Parent Code of Conduct

Parent Code of Conduct

 

At St Mary’s Church of England Primary School, we are very fortunate to have a supportive and friendly parent body. As a partnership, our parents understand the importance of a good working relationship to equip children with the necessary skills for adulthood. For these reasons we continue to welcome and encourage parents/carers to participate fully in the life of our school. 

We believe that staff, visitors and children are entitled to a safe and protective environment. Behaviour that will cause harassment, alarm or distress to users of the premises is contrary to the aims of the school.
 

We expect parents, carers and visitors to:
 

  • Respect the caring ethos of our school
  • Understand that both teachers and parents need to work together for the benefit of their children
  • Demonstrate that all members of the school community should be treated with respect and therefore set a good example in their own speech and behaviour
  • Work with the school to reconcile a child’s perception of events with other points of view in order to bring about a peaceful solution to any issues
  • Approach the school in a timely manner to help resolve any issues of concern 

 
In order to support a peaceful and safe school environment the school cannot tolerate parents, carers and visitors exhibiting the following:
 

  • Approaching someone else’s child in order to discuss or chastise them because of the actions of this child towards their own child. (Such an approach to a child may be seen to be an assault on that child and may have legal consequences)
  • Shouting, either in person or over the telephone
  • Speaking in an aggressive/threatening tone
  • Physically intimidating, e.g. standing very close
  • The use of aggressive hand gestures/exaggerated movements
  • Physical threats
  • Shaking or holding a fist towards another person
  • Swearing
  • Pushing/Hitting/Spitting
  • Posting inappropriate comments on Social Networking sites
  • Racist, homophobic or sexist comments
  • Smoking or vaping  
  • Consumption of alcohol or banned substances

 
Should any of the above behaviour occur on school premises, the school may feel it is necessary to contact the appropriate authorities and if necessary, ban the offending adult from entering the school grounds. Thank you for your continuing support of the school.
