Parent Code of Conduct

Why We Have a Parent Code of Conduct

We believe that educating children is a shared journey—a partnership between parents, staff, and the entire school community. At Mawnan, our parents play a crucial role in this partnership, recognising that a positive and respectful relationship is essential to equip our children with the skills they need for adulthood.

The Parent Code of Conduct exists to remind all parents, carers, and visitors of the expected standards of behaviour within our school community. This ensures that we maintain a safe, respectful, and harmonious environment where every child can flourish, progress, and achieve.

Our Expectations of Parents and Carers

To reflect our school’s vision and values, we ask that all parents and carers:

  • Engage positively with staff and other parents, promoting mutual respect and understanding.
  • Support the school’s ethos by encouraging children to use their God-given gifts with pride.
  • Communicate constructively by addressing any concerns through the appropriate channels and in a respectful manner.
  • Respect school policies and procedures, recognising their role in safeguarding and supporting all children.
  • Participate actively in school life, events, and activities to strengthen the partnership between home and school.
  • Model excellent behaviour to children, demonstrating kindness, patience, and cooperation.

Why This Matters

A strong partnership between parents and school staff helps create the best possible environment for children to thrive. When parents and carers uphold the code of conduct, it:

  • Builds a nurturing atmosphere where children feel safe and valued.
  • Encourages children to develop confidence and pride in themselves and their school.
  • Supports staff in delivering an outstanding education aligned with our commitment to excellence.
  • Reflects our Christian values and the light of Jesus, guiding us to shine together as a community.
