Home School Child Expectations

Kings Oak Primary Learning Centre believes that the successful education of children is brought about by parents, staff and children working in partnership.

School will:

• Provide a caring ethos with high expectations for work and behaviour
• Keep safe and supervise your child whilst on school premises and on school excursions
• Provide a broad and balanced curriculum
• Signpost families to additional multi-agency support
• Provide the opportunity for your child to achieve success through academic, creative, social or personal activities and develop at an individual rate of learning
• Model respect by being respectful to your child
• Deal promptly and effectively with incidents involving your child
• Mark and assess your child’s work regularly
• Report on the progress of your child
• Provide a stimulating and exciting learning environment to meet the needs of your child
• Welcome parents into the life of the school and keep you informed about general school matters through meetings and newsletters.
• Listen to and support your children socially and emotionally

Our Parent Support Advisor will:

• Be one of your first points of contact for any problems or concerns
• Support you in a confidential and non-judgemental manner
• Support you with your child’s attendance, behaviour or attainment
• Signpost you to appropriate agencies for you to gain maximum support
• Work closely with outside agencies, schools and parents to support your family's needs
• Visit you in your home if you would prefer
