Sports College Agreement

Communication

At Pensby Sports College we have always emphasised the importance of both School and Parents working together in Partnership. We believe that joint commitment to this Home School partnership is essential if each young person is to achieve their full potential.

It is essential, if we are to work together in partnership, that there are good communication procedures between home and school. As a school, we believe in keeping parents fully informed about their child's progress, welfare and behaviour. Throughout the year parents receive reports on progress and a full written report and are invited to attend a full Parents' Consultation Evening. It is seen as essential that all parents take advantage of these opportunities. Other communications will include regular newsletters and/or end of term letters, plus letters of commendations when a students' progress or behaviour has given us cause for celebration. Similarly parents will be informed at the earliest opportunity when a child is giving us cause for concern. Parents are encouraged to contact school with any concerns regarding their child's educational progress.

Attendance And Punctuality

Excellent punctuality and attendance is essential if we are to be successful in raising each student's standard of achievement. If a child is not in school he cannot learn. In addition, poor attendance not only affects that child's performance but that of other students in their teaching groups. We rely on Parents to support this.

Behaviour And Discipline

Good behaviour is essential if the school is to function as an orderly community and if students are to be able to take advantage of the high quality education provided. The school is committed to working with parents and students to maintain good behaviour and developing positive attitudes towards school life in general.
