Thank you to those parents who have confirmed that your child/children will be leaving 91传媒 at the end of the term, i.e.Wednesday, 2nd October 2024. Adequate notice is a requirement and avoids financial penalties for parents. It also allows us to refund your security deposits on time and helps us to plan for the new term.

The deadline for providing the formal notice of the withdrawal of your child/children is Sunday, 15th of September 2024. The notice of withdrawal can be provided either by email or written letter to Ms. Manisha Bajracharya at the admission office.

After submitting the notice of withdrawal, parents will receive a clearance form to complete the withdrawal procedure nearer the end of Term 1. Please let Ms. Bajracharya in the admissions office know should you require any school documents/references to provide to the new school.

Late notice of withdrawal (or providing no notice) and failure to submit the form or return the school鈥檚 resources may fully or partially affect refunding the security deposit.

The vibrant school calendars for the academic year 2024/25 are available for purchase in the school shop.

We have had another fantastic week of learning in Primary & Early Years. All year groups have continued with their Brainwaves topic in IPC and this culminated in a very well attended Exit Point this afternoon.

We were delighted to welcome so many parents to join us in the Primary classrooms where the children demonstrated and exhibited their learning for their parents.

Year 1 had a wonderful time showing their art work and talking about the learning animals with their parents and carers. They loved sharing their understanding of the brain, and playing the memory game.

Year 2 shared everything that they have learnt about the learning animals and how this relates to how they learn every day in school.

Year 3 were excited to share some activities that they now know help their brains develop, and are a key part of learning. We hope that the parents enjoyed the range of challenges just as much as the children!

Year 5 were pleased to present a short skit about the brain controlling other functions of the body such as movement and memories, a show that is sure to be remembered in the future!

Year 6 shared their learning on growth mindset, brain breakers and energisers. They also presented their learning on the Key Question, How to memorise things?

Having our 91传媒 families in school, sharing in their childrens鈥� learning always has such a positive impact on the students and is an extremely effective way to develop the triangular partnership between teachers, students and parents.

Each year group presented to the rest of the school in our Primary Assembly, where we found out what the other classes were learning about how we learn.

In addition, we also welcomed our 91传媒 families to our Parent Information Session on Wednesday morning where the Primary Leadership Team went over all aspects of school life in Early Years & Primary. It was a pleasure to see so many families attending and we look forward to seeing you again next week for our Whole School Sports and PE Parent Information Session.

Celebrating IGCSE success at 91传媒

In line with GCSE results day in England, 91传媒 students collected their Edexcel IGCSE grades this week to complement their Cambridge IGCSE grades which were released last week. This was the year that GCSE grading returned fully to its pre-COVID levels last seen in the 2019 cohort.

At 91传媒 25% of grades were at the highest A*, 9 or 8 levels up from 22% last year and up from 7% in 2019. The number of A*-A (including 9,8,7 grades) grades was 45% (slightly down from last year鈥檚 50% and in line with the results achieved by all independent schools in the UK. Overall the A-C success rate was 90%.

There were some fantastic individual results with three students achieving 8 A* grades and another five achieving the top grade in over half their subjects. 84% of 91传媒 students achieved an A or an A* in at least one subject.

At 91传媒 we also like to report our value added score. This year 91传媒 students were 0.7 grades per IGCSE on average higher than their most likely grade as modelled using their CAT test data. This is academic progress the whole cohort can be very proud of and is another way of judging how well this year group have done in the IGCSEs.

Be involved

Be punctual, be present, be prepared, be respectful and be honest. The 91传媒 5Bs that surround our code of conduct were prominent in our Key Stage Parent Information Sessions this week. Thank you to all parents who attended. Tuesday slides from Head of Key Stage 3, Ms Lama are linked , Ms Sheldon, Head of Key Stage 5, slides on Sixth Form life and applying to universities from Thursday are linked here and Ms Wiiliams (standing in for Ms Middlebrook) and Mr Draper presentation on Key Stage 4 life are . Mr Draper took the liberty of suggesting 鈥渂e involved鈥� as a sixth B as he outlined plans for the 91传媒 Graduation Diploma, being introduced in Year 11 this year and the international Duke of Edinburgh Award for Year 10. Both the diploma and the bronze award have a requirement for students to take part in both a variety of extra-curricular activities and outdoor expeditions. At the Key Stage 5 presentation Ms Sheldon introduced the term super-curricular (curriculum based clubs, such as Medical Society, which give students the change to think about their academic subjects beyond the confines of the exam curriculum) to add to extra-curricular activities (those which broaden a students experiences in a different context, such as sport or music, to their academic studies). Ms Sheldon explained how both super and extra curricular are highly valued by universities when considering their offer to students. We will be reopening Period 9 club booking next week to allow students a second chance to sign up for one of the over 50 clubs being offered in secondary this term. Whilst there are many students doing a club on every day of the week, it is our aim that every student attends at least one club this term. If you would like to read why we are passionate about the value of our extra curricular clubs programme, slide 18 of the gives our 10 top reasons.

We are also pleased to announce our secondary residential trips that we are planning to run this academic year. November expeditions, as well as the Year 8 humanities trip and the Year 10 geography trip are all included in school fees whilst the estimated cost of the paid trips is given to help families plan their budgets. We are so fortunate to be part of the FOBISIA network (Federation of British International Schools in Asia) and, as well as the traditional FOBISIA sports, we are planning trips to FOBISIA Senior Drama in Delhi, FOBISIA Student Leadership in Kuala Lumpur and FOBISIA Junior Music in Bangkok, as well as the now traditional World Scholar鈥檚 Cup global round. It is a core part of our educational philosophy to give all students the opportunity to experience residential learning in a location outside the greater Kathmandu area.
