Which curriculum does the school follow?
Footprints follows the NO BOARD curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.

Most reputable schools have a staff-child fee concession policy. Eligibility, percentage and number of children covered vary — ask HR for the written policy.

Most teachers handle 4–6 instructional periods a day, with the rest going to lesson planning, assessment correction, and a co-curricular duty.
