Home School Agreement : Working Together for Every Child

At Lainesmead Primary School and Nursery, we believe that children thrive when home and school work together in genuine partnership.

Our Home School Agreement reflects our shared commitment to helping every child strive, achieve and excel, and to believe in a limitless future.

Education is most successful when expectations are clear, communication is open and relationships are built on trust and respect.

A shared commitment

Our agreement outlines the responsibilities of:

• The School
• Parents and Carers
• Pupils

It reflects our core values of Respect, Cooperation, Resilience, Compassion, Responsibility and Curiosity.

These values guide how we:

• Support children’s learning
• Promote positive behaviour
• Encourage regular attendance
• Ensure safety and wellbeing
• Build independence and responsibility

The agreement is not simply a document to sign — it represents a shared understanding of how we work together to support every child.

What this means in practice

For parents and carers, this includes:

• Ensuring regular attendance and punctuality
• Supporting homework and reading
• Maintaining open communication with school
• Promoting safe and respectful behaviour
• Supporting our online safety expectations

For pupils, this means:

• Being ready to learn
• Being respectful
• Being safe
• Upholding our school values
• Taking responsibility for their actions and learning

For school staff, it means:

• Providing a safe, inclusive and ambitious learning environment
• Keeping families informed
• Listening and responding to concerns
• Supporting every child’s wellbeing and progress

Partnership Matters

We know that strong relationships between families and school have a direct impact on children’s confidence, achievement and emotional wellbeing.

By working together, we create:

• Consistent expectations
• Clear communication
• A safe and supportive environment
• High aspirations for every child

Together, we build the foundations for success — both now and in the future.
