Enrolled Students

---

The school year is divided into three terms of approximately twelve (12) weeks each.  The school week is from Monday to Friday inclusive.  Only boys between the ages of three and a half and ten will be admitted to the School.

The curriculum follows that which is set out by the Ministry of Education. However, the school does not only teach to help boys pass the Common Entrance Examination to Secondary Schools, but approaches education in a holistic manner, ensuring that our students thrive culturally, spiritually, and physically.

At SCBS, we understand that some children may need time to adjust to a new environment and at such:

• All new students will be subject to a probationary period from one term to one year

SCBS celebrates diversity and students of all faiths and religions are welcomed. However, all children assemble in the school hall for daily prayers which are Christian-based. 

At all times the dress code must be adhered to. All students must wear the correct School uniform which consists of:

• A khaki shirt and pants, long khaki socks and brown or black shoes. 

All hairstyles must be short and neatly done (no exceptions). No styles, markings or untidily kept hair shall be allowed.

The school hours are from 8:15 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. 

• Pupils should arrive on time for classes
• Gates will be closed at 8:15 a.m.to vehicular traffic
• Pupils should be collected no later than 3:00 p.m
• No member of the staff will be on premises after 4:30 p.m
• Late pick-ups can result in suspension or for the student to be suspended from the aftercare program
• The school does not hold itself responsible for any student who is not picked up by that time

SCBS recommends that the school yard be used strictly as a drop off and pick-up zone. 

• If your business at the school is expected to exceed ten minutes you are requested NOT to park in the yard
• There will be no parking in the school yard during regular school hours

• Please contact the school should your child be arriving late or will be absent
• Parents must accompany children to office if more than fifteen minutes late
• For extended absences, parents must bring in a letter explaining the absence

SCBS does not currently hold an advance term’s deposit when children are accepted; hence the following procedure should be followed should  you need to withdraw your child from school.  

• A withdrawal notice in writing one full term in advance

Failing such:

• a penalty fee of one term must be paid by you or; 
• Any prepaid school fees will not be refunded if withdrawn during the school term

It is not the policy of the School to re-admit students who were withdrawn before taking the Eleven-Plus examination. Matters such as these are referred to the Board for direction and not decided by the Principal. 

In exceptional cases, if such a situation arises, parents must also offer compelling reasons why such students would not encounter similar problems if the child were to be readmitted. 

A re-admission request letter must be sent to the School stating the following: 

• Why the student was withdrawn
• Whether adequate notice was given to the School before the action was taken
• What are the reasons for wanting to return the said student to the School

A decision would be made within fourteen days on the receipt of the said request by the Board.

The school will not tolerate any use of abusive language whether written or oral by students or parents. Disparaging remarks verbally or on social media will be deemed unacceptable and the student will be either suspended or expelled depending on the severity of the matter.
