Parents/Pupils

Agreements

At Ethos we provide your child with a rich and varied curriculum that takes into account individual social and emotional needs, prior learning and future aspirations. We provide a safe, caring environment that will promote health, individuality and dignity and we communicate regularly with parents / carers and mainstream schools.

To help us do this, we require that learners, parents / carers and mainstream schools work in partnership with us to support the following agreements:
