This could say something about the standard of teaching parents can expect; that children have the right to a broad and balanced curriculum; and how the needs of all children of all abilities will be met.

For example, the school will: |
offer a carefully planned curriculum matched to the needs of your child
ensure that the work set will be well prepared and appropriate to each child |

This is an effective way of making the commitment to provide a good standard of education directly relevant and real.
