We believe in the purposeful and balanced use of technology to enhance learning. Screen time is used selectively to support engagement, creativity and collaboration, focusing on quality and purposeful use rather than quantity. Online and screen-based learning will form 20% or less of instructional time.

Yes, our school is well-equipped to deliver online and distance education when needed, such as in emergencies. However, our core model is that of a physical school, emphasising in-person interactions.

Our school embraces a multifaith approach to teaching and learning but isn't religious per se. We respect diverse beliefs while meeting all Indonesian legal requirements and respecting parental choice.

Early Years students (aged 2–5) are assessed against the UK Curriculum's Early Learning Goals, largely through observation of learning in progress.

Primary students (aged 5–11) are assessed using the standards of the English National Curriculum through continuous formative assessments by highly skilled teachers. As students advance, we incorporate externally benchmarked tests in core subjects—English, Reading, Mathematics, and Science—using GL Assessments, a highly regarded suite of age-appropriate physical and computer-based tests widely used by top-tier British schools.

We also make use of CAT4 assessments to benchmark and track the development of cognitive abilities as well as Pupil Attitude to Self and School (PASS) tests, which provide an insight into students' social-emotional learning, relationships and overall wellbeing.

Our future Secondary students (11-18 y.o. students) complete IGCSEs and A-levels in preparation for entry to the world's leading universities.

Schools Trust schools have extremely high academic standards and achieve exemplary student outcomes. 95% of students graduating from our global network of schools secure a place at their first choice of university / higher education institution.

A modest, age-appropriate quantity of homework is set. Homework for younger learners is fun, practical and game-based but some more structured homework is set as children enter the upper Primary years. Children are expected to complete reading at home, supported by adults or older siblings.

This varies by age/class. Year 1 children of 5 years of age are generally set around 20 minutes a night comprised of reading, learning spelling words and times tables practice. Upper Primary students receive up to 40 minutes a night including reading, spelling and some more structured tasks; we anticipate offering a homework club where students can complete some of the non-reading and spelling-based homework.

95% of students graduating from our global network of schools secure a place at their first choice of university / higher education institution.

We are generally inclusive, and our teachers are trained in SEND provision, but acknowledge that some special needs require specialist provision beyond the scope of a mainstream school. We handle this on a case by case basis. Owing to the richness of the skill-sets available here in Bali, we located a fully qualified, native-English-speaking SEND professional with experience in English-medium international schools; the professional in question is an expert in meeting various needs including ASD and is instructing our school on how to incorporate the principles of Universal Design for Learning into our classroom design and educational offer. While plan A remains to refer any students to her on a case by case basis, she has indicated a willingness to join our team; this excites us since we are keen to support the (often very high-achieving) individuals who have particular emotional or learning needs.

To be confirmed.

Teachers plan challenging exercises and extension tasks as a matter of routine. Able, gifted and talented provision is highly developed in other Trust schools and BSB will match these standards, responding to the needs of our intake.

We conform to local legal requirements and a number of our Early Years and Primary staff are trained in guidance counselling. Owing to the richness of the skill-sets available here in Bali, we located a fully qualified, native-English-speaking psychologist with experience in tier-one British curriculum schools; this professional works in partnership with our school and should the need arise has indicated a willingness to join our team.

Yes, we evaluate new entries to the school. A blend of observation and age/level-appropriate formal assessment is used.

We have clear benchmarks and standards but understand the need for flexibility in a new school situation.

Evaluation for Early Years students would typically involve teachers observing the child and interacting with them, playing educational games etc. as a means of understanding the level of their social, emotional, physical and language development.

Children entering Years 1 and 2 (5-7 y.o.), if appropriate, will additionally complete games and exercises to ascertain their level of phonics/reading, numeracy and writing.

Children who are developmentally ready, in Years 3-4 (7-9 y.o.) may be invited to complete some age-appropriate reading, writing mathematics testing.

Not at present, but one is likely to develop as we approach August 2025.

Admission is currently open. We encourage parents to enrol as soon as possible as demand is strong.
