High expectations – The St Albans Promise
At St Alban’s we work with parents to encourage children to develop as fully as possible. As well as making good academic progress we want to help our students to grow socially, personally, spiritually and morally. Students, parents and teachers each sign a home-school agreement, demonstrating our shared commitment to making the effort to ensure that each child succeeds. Copies of the home school agreement can be viewed on our website www.stalbansacademy.org or in the parents’ handbook.
Academy Declaration
- The academy will have high expectations of all its students and will provide a secure, supportive, Christian environment in which each student is encouraged to grow in their own faith.
- The academy will provide high quality teaching and a curriculum that is appropriate to the needs of all its students, including those with special needs.
- The academy will keep parents informed about the progress of their child and will let them know immediately if there are concerns about their learning or behaviour.
