Punctuality is very important throughout the school day, but most of all first thing in the morning. We would like to remind you that lessons will begin at the set time mentioned above, therefore pupils must be in the classroom at 7.55a.m. Once lessons have begun, they will not be interrupted, so students will not be allowed to enter the classroom until the following lesson. If a student should arrive late, he/she must wait at the library until the following lesson.
Those students who arrive late must register their name, grade and arrival time, the accumulation of various late arrival registrations may be considered as serious misconduct.
Both delays and absences must be justified in the School agenda.
The school has 24 hours security service so we ask you to follow the instructions of the authorized personnel at the time of arrival and departure of the pupils. It is very important that parents had an identification sign of SEK FAMILY on their cars if they wanted to enter the school facilities.
Arrival and Departure of the students during school hours
To ensure the smooth operation of the school unnecessary interruptions should be avoided during the school day, except for justified serious circumstances.
In the event of early departures or late arrivals, these should be adjusted according to breaks or lunchtime and never during lesson time.
Under no circumstances will a student be allowed to leave the School premises without a parent/guardian submitting a written authorisation.
If we are all able to cooperate a little, the benefit will be greater for all and not only will we improve our school environment but also our society in general.
Attendance
Regular attendance by the student is the basis of efficient learning.
If for any unforeseen circumstances a student cannot attend school, he/she must submit a justification in writing or in his/her agenda, on the day he/she returns, to either the form teacher or the Head of Studies. The justification must be signed and dated by the parents.
Should absences be caused by illness, a medical certificate must be attached.
The student must not exceed the number of 10% of absences otherwise he/she will not be assessed.
Communication with your children
We inform you that students can only receive messages before 14.30, after that only urgent or previously authorised by the Head of Studies messages will be delivered.
