Home School Agreement

At The Bishop Wand Church of England School we believe that the success of our students depends on a three way partnership between School, staff, students and parent/carers. We ask you to read and sign the following agreement reflecting this partnership.

Parent/Carers

1. Ensure that my child attends School every day and arrives on time.

2. Contact the School on the first day of any illness and all subsequent days. 

3. Ensure that I am aware of the School Uniform Policy and that my child adheres to the Policy.

6. Keep myself informed of my child’s progress and behaviour in School through the School’s online portal and the student planner.  

7. Attend Parents’ Consultation Evenings and discussion meetings. 

8. Notify the School promptly of any change in contact details. 

9. Encourage my child to adopt the highest standards of behaviour in School and on their journey to and from School. 

10. Support the School Behaviour Policy, including my child attending any detentions given before, during or after School. 

11. Support the School Mobile Phone Policy where mobile phones are handed in to the tutor at the beginning of every day or left at home.
