About School
The British School was established in 1992 by Nord Anglia Education in partnership with Mrs. Iwona Thomas. NAE is the UK's leading provider of education in the independent sector. The British School, Warsaw was the first NAE International School and it opened its doors in 1992 with a total of 35 pupils. NAE now has international schools in citites around the world, including Budapest, Prague, Bratislava and Shanghai.
Our vision is to provide a high quality British education in an international context for children aged 2.5-18 years old.
Our Aims
English should develop pupils` abilities to communicate effectively in speech and writing and to listen with understanding. It should also enable them to be enthusiastic, responsive and knowledgeable readers.
Pupils will be introduced to a wide range of literature from a variety of sources and cultures including fiction and non-fiction pieces. They are encouraged to develop a critical and reasoned response. We trust that all our pupils will come to regard reading as a pleasurable activity.
The targets of the National Curriculum are approached through oral and written work based on a range of texts including various forms of prose, poetry, drama and non-fictional material. This will also include using whole class readers for a variety of language and literature work.
Our aim is that upon leaving our school students are confident, well-rounded individuals who are well prepared for the next stage of their education and their role in a challenging, demanding and rapidly changing world.
Clubs LEAP Programme
There are a variety of after school activities available to students. These are not compulsory; however they provide an excellent opportunity for students to experience and take part in something fun and stimulating. Some of the after school activities incur an additional cost as these usually involve specialist personnel and/or equipment. A list of the clubs will be printed and posted on the website at the start of each term. Students/ Parents may sign up for these activities subject to availability.
