Message for Secondary Parents and Students

Dear Secondary parents and students,


Re: Punctuality, Second Term Secondary Examinations, Ramadan timing & IGCSE/AS/A/IAS/IAL External Exams from the UK

 

Introduction: Welcome back after the National day holiday. I hope you all had a great break and the children are eager to be at school and learn! We are still navigating through this unprecedented, detrimental impact on education by COVID and adapting to the continuous changing world.

 

Reminders on punctuality in the morning:

Everyday our doors open at 7:00 am so that our secondary school day can start promptly with registration at 7:15 am. Secondary day finishes at 2:25 pm for KS3 and 3:30 pm for KS4 & KS5.  We would like to remind you of the importance of attendance and punctuality and ask that you make every effort to bring your child to school every day and collect them on time. If you are late in the morning you will need to go to the front desk at the Reception where the admin staff will see you. Remember though that your child will be marked as late after 7:15 am by the social worker!
