International School

Academic Plan2019 / 2020

CommunicationHow do we communicate with parents?

Nefertari British International School believes that one of the fundamental parts of the educational process is that parents should be aware

of everything about their son/daughter in school. Therefore, we will be communicating with parents via e-mail. Thus, you need to have aproper e-mail address to check on daily basis. Furthermore, we will send everything about your son/daughter via this e-mail (i.e. educationallevel, behavior, in-school incidents, grades,announcements, exams schedules and instructions……..etc).

If you don’t receive e-mails from us, then you need to contact the school administration and register your correct e-mail.

Important to Know

① Schedules

A- Subject Selection FormEvery year, students have to fill in an online Subject Selection Form. This form is requested by the British Council. In this form, the students specify the subjects to be taken in the following year. This is organized as follows.B- Schedules are organized according to teacher’s timing.C- Classes are organized and arranged according to the subject selection.

Please note that no changes in the subject selection or the class under any circumstances.

② First Day Of School ,

September 2019 is school’s first day, students are requested to be in school at 08:00 AMProgram is as following:

▪ Parents shall bring their child in the morning and they will go back home by bus.▪ Entrance gate ( IGCSE Gate)▪ Students will be trained for their morning line▪ Students will be escorted to school’s theatre for an orientation ( First Year Presentation)▪ Schedules will be distributed.▪ Books, notes & past papers will be distributed.▪ School’s calendar ( School’s holidays, examinations …….etc, will be sent by E-mail)

③ Registration

It’s the process of registering your subjects at Cambridge International Examinations Board or EdexcelInternational Examinations Board, procedures are as following

▪ You will be informed by e-mail when registration session is opened ( deadline & fees)▪ Registration date starts in December ( Exact date will be announced )▪ Parents shall come to school to register their child’s subjects ▪ Copy of passport is required in order to have the exact name on the certificate as the in the passport▪ Missing the deadline results in entering LATE ENTRY STAGE with higher fees.▪ Missing the registration session means that your son/daughter is not registered and accordingly no exams

④Statement of EntryThe Statement of Entry is your exam identification (ID). You can not enter the exam session without the Statement of Entry as it shows your subjects, examination dates and a recent photo of yours.

After registration students will be asked to checkTheir data ( Full Name, Date Of Birth & the registered subjects) in order to make the necessaryAmendments before registration session is closed.

Names on the certificates must be exactly as in the passport that’s why we asked for a copy.

③ Access Arrangement

If you have any medical problem which will affect your exams, you have to inform the school administration with an official prescription from the hospital and, accordingly, school will contact the British Council and inform you with the feedback.

④ Remarking

If you are suspecting errors in marking your exam papers, you have the opportunity to clear your doubts through remarking. Remarking gives you the chance to recheck and review your exam papers, even if you want to have a copy of your script. Fees and deadlines are to be announced by school administration.

⑤ Splitting

As previously explained, A-Level subject are comprised up of AS-Level and A2-Level subjects. However, there is no qualification awarded for A2-Level on its own.

The qualification is awarded for the whole A-Level subject.

How splitting is beneficial?

Splitting gives you the chance to introduce to your university

2 separate certificates AS-Level and A-Level — instead of one A level certificate.

For example, if you got a better grade in the AS-Level than in the A-Level, splitting will be useful because you can present the better grade only.

Fees and deadlines will be announced by school administration.

⑥ Examinations

As of June 2014 NBIS and its secondary school building was assigned by the British Council in Egypt to be a closed venue for all British qualifications examinations held and organized by the British council. Being an exam venue is a huge responsibility of the school staff members and administration. It simply means that NBIS is now capable to host International British Qualification exams in house, due to its up to standards facilities and staff members. It requires full corporation, commitment, devotion and precision work from all parties involved.
