A word from Ted McGrath, Head of The International School
d’Overbroeck’s International School welcomes students from over 40 countries around the world and enables them to take their first steps into the British education system. Our academic programmes are carefully designed for international students, with a particular focus on enquiry-based learning and English as an Additional Language. However, we are also committed to supporting our students pastorally, and our expertly designed pastoral care includes pre-arrival preparations, an induction programme to the daily timetable, and ongoing support.
We offer an environment that is academically challenging, but also a
home away from home where students can feel safe and supported. Individual talents are nurtured and championed so that students here can grow as confident, caring individuals, developing the skills and character needed in the fast-changing international world.
We also give students access to trips and activities incorporating a diverse range of British cultural locations, and they regularly join our UK students in whole school learning opportunities. Through an education here students not only achieve impressive GCSE and IGCSE results but also develop the necessary skills required to succeed in Sixth Form and at university.
Why choose d'Overbroeck's International School?
The International School enables international students aged 13-16 to experience the British education system and study a range of academic programmes. Students come from all over the world to study with us in our vibrant and friendly school. Our focus on English as an Additional Language, co-curricular activities, academic enrichment including our TRACK (Theory of Research, Active Citizenship and Knowledge) academic enrichment, and the Sixth Form and University Progression are just some of the benefits available to international students who join us.
Students will receive expert Pastoral Care throughout their time with us, which includes pre-arrival preparations, an induction programme, a personal development curriculum, ongoing school counsellors’ support, and more from a large team dedicated to students’ wellbeing. International students will be warmly welcomed and have plenty of opportunities to mix with students in other parts of the school through activities that interest them. Trips and excursions relating to English heritage are also on offer, allowing students to learn more about British culture and history.

Thank you to the Children’s Book Project for this opportunity to impact the community and encourage children’s literacy.
Research has shown that one in four disadvantaged children across the UK has fewer than ten books of their own at home, and one in eight has none. The Children’s Book Project seeks to tackle book poverty and to give every child the opportunity to own their own book.
