Overview

School Timings

Parent Meetings

There is a scheduled parent-teacher-coach meeting once in the academic year, and a parent-teacher meeting once a semester. Teachers and coaches are also available throughout the school year, should you need to discuss your child's progress at any other time during the semester. Meetings to discuss specific issues can be arranged by contacting our Client Services Manager.

Transportation

The St Andrews School has a bus service that runs daily from Jebel Ali to the school. Schedules will be confirmed and the exact bus stops and timings will be announced the 1st week of school. At this time, you will be invoiced and your child's place will be confirmed for the bus service.

[NOTE: For time saving reasons, the bus WILL NOT stop at individual homes, only the designated bus stops]

The cost of the bus service is 4,500Dhs per child, per semester; payable at the beginning of each semester (i.e. 1 current and 1 post-dated cheque). If you would like to register your child for the bus service, please contact Debbie Dodds at the school.

Parent Support Group

A Parent Support Group is run at the St Andrews School on a regular basis. The purpose of this group is to help parents understand their child’s development and provide them with the education they need to get the most of their child’s time at home.

The Parent Support Group will also provide an opportunity for parents to share ideas and thoughts on various subjects and issues.

All parents are welcome to attend, information on times and dates to be sent home once school starts.

Uniform Requirements

All students are expected to be in full uniform at all times, including school excursions, unless otherwise notified. Due to the hot Dubai sun, we stress the importance of students wearing hats to school and on excursions. Please ensure that your child’s uniform is the right size, clean and tidy, with all the buttons done-up. Girls are also expected to have their hair neatly tied-up, with NO jewellery, nail polish or make-up.

Failure to adhere to the school dress code will result in the student being sent home.
