Home School Agreement
The Bishop Konstant Catholic Academy Trust and its schools believe that working in partnership with families is crucial to both the happiness and positive outcomes of our children. We use this Home School Agreement to ensure all involved are clear about their responsibilities and expectations and hope that by working together we can support the aims and values of the school which are clearly stated in our Mission Statement and can be found on the school website.
We invite all families to read and agree to the statements below:
