Home/School Agreement

At Parklands Community Primary and Nursery School, we see the potential in every child and are proud of all of our children. Education changes lives and we have high expectations for all our pupils. Our team work hard to deliver opportunities for children to exceed their own expectations and believe in themselves in a way that they might never have thought possible. We work in partnership with children, their families and our community. Our home school agreement outlines our commitment to work as a team to enable children to be the best they can be.

As a school we will:

  • Offer opportunities for parent/carers to become involved in children’s learning
  • Treat children and parent/carers with respect and take time to listen
  • Support families to the best of our ability

British Values & Equality

Thread throughout our curriculum, teaching and philosophy for education are all aspects of British Values and the Equality Act 2010. Through this golden thread we equip children with the knowledge and skills needed to flourish in a complex world

British Values: democracy; the rule of law; individual liberty; mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs, and for those without faith.

Nut Allergies 

Because we have children with severe nut allergies who attend our school, we are a ‘nut aware’ school. This means that you must not send in any nuts or products containing nuts.
