Parents' role: welfare & discipline

The greatest importance is attached to the welfare and happiness of all children, including those with special educational needs or for whom English is an additional language, and parents are encouraged to speak to the school at soon as possible should any problems arise.

Teachers place great emphasis on ensuring that communication between home and school is effective and they are always happy to make an appointment to meet parents outside the normal parents' evenings. The school also publishes regular weekly and termly newsletters to keep parents fully informed.

Good manners and courteous behaviour are encouraged at all times. Children are expected to respect each other and to understand why certain rules must be kept. Breaches of school rules are met by reminders, by a member of the teaching staff, of the purpose of the rules and careful explanations of desirable behaviour in school.

Repeated transgressions may result in the deprivation of a privilege or reference to the headmistress for a formal reprimand. Parents are kept informed if their child is misbehaving and are expected to support the school.

Only in very unusual circumstances would the school consider excluding a child because of indiscipline.

Those wearing uniform - Reception upwards - are expected to take a pride in their clothing and appearance.

Recognition

Golden Leaves - given in recognition of achievement

Prospect House recognises achievement of all kinds. Every week a special recognition assembly is held where one child from each class is selected. The recognition award may be given for a wide variety of reasons from an excellent piece of academic work or, for the younger children, learning to tie their shoelaces!
