Home-School Agreement

Working Together

It is important to everyone connected with the school that the we provide an effective educational experience and that the environment students experience is a safe and supportive one. To this end, both parents and students are asked to adhere to our Home-School Agreement.

The school will:

  • Provide a safe, caring environment for all students.
  • Be welcoming and offer opportunities for all parents to become involved in the life of the school.
  • Provide challenging programmes of teaching and homework to meet the individual learning needs of all students.
  • Encourage each student to achieve his/her unique potential to the full.
  • Encourage high standards of work and behaviour through building good relationships and developing a sense of responsibility.
  • Regularly inform parents of their child’s progress.
  • Inform parents promptly of any concerns that relate to their child’s attendance, work, or behaviour.
  • Send a letter informing you if your child’s attendance falls below 94.9%.

Parents will:

  • Ensure that their child goes to school regularly, on time, and that the school is notified immediately of any absence.
  • Ensure that their child is appropriately dressed in school uniform and properly equipped for the school day.
  • Support their child in developing personal responsibility for achieving high standards of work and behaviour.
  • Support and encourage their child with homework activities.
  • Attend school meetings to discuss their child’s progress.
  • Work with the school to address any concerns or problems that may affect their child’s attendance, work, or behaviour.

As a student, I will:
