Queen's Park Academy

QPA Home Academy Agreement

When your child joins our academy we ask that you, ourselves and your child sign up to a shared agreement of how we will work together and what our responsibilities to each other are.  

 Please see the following Parental Handbook for a copy of the Home School Agreement or see below
QPA Parent Handbook

 

QPA Home School Agreement: 

The children, parents, carers, staff and LAB members encourage everyone to play their part in working together to make Queen’s Park Academy an outstanding school where the highest standards of work and behaviour are achieved. 

 

As a school we will:    

  • Expect high standards of work and behaviour from all children at all times and support them in achieving this. 
  • Plan interesting, challenging and appropriate work to address children’s educational needs. 
  • Set homework according to our homework policy. 
  • Respect everyone, be fair and firm to ensure everyone can learn. 
  • Report attainment and progress at least half-yearly. 
  • Report annually in writing on each child’s progress, hold regular parents’/carers’ liaison events and be available to discuss issues informally. 
  • Be welcoming to parents and carers, encouraging them and their children to be fully involved in all aspects of school life. 
  • Implement school policies consistently. 

 

As a parent you will: 

  • Be interested in my child’s education, seeing work regularly and talking with the staff. 
  • Ensure my child is punctual and takes as little time as possible off school.  When absent I will inform the school office by 9.00 am or as soon as possible afterwards. 
  • Ensure my child does not have any unauthorised absences, including holidays. 
  • Read the letters that come from the school, use Parent Pay and use the school website. 
  • Support the staff when they are implementing school policies, especially concerning uniform and behaviour. 
  • Make sure that homework is completed weekly, to a good standard and is submitted on time. 
  • Sign my child’s homework diary weekly (Years 5 and 6)/reading record (Years 3 and 4). 
  • Support school activities whenever I can. 
  • Tell the teacher of any issues, in and out of school, that may affect my child’s work or behaviour. 

 

As a pupil we expect: 

  • Be organised with correct equipment and keep my drawer and classroom tidy. 
  • Be on time for lessons and submit homework on time. 
  • Keep my homework diary up-to-date (Years 5 and 6)/reading record (Years 3 and 4). 
  • Wear correct uniform and shoes. 
  • Have high expectations of myself. 
  • Support school activities and talk with my parents about what I am doing. 
  • Always conduct myself in a way that supports the school’s belief that: 

“High Expectations lead to High Achievers”.
