The School Year

It runs from January to December; and the academic year during which the students are in residence and attend classes, extends normally from March to November.

 
Admission
i.

The official Application Form, attached with the Prospectus, must be completed and registered by paying the Registration Fee, which is not refundable. However, registration does not guarantee a seat reservation.

Admissions, where vacancies exist, are made on the basis of an entrance examination/interview. Those children who are registered will be notified of the date of the examination. After examining the child, the Principal reserves the right to admit the child into the class deemed suitable for him/her.

Preference in admission is given to boarders who qualify.

Registration may be closed at any time at the discretion of the Principal. Normally the last date for registration for day scholars is 15 September and for boarders 30 September.

ii.

Age Requirements

A student should complete the age indicated below against the class, preferably by the commencement of the academic year.
New admissions are not made to Classes 10 and 12.

Class 1 6 years Class 7 12 Years
 
Class 2 7 Years Class 8 13 Years

Class 4 9 Years Class 10 15 Years
 
Class 5 10 Years Class 11 16 Years

iii.

Parents / Guardians concerned shall be informed when a child is selected for admission. However, the offer shall be treated as confirmed only if the fees and security deposit have been paid within the stipulated time.

iv.

If a child does not join the school at the stipulated time after admission has been confirmed, full school fees for the year will be charged.

v.

For a child who has been to school previously and is attending this school for the first time, a Transfer Certificate from the previous School must be furnished before joining School. For those coming from outside Uttranchal, the Transfer Certificate must be countersigned by the appropriate education authority of the State concerned. Since no change can be made in the age once it is entered in the Admission Register, a certified copy of the Birth Certificate is also to be submitted in each case.

The date of birth once entered in the Admission Register will NOT be altered under any circumstances. On withdrawal, a Transfer Certificate will be issued if due notice has been given and all fees have been paid according to the school rules.

vi.

The Principal reserves the right to accept or reject any application for admission without assigning any reason.

vii.

Admission to Wynberg-Allen School is a privilege and not a right.

viii.

Recommendations for admission from any source will disqualify a prospective candidate. Parents are, therefore, advised to approach the Principal's Office personally for admission and not through any other person or persons.

Payments Of Fees

i. it is expected that the total fees for the year be fully paid in advance at the time of admission/ begining of the School Year. Students for whom fees have not been paid in full will not be permitted to join the school or continue on the rolls of the School.
ii. The Final Bill/ Statement of Account will be sent in December each year.
iii. All payments must be made by the due date specified from time to time. Anyone not clearing arrears within the stipulated time will be required to pay a surcharge of 10% of the bill applicable. No application for remission of the surcharge will be considered.
iv. Names of children whose fees are in arrears will be struck off the rolls and transfer certificated will not be issued until all outstanding amounts are cleared. Children for whom fees have not been paid up-to-date may be prevented from taking school or public examinations.
v. If for any reason a bill is not received by parents, it will not be accepted as reason for withholding payment of fees. Fees can always be sent pending receipt of the bill. In the same way any dispute with regard to a bill sent will not be held as sufficient ground to excuse the withholding of the regular dues. The exact amount of a bill should be paid in every case.
vi. Pupils for whom places have been reserved but who return or join after the notified day of opening or who return late after exeats will in no case be entitled to remission of fees. Further, a late fee as applicable will be imposed per day. Joining School late results in general hindrance to the work and discipline of the school.
vii.

 

a. Full fees will be charged to students who are withdrawn during the school year. No remission in fees will be made for a child withdrawn during the course of a year or who is absent with or without permission for any reason.

  b. Notice of withdrawal of a child which is to take effect at the end of the school year must be received by November 15 of that year. Failure to comply with this rule will entail a liability in payment of fees in lieu of notice which will be equivalent to the Security Deposit applicable. Since places vacated during the school year mean a financial loss, this rule will be strictly enforced in all cases.
  c. In case the child is withdrawn during the year, the final settlement of account including the Security Deposit will only be made one month after withdrawal of the child from the school, except in the case of students who have appeared for Board Examinations where the account will be closed one month after the results have been declared.
viii.

Cost of replacement will be charged for breakages, damages and losses.

ix.

All payments must be made by cash or Bank Draft drawn in favour of the Principal, Wynberg Allen School, Mussoorie, payable in Mussoorie. No responsibility is accepted for drafts sent in children's letters. In a covering letter, the parents must always quote the child's Account Number. Cheques in no case will be entertained.

x. The fees payable are subject to change from time to time. Parents will, however, be informed of any change in fees.

After the security deposit has been refunded, if the cheque is not encashed within six months, no claim will be entertained thereafter.

Medical

i.

All boarders will be given  health care available in Mussoorie or Dehra Dun, and expenses, including any transport expenses, will be billed to parents.

ii.

School Infirmaries : We have infirmaries in both Junior and Senior Schools which are looked after by qualified nursing sisters. The School Doctor visits the School on a regular basis during the week and is also available whenever required.

iii. Medical Matters:
a. A medical certificate MUST be submitted by every pupil joining or rejoining School. The examination of a pupil by competent medical practioners must be carried out not earlier than one week before joining School.
b. Children suffering from any form of infectious or contagious diseases, or having been in contact with such, cannot be permitted to join the School, unless it is certified in writing by a competent medical officer that the prescribed period of quarantine has been completed.
c. Children must have their teeth and eyes examined and attended to before joining School. Defects in either may cause serious detriment to health and will certainly hinder work.
d. Every child not bringing on admission or rejoining a recent medical certificate will receive the required medical examination on arrival at School, without awaiting the permission of parents.

Change of Status

Once a child is admitted as a boarder, he/she will not be permitted to be a day scholar under any circumstances.

Travelling

At the opening and closing of school, arrangements will not be made for escorted parties by the School. The School does not hold itself responsible in any way for the children and luggage of those traveling privately. It is the responsibility of the parents / guardians to make their own travel arrangements.

Uniform

All children will be supplied with uniform according to the official clothing list. Dress regulations will be strictly enforced.

Parcels, Books, Letters & Pocket Money
Students are NOT permitted to receive parcels of food, extra clothes etc. To avoid disappointment , parents are advised not to send these. Children wishing to purchase snacks etc. may do so from the school tuck shops.

Any books or papers sent to children are subject to the approval of the Headmistress or Headmaster. Literature unfit for children will be confiscated.

Birthday Parties: Parents who wish their children to celebrate their birthdays in the School  should inform the Principal in writing at least one month in advance so that the necessary arrangements may be made well in time. On request, Rs. 500/- will be charged to the child's account for this purpose. Parents are requested not to leave cash with any child or staff member or with any other person.

Part of our responsibility is to teach the value of money. Parents are therefore requested not to give or send any extra money to their children, or to leave any money for them with any person. Children will be given pocket money at rates applicable from time to time.



Spiritual Policy

The Society, by foundation, tradition and endowment, is essentially spiritual in character. It is the Society's intention that in Wynberg and in Allen, all children of the Christian Community should, by worship and instruction, be led to a personal knowledge of Jesus Christ as Saviour and be built up in the Christian faith, witness and service. The same privileges may be availed of by other students, if they so choose.

The school work begins daily with prayer and with the reading of a portion of the Bible. On Sundays, Christian boarders attend a worship programme at the Union Church and all other boarders attend a worship programme at the school. The worship programme is an integral part of the school life.

 
Visiting School
   
i.

All parents and authorized guardians will first see the Principal when visiting the school. The only exception to this is during the regular visiting hours on Saturdays and Sundays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., as indicated in the School Calendar.

   
ii.

Parents are not permitted to visit their children outside of the visiting hours. For holidays, when children are permitted out on exeat, parents who wish to take their children out of school must submit their request for this in writing, so that it reaches the Principal at least seven days in advance.

   
Holidays & Visiting Arrangements
 

At the beginning of each year, a copy of the School Calendar is sent to the parents. This includes holidays and indicates when children are allowed out of School. For the efficient running of work, not only in the classroom but in all extra mural activities, children will not be allowed out except at recognised times. Parents will save embarrassment to the Principal and disappointment to themselves by not asking for exceptions to these recognised holidays. Leave to attend weddings and other functions at home is not normally granted. Children are also not permitted on exeat for every holiday but only where this is indicated in the School Calendar.

   
Important
   

i.

Official correspondence of all kind MUST be addressed directly to the Principal and not to other members of staff or sent in children's letters; otherwise attention is not guaranteed. Parents are not permitted to enter into correspondence with other members of staff.

 
ii.

Day scholars are admitted on the distinct understanding that they will take part in the same co-curricular activities as the boarders.

   
iii.

The Principal can, in the interests of the school and without assigning any reason, ask a parent to remove a girl / boy during the School Year or at the end of the current term, should the girl's / boy's conduct, behaviour or influence, in the Principal's opinion, be in any way detrimental to the principles of the School, or should she / he seem unable or unwilling to profit by the educational advantages the school offers.

   
iv.

The staff will at all times do their utmost for the education, physical well-being and spiritual, moral and cultural development of the children entrusted to them. In return, the school expects the total co-operation of parents in the letter and spirit of the Prospectus.

   
v.

The Principal is at liberty to alter, add to or repeal any regulation given in the Prospectus, without assigning any reason. However, the school shall inform parents / guardians of any such changes.
