he curriculum is designed at Newfield TSchool to ensure that every student receives an education that leads to both opportunity and choice, removing barriers for future success. We offer a curriculum rich in both breadth and depth that allows students to acquire the necessary knowledge to be applied in both further study, whether that be in upper school or beyond, and in the wider world context encouraging students to become active citizens in the community, both locally; nationally and globally. Enrichment opportunities developing cultural capital and citizenship are available throughout the year in activities provided outside the timetabled school day, such as clubs, trips and visiting speakers. These all contribute to the wider curriculum offer at Newfield as well as providing ideal evidence for the Newfield Diploma. Qualifications that are on offer at upper school through the options process are currently History, Geography, Computing, Spanish, Art, Music, Design Technology, Photography and Film Studies at GCSE with vocational qualifications available in Health and Social Care, Sports Studies, Enterprise, Imedia, Performing Arts (Drama), Construction, and Hospitality and Catering. These support our core offer to ensure the breadth of routes to suit the diverse needs of all students.

Edulink EduLink is a web / app-based service that we use to communicate with parents. Parents and students will each have their own accounts that they must activate. What is on there? It has lots of really useful information for students and their families to support them in their learning including: • Attendance and punctuality information • Homework • Behaviour and achievement information • Student timetable • Student reports • Link to the school website • Update personal information and permissions Why does everyone need to use it? • This is how students will know about their homework and be able to organise themselves effectively. • It is an important way that parents can support their child in their learning as they can discuss homework / attendance / behaviour etc using up to date information. • The school uses it as a tool to communicate with families and will send messages via the app. Communication/Homework @newfieldsheffield At Newfield School we use Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to promote events and celebrate success. Search for us at: Students will be set maths homework on the website https://www.sparxmaths.uk/ They will be introduced to the platform in their maths lessons, where they will be shown how to access their personal account, the expectations of standards and how to navigate their way round the platform. Their first homework will be about logging on and using the platform correctly. Sparx will set homework once a week that is expected to take around 30 minutes. This will involve completing retrieval questions on a couple of topics with support tutorials if needed. The working out for homework is completed in a separate homework book which students will show to their teacher on hand in day. 15

At Newfield School we are curious, considerate, and committed. As part of the rewards system, we award students for demonstrating the 3 school values. This takes place each half term with a Community Breakfast all students attend. During the Community Breakfast students are nominated by their form tutors for demonstrating the 3 C’s in their learning. The following rewards are given; • Being curious in their learning • Being considerate in the Newfield Community • Being committed to their learning or extra-curricular opportunities in school There are additional awards for excellent attendance. Celebrating the Newfield School Values Newfield School Rewards Passports Within Community Breakfast there is also a passport draw. Students are issued with a passport where they can gain stamps for 100% attendance, attending extra-curricular activities or revision, or showing consideration in the corridors. Once complete they are then entered into a prize draw. 21

How does my child pay for school dinners? We operate a cashless system at Newfield School. Your child can bring money to school to put on their dinner card or have their fingerprint taken once you have given permission. Alternatively you can pay for school dinners on ParentPay at www.parentpay.com. A username and password are created for you by school. If you need any assistance with ParentPay please visit the frequently asked question page https://www.parentpay.com/parent-account-faqs/ or contact us at officemanager@newfield.sheffield.sch.uk Reports will be uploaded to EduLink which will include information about your child’s attitude to learning and homework. Reports also include a GCSE target range, for Y10 and Y11 students, and their performance in each subject area following each of the three assessment points throughout the year. 23
