The Study Group runs a bus service in the Cankaya, Gaziosmanpasa, Oran,Incek and Beysukent areas. The bus service is door-to-door. A monitor is employed for each bus. The bus service is entirely self-financing and fares are set in September each year.

Parents are requested to ensure that they are outside at the appointed time to meet the bus, as children will not be allowed to get off the bus until they are met by a parent or other carer.

The BESG does not provide lunch. Children should bring a packed lunch. This will be eaten under supervision in the hall. The lunch monitors will try to ensure that children make a good attempt at eating the food in their packed lunch. In return, we ask parents to provide a lunch that they would reasonably expect their child to eat and that is consistent with the BESG Healthy Eating Policy. Water is provided. Any drinks brought into school should be in unbreakable containers, and must not be in cans. Some parents have an arrangement with a local caterer who provides a hot or cold lunch delivered to the school in accordance with the BESG Healthy Eating Policy.

Parents should not send/provide Fast food as lunch.

The Study Group's location within the Embassy compound means that we have to adopt certain security measures. These especially concern the issue of passes, which are issued to parents and / or maids and drivers of the Nursery class only.
The use of passes is regulated by simple rules:

1. The guards are instructed not to let anybody in without a pass.

2. If you forget your pass, please be prepared to wait at the gate until the guard telephones the school office.

3. The present system relies upon the co-operation of the Embassy.
   

Parents whose children do not go home on the buses collect their children from the study group gate. No child will be allowed to leave the grounds unless the parent, or a person authorised by the parent and bearing the appropriate identification, collects him/her from the gate.

If a child's arrangements for going home change in any way parents should notify the office as soon as possible and by 2.30 pm at the latest. If there is any doubt and parents cannot be contacted, the original arrangements will remain in effect.

We strongly believe that swimming should be an essential learning skill in a child’s life. You can never predict when a child may get into difficulty in water and being able to swim can literally save their lives. Dramatic but very true.

According to the British Curriculum the guidelines are clearly set out for the provision of swimming.

In KS1 pupils should be taught to: move in water eg: jump, walk, hop and spin, whilst using swimming aids or supports float and move with and without swimming aids feel the buoyancy and support of water and swimming aids propel themselves in water using different swimming aids, arm and leg actions, and basic strokes.

In KS2 pupils should be taught to: pace themselves in floating and swimming challenges related to speed, distance and personal survival swim unaided for a sustained period of time over a distance of at least 25 metres, use recognised arm and leg actions lying on their front and back use a range of recognised strokes and personal survival skills eg: front crawl, back crawl, breast stroke, sculling, floating and surface diving.
