Dear Parent/Carer,

This “Home School Agreement” outlines how we will work together to enable your child to “enjoy, learn and succeed” at Beckfoot Phoenix Primary Special School.

Please read and sign the agreement and return to school as soon as possible.

If you would like to discuss the Agreement, please do not hesitate to contact school.

We look forward to working with you,

 

Rachel and School Staff Team

 

Enjoy

We want learning to be fun. We want everyone to enjoy being part of our school community and to feel safe, valued and respected within an inclusive school where equality of opportunity is promoted and 'difference' is celebrated. We want our families to feel confident and supported and we want everyone to have a voice.

Learn

We want to work closely with our families so that our children are at the heart of everything we do. We want our staff to be motivated to think outside the box in providing a stimulating, challenging and appropriate curriculum so that every child is enabled to reach their full potential and learn purposeful skills for life.

Succeed

We want our children to succeed within a positive and rewarding community environment where high expectations, consistency, boundaries and structures enable them to become confident and independent learners at home and at school and where every small step of success is recognised and celebrated.

At Beckfoot Phoenix, we will aim to:

• care for your child’s safety and happiness
• ensure that your child achieves his/her full potential
• meet your child’s needs through the curriculum we provide and help them to develop the skills needed for ‘life’
• keep you informed about general school matters and about your child’s progress and achievements
• be open and welcoming
• offer opportunities for you to meet with other parents and to become involved in school life

 

At home, we will aim to:

• make sure that my child goes to school regularly, on time, and is appropriately dressed and fed
• inform school if my child is ill or absent for any reason
• let the school know about any concerns or problems
• attend clinics, parent’s evenings, reviews and meetings about my child
• keep the school informed about personal information
• get to know about my child’s life at school
• value and support the work of the school and the successes of my child

 

Together, we will aim to encourage our children to:

• work hard, enjoy learning and develop independence
• understand the school rules: take turns to speak and listen; be kind; my feelings count.
