Purpose:
At Jesson’s C of E Primary School we pride ourselves on offering the traditional values of academic performance, smart appearance and courtesy in a disciplined and caring environment. We believe in order to achieve such a culture, parents, teachers and children must work together. The agreement helps to make such a partnership clear and will help to develop very good relationships between home and school.
