Working Together

We want your child’s time at our school to be happy and educationally fulfilled.
To achieve this we believe working together is important.

Such a partnership requires you as parents to:

  • Support the school’s aims and objectives.
  • Encourage self-discipline in your child by re-enforcing the school’s behaviour policy.
  • Ensure your child attends school regularly and on time and notify us of any reason or absence.
  • Keep us informed of anything at home that might cause a change in the behaviour of your child.
  • Support extra-curricular activities such as homework, concerts, sports days & parents’ evenings.

We as a school will:

  • Keep you informed about school activities.

  • Encourage children to do their best and providing a creative curriculum.

  • Contact you if there is a problem with attendance, punctuality or P.E. kit.

  • Let you know of any concerns about your child’s work or behaviour.

  • Send home curricular information and an annual report.

  • Set appropriate homework.

  • Arrange parent meetings during which progress will be discussed.

We look forward to working with you.
