Students

”We fly with our own wings”
This is the motto we live by and our aim is to help students achieve this goal. The British School has a strong multi-cultural ethos with approximately 700 students with 50 nationalities ranging from age 3+ in Nursery to age 17+ in Year 13. This cultural diversity is celebrated, individuality is nurtured and the differences between people are explored, not suppressed. We provide opportunities for students to grow beyond themselves in a happy, secure and stimulating environment in which they feel confident and included.

Organised student events
Learning cannot be limited to the classroom and experiences outside of the classroom can be valuable learning opportunities. It is for this reason that frequent day trips (often subject-related), overseas trips for foreign languages students and annual class trips are worked into the school curriculum.
We also organise curriculum-based programmes such as Class Assemblies, Literacy Week, Numeracy Week, U. N. Week, Art Work Displays and Exhibitions to further stimulate and stretch each student.

Student parties
School life requires a balance between learning and having fun. Our students enjoy many social activities including the Valentine’s Dance, Crazy Hair Day, end of term class parties and end of year discos (organised and hosted by Year 5 for Year 6), as well as the International Evening, and a ‘Moving Up: Moving On’ ceremony for Year 6 going to Year 7, to name a few.

Developing a sense of charity
We lead by example and benevolence is an important part of The British School’s curriculum across all year groups. We host events from bake sales to donations, from fairs to sports days and from education to entertainment, helping our students contribute to those who are less fortunate. We also have a strong community service programme which gives them the opportunity to participate at the ‘hands on’ level.
A special Sports Day is annually organised by the Student Council for the Deepalaya students (a non-governmental organisation that runs schools for less privileged students). Year 12 and 13 students teach a number of Deepalaya student’s spoken English, drama, music and dance.

Behaviour
Students are expected to abide by the behaviour policy of the school. We believe that students thrive in an environment where expectations are clear, when good behaviour is encouraged and where the consequences of innappropriate behaviour are known to all.

When a student joins the school s/he has to sign an acceptance of the code of behaviour expected from her or him.
