Home/School Agreement

At Springhallow, we value the strong relationships we build with parents and carers and appreciate the dedication they show in raising children with additional needs.

Our Home/School Agreement builds on these foundations, supporting and strengthening this partnership throughout their time at school.

What I can expect from the school:

• A commitment to a high standard of teaching and learning 
• Highly skilled staff with an enhanced understanding of how to support pupils with Autism 
• A safe and positive environment 
• Appropriately regular communication  
• Regular updates through formal meetings (parents’ evenings and EHCP Annual Review) 
• A rapid and appropriate response to resolve problems or difficulties 
• Homework that is appropriate to the age and learning ability of the individual 

What the school and college expects from parents and carers:

• To actively support the aims and values of Springhallow 
• To ensure that children attend on time, wearing school uniform or smart, practical clothing 
• To keep relevant staff informed of any matters that may affect their child 
• To respond to home/school communication in a timely manner 
• To keep children at home if they are unwell and provide regular updates about pupil absences via the Parent App or telephone – if you have to give your child medicine/paracetamol in the morning, they are unlikely to make it through the day. 
• To provide up to date contact details for at least two individuals and inform the office of any changes including emergency contacts 
• To encourage and support reading/homework activities 
• To take part in parent/teacher meetings 
• To respect staff members privacy and professionalism – do not raise issues/discuss individual members of staff on social media/group messaging apps  

What parents and carers and the school expect of the pupils:

• To always try their best at Springhallow 
• To treat everybody with respect 
• To follow the agreed class rules 

We are proud of our relationships with parents and carers and are happy to help at any time as we understand the difficulties that they may be experiencing.

We are all committed to adhering to the above through our open door approach, but we can always do better and learn from when situations that may have been difficult.  

 If you have any concerns, please speak to the class teacher who will aim to address these with you
