The Home school agreement outlines the responsibilities and expectations for all members of the school community (staff, parents and children), with the notion of partnership and working together to achieve the best for children at Avonmore.
The school’s responsibilities
The school is responsible for providing a broad and balanced curriculum that develops a range of personal and social skills, that promotes independent and co-operative learning and that develops a wide range of intellectual and physical skills. The school is also responsible for delivering a wider curriculum that fosters an awareness of spiritual, social, moral and cultural development including citizenship. We aim to develop an appreciation of imagination and the wonder of life.
The school is also responsible for communicating with parents through making available:
end of term newsletters
information about school trips
sending home a curriculum bulletin
your child’s report
informal feedback about children from teachers before and after school at a time when the teacher is able to talk to parents
information about the curriculum
information about supporting your child’s reading
letters home about any important issues, as they arise
holding parents’ evenings
up-to-date information via the school website
The Parental Responsibilities
We believe that parental support and encouragement are important factors in raising children’s achievement.
For your child to get the most benefit from their time in school and in order to establish good habits and routines parents can help in the following ways:
ensuring that their children are regular attendees, as children who are absent from school regularly miss covering areas of the curriculum and often fall behind in their work.
ensuring that children are punctual. Children who are regularly late find it hard to settle for the rest of the school day
collecting their children promptly at 3.30pm or 4:30 after clubs
making sure that children are not too tired to concentrate
ensuring that the child has the right equipment for that day, e.g. book bag
phoning, e-mailing or sending a letter if children are ill
organising holidays during school holidays
going to the child’s class teacher and offering help in school, if they have the time
attending parents’ evenings
bringing concerns or worries to the attention of staff or the Headteacher
using the correct procedures for dealing with issues that the school may need to investigate
The school’s expectations of its pupils
At Avonmore we believe:
Children are delightful when they:
walk around the school sensibly and quietly
listen to their teachers
listen to one another
listen to other staff and other adults
work together in the classroom
play together in the playground
take care of one another
have good table manners
say please and thank you
take care of their own property
take care of one another’s property
take care of school property
The school expects all members of the school community to :
have positive attitudes towards their work and others, in line with the Behaviour Policy
bring any concerns or worries to the attention of staff
all policies are available for Parents/Carers to read. Copies are available on the policies page and from the school office
We look forward to working with all Avonmore pupils to help them make the best start they can in their education career.
