School Information System
We are currently using Fedena* as our information management system. All report cards and transcripts are processed in this system. All discipline and attendance is logged here. During the year further developments will be announced.
# Please note that the current school system is under review.
*https://fedena.com
Parent Association (PA)
The purpose of the PA is to encourage communication between the school and the parent community with the purpose of creating opportunities where parents may further support their child's learning and educational experiences. All parents are automatically members of the PA on enrolling their child. Details of being a representative are available from the Headmaster's ofce.
Quality Assurance
How is educational quality assured?
External
KCI is a partner school of King's College Taunton (KCT)as such, seeks to offer the same quality of education. In order to assure the best British / International standards, we will seek accreditation from The Council of British Schools Overseas (COBIS). KCI will also seek to further links both with KCT and the Woodard group of which KCT is a mmber.
KCI is a registered Cambridge International Education (CIE) Certied Examination Centre which allows our students to sit the available suite of CIE examinations. CIE also provides training that includes assessment moderation so that our teachers meet the international standards of assessment, ensuring that your children are assessed against world-wide performance standards.
Internal
All teachers are observed on a regular basis and encouraged to reect on their teaching. All formal summative assessments for students are standadised by year group. Assessment are collected for peer review, discussion and moderation. Standardised tests are used to compare KCI student performance with other like schools and data is used to inform teaching, learning and future planning of training for teachers.
Academic Programme
The Academic programme is designed primarily to prepare students for access to Universities in the UK. It should be remembered that the primary role of KCI is to prepare students for International Programmes and Universities.
KCI offers the following programmes for the Academic Year 2018-19:
08
Early Years and Foundation Stage: Nursery and Reception
The Early Years curriculum is specically designed for children aged 3 to 5 years. Children are taught in a facility designed to meet their needs with additional facilities that are developmentally challenging such as an age appropriate outdoor play area including climbing apparatus, a sand pit and sports equipment. Each classroom is equipped with computers and the best educational resources.
The teaching staff in Early Years is trained and experienced and learning environments are carefully planned by the teachers to achieve their objectives and meet the needs of the students.
Both the Reception classroom and the Nursery Playroom are equipped with hand-crafted games and toys of India. As far as is possible, King's College India continues to source all our durable equipment from companies and collectives who adhere to a sustainable and environmental friendly ethos.
There is also an emphasis on recycling, especially with regard to sculpture from packaging; and in using socially responsible Art materials (i.e. recycled and hand-made paper, beeswax, chalk and oil pastel and non-acrylic-based paints).
In addition to our socially and environmentally responsible resourcing, the EYFS department at King's College India aims to ensure every child has a positive and fully engaged experience of the world around them.
Creative Curriculum
The Early Years lends itself very readily to a cross-curricular, multi-disciplinary approach, assessed as it is in seven areas, three prime (Emotional, Social and Physical) and four additional (Literacy, Numeracy, Creative and Exploratory). To integrate and enrich these existing criteria, King's College India Early Years works with an in-house, tailor made Creative Curriculum with new topics every ve to seven weeks, aiming to link all areas of children's learning through thematic songs, stories, stories, games, artwork, images and activities. Parents are invited to contribute to these projects by coming in to school to talk about elds of relevant expertise and to attend related assemblies.

Reporting
At the beginning of each half term, a 'What's Happening' letter and visual Medium Term Plans will be mailed to all our parents in preparation for the half-term's project (or projects). Parents will be sent regular updates on their child's progress via Tapestry in the form of detailed observations; and at the end of each term via a written summative report.
Cambridge Primary: Key Stage 1 and 2 (Years 1 to 6)
Cambridge Primary, typically for learners aged 5 to 11 years, is a world-class curriculum to develop learner skills and understanding in English, Mathematics and Science.
At KCI, in years 1 to 6, a broad programme is offered in addition to Cambridge Primary English, mathematics and Science to provide good skills and sufcient content knowledge to embark on lower secondary courses.
Ten periods per week in allotted to the specialist subjects like Arts, ICT, Hindi, PE and Music. The rest of the hours are for the core subjects: English, Mathematics, Science and Humanities.
From the beginning of the Upper Primary: it provides teachers with a summative assessment at the end of each academic year in English, Mathematics and Science. These tests are called Cambridge Primary Programme Progression Tests, which are marked by the teacher. These tests enable teachers to track the progression students are achieving as they progress through the Upper Primary years and supplies teachers with an International benchmark.
Children completing Year 6, pupils have the opportunity to sit the external Cambridge Primary Checkpoint examinations within all three subject areas. Checkpoint is designed to supply feedback to teachers, pupils and parents: providing them with a transferable indication of academic progress and achievement. Students who sit the examinations also receive certication of achievement.
Grading System (Years 3 to 6)
For Years 3 to Year 6, the grades are benchmarked with three attainment levels (E, A and N) and ve effort grades, 5 to 1, which have clear guidelines to explain the standard of achievement for each grade. For Years 1 and 2, we only publish the effort grades.

Cambridge Advanced: Key Stage 5 (AS and A Level-Years 12-13)
Cambridge International A Level is typically a two-year course, and Cambridge International AS Level is typically one year.
Assessment options
Students can choose from a range of assessment options to gain Cambridge International AS & A Level qualications:
1. Take the Cambridge International AS Level only. The syllabus content is half a Cambridge International A Level.
2. Take a 'staged' assessment route – take the Cambridge International AS Level in one examination series and complete the nal Cambridge International A Level at a subsequent series. AS Level marks can be carried forward to a full A Level twice within a 13 month period.*
3. Take all papers of the Cambridge International A Level course in the same examination session, usually at the end of the course.
* The staged assessment route is not possible in all subjects. The outcomes awarded for Cambridge International AS Level language syllabuses cannot be carried forward to Cambridge International A Level.
AT KCI, following success at IGCSE level, students can choose to stay on at KCI to take their A/S in Year 12 and A Levels in Year 13. At this stage students choose up to four subjects at A/S Level and then usually continue with three subjects in the second year at A2 Level. Students may also opt to take further IGCSE courses or a combination of all three.
Note: While making their course selections, it is highly recommended that students take into account their future education and career plans. Different Universities have different entry requirements and hence, students should become familiar with the specic requirements of the Universities in the countries to which they intend to apply. It is extremely crucial that the choices are made after thorough research, discussion with as many people as possible.
Course Options
The course options for our rst cohort of AS level students will be published in the 2019-20 Handbook.
University Admissions
Following successful completion of the A/S and A Level courses, students are qualied for admission to universities in Britain, Australia, USA, Canada, India and other parts of the world. IGCSE and AS/A levels are widely recognized around India. A List is provided in Appendix 2.
14
Course selection
Assessment and Reporting
All assessments are guided by Cambridge Assessment International Education.
KCI will also offer external Baseline/benchmark tests in order to compare the learning of your child against UK National standards. The data will be shared in future meetings.
Teachers will issue an academic report to parents at the end of each quarter. This report will show not only the academic achievement for the term but will include useful comments for improving performance. However, when there are concerns about student performance an 'Academic Warning' could be sent by the subject teacher to the parents as and when needed. Some of these reports may require a meeting with the parent(s) to discuss strategies for improved academic performance, while others may simply be to raise awareness of the concern. With the latter, it may be sufcient to discuss the concern at a parent –teacher conference.
All timetables and course selections will be done in consultation with the Headmaster, Deputy Headmaster of Academics and specialist teachers. Advice will be provided on the best options bearing in mind the individual student needs and abilities.
Teaching staff
All teachers are recruited subject to the following criteria:
1) Must be a native English speaker originating from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the United States or national teacher with near-native uency in English.2) Must hold a teaching licence from their country of origin/passport 3) Must have at least 2 years' experience teaching in their subject specialism. 4) Must be in sympathy with the school philosophy and residential nature of the school and willing to be role models to the students, committed to providing the best education possible.
Study Hours
1 period is equal to 40 minutes. Students have to study 35 periods per week and approximately 120 hours a year per full course.
Diaries (Student-parent)
All students are issued with academic diaries. The diary is an essential tool in developing studies skills such as keeping track of homework, assignment due dates and prioritising tasks. It contains useful information such as English grammar guidelines, mathematics formulas, the scientic periodic table and so forth.
It also becomes a valuable communication tool between you and your child's teacher. On receiving the diary, the parent will be asked to sign an agreement (attached) to support KCI in its endeavours and to regularly check the contents of the diary (usually weekly on Fridays) and be supportive of its use.
15
School Day
8.30 marks the start of the day and concludes at 13:30 for the EYFS students and 16:30 for the rest of the school.
Games/activities are run between 3.20-4.30 and additional games and activities are available until 5.30pm. After which the boarding programme begins.
No students are allowed to leave school before 16.30 on any normal school day. Parents will be notied in advance of any unusual days (i.e. Half days).
Please refer to the diary for the detailed daily schedule.
Homeroom Tutor Groups
Homeroom tutor groups is a system that provides a form of pastoral care – in line with our holistic approach to your child's education. All year groups are assigned a homeroom teacher – this means that there is a group of students who meet daily with their Homeroom Tutor. In this way it is easy to identify when a student is experiencing problems both academically and / or emotionally and the Homeroom Tutor can quickly see if there is a problem emerging with a student and help address any possible concerns at an early stage. The sooner these problems are identied – the sooner they can be resolved. They are also required as a group, to plan and hold an assembly once a term, which helps develop team work and public speaking / performance skills.
Prep-Time
Students are expected to completed their home-work independently during the supervised Prep-Time which is in-built in the time table, right after the last lesson of the day.
Teachers will provide necessary guidance and support.
Admission
Admission to KCI is open to students of all nationalities. No student will be denied admission based on grounds of race, religion, or ethnic background.
Students admitted to Year 3 to 9 are required to sit for an admission test in three subjects: English, Mathematics and Science. Students admitted to Year 10 and above will sit entry tests that assess English language prociency as well as aptitude to undertake the programme. Successful candidates will be offered admission to the school based on student's performance in the KCI's admission tests, previous educational experience, grades and emotional stability. Student transcripts are required.
All students must be fully registered prior to entry onto the programme.
16
Year Placement
Term System
The Academic Year starts in April and continues for three terms ending in March the following year.
All students who are offered a place at KCI will be placed in their age appropriate year unless there are circumstances that prevent this. Students who have completed their academic grade in January (i.e. from Australian schools) cannot accelerate to the next grade but may enter and complete the remaining 3 months of the grade just completed. Students are also streamed where possible in English and Mathematics in years 10 and 11.
Term 1- 11 April to 01 June, 2018
Term 2 – 23 July to 14 Dec, 2018 with half term break from 22 Sept-7 Oct, 2018.

Homework
Homework is dened as any activity that is assigned by the classroom teacher to reinforce, prepare, review, practice, rehearse, or plan for the next day's lesson while learning independent study skills.It is as an integral part of schooling and research has shown that regular homework throughout a child's schooling can add an extra year of education.
Homework will be set on a regular basis, marked and returned in a timely manner.
Each afternoon, during the supervised Prep Time, the students are expected to independently complete the assigned work. Teachers will provide necessary guidance and support.
Students of Key Stage 3, 4 and 5 will receive additional work to be completed at home or in the dormitory for the residential students. Teachers will set the homework as per the homework schedule and policy so as to avoid overburdening.
Fostering Responsibility for Learning in Students
Student's will:
• Ensure that they understand the homework expectations.• Document the homework in their journal.• Work quietly and independently during prep time.• Complete the homework accurately, neatly and preferably on the day that it is assigned.• Submit the homework on the assigned due date following the expectations and instructions of the teacher.• Attend required homework or study sessions when deadlines are not met or when the teacher determines the student needs additional support.
Tardiness and Truancy
Truancy is dened as not going to class without permission as well as arriving late to class by 2 minutes or more without permission. As chronic tardiness and truancy are forms of behavior, students who are chronically late or truant are subject to progressively severe consequences.
Tifn and Lunch breaks
Students are expected to leave their classrooms and not loiter in the hallways or classrooms during these times. If food is being served in the Dining Hall, all students are to adjourn there whilst the food is being consumed. If teachers arrange any alternative area for a group to have their meals to be served, all students concerned in the change will be informed by the appropriate teacher.
Any student who is not well enough to participate in the meal times will be expected to stay in the Inrmary, where they will remain under appropriate supervision.
19
Missed Work
It is the responsibility of the student to ask the teacher for make-up work and to discuss a conveniently mutual time for handing in work.
Field Trips
KCI considers eld trips as part of the curriculum as opposed to extra-curricular activities. Parents will be informed at least a week in advance, of the upcoming eld trip.
It is expected that students, attending a short duration eld trip, will wear full school uniform unless told otherwise by their accompanying teacher. If the trip is sport related students should be wearing their PE uniform. Sport coaches and team managers will ensure the students know what is expected in the way of a uniform.
Student Contract
Student contracts are used for a variety of purposes from agreeing to modify certain behaviours (discipline) to improving academic performance and are designed to help a student take responsibility for his/her own decisions. The contract species the problem, recommends the actions the student must take to rectify the situation and the consequences of not doing so. Student contracts are agreed following a student and parent conference with the Deputy Headmaster of Pastoral and/or Academics. The student signs the contract in front of the parent (who also signs as a record) and then the relevant Deputy Headmaster's signature is added.
Student Supplies
Student are encouraged to take responsibility for bringing to lessons the necessary equipment: All books and paper are provided but pupils from Year 1 and above should have a Collins Oxford School Dictionary and a pencil case containing the following:
• Rollerball Pens in black or blue• Two HB pencils• Coloured Pencils• Eraser• Pencil Sharpener• 30cm plastic ruler• Mathematical/Geometry Set (from Year 3 and above)• Casio Scientic calculator (from Year 4 and above?)
Student code of conduct
Students who are enrolled at KCI have already passed an admission test that conrms their suitability to be on a strong academic programme taught in English and have the personal traits of integrity, intelligence and diligence.
They are part of a community that recognises warm-heartedness, respect and tolerance for others.
KCI students should have a sense of pride in being part of this special community, contributing towards a healthy school environment.
20
Instructional support
KCI Currently has a Primary library and is planning for an inviting and friendly self-access centre for Secondary which helps support self directed study and allows students to develop their independent study skills.
Library / self-access centre
KCI support education through technology and equip the facilities with the best available educational technology. Apart from smart projectors in all classrooms, we supply tablets for use in the classrooms. We will continue to explore the ways technology can enhanced the learning experience.
Audio Visual Support
Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT)
King's College India recognizes the benets of technology in school and a policy for this new initiative will be published in due course.
Please refer to the KCI IT Acceptable Use Policy in Appendix 2. This policy needs to be signed and returned to the school ofce.
Science Laboratories
We have dedicated Biology, Chemistry and Physics laboratories designed and equipped to international specications.
Further facilities are planned as we expand – in particular, a multipurpose hall designed for Music/Drama and PE/Sports activities.
21
We expect KCI students to:
• Treat all other members of the community with respect.• Respect school property and other people's belongings.• Contribute to a positive learning environment.• Refrain from inappropriate language and behaviours.• Be punctual.• Wear the school uniform in an appropriate fashion and with pride.• Bring only the items to school that are appropriate at school.• Speak English on campus as much as possible.

Academic Honesty requires that students produce his or her own work.
Students must face the academic demands with honesty if they are to learn successfully and develop as people of moral integrity. It is our belief that cheating and plagiarism does damage to the individual and to the whole community.
CHEATING is the act of gaining an unfair advantage or representing work as his or her own when it is not. Such examples include:
1) Using the ideas or work of another and pretending that it is your idea or work.
2) Obtaining advanced information about tests, quizzes or examinations.
3) Using materials that are not allowed during a test, examination etc.
4) Using the same work or project or portion of such, produced by the student, for another course, without approval.
5) Intentionally misrepresenting the need for extra time on assignments, papers, tests, examinations etc, in order to gain further information.
6) Lying about any of the above.

It is crucial that students understand the ramications of cheating at KCI. The international standards and CIE standards are that if a student cheats in ONE subject he / she automatically fails ALL subjects in the same exam session.
For internal examinations at KCI, the minimum disciplinary measure will be that the student will fail in the subject where the cheating occurred and 20 points will be deducted from the student's discipline score.
Guidelines for correct examination conduct are placed inside and outside the examination room a week before the examination takes place.
PLAGIARISM is:1) To steal and pass of the ideas or words of someone else as your own.
2) To use someone else's work without saying it belongs to them (crediting the source).
3) To present as new and original an idea derived from an existing source.

Anti Bullying
KCI holds a ZERO tolerance for bullying. A student found to be bullying will be punished according to the school's discipline regulations (please refer to the Discipline section of this Handbook).
What is Bullying?
Dan Olweus, creator of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Programme, provides us with this commonly accepted denition for bullying in his book, Bullying at School: What We Know and What We Can Do:
"A person is bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons, and he or she has difculty defending himself or herself."
This denition includes three important components:
1. Bullying is aggressive behaviour that involves unwanted, negative actions.
2. Bullying involves a pattern of behavior repeated over time.
3. Bullying involves an imbalance of power or strength. Types of Bullying
Bullying can take on many forms, some of which are put below.
1. Verbal bullying including derogatory comments and bad names 2. Bullying through social exclusion or isolation 3. Physical bullying such as hitting, kicking, shoving, and spitting 4. Bullying through lies and false rumors 5. Having money or other things taken or damaged by students who bully 6. Being threatened or being forced to do things by students who bully 7. Racial bullying 8. Sexual bullying 9. Cyber bullying (via cell phone or Internet)
It is not always clear when bullying is taking place.
It is the responsibility of all students at KCI to report to the Headmaster any suspected bullying.
Attendance
Attendance is one of the most crucial factors to success in education. Attendance is taken daily and a record kept.
Parents are asked to inform the Headmaster's ofce at least 3 days in advance when there is a planned absence.
In the case of sickness or an unplanned absence, parents are requested to call the Headmaster's ofce on the day of absence and to ensure that your child returns to school with a note explaining the absence.

KCI operates a 'House' system based on the British model. All students are assigned a House in which the mix of students is year groups allowing for different opportunities for interaction with other members of the community the student might otherwise not have. The House system is in operation through internal sports, Performing Arts and school-wide events such as “reading month”, “Science Fair”, “Oratory contest” and similar organized events.
Students at King's College India are grouped into four different houses. The four houses are named after castles in the UK, namely:
Castles Colour
• Windsor Purple• Sherborne Yellow • Pembroke Green• Pendragon Red
House system
Regulations and General Information(Alphabetical listing)
Parents should always call the ofce, rst thing in the morning, if it is not possible to inform the school sooner than the day of the absence. A note should be provided and given to the student on his or her return to school, to be handed into the ofce.
A student who is absent from school is assumed to be skipping school if no phone call.
Absence
After school
Students are expected to leave the school grounds at the end of the school day unless they are enrolled in a school sanctioned activity such as sports, music, club or similar teacher-led activity.
Assemblies
Regular assemblies are held and are considered an essential part of school community building. They are used for important announcements, celebrations of success and provide opportunities for students to demonstrate leadership skills. Each Homeroom Group with guidance from the Homeroom tutor, is responsible for a theme and a presentation.
Athletics
Competitive sport is encouraged at KCI and students will compete with other International Schools teams.
It is important to remember that while playing for KCI, students are subject to the KCI code of conduct and are expected to represent KCI in a good light.
25
Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT)
King's College India recognizes the benets of technology in school and a policy for this new initiative will be published in due course.
Care of school property
In order to maintain an environment we can all be proud of, it is necessary that we all take responsibility for our surroundings. Students found to be damaging, destroying or defacing school property can expect severe disciplinary action and will need to pay for any ensuing expenses.
Canteen
KCI has its own canteen currently offering a local diet, however, KSI will be introducing more International food options in the near future.
As with other areas of school life, students should behave respectfully in the canteen and leave it in a clean and tidy condition.
Change of address
It is very important that the school maintains up to date details and it is the responsibility of the parent/student to inform the school of any change in address or home telephone numbers. The school will not be responsible if parents/students fail to receive notication of events and other important information / documentation if it has not been duly informed of such changes. The above also applies if a student is living with a designated Guardian.
Classroom Safety and Conduct.
Safety in the classroom is extremely important and the teacher holds this as a priority. Students must therefore follow all instructions given by the teacher, and follow the specic guidelines and rules when in specialist area rooms such as the Science Laboratories.
The following is a list of expectations for students:
• Be punctual.• Wait outside the classroom until your teacher arrives.• Sit properly at the desks.• Ask permission if you wish to leave your seat or classroom.• Always pay attention and show respect to your teachers.• If you cannot attend a class, as a courtesy, you should always inform your teacher BEFORE the class.• Move from classroom to classroom in an orderly manner. Stick to the LEFT when using the stairs.• Keep your classroom clean.• Do not leave books in classrooms.• Bring the right materials / books to class.• No food or drink in the classroom (a bottle of water is permitted).• No footballs, tennis balls, Frisbees or other play / sports equipment should be brought into class.• No electrical appliances.• No electronic games, power extensions.• Do NOT charge mobile telephones or other electrical devices in classrooms.
26
For reasons of safety and security, students are required to be on campus throughout the school day. Students may only leave the school grounds if a request has been made by the parent (which should be in writing and delivered to the Headmaster's ofce before classes commence on the day of the absence – although the earlier the notice, the better). On such occasions, the student will need a signed permission slip from the Headmaster's ofce and the Academic Ofcer will inform the teachers of that student of the absence.
Please see APPENDIX 1 for sample forms
Closed Campus
There are regular activity sessions scheduled and reects the importance KCI puts on extra-curricular programmes. The activities will vary from year to year depending on the interests of the teachers who run the activities and student take-up. These activities are free, however, any further activities that take place after school hours, once approved by the Headmaster, may incur a charge.

Discipline
At KCI, discipline is considered an important process in helping a student understand what it means to take responsibility for one's actions.

Money
Students should not bring large amounts of money to school. If lost, it will be very difcult, if not impossible, to recover and the school cannot take responsibility for this.
If a student is bringing money to school for a payment, he / she should go straight to the school ofce to hand the money in on arrival at school. A receipt will be given and if necessary a late slip for class will be provided. In some instances, money will be collected by the homeroom teachers for whole school or class events.

If a student arrives late to school, he/she must rst obtain a late slip from the School ofce. A teacher will not permit a student to enter class late without one of these slips. Frequent occurrences of arriving late to school without a valid reason will result in the school contacting parents to identify and remedy the problem.

All students are members on joining KCI and any student may put himself or herself forward to become an active member (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Social Secretary). Nominations are put to the vote and those voted hold the position for one academic year.
The student council is the student voice and is a vehicle whereby students can bring ideas, suggestions and recommendations to the school administration.
