SESSION 1
Dhekelia Early Years offer ‘Wrap Round Care’, this is
where you arrange directly with them to collect your
child from FS1 at 10.25 and they will keep them until
12.30.
(This is an arrangement made with the Early Years
Crèche rather than with the school)
The extended hours run from:
10.25am – 12.30pm for the nursery children
10.45am – 12.30pm for the crèche children
The staff will collect the children directly from the nursery and take them to
Dhekelia Early Years where they will be cared for by qualified staff offering
messy play, fun activities and games.
The wrap around facility is of course optional. There will be a charge of €10
for crèche and nursery children for the additional hours. Crèche and Nursery
children are to bring their own packed lunch which will be refrigerated here
(please ensure you deliver your child’s packed lunch in a named lunch box to the
crèche office when you drop your child off in the morning.)
If you are interested please contact the crèche for a form to complete or
contact them on 2474 4183.

Starting FS2 in September 2012
• We will have staggered entry dates during the first week of the
Autumn Term.
• All children start school at 07.25 but we ask that they arrive at
08:00 on their first day. In the beginning your child will finish at
11.30am to ensure a smooth transition into school and help
them (and you) make the adjustment to the continental day.
By half term FS2 children will finish at 12.30.
• After their first day they will be able to travel to school on the
school bus in the mornings. You may wish to continue
bringing your child to school for the first few weeks. More
details about buses can be obtained from the Housing Office
on Station.
• On your child's first day please bring them directly to the
classroom, where you can help him/her find his/her named
coat peg and bring him/her into his/her new class. Please feel
free to stay as long as is necessary! On all subsequent
mornings, they can go directly to the Key Stage 1 playground,
where there will be a teacher on duty from 07.15am.
During the morning, children will enjoy a drink and snack. The
food offered would vary from day to day, including food that the
children have cooked or prepared themselves. Children will also
be encouraged to try new foods. Milk and water will be available.
Snack time is also used as an opportunity to promote appropriate
table manners, service others, taking turns, preparing and
clearing up afterwards.
Parents may wish to provide food if a child is leaving or
celebrating a birthday.
Please let us know if your child has any allergies.
The weekly charge is €2.50 per child, payable half termly in
advance.
(You will receive a bill stating the required amount).

• improve the progress that you make in
your writing, including the children in the
Early Years Foundation Stage
• improve the quality of teaching so that it is
all at least good and you are all challenged
to do your best, including those of you who
find your work easy
• ensure that all school leaders have high
expectations of what you can achieve
Snack and the continental day
All children have either two or three breaks, during the school day.
Please ensure they bring in snacks to sustain them during this time.
Common sense dictates that chocolate is not suitable in the warm Cyprus climate!
Water is always available from drinking fountains around the school although your
child may also wish to bring in a carton of drink, no glass bottles or cans please.
Children should always be encouraged to drink plenty of liquid, especially during
the hot summer months.
No sweets should be brought to school
Children can bring a water bottle for the classroom. It must be named and have a
sports style mouth piece. They should be refilled at home daily.
A healthy juice bar runs every Friday for KS1 and KS2 children. Drinks are 1 Euro
each, they are 100% fruit juice and all profits go to the school council.
KS1 and Foundation children are offered free fruit each day.
