Home School Agreement

HOME SCHOOL AGREEMENT

All schools must have a written ‘Home-School Agreement’. Its purpose is to forge the links between home and school, with your child at the centre of the system.

The agreement was written through consultation with parents.

We would like you to read through the ‘agreement’ with your child, then support it by signing the appropriate sections overleaf and returning this signed portion to your child’s class teacher as soon as possible.

Thank you.

DRESS POLICY

We have a school uniform which is compulsory.

Please put your child’s name on any clothing that she/he may take off at school, which can easily be mistaken by another child.

THE SCHOOL’S AGREEMENT

We will do our best to:

• Treat your child fairly, care for him/her and ensure his/her happiness and safety.
• Ensure that he/she is well taught and is encouraged to achieve his/her potential in all aspects of school life.
