Care for your child; to keep him / her safe; to endeavour to excite and stimulate your child in the education that we have to offer.

Fulfil all the promises as set out in our document ‘A Child’s Right’ (preceding Every Child Matters by 14 years).

Challenge your child and encourage him / her to progress at a good rate appropriate to his / her ability.

Identify any special needs and adopt the appropriate strategies to tackle these needs, including supporting the Able, Gifted and Talented.

Treat you and your child as genuinely valued members of our school community.

Openly invite you and your child to evaluate out school and put forward the ideas and opinions which may help our school to continue to move forward.

Be open and welcoming at all times and to keep you informed regularly on school news and policies.
