parents' secondary handboo k - Laude San Pedro International ...

We insist that long hair is worn tied back, so that it does not get in the way in class or on the playground. Hair
bands, ribbons, slides, elastics etc should be discreet and navy blue in colour.
If a student arrives in school incorrectly dressed, they will be asked to remedy the situation immediately,
either by correcting their appearance independently, or returning home to dress properly. Should the problem
persist, parents will be contacted to discuss the problem. If you are having difficulty obtaining items of
uniform, please notify us.
All items of uniform, including socks, shoes, trainers etc must be clearly marked with the student’s name.
4.4 Sixth Form Dress
Those students studying in Laude’s Sixth Form are not required to wear school uniform, although our
expectations are that older students preparing for university and working life will maintain the highest
standards of dress and good grooming. For this reason, we do nor permit jeans or gym shoes of any kind, and
any items of clothing displaying logos and ‘messages’ are also not permitted. Hair styles are expected to
remain appropriate and in keeping with sensible clothing, and no body piercing will be tolerated. As for
uniform, any sixth former not respecting the school’s dress code will be required to attend to their appearance
before resuming their studies.
5.0 REPORTING TO PARENTS
Laude San Pedro International College aims to provide detailed reporting to parents, and both formative and
summative assessment are administered in order to give as rounded a view as possible of each student’s
academic and social development. The school also actively encourages student reflection on their learning,
and each student’s involvement in individualized target setting with regular reviewing by tutors and teachers.
All students in Years 7 – 13 receive detailed termly academic Reports with tutor comments.
The dates of parents’ evenings and the issuing of reports can be found in the school diary.
6.0 HOME/SCHOOL COMMUNICATION
We believe it is very important to continue the good home/school relationships developed in the Primary
school - school/parent relationships that will remain supportive and constructive as students progress in their
school careers. To achieve the best results it is important that the family and the school work together
towards the same common objectives.
6.1 Rules & Advice
At the beginning of the year, tutors will give a homework diary to each student. Please use the diaries to
inform us of anything that you wish us to know. We ask parents to sign the diary every weekend so we can be
certain that all teacher notes have been read.
6.2 Appointments
If you have any concerns about classes or progress you should make an appointment to see your son or
daughter’s tutor in the first instance. Each Head of Key Stage will have time set aside every week for parental
meetings. Parents who wish to arrange such a meeting should organize an appointment in advance by
contacting the School Secretary by email to: info@laudesanpedro.com or by telephone on 952.799.900.
6.3 Parent Information Meetings
A Parent Information Meeting for the whole school is held soon after the beginning of the Autumn Term. This
is an opportunity for the Head and Teachers to introduce themselves, explain important routines and outline
the year’s curriculum. Also available at these meetings are members of the Secondary Management Team,
including the Directora Tecnica (Head of the Spanish section).
6.4 Parents’ Evenings
Parents’ evenings are held for each Key Stage in the school. These meetings take place on the ground floor of
the Secondary School, in room C17. They last from 16.30 to 18.00. Please refer to the school diary for these
dates.
