It is a policy of The English Playgroup and Primary school that school uniform shall be worn by all students when they are at school or engaged in school activities outside of school. Uniform is not required if they are participating in creative arts or similar activities for which school uniform is unsuitable.
School uniform is regarded as essential as it promotes as a sense of pride and ownership with the school. The wearing of the correct school uniform is closely monitored by staff at all times. All items of school uniforms can be purchased from the school reception.
The English Playgroup & Primary School operates a fleet of buses which service the majority of areas in and around the Kuwait City. Students are collected from their homes in the morning and returned after school. The children in all buses are supervised by an adult in addition to the driver. High standards of behaviour are expected of all students whilst traveling in school buses. The cost of one year transportation is KD 160 for near areas and KD 200 for distant areas. This fee is payable in two installments (Sept & Jan.) to the school office. To arrange transport, parents should contact the school administration.
The school has a clinic with a registered nurse in attendance at all times during the day. If the student is absent trough illness parents should inform the school. When a students returns to school a note should be brought explaining the absence. For an absence for more than 3 days a doctor’s note must be sent to school. It is of the utmost importance that the school has up to date emergency contact telephone numbers for tall parents. Should any of this change, parents should inform the school immediately. This will enable the school to act more quickly in the unfortunate event of an accident at school.
On your first day it is quite normal for both parent and child to feel nervous. Please do not worry about this; we are only interested in making you both feel welcome and at ease. During the first two weeks we feel it is advisable that one of the parents deliver and collect the child at regular times. It is always important to say goodbye to your child and be prompt when collecting them at the end of the session. It is also important not to absent your child during this crucial time. We recommend you stay only if your child is in distress as it is important for your child to start to develop his/her independence and to establish a routine. Many years of child care has shown that some children, more than others, may find it difficult to settle.
At The English Playgroup and Primary School we believe that good behaviour is achieved through example and encouragement. It is based on the concept of mutual respect which has to be earned. Good behaviour is essential for good teaching and learning which ultimately helps students to fulfill their potential. To achieve good behaviour, parents and the school must work together. Good behaviour will only be achieved if the approach used at school is supported and re-inforced at home. Despite the best efforts of staff and parents, some students will make mistakes and the school will work with parents in partnership for the child to accept the consequences of their behaviour.
All pupils are provided with a wholesome and healthy meal that varies on a daily basis. The school promotes good nutrition and thus encourage children to bring healthy food such as fruits, vegetables, biscuits, milk, juice, etc. as snacks. Chocolates, sugary snacks, chips, and sodas are strongly discouraged.
If a student wishes to celebrate his/her birthday at the school, parents should inform the school a week before the celebration.
Children go on 7 educational excursions each year. These are planned to closely follow the theme based topic work the children study.
We use a house system to encourage positive behaviour, good work habits and to reward children for their efforts. We also hold an annual House Sports Day. Houses are named after islands around Kuwait and each house has a particular colour for Maradim the colour is green, Failakah is red, Kubbar is blue & Garoo is yellow.
Extra Support Lessons are offered weekly to primary children who are in need of some extra help in English, Math’s, and Arabic. Both of these programmes are held after school hours and free of charge to students of the school.
