Punctuality and Attendance

Students may be absent from school for illness and emergency reasons only. Parents or Guardians must explain absenteeism, in writing in emergency cases on the day of the students return; otherwise they need a pre-approval from the Head of the school for the planned absences.  Parents must enquire from their teachers what work has been missed while being absent, and are then responsible for catching up that work. School attendance is compulsory.

  • Students will attend school from the first until the last school day of each term.
  • In case of illness, an official doctor’s certificate will be required for approval of the absence. 
  • On the first day of the child’s return after a period of absence from school, a signed letter stating the reason for having being absent is required from the parent or guardian.
  • Students who are absent with administrative approval are given additional time to complete missed work and prepare for any exams or assessments. 
  • Students who are absent without administrative approval are expected to submit all work upon returning to school. 
  • More than 6 days of absence in a term will lead to a meeting with the parents to sign a pledge of ensuring that student will not be absent from the school. 
  • Students who are absent for more than 20 days (both with or without administrative approval) in the school year will not be automatically be promoted to the next year group. These students will have to sit for a diagnostic exam to demonstrate their ability to progress to the next year group. Students who do not pass this exam will not be offered a place in the next year group and will repeat the previous year
  • It is expected that as much as possible all appointments such as doctor, dental or other will be booked after school hours or during school holidays. 
  • The Main Primary School gate (gate number 3) opens at 6:15 a.m. and kg students may be dropped off there for duty. KG morning duty starts at 6:30 a.m. Students may not be left unattended for any reason. The school does not accept responsibility for students until the morning duty session begins. 
  • The official school day starts at 7:30 a.m. and all students must be in school before that time or they are considered late. Students arriving after 7:45 will receive a warning letter.

  • After sending 4 warning letters, the parents are called in and they will have to sign a pledge ensuring that the student will reach the school on time.

  • All school gates close at 8:00 a.m. and student arriving after this time will not be admitted to school unless the parent or guardian contacts the school directly on the mobile message number provided (33032659)

  • School ends at 12:30 for KG students. Please allow children time to gather their belongings and arrive in the duty areas before collecting them. Parents are not allowed to go directly to the classrooms and should wait in the designated areas. 

  • Early leave for an emergency or doctor’s appointment must be arranged with the school’s administration via mail, message or phone call before 11:30.

  • Early leave permissions from 12:00 to 12:30 will not be granted.

  • Students must be picked up from school before 1:30 p.m. After school supervision is provided until 2 p.m. There is no supervision for students who remain in school after 2:00 p.m. and the school does not accept responsibility for students left at school later than that time. In cases of emergency send a message to the school emergency message number (33032659) so that supervision can be arranged for her.
