At Cranberry, we recognise each child as an individual, and aim to give all children every opportunity to realise their full potential. We believe that a firm partnership between the school, parents and the child is essential if we are to achieve this aim. We therefore ask all parents and children to enter into our Home/School Agreement.

• Maintain a high standard of education, keeping in line with national government requirements, within a broad and balanced curriculum which meets the needs of your individual child
• Care for each child’s safety, happiness and well-being and foster feelings of confidence, self worth and belonging
• Encourage children to do their best at all times
• Endeavour to meet the requirements of children whatever their needs to achieve their full potential.
• Ensure that each classroom is a positive and stimulating learning environment.
• Set homework to extend the curriculum work in school
• Teach children to develop a positive attitude towards everyone regardless of difference in gender, race, culture, belief, values, age, and need. Be actively open, welcoming and responsive at all times to parent/carers and provide opportunities for parent/carers to become involved in school life.
• Communicate effectively and sensitively with parent/carers and ensure that staff are available to discuss any concerns you may have about your child’s progress or welfare
• Provide regular meetings to discuss the progress of children, indicating strengths and areas for development through individual targets
• Provide prompt information about behaviour or class work that may be a cause for concern or celebration
• Provide clear information about homework tasks
• Provide information to parents about school activities through regular newsletters, open days and meetings.
• Keep you informed about the school’s policies and guidelines on behaviour and equal opportunities and other general school matters
• Provide a range of after school activities designed to enrich your child’s educational experience
