As the Parent/Carer:
I will do my best to:
- Work in partnership with the school teams to get the best outcomes for my child.
- Treat all members of the school community with care and respect.
- Engage in parent meetings and work together with the school in order to achieve the best outcomes for my child.
- Read all communications sent home by the school and respond where necessary.
- Communicate to the school any concerns that I have about my child that may affect their behaviour in school or ability to learn
- Communicate with school staff during core school hours (8:00-4:30pm for reception; messages for teachers will be responded to after their teaching is finished and not during learning time).
- Make sure communication with the school is respectful. I recognise that abuse against staff or other parents will not be tolerated.
- Follow the school’s policies around attendance- notify the school if my child will be absent and request approval for holidays during term time.
