We aim to ensure that they achieve the best exam results possible, have opportunities to develop their talents and aptitudes, and become confident young people who will step out to meet the challenges of the world today. Our home-school partnerships are very strong. For students to maximise their potential, it is vital that parents and carers and the school work productively together. We use regular monitoring, target setting and dialogue with students and parents and carers to ensure students make good progress. There are many opportunities, formal and informal, for dialogue, which we strongly welcome. The contract shall commence January 2020 and shall continue until December 2022. Adjustment of the budget on an annual basis shall be with mutual agreement. The contract may be extended at the Governing Body's option for a further two, twelve-month periods, with mutual agreement to the budget but otherwise on the same terms and conditions (excluding the right to further extend).
