Home School Agreement

Students and Parents

We would like to remind you that by enrolling your child at our school, you have agreed to our Home-School Agreement. This agreement outlines the mutual responsibilities and expectations of the school, parents, and students to ensure a successful and supportive learning environment.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to our shared goals.

As Parent(s)/Carer(s) we will:

• Ensure that the student attends regularly and on time.

• Promote a positive attitude to education and the Academy and encourage the student to take an active part in academy life, including extra-curricular activities.

• Support the academy’s published policies/behaviour guidelines with sanctions, particularly the Acceptable Use of ICT policy.

• Support the student in homework and other opportunities for home learning.

• Inform the Academy as soon as possible about concerns which could affect the student’s learning or behaviour.

• Ensure that the student is appropriately dressed in accordance with the Academy dress code at all times.

• Attend parents’ meetings regarding the student and reply to communications from the Academy.

• Ensure that the student brings the equipment needed for each day.

• Ensure that the Academy has at least one other emergency contact number/email address.

• Avoid taking family holidays in term time.

• Ensure that students do not participate in anti-social or illegal behaviour which brings the Academy into disrepute either online or physically.

• Adhere to the Parent Code of Conduct (available on our website).

As an Academy we will:

• Provide a disciplined, caring and safe environment where students feel valued and using external agencies where appropriate.

• Work together to provide the highest quality education for each individual student.

• Provide a balanced, inclusive curriculum, which allows all students to reach their potential.

• Set regular and meaningful homework.

• Encourage students to work co-operatively, respecting each other, adults and their environment.

• Communicate regularly with parents/carers about general school matters and the progress of their child. We will also try to alert parents to any praiseworthy matters or concerns as soon as possible.

• Work within a framework of equal opportunities and follow a clear anti-bullying policy.

• Facilitate the development of appropriate study skills for the next stage of education.

As a student I will:

• Follow the Academy code of conduct and classroom expectations.

• Attend regularly and arrive on time for both the Academy and lessons.

• Bring all the equipment I need every day.

• Dress in accordance with the Academy dress code at all times.

• Work hard, always to the best of my ability and hand work in on time.

• Respect other people and behave in a polite and considerate way towards others.

• Take an active part in academy life which may include extra-curricular activities.

• Be proud of my achievements and respect the achievement of others.

• Use our academy premises and equipment properly and respect our environment.

• Not participate in any anti-social or illegal behaviour on line or physically that will bring the Academy into disrepute either on or off site.

• I will follow ICT guidelines with regard to security, manners and tolerance.
