The school day for all our children begins at 7.30 am. Our gates open at 7.10 am and children are supervised from that time.

KG

• KG children gather in an enclosed and secure area outside the KG classrooms. At 7.30am they stand quietly for the Kuwait National Anthem, and are then taken to their classrooms by their teachers.
• They have two meal breaks in their day: 9.30am to 10.00am and 11.30am to 12.00pm. Children bring a healthy packed lunch from home to eat.
• KG’s day finishes at 12.15pm.

Pre-Prep (Reception, Year 1 & 2)

• Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes begin their day on the Pre-Prep playground. At 7.30am they line up and stand quietly for the Kuwait National Anthem, and are then taken to their classrooms by their teachers. We encourage these children to say goodbye to their parents on the playground and to take their own bags to the classrooms.
• Break times are from 9.30am to 10.00am and 11.30am to 12.00pm. Children bring a healthy packed lunch from home to eat and then have some supervised outdoor free-play time.
• For the majority of the school day, the children will be based in their own classrooms. However, there are some specialist lessons each week including: PE, swimming, music and ICT.
• Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes finish their day at 1.30pm. On some afternoons, ECAs (Extra Curricular Activities) are offered and these finish at 2.30pm.
