Class agreements

A foundational experience for our new cohorts of students is creating agreements for the class community they will engage with throughout the year. Classroom agreements come in different forms, shapes, and sizes, but all have a similar purpose: the children and teaching team work together to consider what commitments each can make to ensure the class is a safe, happy place where everyone can flourish. These agreements take time to consider and decide, with each member of the class being an equal stakeholder in sharing views and ideas before the teacher supports consolidating ideas and making decisions.

Class agreements are not static documents; they are continuously updated, added to, and redefined throughout the academic year as relationships develop and needs arise. This process, combined with the dedicated wellbeing time at the beginning of each day, ensures that every child feels confident to share, learn, and be themselves as part of our vibrant school community.
