Academic Schedule
Examinations and Tests
There will be informal in-house assessments till Grade II. From Grade III onwards, examinations will be held as follows:
Note: Absence during a test/examination without valid reasons will entail a zero mark and there will be no retests. In case of missing an exam for the final examination, past performance may be the criteria for promotion to the next class (if the student can't take the examination shortly). If a student fails to appear in the final examination, the school will ask the student to appear in the three major subjects to fulfill the promotion criteria. Passing Mathematics, English and Urdu is compulsory for promotion to the next class. Asking the school to be allowed to take examinations earlier because of personal reasons creates a non-academic environment. Hence, such requests will not be entertained.
To ensure a high standard of discipline in the school, the students must arrive on time. If a student arrives after morning assembly has commenced on any given day, he/she will not be allowed to enter the school Premises and will be sent back home from the gate. Please make sure your drivers are aware of this rule.
Any absence from school without a written application for leave shall vault a five to each day the student is absent. It is further clarified that it is within the prerogative of the school to start or day leave; a more submissive application should be taken as approval of leave. These measures have been put in place for the benefit of the school and students so that the school runs effectively and efficiently with the least amount of disruption to the system. Parents are encouraged to make sure they take tardiness as a serious matter and help us by doing what they can to eradicate this problem.
These are always welcome and very encouraging to teachers and staff. The school encourages feedback or opinions from pupils and parents. In practice, this dialogue is continuous, sometimes directly and also indirectly, for example, through the Parents’ Association. It may not always be possible to act immediately but pupils and the school always benefit so please do not hold back.
Naturally, parents may, occasionally, be concerned about an aspect of their child’s education or welfare at school. This could include issues concerning the TCS’s approach to aspects of the curriculum, homework, behavioural problems, or any other issue. The TCS welcomes inquiries from parents about any matter. Teachers and staff will explain the school practices, and policies, & how they affect the pupils.
The procedure is again to speak to the child’s class teacher in the first instance or contact the school office to arrange an appointment to discuss your complaint with whoever you wish. The school’s policy is to follow the Authority and Department for Education guidelines when handling concerns and complaints. Just ask if you would like advice or a copy.
The Camblim School is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all its students. To ensure the welfare of all, The Camblim School believes that every member of the organisation has a role to play, which is encompassed in our Child Protection Policy. Its purpose is to protect both children and staff by clearly defining what action is required to keep children safe, and ensuring a consistency of behaviour so that all staff members follow the same process.
Child Protection Committees are based at each level of the system, from schools to the School Group to the Regional Office and the Head Office, so that we can follow up on any queries or concerns students, teachers, and parents may have with child safety in our schools.
