General Info
Scholastic Year & School Hours
The school year starts in January and is divided into three terms: Term 1, Term 2 and Term 3. Admission may take place at the beginning of or during any of the school terms, depending on the family's arrival date and on the availability of places. The school hours are from 8:30 until 14:00 Monday to Friday inclusive. Pupils should preferably arrive by about 8:15 to give them time to organise their books before the bell rings.
There is adult supervision at the gate and inside the school as from 8:00 but not before that, so you are kindly requested not to leave your children unattended before that time.
In the afternoon, staff are on duty from 14:00 to 14:15 to ensure that your children are collected safely and you are kindly requested to arrive promptly or to telephone the school to advise us in case of an unavoidable delay.

Holidays
Since the school year already provides for 15 weeks' holiday per year, we must insist that children take leave only during the holidays and not during term time. Only under exceptional circumstances may a child take leave during school term.
