Reporting to parents

You will hear from us four times a year, at least.

After every examination the class teacher sends home a written report with subject marks, attendance and a short comment. A Parent-Teacher Meeting follows within ten days, and subject teachers stay back to meet you individually.

Parents can also check attendance, marks and fee receipts at any time through the school's online portal, using the admission number printed on the child's identity card.
