IGCSEs, AS Level and A Level examinations

Once again, Harrow Bangkok’s Year 13s produced a stellar set of A2 Level results. Behind the statistics are many individual success stories, including that of Ani Khanra who achieved 4 A*/A passes. He will now take up a place at the Birla Institute of Technology in Mesra, India to read Mechanical Engineering. Sand Vamasiri, who achieved 3 A*/A passes, will now take up a place at Kings College London to read Law. Mathematics students also performed particularly well – of the 112 who took the exam, 60% achieved an A* or A grade. Those gaining an A* grade included former Head Girl Pat Yontrarak who will now study Biology at Stanford University and Oak Bunyapamai who will now take up a place at University College London reading Mechanical Engineering. University destinations for Harrow Bangkok’s Sixth Formers are predominantly in the UK and USA, mainly at Russell Group and Ivy League institutions respectively. Engineering is a particular strength of the School, with 18 students going on to study engineering courses at higher education. Students taking AS examinations performed equally well - over a quarter of Harrow Bangkok students achieved 3 or more A grades including Head Girl, Kyrah Chotitawan who achieved 4 A grades and our Head Boy, David Hyland who achieved 3 A grades at AS level and A* in Mathematics at A2 Level. The School is also celebrating its best ever results at IGCSE level. 58% of grades received were A*-As. 56% of Harrow students received 5 or more A*-As, and 50 students have achieved at least 6 A*-As -the standard required to become a Harrow Scholar.

The role of learning support teachers includes assessment of student needs, working with class teachers to provide for students who need additional support, creating a plan with targets to address specific needs of the students. It is important that school staff and parents work together collaboratively to ensure the best outcomes for students. There are regular meetings with parents to discuss the progress of students who are receiving help from learning support staff. If it is felt that we are not the school which can best provide for a particular student, the School will support and help parents in finding an alternative placement for their child. When deemed necessary, a specialist assessment may be recommended by an outside consultant, for example, by an Educational Psychologist or Occupational Therapist. Options for these types of assessment are provided by the Learning Support Co-ordinators. We have a dedicated Speech and Language Teacher who works across the School to help students overcome speech issues. After referral by a teacher or parent, children are assessed and supported with individual sessions tailored to meet the needs of the child. Both speech (e.g. articulation) and language (e.g. vocabulary, grammar, communications skills) issues are addressed and resolved.

Learning Support. Harrow Bangkok provides for students with a range of abilities. We have learning support teachers to work with students who may find some aspects of the curriculum in their lessons challenging.

Culminating Cambridge English Proficiency Saturday School (a morning English enrichment programme) at Harrow Bangkok focuses on the language elements necessary for academic success within and beyond school. With small class sizes, ten weeks of intensive teaching and a strong teacher focus on individual learner needs, our programme provides each student with 30 hours of extra English teaching, practice and exposure. The Foundation English Programme is often a student’s first-step into Harrow Bangkok for students who need language support. The aim of the Foundation English Programme is to provide a framework where we ensure students have a strong enough base in the English language before attempting to study full-time in the mainstream classes. To provide the best support we can class sizes are small (usually between ten and fifteen) and we have a full-time Teacher assistant in the class alongside the main English teacher.
