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:
- 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.
