Wellbeing & support	Wellbeing & support
Social & emotional learning	Social & emotional learning BCVN provides pastoral care through a dedicated team that oversees student welfare across school life. Their “Pastoral Care” programme emphasises respect, mutual support, and recognition of each child, aiming to help pupils feel safe and valued. The school also organises parent-workshops on topics such as social media and revision, fostering a shared understanding between home and school of students’ emotional needs.	Social & emotional learning ISPH places wellbeing at the heart of daily endeavours and aims to foster a thriving school community. The school employs a School Counsellor / Learning Support Teacher as part of its staff to support individual students. Senior leadership emphasises wellbeing and character development as essential elements of students' progress and success. A dedicated Mental Health & Wellbeing Resource Directory is available to support student mental health. There is also a University & Careers Guidance Counsellor to assist students with personal and future planning, contributing to SEL.
Special educational needs (SEN)	Special educational needs (SEN) Although BCVN’s policies list “education and welfare provision for pupils with EHC plans and pupils for whom English is an additional language” among possible policy documents available on request, the publicly accessible “Admissions Regulations” note that the school is currently unable to accommodate pupils with special educational needs. Thus, while there is a framework for SEN policy, the school does not present itself as a specialist-SEN institution, and there is no publicly detailed provision for individual learning support.	Special educational needs (SEN) SEN Support is provided for students with specific and identified needs and is carefully planned to support these needs. SEN support may take place in-class or out-of-class, and may involve a Learning Support Assistant or 1:1 sessions. The Learning Support programme includes EAL and is tailored to the individual. The school has a School Counsellor / Learning Support Teacher among its staff to support SEN and wellbeing. There is no explicit designation of ISPH as a specialist SEN institution in publicly available materials.
English as an additional language	English as an additional language On its policy page, BCVN indicates that “policy and welfare provision for pupils for whom English is an additional language” exists and is available on request. However — the school does not publicly describe any specific EAL programme, support classes, or language-support staff. Therefore, it is not possible to confirm formal EAL support in practice.	English as an additional language ISPH offers free EAL and Learning Support programmes for students in need. English is the language of instruction across the campus. The EAL programme uses a Cambridge English curriculum and covers CEFR levels from A0/A1 up to competent users at A2; once students reach B1 and above, EAL support ends and students may study other languages such as Mandarin, Spanish and Vietnamese. Assessments of speaking, listening, reading and writing occur at the end of each term, with CEFR levels reviewed after each assessment.
Mental wellbeing	Mental wellbeing BCVN’s safeguarding and pastoral-care framework includes measures to ensure pupil welfare throughout school life, which implicitly supports mental well-being by promoting respect, inclusivity, and student-care. Beyond this, there is no publicly available information detailing dedicated counselling services, mental-health programmes, or structured mental-wellbeing initiatives for students.	Mental wellbeing Wellbeing is central to ISPH's mission and daily practice, and the school maintains dedicated counselling staff to support students' mental health. The leadership team includes a University & Careers Guidance Counsellor, and the Principal emphasises that wellbeing and character development are essential for student success. A Mental Health & Wellbeing Resource Directory is available to support staff and students. The Safeguarding (Inclusion) Team also monitors wellbeing and safety through weekly meetings and proactive, early-intervention approaches.
Safeguarding	Safeguarding Brighton College Vietnam has a publicly available Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy (updated August 2025), which applies to both Preparatory and Senior School. It identifies a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and a team of Deputy DSLs covering all school levels, under whose oversight safeguarding issues — including bullying, online safety, child-on-child abuse, complaints, and secure premises — are managed. The policy applies to all staff, volunteers, contractors and visitors, and is reviewed annually. It establishes procedures for reporting concerns, handling allegations, and ensuring pupil welfare at all times.	Safeguarding Safeguarding is a core focus at ISPH, guiding every decision and practice. The Safeguarding (Inclusion) Team is led by Designated Safeguarding Lead Mr. Lewis Foster, with Deputy DSLs Mr. James Lotter and Mr. Tom Adams. All staff receive annual safeguarding training, and visitors or external providers are briefed on safeguarding expectations. Safeguarding posters are displayed in classrooms and key areas, with QR codes linking to policies and a trilingual anonymous reporting form, plus the wellbeing@isph.edu.vn hotline for reporting concerns.

Admissions	Admissions
Admissions	Admissions 1. Submit registration Families begin by completing the school’s online registration form and paying the required non-refundable application fee. The admissions team reviews the submission once both the form and payment are received. Parents may be asked to provide basic personal and academic information at this stage. 2. Entrance assessments After registration, the school schedules an assessment day. Students complete age-appropriate assessments, which typically include English, mathematics, and reasoning tasks for older applicants, or early-years readiness assessments for younger children. These assessments help the school determine suitability for placement. 3. Offer and documentation If the student meets the entry criteria, the school issues a Letter of Acceptance along with a list of documents required to confirm the place. Families are usually asked to submit items such as identification documents, previous school records, and transfer letters where applicable. Enrolment is only confirmed once these documents are submitted and verified. 4. Final enrolment confirmation After documentation is approved, the school finalises the child’s enrolment and provides details about start dates and class placement. In some cases—particularly for older year groups—additional procedures may apply, and the admissions team guides families through these if needed.	Admissions 1. Step 1: Application. To begin enrolment, complete the ISPH online application at isph.openapply.com and upload the required supporting documentation. Read and sign off the terms and conditions governing enrollment and admissions, which are also available in Vietnamese. ISPH opens admissions throughout the year, and there is no specific fixed intake period, but some year groups may reach full capacity; contact the Admissions Team to check current availability. 2. Step 2: Admissions Assessment. The school will contact you to arrange the Admissions Assessment. During this session the Principal, Head of Primary or Head of Secondary will meet you and your child to discuss the application. Your child will then complete a series of assessment tasks to evaluate readiness and fit for ISPH. 3. Step 3: Offer of school place. After successful completion of steps 1 and 2, a school place can be offered subject to availability. Parents receive an Offer Letter, usually within two days; if an offer cannot be made, the school explains the reasons and next steps. 4. Step 4: Acceptance and Registration. To accept the offer and complete registration, sign and return the Offer Letter and make payment of the Registration Fee. Registration is then completed and the school place is reserved for your child. 5. Step 5: Payment of fees and deposit. Before the child commences at the school, parents pay all applicable fees, including the tuition fee, capital fee and security deposit. Admissions are considered complete once these payments are made and the student is enrolled.
