To that extent, we have set out a home-school agreement which: - acts as a reminder of commitments; - underpins the school’s ethos and stated beliefs; - acts as a clear starting point for new pupils, their parents and school staff; - provides a starting point for exploring difficulties*.* At Samlesbury, the home-school agreement is completed when a child starts in our reception class or as soon as they confirm their place, should they start after the reception class. **The School** We will aim to: - be open and welcoming; - listen and respond quickly to any concerns you or your child may have; - promote and maintain a culture of respect across the school community, expecting all members of the school community to contribute to a safe, calm and positive environment for pupils; - provide a safe, caring environment for your child to learn in, rooted in our Christian Values and beliefs; - maintain a balanced curriculum which meets the individual needs of your child; - set, mark and monitor homework as appropriate for the child’s age and provide reading books which are monitored and reviewed. - share the progress your child is making at Samlesbury CE Primary School regularly throughout the year; - arrange opportunities for formal consultations (parents evenings), informal progress meetings if required and times to discuss concerns or issues parents and children may have; - promote high standards of work and behaviour, and provide clear guidelines for pupils and parents; - ensure your child is given every opportunity to achieve their full potential as a valued member of the school community; - keep parents informed about school activities and events through regular newsletters, termly curriculum overviews, email messaging, the school webpage, ClassDojo and social media web pages; - provide an incentive for parents to register, if eligible for Free School meals, to trigger additional funding that supports all children in the school. **The Parent(s)/Guardian(s)** I/we will aim to: - ensure that my child comes to school on time, properly dressed and properly equipped; - inform the school about any concerns that may be affecting my child’s work/ behaviour/self-esteem/well-being; - support the Christian ethos of the school, including the vision to ‘Let your light shine’; - behave respectfully and appropriately while on the school site, recognising that all adults share a responsibility to model positive behaviour and maintain a safe and calm environment for all members of the school community; - support the school in its policies and procedures as fully as possible; - support my child with their homework and home learning opportunities and ensure my child completes their homework on time; - attend all parents’ evenings and discussions about my child’s progress and reschedule if unable to attend; - support my child in responding positively to the general expectations and regulations of the school; - support the school with any disciplinary sanctions; - maintain an active interest in all aspects of your child’s life at Samlesbury; - register my details promptly, if they meet the criteria, to trigger additional funding for the school. **The Pupil** (for reception children this is talked about at a level which is appropriate for them and is part of their development in school). I will aim to: - do my best to ‘Let my light shine’; - be positive and work hard; - always come to school, get here on time and have everything I need to work hard; - wear the correct uniform; - do all my work and ask for help if I need it; - be polite, kind and helpful to others; - take care of the school; - tell a member of staff if I am worried or upset; - follow the school rules. **Our Governing Body will carry out their legal responsibilities to the school and ensure that:** - school policies provide care and safety for every pupil; - school provides a caring, Christian-based environment; - the school strives to give the best education for every pupil; - funding received by the school will be used efficiently to support learning; - Governors will visit the school regularly and make it a priority to raise academic standards in the school; - Governors meet regularly to carry out their duties. ### Parents - [Admissions](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/parents/admissions) - [Attendance](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/parents/attendance) - [FOSS - Friends of Samlesbury School](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/parents/foss) - [Home School Agreement](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/about-us/children-s-comments) - [Newsletters](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/parents/newsletters) - [Uniform ](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/parents/uniform) - [Pupil Premium](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/parents/pupil-premium) - [Questions, Compliments or Complaints?](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/parents/questions-compliments-or-complaints) - [SEND](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/parents/send) - [Sports Premium](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/parents/sports-premium) ##### Location Potters Lane Samlesbury Preston Lancs PR50UE ##### Contact Us 01772 877200 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086396911494) - [Governor and Staff Portal](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/governor-and-staff-portal) - [Calendar](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/calendar) © Copyright 2018–2026 Samlesbury CE Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
