Home-School Agreement
“Growing Deep Roots. Producing Good Fruit”
At Offenham CE First School, we recognise each child as an individual, and aim to give all children every opportunity to realise their full potential. We believe that a close partnership between the school, parents and the child is essential if we are to achieve this aim. We therefore ask all parents and children to sign up to our Home/School Agreement.
The Responsibilities Of The School
We will:
- Provide a secure, happy and stimulating learning environment where Christian faith forms the foundation.
- Provide a broad and balanced curriculum which challenges your child to reach their potential and fulfils the requirements of the National Curriculum.

- Keep you informed about your child’s progress and behaviour, as well as their termly curriculum.
- Set regular and appropriate homework for your child.
- Make you feel welcome whenever you visit the school and respond to your questions or concerns as quickly as possible.
- Behave towards all members of our school community with respect being mindful of our VIVs.
