the friendship Charter
We recognise that the positive ethos within the school is based upon the development of good relationships between the children, the staff team and their parents.
The children themselves have created a ‘Friendship Charter’ of their own and it is this framework which underpins the behaviour policy and guides their conduct in school.
We agree that at Hunter’s Bar Infant School we will:
- 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
supporting your child’s learning
To support and extend the learning taking place in school, we encourage parents and carers to become regularly involved in the following ways:
- reading and sharing books with your child at home
- talking to your child about what they have been learning
- sharing fun activities or ‘home tasks’ that reflect what they have been learning at school
- keeping abreast of the current topics being taught in school via curriculum information meetings, parental workshops and the half termly curriculum newsletter you will receive from school
- attending regular meetings with the class teacher to discuss your child’s progress
Parents and carers are welcome to view their child’s work and briefly chat with teachers at the start and end of each school day. On occasion, you may need a longer discussion to talk something over in detail. If you have any concerns about your child, please make an appointment for a mutually convenient meeting time with the class teacher. We would also encourage you to make your child’s teacher aware of any change in home circumstances that may impact upon their learning.
Open Evening meetings for parents and teachers are held in the Autumn and Spring terms. In the summer term you will receive an annual report for your child and may wish to make an appointment to talk it through with the class teacher.
