Attendance Policy and Student Performance
Attendance
- All students are expected to arrive to school 15 minutes prior to start of classes.
- All students are expected to achieve a minimum 95% attendance target per term. Students who do not meet the minimum criteria will receive a warning letter from the school. A meeting with the school principal will also be arranged to discuss ways on improving attendance of affected student(s).
- There are two types of school absence ; authorized leave of absence approved by the principal (leave form duly filled and submitted at least one day beforehand) and unauthorized leave of absence (approval for leave not approved by the principal)

student performance
We pride ourselves on assisting students achieve the best possible results if they adhere to our approach to ensuring success for all our students. This include
- Conducting regular tutorial tests after completion of topics or chapters in the textbook.
- Conducting regular term tests to monitor closely progress of students. Students who do not meet the minimum requirements are provided with remedial classes to help them catch up with their peers
- The school reserves the right to warn students and subsequently expel students who fall short of the expectations set by the school because of the following;
- Students do not meet the 80% attendance criteria and miss many lessons within the term without a valid reason.
- Students are lazy and do not make a conscientious effort to hand in homework assignments on time.
- Students do not fulfil their duty to work on developing self -study habits and commit time every evening on studying, note taking and going over the materials learned during the day.
- Students are continually disruptive in class and make no effort to engage with the teacher in a calm and civilized manner.
- Students must show, treat teachers with respect and classmates/peers with kindness.
