Last week was the English department’s favourite time of the year: Book Week! We had an incredibly positive and rewarding week and the atmosphere in the school was incredible.

New students seem to be coping well with the high standards that we set in the quality of work that they produce both in the classroom and at home.

The Progress Check Tests are formal tests that are completed throughout the year in order to establish how well each student is doing and provide opportunities for support afterwards in a more personalised way.

It is looking to be another exciting year filled with applications to all parts of the globe. I am confident with the strength of the International Baccalaureate Diploma and our own BIS Hanoi Diploma that our Year 13s will be just as successful as last year’s graduates in finding the right university for them.
