This handbook has been prepared to provide you with an overview of the school’s policies, rules, and regulations governing all families of Loydence Academy, especially in relation to COVID-19 safety. It is intended to familiarise you with important information about the school, as well as provide guidelines for your experience with us in an effort to offer a safe, healthy, and happy learning environment for the children.
Details within this handbook are subject to change at any time. The school will attempt to inform parents of changes as soon as possible when they are made, though this may not always be possible.
Communicating with us
Our preferred method of communication is via Class Dojo messages and parents are expected to download the application and connect to their children’s classes at the start of the academic year. We also communicate through email (info@loydenceacademy.com), telephone (+974 44918114) and via hardcopy letter. If a matter requires private discussion, an appointment should be made in advance to ensure adequate time and privacy. Entry to the school building will not be permitted without an appointment.
Loydence Academy maintains an Open Door Policy, whereby all children, visitors and parents have access to the teachers and Senior Leadership Team (SLT). In order to ensure the smooth running of the school, parents are expected to alert their class teacher or the SLT with any matter of concern via email, Dojo message or phone call. Children will use Google Classroom as part of their learning, which is linked to the email address provided by the school when they joined. They will receive assignments, feedback and can ask their teachers questions from here. It is expected that the children have the facility to log on to this online platform and we ask parents to support their child where necessary.
Face to face meetings are available by appointment only. It is an expectation for parents to download and use the Class Dojo application to communicate with school (https://www.classdojo.com/download/) and to ensure children can access their online Google Classroom (classroom.google.com).

The SHANARRI wheel works in conjunction with our school values:
Children are required to wear the following uniform to school. It can be bought from our main office. While we normally have all sizes available, in the event we run out of some items, you are free to buy alternatives from other shops. We ask that the children don’t wear large brand logos.
The children should bring a backpack to school each day containing their plastic wallets, pencil cases and school books as supplied by the school. They should also bring enough water and wear a face mask. Please note that bags on wheels are not allowed as they are a trip hazard and are dangerous.
