Home School Agreement
Good
communication between the school and the home is essential.
It is widely accepted that children achieve far more when schools and
families work together. Your
support and encouragement are vital if your child is to make the most of their
time at school. We are confident
that we already have good relationships with parents and pupils, but the
Home-School Agreement will strengthen and formalise all our expectations.
This
agreement is a serious undertaking by both the school and parents.
If you or your child should break the agreement, the head teacher will
want to discuss the matter with you. Please
remember that the school also signs the agreement and it is equally important
for us to keep to our side of the bargain.
We are confident that this new initiative will build on the success of
our open door policy and lie comfortably alongside our discipline policy to
further improve standards in our school.
What follows is a copy of the Home/School Agreement sent to all new pupils and parents starting at Malton Community Primary School.
