Home School Agreement

Wharncliffe Side Primary School works hard to provide a warm, caring learning environment.  It is a school where children feel safe, respected, valued and supported to reach their personal goals. An important aspect of supporting our children to be successful is establishing a strong home – school link. 

In order to achieve this, we ask parents / carers, pupils and staff to read and agree to the following pledges. A handy booklet version of this agreement is available to download below.
