A Home–School Agreement reflects the shared commitment between school, parents and pupils to work together in support of every child's education, wellbeing and personal development. By setting out clear expectations and responsibilities, it helps to build strong partnerships based on mutual respect, open communication and a shared ambition for every child to thrive.

At North Cadbury C of E Primary School, we believe that children achieve their very best when home and school work closely together. Our Home–School Agreement supports our vision, 'To be the Best We Can Be,' by promoting positive attitudes to learning, excellent attendance, good behaviour, safeguarding and wellbeing. Through this partnership, we can ensure that every child feels safe, valued and inspired to flourish academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
