WELCOME FROM THE HEADS Dear Parents, Your support and involvement in your children’s education is a crucial element of their development and we encourage you to communicate regularly with us, as we will with you. This handbook will introduce you to school life, structure, policies and procedures. The first section includes information that is common to all three schools within the College, while the second section is specific to Early Years. We recommend that you read it carefully before your child starts school, and keep it on hand for future reference. A great deal of attention in schools always focuses on the achievements and successes of older children, and yet it is in the early years where the foundations are laid. Educational systems around the world are now increasingly aware of the crucial importance of this stage of a child’s education. We acknowledge the importance of this stage in Early Years by planning our curriculum to meet the standards of the English Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (EYFS) for children aged 1 to 5 years and the National Curriculum for children aged 5 to 7 years. This system has developed over the years to offer best practice and within this we ensure that our children are learning within the Chinese context. As our students progress from the Early Years through to the Junior School and into the Senior School, we emphasise the four core areas: academic excellence; commitment to sport; the provision of a wide range of opportunities in the arts and contribution to the community. We expect our children to become independent learners and problem solvers. The foundations of this are in our Early Years curriculum as children gain these skills through active learning. You will see your child grow in confidence and in ability in an environment where they feel respected and can grow to respect others. Welcome to our school and to our community. David Mansfield, Headmaster Sarah Humphreys, Head of Early Years

Parent Portal As of the start of the new term, all communication and information from the College will be uploaded to the parent portal on the College website. All announcements, letters and resources that would previously have been emailed to parents, will now be uploaded to and stored on the portal. They will remain accessible throughout the academic year should parents wish to look through it. A button on the College main website will enable access to the parent portal. After clicking on the link to the portal, parents will be prompted to log in with a unique username and password. The primary or key contact email address parents provided to the College will be their initial user name, and the password will be Dulwich123. After logging in, parents will have the option to change the password. The College will continue to send out weekly newsletters to all subscribers, and it will now contain links to the parent portal to access further information. WeChat Parents are encouraged to join the College's official WeChat account for more information on upcoming events and recent news. Parents can subscribe to it by scanning the QR code below or adding ‘DulwichCollegeBeijing’ to ‘Friends’. WeChat is a mobile communication service app which is available on Android, iPhone and Windows Phones. Parents may contact the Admissions or Marketing and Communications team if they need support with installing the application.
School Calendar The School Events Calendar is a live, online calendar that can be accessed via parent portal. The online calendar allows users to select only the event categories relevant to them. As the events calendar is subject to change and additions, we ask that parents consult the online calendar throughout the year.
Student Conduct At Dulwich College Beijing we encourage positive behaviour and in 2014-15 we undertook a comprehensive review of our behaviour policies. While the principles behind our policies are consistent, the application of those policies varies from school to school to ensure that the rewards and sanctions are age appropriate. Please read our Encouraging Positive Behaviour and Anti-bullying Policies in their entirety on our parent portal.
GENERAL INFORMATION – WHOLE COLLEGE Bicycles Children riding their bicycles to school are asked to park them in the designated areas. We ask that you review traffic safety with your child repeatedly throughout the school year, but especially at the start of each new school year. Helmets are required for all students riding bicycles to and from school. Children are advised to lock their bicycles at all times.
Bus Service The school provides a bus service that is contracted through a local bus company. School bus routes and stops are determined based on the requirements of those using the service, and may vary from year to year. We make every effort to meet the needs of our students. However, Beijing is a large city and we may not be able to accommodate children living in residential complexes far from the school and outside regular school bus routes. Seats are assigned on a first-come firstserved basis. If you move during the course of the year, we will do our best to accommodate your needs but cannot guarantee a seat for your child on the bus route serving your new residence. Bus information is available from our bus coordinator, Cecilia Yang at cecilia.yang@dulwichbeijing.cn Safety of the children on the bus is of paramount importance to us. To this end, all our buses are equipped with seat belts, mobile phones, emergency phone numbers and first aid kits. A bus monitor travels on each bus to ensure that the children remain in their seats with their seat belts fastened. If a bus is significantly delayed, the bus driver will notify the school office and the school office will notify parents. Traffic in Beijing is unpredictable at best, and tie-ups and gridlock are common events. We ask for your understanding and patience should your child’s bus be delayed in traffic. Students are expected to observe the same standard of behaviour on the bus as in the classroom. They are expected to respect the bus driver and monitor, and to observe the following rules, which are posted in each bus: • • • • • • • •
Remain seated with your seat belt fastened at all times. Respect your classmates and your bus monitor. Keep your voice down. Keep your head and hands inside the bus at all times. Keep your feet on the floor and off the seats. Leave chewing gum, sweets and candies at home. Eat your snack before boarding the bus or after you get home. Tell your bus monitor immediately if you feel sick.
Please note that neither eating nor drinking is allowed on the bus. Inappropriate behaviour by any student on the bus is unacceptable and if repeated will result in the denial of bus service with no fee refund.
Earthquake, Fire and Lockdown Drills Earthquake, Fire and Lockdown Drill Plans are in place. These are posted on the walls in classrooms and around the school. Drills are held during the year to allow students and staff to practise and become familiar with the evacuation procedures. If you are on the school premises during an evacuation, please follow the evacuation procedures.
Emergency Communication Should exceptionally severe weather or other unforeseen circumstances make it unsafe for the children to attend classes, information will be posted on the website and parents will be notified by SMS and email.

Friends of Dulwich Dulwich is very much a community school and involvement of parents is an integral part of our school life. All parents of Dulwich students are members of Friends of Dulwich and are encouraged to become actively involved. Friends hold an open meeting every month with the Headmaster and the Director of Marketing and Communications to discuss events within the school, fundraising projects and school developments. Friends also invite interested parents to become involved in various committees and to support class activities and events. Friends is run by the Friends Executive Committee, consisting of a Chairperson, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Campus Representatives, Charity Representatives, a Coffee & Books Representative, a Friends Shop Representative, School Representatives and additional representatives. Friends activities include the Friends Newsletter, Connections Lunches, Culture Club Excursions, the annual Dulwich Dinner Dance, the International Food Festival at Founder’s Day, the Friends School Shop and Coffee & Books Coffee Shop.
Lunches The Lakeview Café and the Lakeside Café at Legend Garden offer tasty, nutritional food to students. The catering company, Chartwells, runs the café and students in Junior and Senior School may purchase meals using a photo ID lunch card. Students should keep their cards over the summer break. Cards for new students will be available during the Orientation Week just before the start of school. Students who do not wish to purchase the school lunch are welcome to bring their own cold meal. Parents are responsible for sending in a bag lunch for a child who either does not eat or is allergic to foods on the menu. All Dulwich lunches are nut-free so if you send a bag lunch, please do not send any nut or nut products with your child. In addition, we ask that you not include sweets, candies or sodas. If your child has a food allergy, it is essential that you note this clearly on the school Health / Medical form and provide a doctor’s letter describing the allergy, severity, typical reaction and treatment. Please also indicate any food restrictions, religious or otherwise.
Medical Policy The school places exceptional importance on the health of our school children, and it is the responsibility of all members of the school community, parents and teachers alike, to keep the children healthy. If we find that a child has an illness or condition that will affect the health of his or her classmates, we will notify the parents to take the child home from school immediately. The following Medical Policy must be strictly observed: • Children must not be sent to school if they have any signs of fever or sickness. A student must be free of fever for 24 hours before returning to school. • For the sake of everyone’s health, children with heavy coughs or runny noses must not be sent to school even if they are not feverish. • Children who have been ill should be kept at home until they are able to fully participate in all school activities. Weather permitting, all children will go outside during playtime, and children recovering from illness will not be kept indoors. Children who are too sick to play outside are not well enough to be in school and in contact with the other children. • Children must not be sent to school if they have any signs of conjunctivitis, as it is highly contagious. They may only return to school after the full course of treatment has been completed and their eyes are completely clear. • Children requiring medication for an illness should remain at home until the illness is cured. When they are essentially well but must continue with a day or two of treatment they may be sent to school. In this case, a Medicine Administration Form must be completed and given to the Teacher or Form Tutor along with the medicine to be given. Please let us know if your child is taking homeopathic medicines as well. • Children must not be sent to school if they are ill with chicken pox, and they may not return to school until the sores have healed and scabs have fallen off. • You must notify the school immediately if your child has head lice. Children with head lice will be sent home and must be treated with proper medicated shampoo. They must be
13

completely free of both lice and eggs before returning to school. • In case of injury requiring medical treatment, the child's parents will be informed immediately and he/she will be taken to the nearest international medical facility. • Please be sure to keep vaccinations up to date. • All children entering the school are expected to have medical insurance coverage. Fees for a student's medical treatment are to be paid by the parent. The school will not assume medical expenses.
Parking and Pick-up and Drop-off Every year, just before the start of school, we send all families a letter outlining the pick-up and drop-off procedures as these may change from time to time. Procedures in 2015 -16 will not change from the end of 2014 - 15. Due to the large number of children being dropped off and collected, we ask that you and your driver comply with the guards’ instructions and observe extreme caution when driving near school.
Security There is no issue the school takes more seriously than the safety of our students. At each campus we employ guards who are responsible for ensuring that unauthorised personnel do not enter the school and that students do not leave on their own initiative. We have instituted a number of procedures to ensure the journey to and from school each day is equally safe, and we require your assistance to make these procedures effective. All parents are encouraged to obtain a parent ID card. Receptionists at all campuses may assist with these arrangements.
Sports Centre Located on the Legend Garden Campus, the Dulwich Legend Sports Centre provides students, parents and the community with access to a wide range of sports facilities and equipment. The club offers a 25-metre swimming pool, a sports hall, two multi-purpose sports domes, tennis courts, a dance/aerobics studio and a variety of resistance and cardiovascular training equipment. The club’s operating hours are 6:00 am to 10:00 pm on weekdays and 8:00 am to 9:00 pm on weekends. When school is in session, only Dulwich students may use the swimming pool, sports hall and sports domes. Dulwich students receive free access to all of the club’s facilities. Contact the Sports Centre reception desk at 6454-9150 for more information or to set up a tour of the club.
Sun Safety We ask that students wear sun hats that are part of the school uniform and either bring sunscreen to be applied at school or apply it at home before coming to school during hot weather. During very hot weather, we may limit outdoor time. Water is available on the playground during the hot months. Children should bring water bottles to school marked with their names, as we discourage the use of paper cups.

GENERAL INFORMATION – EARLY YEARS Arrival and Departure Times It is expected that all children in the Early Years are accompanied to and from school by an adult. Teachers cannot be responsible for your child before 8:20 am each morning, and we ask you not to bring your child into school before that time. Teachers need this time to prepare for your child’s day or attend meetings. At the end of the day you are also expected to arrange for them to be picked up promptly at the end of the school session as teachers also need this time to prepare, attend training and meet colleagues.
Foundation Stage School is in session Monday through Friday, except for holidays, as follows: Toddler Class 1: Toddler Class 2: Nursery: Reception:
8:30 am to 11:00 am 8:30 am to 11:30 am 8:30 am to 3:30 pm 8:30 am to 3:30 pm
Toddler, Nursery and Reception children at the Legend Campus have a “soft start” to the day and may arrive up to 8:40 am. These children may also leave between 3:15 pm and 3:30 pm if parents wish to avoid traffic at the Legend campus.
Key Stage 1 School is in session Monday to Friday, except for holidays, as follows: Year 1 and 2: 8:30 am to 3:30 pm Children begin their day promptly at 8:30 am. In the interest of your child, we ask that you please be punctual. Children arriving late, particularly after 9:00 am, miss a very important part of their day. The KS1 programme ends at 3:30 pm.
Arrival and Collection: Security Issues Collection at Bus Stop It is essential that we have a clear and accurate record of who is authorised to collect your child at school and at the school bus stop. Therefore, we ask that you complete in full the “Student Pickup Authorisation Form" you have received and send in the photographs required. We will not release a child to the custody of anyone not identified on the form unless we have received formal written notification from the child’s parent.
Collection during School Day Children leaving the school during the school day are required to be signed out in the book at Reception. Children in the Early Years must be accompanied by an approved parent or carer and be signed out by that adult. There is an early dismissal form that needs to be filled in and shown to the guards to ensure you leave the premises with permission.
Collection at School If your child will be collected at school, please introduce the authorised adults to your child’s teacher during the first week of school. It is imperative that you inform both the School Office and classroom teachers if you have a change of domestic staff, e.g., a new ayi or driver who will be collecting your child.
Further Considerations In addition, we ask that you observe the following: • When dropping off your children, please deliver them to the custody of a teacher in the classroom. If we do not know your child has arrived at school, we cannot ensure his/her wellbeing. • We ask parents to walk out together with their children. This enables the door monitor to confirm that your child is leaving under your supervision. If you are picking up a group of children, please make sure they leave the school with you in an orderly fashion and confirm to the door monitor that you are responsible for those children. • If your child is to be picked up for a play date, you must provide written notice to your child's teacher. • If anyone other than those noted on the Student Pick-up Authorisation Form will collect your child at school or the school bus stop, you must notify the School Office in writing and advise some method by which we can identify that person. • Wear your parent security tag at all times on the campus. • All visitors to the school are required to sign in at the school door.
Attendance Due to the international nature of our community, some absences from school are unavoidable. However, regular school attendance is expected, as frequent absences may prevent a child from fulfilling academic expectations. If a student is absent for more than twenty days during an academic year, we cannot guarantee that he or she will complete the curriculum and advance to the next year level. If your child is going to be absent (voluntarily) for an extended period you will need to seek permission from the Head of Early Years. Please ensure that your child arrives at school on time. Repeated lateness is unacceptable and teachers cannot be expected to repeat lessons if students are continually late. If your child will be absent from school due to illness or extended leave, please be sure to inform the teacher and the School Office.

Campuses We are situated on three campuses, two at Beijing Riviera and one at the Legend Garden Main Campus. Our Riviera campuses are located in the Beijing Riviera housing complex and house spacious classrooms, a library, a music room, an art room, an outdoor area, a kitchen and a multi-purpose room. At the main Legend Garden campus, Early Years has classrooms, a multipurpose room, a large library shared with the Junior School, and a generous outdoor space.
Parking at Riviera Campuses Safety is our foremost concern. Due to the large number of children being dropped off and collected, we ask that you and/or your driver observe extreme caution when driving in the vicinity of the school buildings. Please do not park in front of the school entrance. This area must be left clear for the school buses to ensure the safety of the children disembarking and boarding. In addition, please park on the proper side of the road so your child does not cross traffic to reach the school. At Riviera Main Campus there is a clear Parking/drop off set of procedures that we respectfully ask you to adhere too.
Pets at School Occasionally teachers may request that pets be brought to school to enhance learning. If the teacher has not contacted you directly to make an arrangement, then please do not send pets into school with your children. Dogs must be on a leash at all times whilst on the school premises and should not be in the school building during the school day. Please leave your dog tethered outside the school in the designated areas, particularly at the beginning and end of school when the entrance is busy and your dog may be upset by the crowds or noise. Dogs should not be brought to the athletic fields. We are happy to promote good pet owning skills and would ask that if your dog should make a mess that you clean it up. We are aware of the benefit of a pet in the family but we also have the health and safety of all of our students in mind at all times.
Uniform Appearance Toddlers do not wear uniform to school. All other students at Dulwich College Beijing must wear the school uniform. This is different for warm and cold weather, and students must adhere to seasonal requirements. Our students are ambassadors for this school, and their dress and behaviour convey an impression to the public of what we are like as a school. School uniform must be worn correctly at all times on buses, in school and when on a school trip (unless special permission has been given). Seasons A - Start of school in August - October mid-term holiday: Summer Uniform B - October Holiday - April holiday: Winter Uniform C - April Holiday - Summer holiday: Summer Uniform (These dates are a guide, subject to weather conditions.)

EARLY YEARS CURRICULUM AND REPORTS Curriculum and Ethos At Dulwich College we aim for our children in the Early Years to develop confidence in all areas of their development and create an environment where children, parents and teachers are actively involved in school life. To achieve this we have: • A clearly defined set of objectives and values reflected in school policies, the curriculum, school practice and behaviour; • Strong support for all children; • A safe and nurturing environment for all children; • Opportunities for children to develop independence; • A strong staff continued professional development programme; • A practise of regular communication between the school, teachers and parents and between the community and the school. A full description of the Early Years curriculum can be found in the Foundation Stage and Key Stage One Curriculum Guides.
Progress Reports and Parent-Teacher Conferences Progress Reports are a summary of your child's development and accomplishments during the school year. Formal written reports will be issued at the end of first and third terms. Parent conferences occur each term and these include opportunities to meet with Mandarin teachers in Key Stage One. Your child’s learning journal forms an important part of the conference in the Spring Term, where your child’s learning is shared with you and your child. Parents are always welcome to come and discuss their children’s progress with teachers and members of the School Leadership Team. Please see the Curriculum Guides on the parent portal for further detail.
