Secondary Parent Handbook

Welcome From Our Head Of Secondary


Ian Midgley

Dear Students, Parents, and Community Members,

It is with great pleasure and a profound sense of commitment that I welcome you to another exciting year at NCBIS. As the Head of Secondary, I am delighted to introduce our Student and Parent Handbook, a vital resource designed to guide and support our school community throughout the academic year.

At NCBIS, we are dedicated to fostering an environment that not only prioritises academic excellence but also nurtures the holistic development of each student – ‘Bring out the best in everyone!’ Central to this are the relationships between students, parents, and educators. Mutual respect forms the cornerstone of these relationships in our community, creating a safe and happy environment where every student can thrive. A culture of respect and collaboration extends to all interactions within our school, fostering a supportive atmosphere that allows each student to reach their full potential.

At the heart of our educational philosophy is the belief that our students should emerge as independent, resilient, and self-motivated individuals, ready to take on the challenges of an ever-changing global landscape. We strive to cultivate internationally minded young people whose curiosity and global awareness drive them to explore, innovate, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.

Please take your time to read the handbook, as the pages that follow provide you with key information aimed at making the Secondary School a safe, friendly, and enriching place for everyone to learn and succeed. We understand that current and new families may have questions regarding the school – hopefully, this handbook will address these, enabling you to support the embedded culture at NCBIS.

I am excited about the journey ahead and confident that together, we can create a dynamic, inclusive, and inspiring learning environment. Thank you for your trust and partnership as we work towards empowering our students and ‘bringing out the best in everyone.’
