Home School Agreement

Working Together for Success

At YBA, we believe that the most successful students are supported by a strong partnership between home and school. Parents and carers play a vital role in a child's education, and by working together we can ensure that every student is supported academically, socially and emotionally.

Our Home-School Agreement sets out the shared commitment between students, parents and the school. It provides a clear framework of expectations, responsibilities and values that help create a positive learning environment where students can thrive. Through open communication, mutual respect and a shared focus on achievement, we work together to ensure that every young person reaches their full potential and develops the skills, character and confidence needed for future success.

Responsibilities of the Student

I will:

  • attend school regularly, including engagement with on-line learning

  • keep everyone safe by ensuring that I follow the requirements at YBA regarding social distancing, in light of the worldwide COVID-19 situation

  • be on time to school and all lessons

  • be friendly, co-operative, thoughtful and always try my best

  • reflect the school's REACH values

  • remember books and necessary equipment to support a positive learning culture

  • take pride in my work and the school environment

  • be involved fully in activities

  • always complete and hand homework in on time

  • always wear correct school uniform

  • respond positively to feedback

Responsibilities of Parents / Carers

We acknowledge that we, as parents/carers are the primary educators of our children and have an irreplaceable role to play in supporting our children's learning at school.

I/we will:

  • work with the school in supporting the education of my child both at YBA and at home.

  • support my child to achieve the school target of 96% attendance, arriving on time, suitably equipped and dressed in full school uniform

  • support the vision and values of the school community

  • work in co-operation with staff to resolve issues and problems that may arise and let the school know of any issues that might affect my child's work, behaviour or attendance

  • encourage my child to be enthusiastic about learning, support on-line learning and home learning.

  • support the school's policies, including current Covid 19 measures and guidelines for behaviour and dress code, which are intended to promote the highest standards of behaviour and discipline

  • encourage my child to show kindness and consideration to others and to always behave appropri-ately when in school uniform, on their way to and from school

  • participate in whatever way possible in school events

  • treat staff and students with courtesy and respect
