If you are a new member of our community – either as a parent, teacher or pupil – I hope that this website will provide you with a helpful summary of what we stand for and a brief guide to our daily practice. If you are reading this because you are interested in what we have to offer as a school – either as an education for your children or as a place to work - I trust that you will take the opportunity to visit us to see for yourself what we are all about.

This website does its best to portray the life and purposes of the school. The key document, which comes under close scrutiny and detailed review each year, is the School’s statement of Vision, Mission, Philosophy, Aims and Objectives. It is a clear expression of what we stand for and believe in and states the specific actions we take to achieve our aims. It is our essential guide to daily practice.

What this portrait of our school fails to describe is the inherent and incessant efforts being made to learn and improve our school and ourselves at every level – be it in the classroom or on the Board of Governors. We are a community which shares a common drive to want and to do better. Expectations are high and one can readily sense a genuine striving for excellence. Everyone is welcome to participate, everyone is valued and everyone has a vital role to play in developing this exciting community of learning. The British School is imbued with the sincerely held belief that, by working hard and by working closely together, we can achieve great things for our children.

It is an enormous privilege to introduce you to our unique community.

Paul Wiseman OBE
