A Course Deferment refers to a student who delays or postpones the course (or subject) for reasons such as military service, long-term medical leave, compassionate grounds, or other valid reasons. It is typically not encouraged and is considered primarily under compassionate circumstances, with approval granted solely at the Principal's discretion. An acceptable, valid reason must be presented, and the course must remain active to ensure the student can complete all remaining subjects upon their return after the deferment period.
Parents are informed that Invictus considers requests from students for course deferment on a case by case basis. A deferment is taken as a withdrawal but keeping their applications on an inactive list. The student’s application on the management system is reactivated should the student decide to return to school within 12 months and if there is a vacancy for that grade level. The registration fee is waived and parent(s) need not go through the application process again.
As a policy, Course Deferment is generally not encouraged unless on compassionate grounds, and approval is granted at the sole discretion of the Principal. There must be a good reason deemed acceptable to Invictus, and the course must be ongoing such that by the time the student returns at the end of the deferment period, he is still able to study all the required subjects and successfully complete the course.Acceptable reasons may include:
● family members who are very sick or dying where the student’s presence at home is required
● traumatic family circumstances (e.g. death of a parent in an accident) where the family needs to be together to support each other
● sickness or poor health where the student needs to have an extended period of rest- Upon receiving a written deferment request from the parent or student, The M&A staff sends the Transfer/Deferment form to the parent for completion. If the student is under 18 years of age, the parent's or legal guardian's written consent is required.
- The Principal assesses all reason stated for deferment.
- Following the approval or rejection of the deferment request, the The M&A staff emails the outcome to the parent/student. They ensure the maximum processing time does not exceed 4 weeks from the receipt of the request to informing the parent/student of the decision.
- If a student decides to return within 12 months, subject to availability and the duration of absence, their application in the school record is reactivated. The student may be required to repeat a year to continue in the same course.
- Enrolment Fees are waived for deferred students, who do not need to undergo the application process again upon return.
- The M&A staff informs the Immigration and Checkpoint Authority (ICA) of any changes to the Student's Pass resulting from deferment.
Course Transfer Policy/Procedure

Parental/legal guardian consent is obtained for students under 18 years.

Student Attendance Policy
Attendance will be measured in every Tutor / HR (Homeroom) Teacher time registration first thing each day
and termly, therefore there will be 4 formal attendance checks each academic year. This check
will be carried out by the Head of Primary / Secondary. At each of these stages, students should
maintain 95% or higher. If a student drops below 95% then actions will be taken.
All parental requests for extended leave of absence (over 5 days) should be sent as normal to
the student’s tutor / HR Teacher; parental emails of this nature automatically imply ‘notified’
but does not imply ‘authorised’ and a ‘receipt’ email should be sent to parents explaining this.
The decision rests with the Head of Primary / Secondary on how this is recorded.
An extended leave of absence request will be dealt as mentioned earlier; however, if this is for
over 2 weeks the Principal must be involved in the discussion. They will review the absence
record and any legal requirements placed on attendance before replying to parents in writing
by email.
ATTENDANCE RECORD AND REPORT
- Tutors / HR Teachers are responsible for tracking attendance daily / weekly and engaging with parents as necessary to maintain 95% threshold
- Monthly / Termly report will be created for the Senior Leadership Team by Admissions, highlighting those students below 95% and those students for whom 90% attendance is a legal requirement. Heads of Primary / Secondary will, alongside Tutors / HR Teachers engage with parents (noting that there will already likely have been communication evidence from Tutors / HR Teachers)
- Report cards – Student report cards will indicate attendance for each term, or report card cycle.
- School Transcripts / Attendance records will report the total number of absences (in
days)
Assessment Results and Appeals Process
Assessment results are released to parents and students at the end of each semester.
Appeals must be submitted in writing within 48 hours of the results. Late appeals will not be
entertained.
The Principal is responsible for reviewing the results with the relevant academic staff and for recommending either for the marks to stand or a change of marks to the Examination Board. Invictus will respond to any appeals/concerns within 4 weeks of the release of results.
Parents may write into the school should they have concerns about the student's overall progress reports. The Principal, in consultation with teachers, will reply with any follow-up actions or support measures provided to students.
