We place great value on the importance of parental partnerships which are vitally important in preparing our pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. Communication is very important, and you will receive regular updates about your child's progress through timely reports, online data, and parents' evenings. Fulwood Academy is a very caring community where pupils are valued for who they are not just what they can do.  

A Home-School Agreement has been drawn up in order to cement the commitment of the school, you and your child.  

Aligned with the Pupil Code of Conduct it is intended to ensure that all pupils:  

• can work to the best of their ability and achieve their full potential;  
• are safe, happy and well;
