The Learning Environment
I as a Parent/Carer will:
- Make sure that my child will arrive at school by 8.45 am.
- Make sure that my child is wearing named school uniform or other suitable clothing and that they wear their PE kit on their PE days.
- Endeavour to provide a safe, secure and happy environment at home for my child, acknowledging that they learn at home.
A Healthy, Happy Community
I as a Parent/Carer will:
- Let the school know of any concerns or worries that may be affecting my child’s learning, behaviour or ability to do homework, as this can then be resolved quickly.
- Support the school by encouraging my child to develop a positive attitude towards our diverse, multi-cultural community.
- Attend meetings with my child’s teacher and other staff, aiming to be positive and productive, working towards moving my child on in their learning.
- Support and work with you to ensure that the behaviour management policies of the school are maintained, particularly with my child.
- Encourage a positive attitude towards my child’s education and our school. If I have any concerns, I will come and discuss them with you as it is much healthier to work out solutions and move on.
- Read all information sent home as this gives me important details of relevant policies, meetings, workshops, activities, newsletters and open days.
Homework
You as Parent/Carers will:
- Please support the school by making sure that homework tasks are completed and returned on time. A child who hasn’t completed their homework is often an unhappy, worried one!
