Admission

One of the biggest challenges we face as a country is preparing our young people for the economy and society of the future. In an era that should offer all young people more opportunities than ever before, young people today also face more pressures. The journey into adulthood and a good career is much less certain than it used to be.
Mission Statement:
To create a caring, disciplined and academic environment where all students and staff can reach their potential, 
Aims:  

• To educate for life        
• To promote tolerance, justice and respect for all.

School Attendance and Absence:

We expect all students to be on time for all classes and must make sure your child gets a full-time education that meets their needs.  

Policy: 
GRS requires a student to give a dated note, from his/hers Parents/ Guardians, to the voice Principal to explain his/hers lateness and leave-ness. If a student is late in the morning on 3 occasions in a month then his/her parents/ guardians will be informed. GRS’s will ask for the parent’s cooperation in the matter.   If a student is late on 3 occasions in the same week his/hers Parents/Guardians will be asked to attend a meeting with the voice Principal to discuss the matter.  Students may be given extra written work and/or receive in-house suspension.   Lack of improvement regarding punctuality may result in suspension from school. 
⦁    When your child can miss school
You can only allow your child to miss school if either:
⦁    they’re too ill to go in
⦁    you’ve got advance permission from the school

⦁    Holidays in term time
You have to get permission from the Principal if you want to take your child out of school during term time.
You can only do this if:
⦁    you make an application to the head teacher in advance (as a parent the child normally lives with)
⦁    there are exceptional circumstances
It’s up to the Principal how many days your child can be away from school if leave is granted.
