When starting ICC either through the transition programme or through an in-year admission, students and parents are requested to sign a home school agreement which clarifies the high standards we expect from all our students.
By signing the admission form, both parent and student confirm that they agree to the terms set out in Home School Agreement.
We believe strongly that young people perform at their best when rules on behaviour and respect are applied consistently and everyone works together. The close involvement of parents, students and school staff in partnership is vital for this to be successfully achieved.
