Home School Agreement
At Little Heath School, we firmly believe that the success of our students depends on an effective partnership of LHS staff, students and parents. All three parties share responsibility for the development and achievement of each pupil and each year you will be asked to read and sign the agreement.
The agreement is detailed below, however to view and sign the agreement electronically, please click here.
Please talk through the Home School Agreement with your child(ren), so that they understand the importance of the document, and what it says about that crucial relationship between school and home.
If you have any issues with signing the form or accessing the documents, please contact your child’s tutor in the first instance.
