Appendix 6: Home/School Agreement

We believe that the most effective education is where there is a partnership between school and home. This

document sets out to make clear the reasonable expectations of each partner in the education process. The

signatories to this agreement will work in partnership to enforce the school’s behaviour policy.

 

Aims and Values

Its guiding principles are academic excellence and personal fulfilment within a forward looking and disciplined environment based on traditional values of mutual respect. We aim to develop a love of learning for its own sake and the potential for good in all our students within a Christian ethos. We are a school of opportunities.
