Our Partnership

The following piece of writing perhaps exemplifies how Templeton Primary School perceives the relationship between home and school.

I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there
The clay they used was a young child's mind
And they fashioned it with care

One was a teacher, the tools s/he used
were books and music and art
One was a parent with a guiding hand
And a gentle loving heart

Day after day the teacher toiled
With a touch that was gentle and sure
While the parent laboured by his/her side
And polished and smoothed it o'er

And when at last their task was done
They were proud of what they had wrought
For the things they had moulded into their child
Could neither be sold or bought

And each agreed s/he would have failed
If s/he had worked alone
For behind the parent stood the school ..........
And behind the teacher the home ............
