Parents have a right to expect the school to:

• have due regard for their child's safety and welfare.
• keep them informed about his/her academic progress and any behaviour problems.
• respond to their concerns and enquiries.
• provide effective teaching in a disciplined environment.
• set regular and appropriate home learning.
• deal fairly and consistently with all students.
• praise and reward students for positive attitudes and behaviour.

Parents have a responsibility to:

• ensure that their child attends school.
• provide explanations for absence before 8.30am every day.
• ensure that the child possesses the required items of school uniform and equipment.
• check home learning information on Arbor regularly and satisfy themselves that tasks are being completed on time and to the best of the child's ability.
• check behaviour data on Arbor regularly to ensure they are aware of their child's behaviour profile, and support the school's disciplinary approach.
• ensure their child understand how to behave in a safe and sensible manner when travelling to and from school, including public transport.
• communicate respectfully with staff at all times.

Consent for use of students' images and videos will be collected through Arbor from September.

All our PE consents and information are run through the Squad in Touch app. Other consents are organised by the appropriate faculty when needed.

Agreement for students:

When I use the school’s ICT facilities (like computers and equipment) and go on the internet in school, I will not:

• Use them without asking a teacher first
• Use them to break school rules
• Attempt to access any inappropriate websites
• Go on any social networking sites (unless my teacher said I could as part of a lesson)
• Use chat rooms
• Open any attachments in emails, or click any links in emails, without checking with a teacher first
• Use unkind or rude language when talking to other people online or in emails
• Send any photos, videos or livestreams of people (including me) who aren’t wearing all of their clothes
• Share my password with others or log in using someone else’s name or password
• Bully other people
• Use artificial intelligence (AI) to create images or write for me, and then submit it as my own work
• Intentionally damage school hardware property and/or devices

I understand that the school will check the websites I visit and how I use the school’s computers and equipment. I understand that all internet usage on school owned devices (e.g. iPads) is filtered, monitored and reported, regardless of it taking place inside or outside of school premises. This is so that the school can help keep me safe and make sure I’m following the rules.

I will tell a teacher or a member of staff I know immediately if I find anything on a school computer or online that upsets me, or that I know is mean or wrong.

I will always be responsible when I use the school’s ICT systems and internet.

I will store my digital work on my school OneDrive account, unless directed to do otherwise be school staff.

I understand that the school can discipline me if I do certain unacceptable things online, even if I’m not in school when I do them.
