Coleshill C of E Primary School

Home School Partnership

We see your child for about five hours a day - a comparatively small amount of time compared with that spent with you. We are convinced that your support is essential to your child's happiness and progress. Parents / carers and teachers need to work together for the sake of the children.

Every school year we ask parents and pupils to sign an agreement:

Parents/carers: I/We will try to:

• See that my child goes to school regularly, on time and properly dressed and equipped.
• Provide an explanation if my child is absent.
• Avoid taking holidays in term time.
• Make the school aware of any concerns or problems that might affect my child's work or behaviour.
• Support the school's policies and guidelines.
• Support my child with homework and other opportunities for home learning.
• Attend parents' evenings and discussions on my child's progress, where possible.
• Get to know about my child's work and life in school.

School: the school will:

• Strive to promote each child's health, safety and happiness.
• Encourage each child to do their best at all times.
• Encourage each child to take care of the school and grounds and others around him/her.
• Provide a broad and balanced curriculum including extra-curricular opportunities and strive to meet the individual needs of each child.
• Let parents know about any concerns or problems that affect their child's work, behaviour, attendance and punctuality.
• Keep parents informed about general school matters and, about their child's progress.
• Arrange parents' evenings during which progress will be discussed.
• Be open, welcoming and responsive at all times and offer opportunities for parents to become involved in the life of the school.

Pupils: I will try to:

• Treat others as I would like to be treated.
• Follow the school rules.
• Be responsible for my own actions and belongings.
• Attend school regularly and on time.
• Do all classwork and homework as well as I can.
• Be polite, helpful and considerate to others.
• Wear the school uniform and be tidy in appearance.
• Remember that I represent my school both inside and outside of it.
• Keep the school free from litter and take care of school property.
