Home School Agreement

We ask our families to agree to the following:

 As a parent/carer of a pupil at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery, I will:

• Make sure my child arrives at school on time, properly dressed and equipped.
• Make sure my child attends every day and notify the school promptly of reasons for any absence.
• Not take my child out of school for family holidays or trips during term time.
• Make arrangements for my child's safe return home at the appropriate time.
• Support my child's learning, ensuring the completion of home-learning set and their participation in any school trips and visits.
• Support the school's policies and guidelines for learning, attendance, equality, discipline and good behaviour.
• Let the school know about any concerns that might affect my child's work or behaviour.
• Read all the information sent home as this gives me important details of relevant policies, meetings, workshops, activities, newsletters and open days.
• Attend learning review evenings as well as other meetings about my child's progress.
• Speak positively about the school in front of my child and raise any concerns with the headteacher or school office in a sensitive and appropriate way.
• Work with the school so that, together, we can help my child be their very best.
