A very warm welcome to Thames British School Warsaw

Dear Parents and Students,

I am delighted to welcome you to our community. Whether this is your first encounter with Thames British School Warsaw, we are a diverse group of learners from around the world, united by our home in Warsaw, our shared values, and our commitment to the young people in our care. 

As part of the Dukes Education family, a leading international schools group dedicated to excellence in education, TBSW benefits from the expertise, strength, and global perspective of a wider educational community, while maintaining the close-knit spirit that defines our school. 

An international British‑style education blends the traditions and values of British schooling with a global perspective, while respecting local culture and customs. Following the British curriculum, students experience a broad and balanced range of subjects, complemented by Polish language learning. With a strong emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, and effective communication, this approach prepares students for a competitive and interconnected world, nurturing globally aware and confident individuals.

A hallmark of British education is its focus on rigorous examinations and assessments. Students at TBSW are assessed in line with international and British standards. We triangulate data from internal, external, and standardised assessments to ensure we know they are reaching their potential.

In the final four years, we offer Cambridge IGCSE qualifications as a foundation for progression to A levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. These pathways provide equally rigorous routes to world-leading universities, ensuring students are well prepared for the next stage of their educational journey.

Our values — Collaborative and Compassionate; Authentic; Responsible and Resilient; and Enlightened — are woven into everything we do. They guide our teachers in providing meaningful and impactful learning opportunities, while for students, they provide a framework for character development — because at Thames, learning goes beyond academics.

 
Yours in partnership,

Berrin Schofield
