Home School Agreement
At St James Primary School, we recognise that children learn best when a purposeful partnership exists between home and school. To ensure our children reach their full potential...
We ask parents to try to
- See that your child goes to school regularly, on time and in correct school uniform
- Let the school know about any problems that might affect our child’s work or behaviour
- Support the school’s policy and guidelines on behaviour
- Take responsibility for the behaviour of your children
- Support your child in homework and other opportunities for home learning
- Attend parents’ evenings and discussions about our child’s progress
- Get involved as much as you can with your child’s life at school.
As the school, we will try to
- Promote a knowledge and love of God and the teachings of Jesus
- Encourage your children to do their best at all times
- Inform you of your child’s progress through regular meetings and an annual report
- Keep you informed about school activities through regular newsletters, notices and the website
- Let you know about any concerns or problems that affect your child’s work or behaviour
- Set, mark and monitor homework and provide feedback to children
- Contact you if there is a problem about illness, injury, punctuality, attendance or uniform
- Listen to your concerns about any aspect of school life
- Deal with any complaints sensitively and within the framework of the school’s complaints procedure.
For our older children (KS2), we think it’s important that they have a responsibility for their behaviours and so we ask them to try
- To be polite and helpful at all times
- To help take care of their school
- To do their class work and homework to the best of their ability
- To come to school looking smart in their school uniform
- To keep the class rules
