FAQ

Please note a few key pieces of information and tips for sign-up:

Sign up is not on a first-come first-served basis – you have a few days to complete your choices. The number of clubs that your child is allocated will depend how many clubs are running and the amount of people that sign up.
The allocation is done by the computer.
Our commitment is to make sure that every child has the opportunity to be enrolled onto one activity per year. We try to enable every child to have one activity per term however this is not always possible. If you sign-up to 4 clubs that have many places and are not oversubscribed, you may be allocated all 4. If you sign-up to 4 clubs that are all very popular and have limited places available, then you may only be allocated 1 of these.
Please sign up via the Parent Portal. The Parent Portal works best using Chrome as your browser.
If you cannot log-on or do not have your log-on details, please email portal@britishschoolmuscat.com
If you are having trouble signing-up please email the full name & year group of your child along with the choices you would like to enrichment@britishschoolmuscat.com before sign up closes.
Once sign-up has closed we will only be able to put you on a waiting list for activities.

You will receive notification of successful allocations to clubs by email in the week following sign up.

Please note – If you do not receive a confirmation email about a club, this means that it was over-subscribed and unfortunately your child was not able to be allocated to that particular choice of club.

Please email enrichment@britishschoolmuscat.com if you have any questions.

How can I see which ECA's my child has been allocated?

After sign up has taken place, and once activities have been allocated, you will be notified by email. Once you have have received the email you will also be able to view the activities your child has been allocated on the Parent Portal. Click on the Activities tab, then Activities Review in the drop down.

Collection after ECAs

Please collect your children from the following locations after ECAs:

KS1 (Year 1 & 2): ECAs finish at 2:30pm. All KS1 students should be collected from the Top Car Park at the end of their activity.
KS2 (Years 3 - 6): ECAs finish at 3:15pm or 4:15pm. Collection from the Bottom Car Park. (If there is a younger sibling in Oryx they will also be taken to the Bottom Car Park for the 3:15 and 4:15pm pick up slots).
Senior School: Students should be collected from the TOP car park (unless they have younger siblings in the primary school finishing at the same time, in which case they may join them in their pick up location). Students may also walk home.

If there is a different collection arrangement for your child, please contact the Primary or Senior School Office so they can inform the teachers.

My child's ECA doesn't start until 3:15pm

Students should never be left unattended on the school site. If your child’s ECA begins at 3:15pm and you would like them to remain at school after the end of the school day, they must attend one of our Oryx Clubs until their ECA starts.

Oryx Club

Primary School Oryx Club

The Primary Oryx Club runs after school to provide supervised care outside the normal school hours. Please email oryxclub@britishschoolmuscat.com or contact the Primary Office for further information. There is a charge for this service.

Senior School Oryx Club - Senior School Library (free)

Our Senior Oryx Club is open from 2:15 - 3:15pm in the Senior School library each school day that ECAs are running, ideal if your child has an activity or tuition starting at 3:15pm. During this session, your child will be able to complete their classwork or finish their homework under supervision in the Senior School Library. There is no charge for this.

New Students

If your child joins the school after sign up for activities has taken place, and you would like them to join an activity, please email enrichment@britishschoolmuscat.com.
