Education is the business of both the school and the home. A school's success is more assured with joint efforts of teachers, pupils, parents and the local communities alike.
Our ‘Home School Partnership’ policy has been developed as a means of supporting and engaging mums, dads and other carers in their children’s education and learning at Flixton Girls’ High School and contains information on the level of commitment that is expected of all parties.
