At Stoke Mandeville Combined School, our Parent/Carer Pledge sets out clear expectations for all stakeholders and supports our aims of high expectations and positive outcomes for all pupils. The school asks parents and carers to renew this pledge annually.

I/we pledge to:

• Work with the school to achieve its aims and reinforce its ethos.

• Ensure my/our child attends school regularly, arrives on time, is properly equipped and wears the correct school uniform.

• Notify the school on each day of my/our child's absence and inform the school of any circumstances which may affect my/our child's progress.

• Support school policies, especially the Behaviour Policy and Parent Code of Conduct.

• Support my/our child with homework and other learning opportunities, including reading.

• Attend regular parent consultation events to discuss my/our child's academic and social progress.

• Be supportive of our school in the local community and communicate respectfully with pupils, staff and other members of the school community.

• Support the school's approach to online safety and not deliberately send messages, upload or add images, video, sounds or text that could upset or offend any member of the school community.

• Refrain from uploading images of pupils, other than my/our own child, and members of staff to social media or other public platforms.

• Not arrange or take my/our child out of school for holidays during term time.

• Not use a mobile phone on the school premises, including while dropping off or collecting my/our child, except where its use has been specifically authorised by the school.
