home school agreement
The Home-School Agreement is a document that outlines the school’s aims and responsibilities together with its expectations of parents, families and children.
The School will:
- Create a comfortable, safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and listened to.
- Encourage children to grow in confidence and to become self-motivated.
- Encourage children to develop self-discipline.
- Encourage children to do their best at all times to enjoy a positive sense of achievement.
- Welcome difference, celebrate diversity and recognise that everyone has an important contribution to make.
- Encourage children to take care of their surroundings and others around them.
- Inform parents of their child’s progress.
- Inform parents about what the teachers aim to teach the children each term.
- Welcome and encourage the involvement of parents and carers.
The Parent, Carers and Family will:
- Make sure their child arrives at school on time at 8:50 am and is collected at 3:20 pm.
- Make sure their child attends school regularly and provide an explanation if child is absent.
- Take an active and supportive interest in their child’s work and progress.
- Attend Open Evenings to discuss their child’s progress.
Together we will encourage the child to uphold the Friendship Charter:
- Be polite to everyone.
- Try not to hurt people’s feelings or bodies.
- Be honest and truthful even when things go wrong.
- Ask people to join in.
- Share and take turns fairly.
- Listen to people and talk together about things.
- Say sorry if things go wrong.
- Use equipment and property carefully and sensibly.
- Help each other whenever we can.
Together we will:
- Make each other aware of any concerns or problems that might affect the child’s work or behaviour.
- Support the child’s learning to help them achieve their best.
- Promote the ethos of the school.
Parents and carers are asked to sign the Home School Agreement as a gesture of willingness to work in partnership with the school.
