Attendance on working days in Sharjah

Sharjah private schools answer to SPEA, not KHDA and not ADEK. Inspection language and document packs are emirate-specific even when a family just drove in from Dubai.

September intake. Fees in UAE Dirham. Indian and British curricula are large; SPEA compliance is the operational difference. Local named facts include SPEA, UAE Dirham, September intake, CBSE. Instrument: holiday master as the only weekday map. UAE Dirham tuition; SPEA-related document fees should be on the ledger. September intake with SPEA inspection evidence gathered across terms.

Homeroom and period marks still read that map. Late joiners must not be absent before they enrolled. Statutory attendance codes (where they exist) are local. Do not import Ofsted codes onto a CBSE campus by default. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
