Page 1 of 3  HEADTEACHERS INTRODUCTION TO BRAEBURN MOMBASA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, PRIMARY
Braeburn took over Mombasa International School (MIS) in September 2004 and established the National Curriculum of England and Wales in both the Primary and Secondary sections using the QCA schemes of work in order to ensure consistency, continuity and progression in all subjects. Our academic record with SATs (Statutory Attainment Tests) which our children sit at the end of Key Stage 2 is way above the UK national average. This is particularly significant since many children come to us with no English at all. Our school is a community in which children, parents and teachers work together to provide a stimulating, happy and caring environment. Regular communication with parents is a vital element in our school culture. We are proud of our ethnic and religious mix both among our staff and pupils which we use to foster understanding and tolerance of other people’s cultures and beliefs, celebrating them through our assemblies and subjects like RE. Positive attitudes are encouraged by rewarding good work and behaviour. Our children are proud of their efforts and achievements which they share in class and in good work assemblies. No-one can do better than their best and our teachers are quick to recognise and respond to children who try hard. Our extra curricular programmes after school enable children from Year 1 upwards to participate in a wide range of activities including sports, music, drama, art/craft, scouts and the martial arts. Our highly dedicated staff of teachers, assistants, ancillary workers and administrators work together in a beautiful rural setting within one of Kenya’s most outstanding areas of historical, cultural, geographical and natural importance. It has been described by no less a person than the Chairman of IAPS as a model which any UK school would envy.
