Home School Agreement
The government requires that all schools provide a written agreement between home and school, indicating the roles and responsibilities of all partners in the education of the children. Parents will be asked to sign this agreement to show that they are willing to support the school and understand the roles and responsibilities of each partner, whether school, parent or child. Parents will be asked to sign this agreement when their child has been admitted to the school.
We, as teachers, believe that the education of your child is a shared responsibility between yourselves and us. Parental help has always been appreciated by the school as well as being of great encouragement to the children. If you would like to become more involved in the daily life of the school, please let us know.
Parents and Guardians are invited to a parent interview two or three times a year in order to discuss their child’s progress with the class teacher.
There are also occasions when you are invited to see all our work, as a whole. This may include school productions. Activities are organised to raise funds for school equipment and assist charities identified by the School Council.
Newsletters will be available on the website to inform you of school activities, the curriculum, visitors in school and school development. Several times throughout your child’s journey with us we will issue data packs to update our information on your child and family. These will also contain pertinent documents for you to sign so that your child can access all aspects of school life.
Homework Policy
After consultation with parents, staff, governors and following government guidelines our homework procedures are now formalised .Through our Homework Policy we aim to :-
- Ensure a consistent approach to the setting of homework from Reception to Yr 6.
- Encourage children to become progressively independent and responsible for their own work.
- Make parents/carers aware of what is expected of the children and the amount of support that is needed by them.
- Improve, extend and support the learning experience offered to pupils.
- Provide opportunities for parents, pupils and the school to work in partnership and to enjoy the learning experience.
- At Y6 – to prepare children for secondary education.
