Parent Partnership


At Kingsmead we welcome parents and carers from all our families to get involved in the life of the school. Parents and carers also bring to school their own skills and talents, enriching children's learning experience.

Respectful and effective partnership is fundamental to children receiving the good education to which they are entitled. In this there are three key partners:

Our home school agreement sets out the expectations for each party in an effective learning partnership. Parents and carers are expected to read and agree to this agreement with their child before starting school with us.
