The Orchard school believes that it is important to work in partnership with parents, families and other groups that support children’s learning. In doing so we have created a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for pupils, staff, and parents.

To help us do this we set clear expectations and guidance on behaviour for all members of our community. This includes the staff (through the Staff code of conduct) and children (through the behaviour policy).

The code of conduct aims to help the schoolwork together with parents setting guidelines on appropriate behaviour.

We use the term parent to refer to anyone with parental responsibility for a child or anyone caring for a child e.g., grandparents, foster carers.
