still cameras, 3 digital video cameras, one of 8 data projectors, 2 pods of laptops and we have an automated library system. We are planning to bring more mobile technologies into the classrooms in the coming years. The school also has its own website (www.ennerglynn.school.nz) where, together with other information about the school, our newsletter can be viewed each fortnight.

  • 6. Growing People The Arts The School prides itself for its strong Arts and Performance programmes. It has excelled in the Community Mask Parade as part of the Nelson Arts Festival. We have a kapahaka group, two choirs and a school rock band. Both groups have performed admirably at the Nelson Arts Festival. The school is committed to providing its students with opportunities to learn from high quality artists and musicians. In 2010 we appointed a teacher for 3 days a week to deliver specialist performing arts programmes to the classrooms while also allowing the classroom teachers to be released for their Classroom Teacher Release. Governance The Enner Glynn School Board of Trustees is entrusted to work on behalf of all stakeholders. It has ultimate accountability for the school’s performance. The trustees set the vision for the school. They provide strategic leadership and ensure that legal and policy requirements are addressed. Enhancing student achievement is the focus of the Enner Glynn School Board of Trustees. The successful governance of the school results from: • Effective systems for reporting, self-review, monitoring and appraisal; • Clearly documented and understood roles and responsibilities of the board and the Principal; and • Clear board-approved policies that provide direction for the board, Principal and staff. The board is proactive rather than reactive in its operations and decision making. It does not involve itself in the day to day running of the school. Important board’s stakeholders include the: • Ministry of Education; • Stoke/Nelson community including local Maori and the business community; • Parents and caregivers; Enner Glynn School Strategic Plan 2011-2013, Page 6
  • 7. Growing People • Surrounding schools, early childhoold education facilities; and • Nelson City Council. The board of trustees is composed of five elected parent representatives; A board chairperson and deputy chairperson elected from the five elected parent representatives; The Principal and an elected staff trustee; and from time to time Co-opted or appointed trustees (in particular to provide expert advice where necessary eg. Maori representative). The board has one standing committee – that of the Finance Standing Committee. This committee comprises of the Board Chair (and an elected parent representative); and the Principal and staff trustee. Our Mission Our School’s Mission is “Growing People”. Through our Vision and Learning Principles we plan to grow all people at our School or who have a connection with our School. For students this is in their holistic learning and growth during their time with us; for the teachers it is seeing ourselves as learners and learning ‘with and from’ others in the School; and for the community it is through the many opportunities for connecting and learning with our students and our staff. This mission is emerging and will continue to grow with us as our ideas and philosophies grow as a group with a common purpose. Enner Glynn School Strategic Plan 2011-2013, Page 7

Over time this can lead to a culture of ‘Support staff deal with the learners who struggle’. While that is not the prevailing sentiment at this school we wish to develop our practices to further support inclusion and to re- inforce that it is the teacher who is responsible for the child’s learning. So while a teacher aide may be assigned to support learners, that person could work with the more able learners, while the teacher spends more time with those who are not achieving as highly.
