WELSH HOUSE FARM COMMUNITY SCHOOL AND RESOURCE BASE

At Welsh House Farm Community School and Resource Base it is important that parents, pupils and staff, respecting each other’s contributions, work together to achieve the highest possible levels of success for all pupils.

 

Why do we need a Home School Agreement?

• It acts as a reminder of commitments.

• It underpins the school’s ethos and stated beliefs.

• It acts as a clear starting point for new pupils, their parents and the school staff.

• It provides a starting point for exploring difficulties. 

 

The school will aim to:
