Home School Agreement

The objective of this agreement is that all members of the Cirrus family and the individual school community – teaching and non-teaching staff, children, family and governors – will strive to ensure that every child fulfils their potential.  

CIRRUS PRIMARY ACADEMY TRUST - We are committed to ensuring that each and every pupil who attends a Cirrus school has the following opportunities during their time at the individual academy:

• Take part in a wide range of trips and visits 

• Engage in performance, presentation and debate 

• Enjoy the arts and value cultural experiences

• Have their talents celebrated and recognised 

• Learn outside to experience the ‘great outdoors’ 

• Represent school at an event – school, Trust and beyond 

THE SCHOOL - We will do our best to: 

• Provide a broad, deep and knowledge rich curriculum, where children become literate and numerate and develop a range of skill and qualities, securing the foundations for progression to the next stage of their education.  

• Encourage the home-school partnership by welcoming parental involvement in school activities, including home learning.  

• Encourage positive and respectful relationships with and between all members of the community. 

• Support children in pastoral matters, including their emotional and social development, and be actively prepared to listen to children. 

• Keep parents informed of pupils’ progress through regular meetings and informal contact, particularly when there are concerns. 

• Set a good personal example. 

PARENTS - I/we will do our best to: 

• Ensure my/our child attends school on time, with an overall good attendance, and arriving each day ready to learn.  

• Support the school in maintaining pupils’ good behaviour and appearance in accordance with school values and uniform policy.  

• Let the school know of any concerns at home which might affect my/our child’s work or wellbeing. 

• Keep the school up to date with home and emergency telephone numbers and provide an explanation in the event of all absences and lateness. 

• Support the school by regularly reading with my/our child/ren and supporting opportunities for home learning. 

• Treat all staff, children and other parents with respect. Under the Education Act, the school has the authority to ban persons from site to protect students, staff and others. 

• Ensure children do not use the school’s play equipment outside of school hours. (The school holds no responsibility for children playing on its equipment outside of school hours).  

• If I drive to and from school, I will park considerately. 

THE PUPIL - I will do my best to: 

• Get to school at the right time with everything I need so that I am ready to learn. 

• Wear the correct uniform and bring what I need each day. Behave well, keep to the school rules and adhere to the school’s values. 

• Show pride in my work and try my best with my learning.  

• Tell a teacher or another adult in the school if something is worrying me. 

• Keep the school clean and tidy both inside and out. 

• Not play on the school’s equipment outside of school hours. This is unsafe as I won’t be supervised.
