COBIS Beacon School Award
We are pleased to announce some of the main points from our recent Council of British International Schools (COBIS) accreditation inspection report. We are delighted to have successfully gained membership of COBIS and even further delighted that we have been awarded BEACON SCHOOL STATUS for our provision of welfare, care and wellbeing. This is an outstanding accolade and is awarded to only a few schools around the world who are leading the way in that field, demonstrating exceptional standards from which other schools can learn.
As you will be aware, the safety and wellbeing of our children and staff has been at the centre of our provision from the inception of the school and we re-doubled our focus on this over the past two years during the pandemic. Only with the best possible provision for care and wellbeing will students be able to cope with the changing landscape of education and their own everyday lives and continue to learn and achieve academically. I am immensely proud of our staff and students for the manner in which we have, with your support and understanding, overcome and even flourished throughout the current situation, and recognition of this by COBIS is worth celebrating.
