7. Homework
We have reviewed our homework procedures through talking to parents, teachers and, most interestingly, the children.
We have decided to make homework more manageable and ensure that tasks set have a clear purpose, such as practising a skill, learning facts or investigating topics being covered in class.
These will vary depending on the focus in class at the time.
Homework tasks will be clearly communicated by the teachers, please ask if you are unsure or if you would like some guidance on how best to support your child.

14. Home School Agreement

15. September 2018: re-introduction of the Home-School Agreement
The Home-School Agreement is a “contract” between the school, the parent/carer and the child, acknowledging the role that each party has to play in ensuring good behaviour in school.

16. Acknowledged in the Behaviour Policy (revised July 2018)
"Good behaviour from our pupils requires a firm partnership of respect and understanding between the school, each pupil and their parent/guardians. Each party has their role to play in ensuring that the best possible behaviour is achieved by our pupils.
At the beginning of each school year, each pupil and their parent/guardian(s) will be asked to read and sign a Home-School Agreement … which recognises the duties of parents/guardians, pupils and Preshute Primary School respectively in achieving and maintaining this goal.
On returning the signed Home-School Agreement to the school, it will be signed by the Head Teacher”
