HOME / SCHOOL
AGREEMENT

At Balfour Juniors, we believe children learn best within the context of a home-school relationship built on trust and open and honest dialogue.

​

Key messages in terms of the expectations of this relationship are captured in our Home School Agreement which we ask all parents to sign at the outset of their relationship with our school.

• Keep you regularly updated on school events and the curriculum designed for each year group. 

• Encourage a culture of mutual respect and care for those around us and our surroundings.

• Support all school policies 

• Ensure regular and punctual attendance, providing a note of explanation when absences occur. 

• Come to Parents’ consultation meetings and other events designed to assist you with supporting your child’s education. 

• Take an interest in and be an active part of your child’s life at school. 

• Ensure your child completes homework tasks.
