It is by working together that we will be able to promote a positive atmosphere within which our children can flourish.  We ask you to read and sign the following agreement reflecting this partnership.

As a family we will try to:

·       Make sure our child attends school every day.

·       Make sure our child arrives on time, properly equipped for school.

·       Inform the school on the first day of any absence.

·       Make the school aware of any concerns or problems that might affect our child's work or behaviour.

·       Support our child in any work sent home and other home learning opportunities.

·       Attend parents' evenings and discussions about our child's progress.

·       Get to know about our child's life at school.

The staff at Bridekirk Dovenby will ensure that:
