Panaga School is a mainstream school and offers very limited support for children with special educational needs. In cases where there is a requirement to cater for such a need, parents MUST contact the Principal of Panaga School ( tim.robinson@shell.com
HRF/4) for advice and to establish if local support is available before coming to Brunei. Failure to make contact with the school before arrival , will in some cases delay the admissions process and your child will not be admitted to the school until we have all the correct documentation in place. A place at
Panaga School is not guaranteed, if you have any doubts always contact the school for guidance.

Note: For Pre-Nursery pupils, admission will only be accepted at the start of the academic year in September.

Entrance Assessments
The school conducts entry assessments for all children. These are used to provide us with a clear picture of the child’s prior learning and current abilities so that they are allocated to a class which will support their ongoing development. Where an assessment may highlight an area of concern, parents will be informed and subsequent assessments (including requests for assessments and reports from external specialists) may be requested as a condition of an offer of admission.

Curriculum
Panaga School has an International Stream which follows the National Curriculum of England and the
International Primary Curriculum (IPC). The curriculum provision incorporates residential field trips and visits, which are integral to the education offered. Children are expected to follow the curriculum in full. Where parents opt not to include their child in residential visits lasting more than one night, the school will not provide alternative educational provision.
English Language Support (EAL)
An English Language or a Support Language programme will be offered if the pupil’s level of English prevents him/her from accessing the curriculum fully.
Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Panaga School is a mainstream school and offers very limited support for children with special educational needs. Where there is such a requirement, parents must contact the Principal (HRF/4) for advice and to establish if local support is available before coming to Brunei. Note: Failure to disclose any relevant information could result in the withdrawal of the child’s place if the school feels it cannot meet the child’s educational needs.
‘Where a child has been identified with a SEN before admittance / on admittance / after admittance, due to the limited resources, both within the school and locally, the school reserves the right to recommend alternative educational provision, if the needs of the child cannot be met within the mainstream classroom.’ Panaga School Special Educational
Needs Policy
Digital Education (DE)
Digital Education is an integral part of the learning provision at Panaga School. All parents and children must accept the Panaga School Acceptable Use Policy (attached). Regular audits are carried out to ensure continue compliance with the guidelines.
Medical
Parents are required to notify the school of any medical condition or need for regular medication. In a medical emergency, the school’s Senior Leadership Team may authorise referral to the Shell Panaga Health Centre for urgent treatment.
Code of Conduct
The day-to-day management of the school is the responsibility of the Senior Leadership Team and in educational matters their decision is final. It is a condition of entry that all parents undertake to ensure their children comply with all school rules. This includes, but is not limited to, punctual attendance, behaviour and appearance. The Principal shall have the right to suspend or expel a child from school following a thorough investigation process.
Publicity
Parents and children agree that basic personal details and images may, from time to time, be used for the purpose of publicity. Any image taken of children in school by parents or their guests should not be published on social networking sites without the permission of the parents of the children in the image.

Assessment Data
Parents agree that the school may collect and store data on pupil progress against assessments made internally and through external testing (PiPs, ISAs). Teacher assessment data is also stored using Tapestry (Early Years) and
Classroom Monitor (P2 – P8). All such data includes basic information relating to the children’s age, language and background to provide for effective analysis.

Student passes are to be directly applied for by the parents of third party children from the Ministry of
Education in Bandar or via school administration.
