Home School Agreement

We believe in a strong partnership between the school and the parents or guardians, in the best interests of pupils, and are in fact legally required to ask you to enter into an Agreement of Partnership.

Parents or guardians, like the school, have duties towards the children. We set out these duties below as pledges, and include pledges for your child as well:

Pledges for the Parent(s) or Guardian(s):

I/we promise that, having chosen Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School, I/we will accept the school’s overall aims and objectives, and positively support the class teacher.

 I/we will endeavour to:

  • ensure regular attendance and punctuality, and provide explanations for absence

  • support school and staff in achieving high standards of work and behaviour

  • ensure that the school has up-to-date information for emergency contact

We will seek in every way to give your child an excellent education, both academic and social.

 The School will endeavour to:

  • set high standards, and provide a quality education for your child
