Home and School Partnership

The child’s first and most significant educators are the child’s parents / carers. From the moment the child is born (or even before), the nature of the experiences and dialogue within the home environment, contribute significantly to the development of the child. When the child starts school, they have the opportunity to engage in a range of experiences to develop their academic, personal and social skills, building upon and extending the experiences developed in the home. As a result, it is important that families and school see the child’s education and development as a shared responsibility, recognising the unique experiences that each can bring.

Positive relationships between home and school are crucial. It is important to show the child that home and school are places that work together, with the child’s best interests at the centre of everything we do. In addition to termly parent consultation evenings, parents are always welcome to discuss their child’s development and progress by arranging to talk with their child’s class teacher. We also look forward to welcoming you to the variety of school events that take place throughout the school year.

By forging a mutually respectful home and school partnership, we enhance the opportunities for the child to flourish and to realise their full potential.
