Home School Agreement
at Sacred Heart Primary School

As a school, we will do our best to:

• Support your child’s wellbeing and safety by providing a safe, supportive and caring environment.

• Help and encourage your child to reach their full potential.

• Monitor and communicate with parents and carers regularly on your child’s progress.

• Provide a broad and balanced curriculum that caters for all children.

• Promote high standards of behaviour so we can maintain a safe environment for all children.

• Offer your child opportunities to develop a sense of responsibility, form healthy social relationships and build their self-esteem.

• Set homework that supports the delivery of the curriculum and mark it where appropriate.

• Offer opportunities for parents and carers to get involved in school life.

• Communicate between home and school through letters, newsletters, text, email and the school website.

• Respond to communications from parents in a timely manner, following school policies.

• Encourage good attendance and address any concerns with parents or carers where necessary.

Parents/carers - I will do my best to:

• Make sure my child attends school regularly and on time. I will notify school if my child will be absent.

• Make sure my child is dressed in the correct uniform and brings their PE kit to school where necessary.

• Support school to make sure my child maintains a consistently high standard of behaviour.

• Encourage my child to try their best so they can reach their full potential.

• Communicate to the school any concerns that I have about my child that may affect their behaviour in school or ability to learn.

• Make sure communication with the school is respectful, and that I make every reasonable effort to address my communications to the appropriate member of staff.

• Understand that I should communicate with staff during core school hours, and although they may at times respond outside of those hours, I can’t always expect that.

• Make sure that my child completes their homework on time, and raise any issues that my child has with their teachers.

• Read and follow the school’s policies.

• 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.

Pupils - I will do my best to:

• Arrive at school on time and ready to learn.

• Try my best to do my work and ask for help if I need it.

• Wear the correct school uniform and bring my PE kit to school when I need it.

• Bring all the equipment I need each day.

• Be friendly and caring towards other children and adults.

• Listen to instructions from the adults at school and follow the school rules.

• Do my homework and bring it back to school on time.

• Look after the school equipment and be respectful of the school environment
