Enrolment

Children can join SEC at any stage, from Nursery (ages 2–3) through to Year 9 (ages 13–14). We recommend early registration for all year groups to help with planning and availability. While we encourage students to start at the beginning of a term to support a smooth transition for the child, teacher, and class, we are happy to consider mid-term enrolments on a case-by-case basis. If you’re looking to enrol your child outside of term start dates, please get in touch — we’d be happy to assist. Please note that the minimum enrolment period is one full term (approximately three months).

2. Register Your Child

We warmly welcome parents and children to visit our school at any stage of the admissions process. If you'd like to take a tour before beginning the application, you're more than welcome. We encourage all families to book a tour to see our facilities first-hand, get a feel for the school environment, and ask any questions you may have. All we ask is that you schedule your visit in advance. Karibuni! To arrange a school tour, please send us a WhatsApp message

School Uniform

At SEC we ask that every student attending school wears our school uniform. Both primary & secondary students are required to wear a school polo, or linen shirt & navy bottoms.
Uniforms are available to order at our school office, please contact the office for more details.



Please note: prices shown are based on 2025-2026 academic year, subject to change.

School Lunches

Please note: SEC does not provide a catering service, as we do not have the kitchen facilities to accommodate or monitor in-house food preparation. We provide a morning fruit snack only. All students are expected to bring a packed lunch and a water bottle from home, or families may make their own alternative arrangements.



Some families choose to order meals from independent local providers known, who offers a cooked lunch option, delivered to school in time for the lunch break. Please be aware that SEC holds no responsibility for how these meals are prepared, the ingredients used, or the general standards of safety and hygiene.



Please check the school notice board for the most up-to-date list of options and menus.

Class Dojo

At SEC, we use ClassDojo to stay connected with our families. It’s a free and private app, used only within our school community, where you’ll find updates from your child’s teacher, messages from the school, and snapshots of what’s happening in the classroom. Our Headteacher also shares regular posts on the main school feed to keep everyone in the loop about upcoming events, general memos, important dates, and special moments worth celebrating.



Once a child is registered at SEC, families are added to our ClassDojo platform. Only currently enrolled families have access, ensuring that the space remains private, secure, and tailored to our school community.
