At Meldreth Primary School, we believe that a child’s success in education is built upon a strong partnership between the child, their parents/carers, and the school. We recognise that each part of this triangle needs the support and encouragement of the other two.

Together, we commit to the following shared responsibilities:

The School Will:

• Provide your child with a high standard of education, following rigorous national guidelines within a broad and balanced curriculum.

• Ensure the learning environment is stimulating, inclusive, and challenging.

• Celebrate your child’s academic progress and personal achievements.

• Provide the support and scaffolding your child needs to reach their full potential.

• Care for your child’s safety and wellbeing through attentive observation, listening, and a nurturing approach.

Parents/Carers Will:

To help my child make the most of their education, I will:

• Ensure my child arrives at school by 8:40am, ready to start the day, dressed in named school uniform (or appropriate clothing), with their PE kit kept in school.

• Inform the school of any concerns or issues that might affect my child’s learning, behaviour, or ability to complete homework, so that support can be provided promptly.

• Attend parent-teacher meetings and other relevant discussions, aiming to work positively and productively with the school to support my child’s progress.

• Support the school’s behaviour policies and work collaboratively to uphold them with my child.

• Encourage a positive attitude towards school and learning. If I have any concerns, I will approach the school directly and respectfully to seek a constructive resolution.

• Read all school communications (newsletters, letters, emails, etc.) to stay informed about policies, events, meetings, and school life.

Children Will:

I will:

• Take responsibility for the things I do, both in school and at home.

• Be responsible for completing my classwork and homework.

• Ask for help when I need it, and always try my best.

• Be kind and speak politely to everyone, both inside and outside of school.

• Take good care of the school building, equipment, and grounds.

• Behave in a way that keeps myself and others safe.

• Be helpful and respectful.

• Tell an adult if I am feeling worried, upset, or unsafe.

Together, we will work to:

• Promote high standards of behaviour, attendance, and learning.

• Foster respect, resilience, and a love of learning.

• Create a safe, inclusive, and happy school environment where every child can thrive.
