​​

At Stoughton Infant and Nursery School and Northmead Junior School, we are privileged to have supportive and engaged parents and carers. We recognise that educating children is a collaborative process between home and school, and we value the importance of a strong partnership to equip children with the necessary skills for their educational journey. This Code of Conduct outlines the expectations for parents and carers to ensure a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all members of our school communities.

​

Our Expectations

We encourage parents and carers to:

• Support the safeguarding of all children, reporting any concerns to the school's Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs). dsl@stoughton.surrey.sch.uk & dsl@northmead.surrey.sch.uk

• Collaborate with school staff to support their child's learning and development.

• Approach the school to resolve any issues or concerns, utilising the established concern pathways to discuss and clarify specific events in a constructive manner.

• Model respectful and positive behaviour, setting a good example in conduct towards all members of the school community.

• Respect the school environment, including the proper care of any school equipment and not littering.

• Park courteously in the local area, not blocking residents’ driveways and not using the school car park unless holding a valid disabled blue badge.

​

To maintain a peaceful and safe school environment, the following behaviours are not tolerated:

• Disruptive behaviour that interferes or threatens to interfere with the operation of the school, including:
   

  • Using offensive language

  • Displaying anger or aggression

  • Physical aggression or threatening harm

  • Damaging property

  • Sending offensive emails

  • Making negative or offensive comments on class or year group WhatsApp groups or similar online platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat
     

• Approaching someone else's child to discuss or reprimand them for their actions.

• Smoking or consuming alcohol or other drugs on school premises.

• Bringing dogs or other animals onto school premises (except for assistance dogs).
   

Should any of these behaviours occur on school premises or online forums associated with the school community, the school may contact the appropriate authorities and, if necessary, ban the adult from the school site.
