What is a Home-School Agreement?

A home-school agreement sets out the reponsibilities of the school, parents and children as they work together in partnership for the benefit of all who are associated with the school community.

This home-school agreement has been developed by parents, staff and members of the School Council at Gatcombe Park Primary School as part of our commitment to work together.

Home-School Agreement

  • to provide an environment which is as secure and stable as possible
