HOME LEARNING POLICY
Home Learning is an integral part of the learning process. Learning continues through the completion of home learning. Each student is expected to establish a home learning routine. The regular and consistent completion of home learning is an important part of each student’s academic programme. It fosters habits of self-discipline, organisation, preparation and independent work early in students’ lives as well as reinforcing, consolidating and revising work that has been covered in class.
In Key Stage 1, there will be an expectation for students to read and improve their English and other language skills whilst at home. In Key Stage 2, students in Years 3 to 6 are set reading, spelling, and grammar tasks in English and pieces of Mathematics work. Also, there will be thematic home learning activities set. There will also be an expectation for students to improve other language skills whilst at home. In Key Stage 3 each week there will be home learning in English, Mathematics, Science, the creative curriculum and Languages.
Each student is expected to keep a record of all home learning in their student diary, which is specifically for this purpose. Senior school home learning can be viewed on Google Classroom. All home learning should be completed and organized as guided by the subject teacher and should be dated. Subject teachers will communicate with parents if a student fails to present home learning assignments. Home learning and student planners are regularly checked by Class Teachers / Form Tutors during the Form Period. The following practice should be observed by all students in relation to their home learning and student planners:
Write separate entries for different subjects. Write Subject and Task. Write the date to be entered when home learning is due. When home learning is completed, place a tick to show this.
The Amount of Home Learning
| Early Years | School Reading Books |
| Years 2,3 | 20 minutes per day, plus reading |
| Year 4,5 & 6 | 30 minutes per day, plus reading |
| Year 7 | 1 hour per day, plus reading |
| Year 8 | 1.5 hours per day |
| Year 9 | 1.5 hours per day |
| Year 10 | 2 hours per day |
Supervised study is available after school through the Home learning Club, which is part of the CCA programme. If no home learning has been set, students are expected to use the time available for revision, working ahead, and/or preparation for the next test.
Student Organisation of Home Learning:
- Record carefully the instructions for their home learning
- Ask questions when necessary to clarify the assignment
- Before leaving school in the evening, students should check that they have all the books and any other material needed for that night’s home learning.
- Find a quiet place where possible, and establish a routine to complete home learning. Try to avoid all obvious distractions, TV, Radio, Phone calls, and Text messages.
- When possible, home learning should be completed early in the evening rather than late at night.
- Try to complete home learning on the night it is given, even though it may not be required for the next day.
- Design your own personal timetable for home learning. Allocate time for study and revision also.
- Take notes when studying, highlight key areas, headings, etc. These can be used later for revision.
- Use your textbook or notes given in class to help you answer written questions.
- Where the home learning involves solving problems, study the examples given in class first, before attempting the problems.
- When you have to learn off material such as vocabulary, grammar, definitions, diagrams, or formulae, test yourself regularly and keep testing until you know it.
- Carefully plan home learning time for the completion of long-term projects. Produce quality work on the day for which it is set
- When home learning is completed, the timetable and schoolbag should be checked to ensure that all books, copies, PE gear, Art materials, etc, are ready for the next day.

BEHAVIOUR POLICY
Kent College West Cairo is committed to creating an environment and climate in which all students have the right to work purposefully, feel secure, happy, and confident, and where relationships between staff and students, and between the students themselves, are based on mutual respect and tolerance. Kent College West Cairo is also committed to ensuring every student reaches their potential, and we will embed a culture of aspiration, where every student feels safe and happy to become the best young person they can be.
Whilst our approach will always aim to shape positive behaviours, we will have no reservations around the use of the most serious sanctions, including permanent exclusions, for the most serious breaches of our behaviour management policy.
Positive Behaviour Management
To achieve our aims and expectations and to develop a positive climate for learning, everyone at Kent College West Cairo should work together in a consistent and positive manner.
We are committed to enabling all students to work purposefully and achieve their potential. To do this, we need to teach in an atmosphere that celebrates success and uses sanctions when behaviour hinders the learning process.
A strong ethos of achievement and good behaviour is something that we should all strive to achieve, and in order to enable this, we should all work within a clear framework which is open for all to understand and follow.
Every stakeholder has a responsibility to uphold the procedures outlined in this policy.
Teachers and Governors will:
- Provide a safe and caring environment for all students.
- Contact parents promptly if there are concerns.
- Provide a personalised curriculum which will meet the needs of each individual.
- Ensure effective and regular information and guidance is given when it is required
- Keep both parents and students regularly informed about progress through reports, parent-teacher consultations (PTCs), and tutor communication.
- Praise and reward students at every opportunity.
- Employ strategies for behaviour management where applicable.
- Listen and take into account parental views and concerns on school life.
Parents and Carers will:
- Ensure that my child attends school and is on time every day.
- Ensure that my child comes to school equipped and in full uniform.
- Listen and take advice from the school, showing an interest in the development and progress of my child.
- Attend all meetings related to my child.
- Support the school’s policies/procedures, including those around behaviour, attendance, anti-bullying, and dress code.
- Inform and communicate with the school regularly about any concerns or changes in circumstances that may affect my child.
- Ensure the school has up-to-date records of contact information, in particular telephone numbers and email addresses.
- Inform the school of any absence of my child as soon as possible on each day of absence.
- Keep form tutors informed of any situations that might impact my child’s learning.
Students will:
- Attend school and lessons on time, every day.
- Bring all equipment, books and equipment required for each day.
- Wear a full and correct uniform every day.
- Be polite, considerate and respect all individual differences within the school and the wider community.

- Complete all work set in class and at home on time and to the best of my ability.
- Report any bullying or anti-social behaviour and act as a role model for younger students.
- Respect the school environment and wider community neighbourhood.
- Embrace the Kent College Values of: Respect, Humility, Ambition, Acting Justly, Openness, Kindness, Resilience, and Curiosity.
The school has a strong disciplinary system which allows learning to be at the centre of every classroom. We expect students to behave and act in a responsible and respectful manner both in our school and within the local community, including travelling to and from school on the school buses. Alongside our discipline system we have a very strong culture of rewards and achievement. We actively reward students with achievement points, certificates, letters/postcards home and verbal praise.
Rewards
Students who exhibit commitment, work hard and demonstrate progress will be rewarded and praised at every opportunity. The Kent College West Cairo rewards system includes:
- Verbal praise from teachers, support staff, tutors, and senior leaders.
- Shout-outs/ Star of the week
- Rewards trips
- Prizes
- Lunch Queue passes
- House points (see page 14)
The list is not exhaustive, and we will endeavour to find new and innovative ways to reward and award student success wherever we can.
Sanctions
When behaviour is unacceptable and students defy the school’s expectations, the school will apply the behaviour policy sanctions. The management of those behaviours is paramount to ensuring learning and progress are not affected. Whilst the following list is not exhaustive, it is illustrative of the strategies we will use:
- Verbal reprimand
- Break time detention
- Restorative practice with teaching and support staff
- Lunch time detention
- Tutor report
- Head of School report
- Parental meetings
- Removal from lessons
- Internal Exclusion
- Fixed-term suspension
- Permanent Exclusion
The following list of behaviours is deemed unacceptable and will result in the aforementioned sanctions being applied. Again, whilst not being an exhaustive list, it is illustrative of what is unacceptable. The school will exercise discretion over any behaviour perceived as affecting the safety, happiness, and progress of any individual in the school or wider community.
- Failure to wear the correct uniform

We will also confiscate any items that should not be in school, as laid out in this behaviour policy. Any item that is confiscated, including mobile phones, will be locked away securely and returned to either the student or parent, depending on the circumstance. In some cases, the confiscated item may be disposed of or handed to the police, depending on the nature of the item.

BIRTHDAYS
We look forward to celebrating your child’s special day with them. If you would like to send in cake for them to share with their classmates, please ensure they are individual cupcakes and contain no nuts or nut products, such as Nutella. 2 family members may attend the celebration when agreed in advance with your Class Teacher.
Please note that party bags or any other treats are not allowed to be distributed.
ATTENDANCE
Regular School attendance is essential for good academic work. Students should arrive on campus between 7:30 and 7:45. Students arriving after this time must report to Reception to be registered. Kent College West Cairo is a secure campus, and students may not leave the school premises without written permission during school hours.
In case of absence, parents should email the child’s form tutor and the relevant reception before 7:45 am. The School Receptionist will call home if no email has been received. Upon returning to school after any absence, a note explaining the circumstances should be handed to the school office. If a student is absent for 3 days or more due to illness, a doctor’s certificate is required upon his / her return to school.
Medical visits, visa interviews, and other appointments should be planned outside the school day. However, if it is necessary to leave school early on a particular day, the Class Teacher / Form Tutor needs to be informed at least a day in advance, and a parental note explaining the circumstances should be given to the reception.
If a student has permission to leave school during the school day, they must sign out when they leave and sign in when they return. The signing-out book can be found at Reception.
If a student is going to be absent for an extended period of time due to personal circumstances, parents should contact the school to discuss the matter with the Class Teacher / Form Tutor and ask for the Head of School’s approval. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain and make up work and assignments missed when absent. Absence due to extended vacations or family trips during school time is strongly discouraged. A student must have regular school attendance, in case of absence due to unauthorised circumstances. It is expected that a student’s attendance is over 95%.
Calendar dates must be respected and followed accurately so students do not miss curriculum time.
STUDENT COLLECTION FROM SCHOOL
Authorised adults are issued with security cards, which they must use to enter the school. Security will swipe this with the child’s bracelet to ensure the correct child is leaving with the correct adult. If an authorised adult forgets their card or there is an error with the system, they will be asked for their photo ID. A written permission form will be completed by the receptionist, which the adult must give to the security team when they leave.
If your card becomes lost or damaged, you will need to inform the school in writing, and a replacement card will be issued, and you will be notified of any additional costs.
You may update the list of authorised adults at any time by sending a written request.
If someone else will be collecting your child(ren) from school, including parents of other students at the school, you must send a written authorisation with the full name of the person collecting your child (as it is written on their ID), the name of your child and their class, to the school before 12 pm. This should be sent to the relevant reception, class teacher, and Head of School.
The school day ends at 3:00 pm and Students should leave at the latest by 3:10 pm. If your child(ren) is not collected within 10 minutes after the agreed collection time, the receptionist will call you. If there is no response by 20 minutes after the agreed collection time then the emergency contact(s) for your child(ren) will be called by the receptionist. A member of the Leadership Team will remain with your child until 30 minutes after the agreed collection time which is 3:00pm. After this time, your child will be put into the care of the Security Team and you will receive a call informing you of this. Regular latecomers will be issued with letters first by the relevant head of school and in turn by the Head of College, asking you to respect the timings of the school.
HOUSE SYSTEMS
Each student from FS1 upwards belongs to one of the School Houses.
Aims of a House system are to:
- Give the students a focus of identity outside their class group.
- Provide competition in sports and the arts.
- Give an added incentive to work hard in all subjects.
Enable students to identify with students and staff outside their own year group
The House system provides a focus for students. House points are gained for academic, artistic, pastoral, and sporting achievements throughout the year. House and sports cups are awarded annually to recognise these achievements.
SCHOOL DRESS CODE AND APPEARANCE
School wear should be comfortable, practical, and appropriate for the working day and portray a good image of the school to all visitors:
All students will wear the approved school uniform.
Shoes must be black and the style must be plain. Shoes should be sensible (heels for girls’ shoes must be no more than 3 cm). In Early Years, non-lace-up shoes is recommended.
Hair must be clean and tidy and for boys, of reasonable length above the collar. Girls must wear long hair tied back during the school day, with a black hair band.

MEDICAL
The School Doctor and Nurse are on call throughout the school day.
No student is to take a course of treatment or prescription medicine at school without the School Doctor’s knowledge and permission. Accidents or emergencies must be reported to the Doctor at once whenever they occur. Before visiting the Doctor, students should report to the Nurse and have their names entered in the Attendance Book. After a visit to the Doctor / Nurse, students will be given a medical note which they must show to their Class Teacher / Form Tutor. Parents will be informed about any medical issues occurring at the school.
Should a student become ill during the day, the Doctor will arrange for appropriate medical aid and inform both teachers and parents. Students should not return to class without a medical note from the Doctor or Nurse. Students should not leave school because of illness without first consulting with the Doctor. The Doctor will contact the student’s parents and make arrangements for the student to go home. Students excused by the School Doctor must inform the Class Teacher / Form Tutor and sign out at the school office
DINING ROOM
Students are expected to line up in an orderly fashion to receive food and drinks. The Dining Room is an area where the students can relax and converse with their friends and teachers. Loud talking and raised voices are not permitted. All students are expected to display good table manners and have a combined responsibility to keep the Dining Room as tidy as possible and to leave their tables clear and clean. After lunch, students may play in the playground or go to the library.
MOBILE PHONES AND MUSIC PLAYERS
Mobile telephones and Music Players (IPOD, MP3, etc.) and other electronic items are not necessary during a working School Day, and students are requested not to bring them to School. Any mobile telephone or music player brought to School will be looked after by the Form Tutor and returned at the end of the school day.
If calls need to be made home, then the School Office telephone in the reception area may be used for urgent calls to parents/guardians, but only with written permission from your child’s Class Teacher / Form Tutor. Phone calls home should not be used to ask for things you have forgotten to be brought in by your driver.
PERSONAL PROPERTY
All personal property is brought to school entirely at the owner’s risk.
Any damage to school property must be reported at once to the appropriate staff. All students must respect the personal belongings of other students.
All students must respect the buildings, grounds and environment of the school.Staff may inspect the possessions of students if they have reason to believe that they might discover stolen property, illegal material, or other items that contravene school rules.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS
Kent College West Cairo is a mixed community, and the boys and girls are encouraged to form friendships in a mature and responsible way. They are at different stages of development and in some respects have different needs, yet all derive strength from each other and from being part of the community:
- We ask our students they cooperate with all their fellow students and treat them with respect.
- We encourage our students to be good examples of mutual respect and to be vigilant in seeking to check inappropriate behaviour.
- Staff can play a positive role in helping students to cultivate a proper appreciation of one another and in supporting them at all times in this important aspect of a student’s development.
PASTORAL SUPPORT
If you feel worried about something or if you wish to talk about how you are feeling or have a personal problem, there are many people available to listen, including your Class Teachers / Form Tutors and Subject Teachers.
Remember, your own friends may be able to help, or just an older boy or girl with whom you can talk in a relaxed way. Your Class Teacher and Form Tutor are always ready to help, as is any other member of staff you feel comfortable with.
There may be times when you do not feel able to talk with a member of staff, and this is perfectly normal. Other people you might communicate with include your parents and the Head of the relevant school, and the Headmaster at the school.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
All students have access to a broad, balanced and relevant education irrespective of their age, gender, race, background or disability. All have the opportunity to reach their full potential. The active pursuit of these aims is evident in all activities and relationships involving staff and students. The curriculum takes into account the diversity of our society. Teaching styles encourage all students to participate in the classroom and discourage the domination of lessons by any particular group. Any element of racism, whatever form it may take, will be swiftly and firmly dealt with. Students who persist in racist behaviour must expect a formal warning from the Head of School.
WELL-BEING – STUDENT BEDTIME
Sleep and proper rest are essential for learning. Please see the suggested bedtimes for our students. Suggested bedtimes are the latest time:
| Early Years | 8:00 PM |
| Lower Junior School (Years 2 and 3) | 8:30 PM |
| Upper Junior School (Years 4-6) | 9:00 PM |
| Lower Senior School (Years 7-9) | 9:30 PM |
| Upper Senior School (Years 10+) | 10:00 PM |
AGREEMENT FOR STUDENTS
I will do my best to:
- Come to school regularly and be on time for lessons and activities.
- Maintain a polite, respectful manner to all other members of the school community.
- Keep the school rules and be responsible for my own behaviour.
- Work hard and listen carefully to instructions.
- Do my class-work and my home learning to the best of my ability.
- Wear the school uniform and follow the dress code.
- Treat others as I would like to be treated.
- Respect school property and the property of others.
- Speak in English at school to improve my English Language skills.
BULLYING
Bullying is the wilful, conscious desire to hurt, threaten or frighten someone. It can take the form of physical assault, verbal abuse (including e-bullying such as the sending of hurtful notes, e-mails, or text messages), abuse of property, or the deliberate isolation or exclusion of an individual. It is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. It is the responsibility of all members of the community to take action if they see it happening. To remain silent is to condone the action of the bully.
Older students are encouraged to keep an eye on isolated younger students, offer support to them, and inform staff of their concern. Experience suggests that the role of older students is an important element in the well-being of schools, not least in advising staff of the times and locations in school premises and grounds where bullying is likely to occur.
Should you be bullied, you are strongly encouraged to seek advice and help; the worst thing to do is not to tell anyone. Should you become aware that another student is being bullied, you have a clear responsibility and duty to seek advice and help. Bullying does not go away if you do nothing about it.
Unacceptable behaviour will be reported immediately to the Class Teachers/Form Tutors and parents of the victim and the offender. If there is physical injury, the incident will be reported to the Head of School. The Head of School will consult with the relevant Class teacher/Form Tutor and they will jointly agree on what action to take. Advice, support and counselling will be offered to all parties involved, and, if
necessary, to their parents. While recognising that both victim and bully need help, Kent College West Cairo does not subscribe to the ‘no blame’ approach.
Those guilty of bullying are not assumed to be irrecoverably bad. They will be encouraged to view their anti-social behaviour objectively, and, given a change of heart on their part, the possibility of their restoration as valued members of the community will never be in doubt.
COMPUTERS AT KENT COLLEGE, WEST CAIRO- ACCEPTABLE USE
Use of the Kent College West Cairo computers and access to the Internet are provided to promote educational research and learning. This access is a privilege and not a right. The purpose of this policy is to define what is and what is not regarded as acceptable use. Students are required to read this policy and will be expected to observe it.

- Students should not use the school internet to download substantial files, which includes games, videos, films and YouTube or TikTok clips, unless they seek permission from their teacher or a member of the IT staff.
- The school will use a filtering system to regulate traffic on the Internet. This system is monitored and students who are found to have made repeated or persistent attempts to access blocked sites will be spoken to, their parents will be informed and their computer privileges may be withdrawn.
- Students are not allowed to use VPNs, Proxy servers or any other method that may be used to bypass our internet security. Any attempt to do so will lead to computer privileges being withdrawn and other possible sanctions, depending on the severity of the offence.
Students caught using computers and the internet, both in school and outsid,e to bully, humiliate, or defame any other individual in the school through social media or any other online medium, whether student or teacher, will be subject to significant sanctions

Students are expected to be waiting, at the designated pick-up point, for the morning buses at least 5 minutes ahead of schedule, and to go promptly to the buses at the end of the school day. The buses will leave at the advertised departure time and as such, if you are late, you will miss the bus. It is then the parents’ responsibility to arrange alternative transport.

SAFEGUARDING CONCERNS
Where to go if I need to report a safeguarding concern?
If your safeguarding concern is not urgent, then the class teacher/tutor may be a good start – they see the student every day and should be able to give you some information. If you feel the concern is more important, please send an email to one of the Safeguarding team.
In Kent College West Cairo, Ms Katie Alexander and Mr. Andy Stanley are the Safeguarding Leads.
