Home School Agreement
The aim of our home-school agreement is to encourage consistency, equality and fairness in all matters about the school and to enable all children to reach their full potential. This is achieved most effectively when all staff, parents and pupils understand their responsibilities and work together towards the same goals.
Our home school agreement is underpinned by our three core rights:
The right to learn without unfair distraction
The right to be safe physically and emotionally
The right to be treated with respect
These core rights apply to Federation children and their families as well as our staff.
As a Federation you can expect us to:
- provide a broad and balanced curriculum through high quality teaching and stimulating learning environments
- engage, challenge and motivate all learners
- encourage children to try their best at all times
- promote high standards, expectations and equality of opportunity
- closely monitor attendance and engage with families where attendance is below what we expect (96% and above attendance)
- inform families promptly if there are any concerns about children’s learning or wellbeing
- keep parents and carers informed about their child’s progress via consultations (twice per year) and an annual report
We expect parents and carers to:
- support the Federation by accepting its aims, values, policies and procedures
- bring your child to school every day, on time. School start times are 8.45am for Early Years and 8.40am for Years 1-6.
- ensure your child wears the correct uniform
- inform the school immediately of any changes to emergency contact details
- inform the school if there is anything that your child is struggling with at home so that we can provide the best support
- read communications issued by the school, such as newsletters, emails and the website, to stay informed about school activities and policies
- engage with and sign up to Studybugs and Google Classroom
- support your child with home learning; this could be reading, phonics, or using learning platforms such as Times Tables Rockstars / Accelerated Reader
- support and attend school events where possible
- monitor your child’s online activity so that they stay safe online
We expect children to:
- come to school every day, on time, ready to learn and wearing uniform
- demonstrate our three core rights
- try your best
- use kind words and actions, online and in person.
- let an adult know straight away if you are worried or unhappy
- look after school property
- complete the learning tasks set by the teacher in school and at home
