We got fooled by the program outline, the world languages program, the 'global' view of the school and the fantastic and vast facilities. Having now attended, we are truly disappointed. Communication is lacking from the teachers to the faculty, half the facilities and programs are unavailable or inconsistent with no apology or explanation. Worst is the PE program and 'encouragement of development'. There is no development. PE teachers thrive on nepotism, favouring kids who were on squads in previous years, do the absolute minimal possible to encourage other kids to excel and do not hold tryouts and sessions that are open to all students. I've personally witnessed kids who should not be on squads, get on the teams and those that deserve it, don't get a chance to shine. BSME is also a big joke, literally choosing kids who the PE team want to develop, regardless of skill level. I understand that they want the highest rating but this is a school that charges a very high fee and then to do this is absolutely abhorrent. The World languages program is pathetic at best. Kids are barely learning, half the teachers can't teach the language or have very little experience actually teaching. Overall, not worth it.

As parents, we’ve been extremely happy with our overall experience at Nord Anglia School—the quality of teaching, the supportive environment, and the wide range of opportunities offered to our children have all exceeded our expectations. The teachers are genuinely invested in each student’s growth, and the school community feels warm, inclusive, and well‑organized. Our only piece of feedback is that there are currently many different apps and communication channels, which can make it a bit overwhelming to keep track of everything. It would be wonderful to have one centralized app or platform to streamline communication. Aside from this, we’re truly pleased with the school and grateful for the positive impact it has had on our child.
