Letters to the School

from the Head Teacher

 

Dear Parents,

Here at Sharjah British School we understand that choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions that you will make. You want your child to have the best start in life. We believe every child needs to have access to an education that not only focuses on academic excellence but also on social integration. Without academic excellence we cannot achieve our potential and without social integration we are not fit for the outside world. We see our responsibility at Sharjah British School as carefully honing both these very important attributes. We understand that a child needs to learn in an environment where they feel comfortable and safe. Therefore we give attention to each student to understand them and to alleviate pressures that could be a distraction to them.

At Sharjah British School we emphasise the importance of being  “One Family ”. We emphasise to the students that we don’t have nationality, neither do we have skin colour or language or religion. When we come to the school we are the Sharjah British Family. Each child quickly understands that love and respect for one another are some of the most important ingredients that need to be developed in life. Teachers in the school work on being friends as well as educators to make sure that the environment is friendly and conducive to a learning environment.

Sharjah British School has reached a milestone in this current year, having received approval from the Cambridge International Examination Board to conduct IGCSE examinations and to become an approved Examination Centre. The management of the school has committed itself to excellence in this regard, having hired an international and highly qualified staff. The infrastructure of the school continues to be upgraded to make it one of the best facilities in the region. With a commitment to excellence and an expanding vision to excel you can be sure that Sharjah British School will remain as one of the best educational centres in the region for the present and into the future.

Our aim is: 
.. to offer the very best of International Education and to afford every student the opportunity to reach their potential.

Finally, at Sharjah British School we have an “Open Door Policy”. We understand that you may have questions and need to see for yourself where little Laila or Abdullah will be sitting. Having an open door policy in the school means that both now and in the future you are free to come and discuss and take part in the progress of your child so that you can rest assured that the decision you have made is the right one.

Regards

Peter Vaughan
