Behaviour is expected to be courteous and school rules maintain a proper learning environment. The school recognises that bullying can take various forms and staff identify victims and bullies to provide suitable counselling. Students may discuss personal issues with any staff member, who will counsel or refer to a more suitable colleague in the student's best interests.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school is not a dedicated SEN school. It has a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator who coordinates limited provision to support pupils with mild SEN. The school does not offer 1:1 SEN support. The SENCO supports teachers and parents to identify additional learning needs and advises on diagnostic procedures.

For students with a confirmed diagnosis, test and exam access arrangements can be provided when in line with school policies and MOE expectations and external exam regulations.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The curriculum is delivered in English, with English as the language of instruction rather than Greek; Greek is taught as a language. A strong command of English is required to cope with the English-medium curriculum; ESL teaching is available for some students. English language proficiency is assessed before entry via reports, interviews, and entrance tests. The school uses an English-language curriculum for subjects, including offering IGCSEs and AS qualifications alongside the Apolytirion route.

Mental Wellbeing

Pastoral care is central to Logos School, with emphasis on all-round growth within a Christian ethos. Staff provide care, nurture, and mentorship to support students' well-being. Students who have personal issues can discuss them with staff, who will provide counsel or refer to appropriate support. The school fosters mental and emotional well-being as part of a safe learning environment. The school's approach is built on caring relationships and supportive guidance to help students grow confidently.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding and child protection are integrated with student welfare. The school recognises and addresses bullying, and staff identify victims and bullies and provide counselling. Incidents are investigated to protect students and uncover sources of problems. Students may discuss personal issues with staff who will counsel or refer as needed. For confidential matters, contact the Principal at Principal@Logos.ac.cy.

Admissions

Enquiries welcome. Logos School educates students from Pre-school age 4 through GCSEs, A-Levels, or Apolytirion. For a place on the waiting list, fill out the Enquiry Form on the SchoolBase platform. If a place is anticipated soon, an in-person meeting with the Principal is arranged to discuss the application, tour the school, and may include an informal interview with the prospective student and the Principal. Entrance examinations may be arranged depending on education history, age and English proficiency; GCSE/AS entry may require additional exams. A minimum level of English is required for older classes. For students joining mid-way, previous school reports may be requested and the school may contact the previous school to verify documents and confirm transfer. Places are offered based on availability and suitability; if places are not available, students are placed on a waiting list with priority given to siblings already in the school. To secure a place once offered, a non-refundable registration fee of €450 per student is payable; this fee is included in the total school fees and deducted from the yearly balance. Registration forms and documents required include the child's birth certificate, passports for both parents, the most recent school report, proof of address, custody documents if applicable, and a vaccination status certificate. Admissions into Pre-School are subject to a waiting list due to high demand; top candidates may be invited to an October open morning about 11 months before starting; a place may be offered after a 1-on-1 session and tour if available. To be offered a place in Pre-School, the child must communicate with parents in their native tongue (English is not required before starting), be toilet trained, and feed themselves; prior knowledge of English is not required, but some spoken English is advantageous, and the programme includes English phonics. Graduates receive the Apolytirion; students may sit IGCSEs, AS and A-Levels; Logos School is a registered Cambridge International Examinations and Edexcel Centre.

Scholarships

A limited number of means-tested bursaries are available on application; documentary evidence of circumstances is required for consideration. Sibling discounts exist: 10% for the second child, 15% for the third child, and 20% for the fourth child and beyond. A discretionary discount is available if annual fees for the next academic year are paid before the end of term (approximately by 20 June).

Waitlist

The school maintains a waiting list for admission; as a single-form entry school, places are limited for every class and there is a waiting list for almost every class; Pre-School is always full. The admissions team keeps in touch with enquirers, and the SchoolBase enquiry form is used to register interest.

Admissions

1. Enquiry and initial contact. TLC's Academic Registrar supports you from the first enquiry to admission. The school is fully licensed by the Ministry of Education and Culture, Cyprus, and the curriculum is based on the English system, with a focus on preparing students socially and emotionally as well as academically. Initial inquiries can be made through the Admissions Enquiry channel. 2. Interview with parents and students. An interview ensures mutual expectations are clear. The interview helps the school understand the child's needs and discuss potential entry arrangements. The date for any required evaluation is agreed with parents. 3. Evaluation of the student. The school identifies a child's needs before a discussion about an individual entry programme. Feedback with recommendations is provided soon after the evaluation. The process may determine a tailored entry plan or indicate that the student can join with standard provisions. 4. Admission decision and spaces. Students can be admitted at any stage in the year; offers can be conditional for reasons such as the need for a skills-building programme (for example in English), attainment levels not matching peers, no space in the year group (classes are limited to 20), or specific learning needs requiring third-party referral or additional resources. Most pupils join full-time with no additional requirements. 5. Fees and securing a place. Following approval, a registration fee and a deposit are payable to secure the place. The school will purchase resources and staff to meet the child's needs, and parents complete a fee agreement which is legally binding to pay the full fee for the year (or the remainder if joining after the start of the school year). Non-payment, unless agreed by the Directors, leads to suspension of the place; suspension does not suspend the obligation for fees during the suspension period. Late payments incur 5% interest one month after the agreed date. 6. Attendance and additional educational needs. Absences impact learning, and long-term illness should be discussed with the Principal to explore potential support. Attendance and progress are monitored to support students. If parents do not disclose a previously diagnosed education difficulty, the school may ask for removal if appropriate provision cannot be made.

Waitlist

Waiting list. Class sizes are limited to 20; if a year group is full, a waiting list may apply.
