SECURITY: 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 can be issued to parents of all children
and the maids / nannies of Nursery age pupils only.
The use of passes is regulated by the following rules:
1. The guards will only allow access with a pass
2. If you forget your pass you may not be admitted and will have to
wait for further identification as a minimum
3. The Embassy is responsible for all security and may change
regulations at any time
4. Even with a pass times of entry are limited
5. Passes will be required for social occasions and evening
meetings
Parents whose children do not go home on the buses
collect their children from the Study Group gate. Those
with passes will be granted entry after 2.50 pm. 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 school 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. After this time we cannot
guarantee the message can be acted upon. If there is any
doubt, and parents cannot be contacted, the original
arrangements will remain in effect.
SNACK: Children may bring a mid-morning snack
(e.g. a biscuit or fruit) which is eaten in the
classroom before the morning break by Infants. Juniors
eat during the break. This should be packed separately
from lunch, and should be simple and easily eaten.
Filtered water is provided throughout the day for
children, who should all bring a plastic mug with their
name clearly labelled.
SPELLING: The Study Group teaches a British
English form of spelling. Allowances are made for
children (particularly from North America) who have
developed an American English spelling system.
SPORTS DAY: This is held during the last week of
the school year. All the children take part and compete
for a shield, which is presented to the winning team.
SWIMMING: During the warmer months (usually May
and June) the Study Group is fortunate to have use of
the British Ambassador’s pool. This is supported by a
group of parent volunteers. If you would like to
volunteer to help with the swimming (no qualifications
needed) please contact the office.
