Links between school and home
The links between school and home are so crucial to the children’s on-going achievement. The class handbook outlines the expectations for home learning for each class.
In working with parents we aim to
- Develop a shared understanding of our school aims, values, policies and practices.
- Encourage parent’s participation in their children’s learning at school and at home.
- Create a relationship based on shared responsibility and mutual respect.
- Involve parents fully in the target setting process.
