The foundation of this starts at the Infant stage and children are expected to develop good independent work habits. Children need a time in the day and a suitable place for quiet shared learning experiences with their parents. We ask parents to help by encouraging children to follow up theme work from school as well as sharing their reading books on a regular basis. Establishing sound practice in the early years supported by regular discussion of school themes in the home will be of great value. Records A file for each child is kept in school in which relevant information is noted, examples of work are selected and progress in the Early Learning Goals and National Curriculum is recorded.
Teachers also maintain records of work done in individual classes and of topics chosen.
This is important as much information is recorded on a group basis and therefore needs to be extrapolated in order to protect the privacy of other pupils. Learning courtesy, consideration and high standards of behaviour are an important part of growing up. Where problems arise and persuasion and school sanctions are not enough, we call on parents to work with us to find solutions. We are very aware that we share responsibility with parents for children in our school and make every effort to provide the quality of care provided by any responsible parent. We expect the children to behave in a disciplined manner when in school.
