Leave Applications

Parents, please consider carefully the effect on learning and the consequences of asking for leave during school time. The process of applying for leave is for parents/guardians to write to the Headteacher well in advance, notifying dates and the reason for absence. Each application is considered fully by the learner's teachers and Class Masters, before being granted or otherwise by the Headteacher.

Punctuality

All learners must be at school by 07:20hrs. Latecomers must report to the Teacher-on-Duty (TOD) before going to class. The learners will only be admitted to class by the class teacher upon presentation of a "Late Pass" from the TOD.

Attendance

If you know your child is going to be absent for any reason please call the Administration Office and leave a message with the student's name, grade and class, contact number and reason for the absence. After an absence from school, a child must bring, on the day of return, a note signed by his/her parents/guardian, stating the reason for the absence and take it to the Administration Officer. In the event of the absence exceeding 2 days, the school should be informed whilst the learners is absent from school.
