Academics

Bromsgrove International School Thailand teaches British Curriculum, BTEC Qualification, Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A Levels for students aged 2 to 18.

Curriculum

Bromsgrove International School Thailand follows the British curriculum from Early Years through to Sixth Form. In the Early Years (ages 2–5), children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. From Year 1 onwards, students study the English National Curriculum, which continues through Primary and Key Stage 3. In Years 10 and 11, students prepare for IGCSEs, typically taking 8–9 subjects. In Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13), students choose between A Levels or BTEC Diplomas in subjects such as Business, Sport, and Travel & Tourism. The curriculum also includes additional lessons in Thai, Mandarin, Spanish, and Korean, alongside weekly pastoral and enrichment programmes.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Bromsgrove integrates Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) into its curriculum through weekly PSHE lessons and pastoral time. The school uses a House system and tutor groups to help students feel connected and supported, and it encourages leadership through roles such as House Captains and Student Councillors. Additionally, SEL is reinforced through regular themed assemblies and peer mentoring. Training for staff on social and emotional wellbeing is conducted during school development time.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Bromsgrove is not a specialist SEN school but supports students with mild to moderate needs. The school uses a “Team Around the Child” approach involving relevant staff such as the Head of Boarding, the school counsellor, and Heads of Key Stage. Training on SEN awareness is part of ongoing staff development. SEN support is available particularly in areas like language, and each case is reviewed to ensure the student can access the curriculum effectively.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school provides structured EAL support through its English First @ BIST programme, designed for students who need help to reach grade-level English proficiency. EAL is delivered via dedicated lessons and sometimes replaces other language subjects temporarily. Students are assessed upon entry, and their language progress is regularly monitored. The school website confirms that EAL teachers are integrated within the academic team and collaborate closely with classroom teachers to support learning across the curriculum.

Mental Wellbeing

Bromsgrove acknowledges the link between mental health and safeguarding. All staff are trained to recognise signs of emotional distress and adverse childhood experiences. The school has a dedicated counsellor and pastoral structure in place to monitor student wellbeing. Mental health-related training (e.g. suicide prevention) is provided during INSET weeks, and pastoral teams work closely with the Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) to ensure students receive timely support.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is led by an Executive Designated Safeguarding Lead (WDSL) and campus-specific DSLs. All staff receive annual safeguarding training, including TES certification and face-to-face refreshers. Visitors must wear ID badges and follow the school's safety procedures. Child protection policies comply with Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024, and boarding-specific safeguarding follows standards set by the Boarding Schools’ Association (BSA).
