As a pupil attending THS I understand that I have rights within the school, some of which are:

  • To be treated kindly

  • To be listened to

  • To be helped

  • To have a friend

  • To play and join in games

I will:

  • Be responsible for my school and homework

  • Ask for help if I need it and try my best in all that I do

  • Ensure that I take home all school letters

  • Follow the THS Birds Charter.

As parent/carer I will:

  • Contact the school by 8.45 or as early as possible if my child is sick.

  • Treat all adults and children at school with respect

  • Let the school know of any concerns or worries that may be affecting my child’s learning, behaviour or ability to do homework. If I have any concerns, I will come and discuss them with school, as it is much healthier to work out solutions and move on.

  • Support the school by encouraging my child to develop a positive attitude towards our diverse, multicultural community.

  • Attend meetings with my child’s teacher and other staff, aiming to be positive and productive, working towards moving my child on in their learning.

  • Regularly meet with you to communicate the progress of your child, celebrating their strengths and explaining how we can support them together in their areas for development.

  • Provide information to you about our school, including relevant policies, meetings, workshops, activities, newsletters and open days.Be very happy to welcome you if you would like to contribute to our school’s broader curriculum.

As parent/carer I will:
