Working from Home

Home-School Agreement

The School will endeavour to provide an environment that is healthy and safe for its pupils and that promotes high standards of work and behaviour. Through the curriculum offered, pupils have the opportunity to achieve their full potential and equip themselves to play their part in the modern world. There will be regular reports, both in written communication and in annual parents' evenings, to keep parents informed of progress.

Parents will endeavour to support their son/daughter in his/her learning by encouraging him/her to attend school regularly, punctually and properly dressed and equipped for work. They will encourage their son/daughter to complete all classwork and homework to the best of their ability and through attendance at parents‟ evenings support their son/daughter‟s academic progress. They will inform the School of any concerns or problems that might affect their son/daughter‟s work or behaviour and support all school policies.

Pupils will endeavour, both in and around the School, to behave in a manner that will not endanger the health, safety, property or well being of themselves or others or reflect badly on the School‟s reputation. They will recognise that the classroom is an area of learning, for themselves and their peers. They will be well behaved and, through self-discipline and hard work, build a positive environment in which to study. They should cooperate with members of staff without argument or rudeness, abide by the “Code of Conduct” for pupils and respond positively to school discipline.

Use of Social Media: Pupils must use social media responsibly and in a way that does not cause offence to pupils or staff; jeopardise the safety of themselves or others; or bring the School into disrepute. The School is not responsible for the investigation or punishment of any misuse of social media by pupils outside of school.
