Home School Partnership
The Home School Partnership Agreement reflects the expectations placed on the school, parents/carers and students. The aim of the agreement is for all parties to work together co-operatively to ensure that children are fully supported to thrive in the school environment and are enabled to achieve their potential.
AS A SCHOOL WE WILL:
- Support your child’s wellbeing and safety by providing a safe, supportive and caring environment
- Help and encourage your child to reach their full potential
- Monitor and update on your child’s progress at parent meetings and through regular grade reports.
- Communicate any concerns about your child’s attendance/behaviour/wellbeing with you as their parent or carer, and respond to any concerns you or your child may have
- Provide a broad and balanced curriculum that caters for all children
- Promote high standards of behaviour, and outline clear expectations in our behaviour policy so we can maintain a safe environment for all children
- Set homework that supports the delivery of the curriculum and mark it where appropriate
- Offer opportunities for parents and carers to get involved in school life
- Communicate between home and school through notices, newsletters, text, email and the school website
- Respond to communications from parents in a timely manner, following school policies
