In this blog post I aim to re-introduce myself and outline my role at Abbotswell School. With this blog, I plan to provide the school community with regular updates on these areas that I oversee and support with, any upcoming events and of course promote what’s happening in school.
My name is Mrs Tysom, I have been Depute Head Teacher at Abbotswell for almost three years. Before that, I was a class teacher for eight years shared between Abbotswell School (where I completed my probationary year back in 2011-12!!) and Riverbank school, where I taught for two of those years before I returned!
I absolutely love teaching and helping others. My current role keeps me busy supporting both children and adults. It is rewarding however it can of course become extremely challenging too as no two days are the same!
My main function is to support the Head Teacher in the operational and strategic management of the school and deputise in the absence of the Head Teacher as per ACC policy including ACC Child Protection arrangements.
By doing so, I help to develop, implement and review school policies. I assist with the auditing and writing of the School Improvement Plan and annual Standards and Quality Report (SQuIP). I am responsible for the operational and strategic management of targeted support (ASN provision) within the school focused on P4-P7, including SfG and ELSA. I liaise with partner and outside agencies to ensure pupils’ needs are met. I line manage non-teaching staff: timetabling, facilitate meetings, co-ordinate CPD and undertake corporate CRD for non-teaching staff. I am responsible for timetabling of work experience pupils. I assist with the induction of new staff, supply staff, students and work experience pupils. I support school budget management, including meetings with the Authority accountant. I am responsible for the requisition of resources as required. I aid to co-ordinate annual activities: Christmas concerts, Theatre productions, Parent Interviews. I collate all information for educational visits as required by ACC Excursion Policy. I support teachers and pupils in Early, First and Second level classes with a focus on P4-7. I team teach from Nursery – P.7 as timetable allows. I oversee arrangements for P.7/S1 transition: liaising with Lochside Academy and the ASG Transition group. I am responsible for Quality Assurance procedures throughout the school, including planning, evaluation and assessment, tracking and monitoring practice with a focus on P4-7 classes. I oversee behaviour management in school with support from Head Teacher and Principal Teacher. I communicate with parents/carers regularly. I attend Parent Council meetings. I am the Technology co-ordinator. I mentor our Probation Teacher.
At Abbotswell we have access to many supports outwith our school however there are many supports we have available in school too.
Some of these have started again already this new school session and some will throughout the year, often on a needs basis / when staffing allows etc.

Outside staff who facilitate Abbotswell School:
Welcome back to school, you have completed one full week of school in the Home School learning style again and wow there have been so many great achievements.
For a start our engagement numbers are super high!! We are delighted with this and we hope that we can maintain this!
We have entered ALL classes into a Sumdog class challenge so we need you to play Sumdog games to try and help get our school to win the challenge. It is between all classes that entered from schools in Aberdeen! Go Abbotswell!
It is great to see the fantastic work being done across all of the classrooms. I will be posting some of this to Twitter and on here each day! Keep an eye out to see if it is yours!
Remember our Twitter handle is @abbotswell and the hashtags we like to use are #LearningtogrowGrowingtolearn #inthistogether

Christmas Cinema day is one of my very favourite festive events of the Term 2 calendar. We choose a movie to watch and then watch it during the school day – what a treat!!!!
I wonder what each class will choose to watch this year?!!!!
This will take place on Wednesday the 16th of December! And what is even better is that we are asking everyone to come to school in their Pyjamas that day so we are all nice and cosy, ready to watch the Christmas movie! Just remember that we will be outside for playtime and lunchtime too so wear something warm enough for doing that too!
We will have a small treat provided to have when watching the film too!!
Christmas Jumper Day is fast approaching!!!
It will be happening in school on Friday the 11th December!
We will be raising awareness and some well deserved funds for Cash for Kids who have been amazing at supporting our school community.
Thank you all so much for designing your Little Lighthouses. I have two classes and I can already see some clear themes emerging that we will give to our commissioned artist to help recreate!
