History	History ISPH began in 2016 when co-founders Datuk Seri Yaw Chee Siew and Pham Duc Trung Kien launched plans to establish a top international school in Hanoi. The curriculum combines the British National Curriculum with international programmes such as the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), Cambridge IGCSE, and A-Level, led by UK-trained teachers and with a founding Principal from ISPKL. ISPH opened in August 2019 as the first sister school of The International School @ ParkCity Kuala Lumpur, developed in partnership with ParkCity Hanoi. It started with around 70 students in the Early Years and Year 8 and has since grown to more than 300 students reaching Year 13, with the first A-Level cohort graduating in 2025. An official alliance with Nguyen Hue High School and an eight-member Council of Advisors drawn from Vietnamese academia support the school, alongside investments in facilities for sports, performing arts, and science.	History Reigate Grammar School Vietnam began as the International School of Vietnam (ISV) in Hanoi and was re-branded in 2021. In December 2021, after an 18‑month collaboration with Reigate Grammar School UK, ISV was renamed Reigate Grammar School Vietnam (RGSV). RGSV is a not-for-profit international school in Hanoi that blends a traditional British independent school approach with Vietnamese values and principles and serves pupils aged 3–18.

Awards	Awards 1) Well-being Award for Schools (WAS) from the National Children's Bureau and Optimus Education. ISPH was honored with this award, which recognizes excellent well-being and mental health practices within school communities. This reflects the school's commitment to a positive and supportive environment for students and staff.	Awards Awards listed on the RGSV site are primarily student-focused and not awarded to the school. Examples show RGSV students receiving prizes in external competitions, not the school as an institution. For instance: - RGSV wins 3 Awards at the Korean Literature competition (November 2022): three RGSV students were prize winners, including a Grand Prize. This reflects student achievement rather than a school-level award to RGSV itself. - RGSV Students Shine at the 2024 UKMT-SMC (October 2024): results celebrate individual student medals and awards in a UK Maths Trust competition. The emphasis is on students, not the school as a separate award recipient. - Hanoi Folk Music Competition 2023: RGSV Year 3 pupil won a Special Prize, attributed to the student rather than the institution. - RGSV Class of 2025 Achieves Outstanding IB Diploma Programme Results (July 2025): reports on student results, not a school-level award to RGSV.

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.

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.

Admissions are considered complete once these payments are made and the student is enrolled.	Admissions Step 1 – Inquiry and information gathering: Families begin by registering interest through RGSV's online admissions portal or by contacting the admissions team by phone or email.
