School Schedule

Attendance

Expected attendance in the Primary School is five days a week (Sunday to Thursday) from morning registration at 7:40am, to school dispersal at the appropriate time, depending on year group. Exceptions are made for the Foundation Stage/ Kindergarten settling in period. Teachers will discuss this with the parents when the child starts. As per the UAE Ministry of Education regulations, Grade 2 and above students who miss 25 days or more in any school year may be at risk of not being promoted to the next year group unless they have been legitimately excused from school as a result of special circumstances. These special circumstances must be clearly communicated and agreed upon with the Principal prior to the absence. Examples include extra-curricular participation, field trips or extended illness. Excused and unexcused absences are recorded in each student’s individual records and reports. If child is ill, please notify the school in the morning of each day of absence, either by emailing or telephoning the main reception.
