HEAD TEACHER INTRODUCTION


Braeburn High School is a co-educational International Secondary School following the British National Curriculum. Students are prepared for the University of Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education Examinations (IGCSE). The School enjoys a wide racial mix, and has recently moved to its present site so all the buildings and facilities are brand new and in pristine condition.

Braeburn High is a day school with an extensive school transport system. The School has a warm, friendly and caring atmosphere with high standards of discipline, providing an environment conducive to good learning. Our aim is to allow all students to fulfill their academic potential, while at the same time developing social skills and graces to enable them to meet the challenges of society.

Excellent brand new specialist facilities referred to in the prospectus enable complete coverage in the best possible manner of the British National Curriculum.

Braeburn High School prides itself on its examination results and last year's performance was arguably our best to date. SATs (Standard Attainment Tests) are taken at the end of Year 9 and IGCSE examinations are sat at the end of Year 11.

Whilst the importance of academic achievement is recognized, we also offer a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities for our students. Individual timetables for activities are prepared for pupils to pursue their interests at lunch times, after school and at weekends. Regular school excursions are also an integral part of the school's program.

Throughout their time in Braeburn High, students are given advice and guidance regarding careers and applications to Institutions of Higher Education wherever in the world.

The school has an open door policy to parents who regularly pop in to discuss issues or simply to walk around to see what is going on. Communication between students, staff and parents is extensive and healthy. A detailed report is prepared for each student each term.

Braeburn High School has students with smiles on their faces. We want children to want to come to school, to achieve, to discover and exploit their talents, to contribute and to be ready for the challenges adulthood brings. With a staff balanced with youth and experience and committed parents and students, we are satisfied that we achieve and will continue to achieve our aims at the school.
