Parent's Area - Home School Agreement

We believe that children learn most effectively in a secure, happy environment, where both home and school work together to support the child. To strengthen the sense of partnership that already exists we are now offering a partnership agreement to the parents of our pupils.

We offer:

- to help your child reach his/her potential;

- equality of opportunity to each pupil;

- a broad, balanced curriculum in accordance with the National Curriculum;

- an environment which supports a high level of achievement;

- an environment which promotes the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all our children;

- a stimulating internal and external environment that encourages children to be curious and enthusiastic;

- an environment which fosters self confidence, self discipline and thereby safe children;

- links with the local community

- regular communication with parents;

- high levels of attendance;

- a school uniform/colour  for all our pupils;

- a wide range of extra-curricular activities

- the opportunity to study a foreign language in Years 5 and 6;

- an active School Association;

- to promote good behaviour and discipline;

- clear guidelines on Homework;

- to let you know about any concerns or problems which may affect your child's work or behaviour.

We ask you to:

- encourage your children with their work;

-  spend time talking about and looking at work;

- attend school functions including parents' evenings;

- support the school's home school reading and homework policies;

- support the school's efforts to promote good behaviour and discipline;

- encourage your child to attend extra-curricular activities;

- let the school know about any concerns or problems that might affect your child's work or behaviour;

- inform us when you know that your son/daughter will be absent, for example, medical visits;

- inform us as soon as possible when your son/daughter is absent;

- take holidays, whenever possible, during the school holidays;

- inform us of any change to your contact numbers;

- ensure that your child is in a fit condition to be able to take part in a full school day when they attend school.

- support The Elloughton School Association

It is important in a rapidly changing world that children have a sense of security and belonging. This document attempts to add to those feelings.

For your child to succeed we need your support and agreement.
