Shrewsbury International School Bangkok City Campus

Shrewsbury International School Bangkok City Campus is situated in central Bangkok within the Sukhumvit–Rama 9 area, approximately 3 km from central Sukhumvit. he campus is conveniently located near MRT and BTS stations, making commuting practical for families using public transport or private vehicles. The surrounding neighbourhood combines leafy open spaces with nearby commercial and residential zones, popular among both expatriate and local families.

Shrewsbury City Campus follows the British curriculum, structured into Early Years (ages 2–5) and Primary School (ages 5–11). Students progress through the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stages 1 and 2. The programme prepares pupils for a seamless transition to the Riverside Campus, where they continue into Secondary education.

Shrewsbury City Campus is a co-educational, non-boarding day school.

City Campus provides support for students with mild to moderate Special Educational Needs (SEN), including difficulties such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism-related communication challenges, motor delays, or social-emotional health needs. A dedicated team — including a Director of Learning Support, Learning Support Teachers, and Assistants — delivers tailored support through Individual Education Plans, termly reviews, and possible one-to-one assistance (additional charges may apply).

Shrewsbury City Campus operates as part of Shrewsbury International School Bangkok, which is closely affiliated with Shrewsbury School in the United Kingdom.

Shrewsbury City Campus is a non‑religious and secular institution, with no formal religious alignment or religious instruction.

Shrewsbury City Campus generally follows a school day that runs from 7:30 AM to 2:45 PM, with attendance starting in the early morning and concluding mid-afternoon.

The school offers a bus service operated by a third-party provider, Montri Transport Corporation. Routes cover a wide area of central Bangkok and are coordinated directly through the school. The service is widely used by families, with each bus staffed by a driver and monitor, and equipped with seat belts and GPS tracking. Early Years 1 and 2 students are not eligible for this service.

Shrewsbury City Campus follows the British National Curriculum, beginning with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for children aged 2–5, enriched by Reggio Emilia and Montessori-inspired approaches to support playful, child-led learning. In Primary School (Years 1–6, ages 5–11), students progress through Key Stages 1 and 2, studying core subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, Computing, History, Geography, plus specialist classes in Thai Language & Culture, Mandarin, Music, Drama, PE and Swimming. Learning is delivered through thematic, topic-based units combining academic objectives with creative, real-world contexts. The school also offers the Hanqing Bilingual Pathway from EY1, with a 50/50 immersion model in English and Mandarin to foster bilingual fluency. There is no secondary curriculum or qualifications (IGCSE/A-Levels) at City Campus, as students move to Riverside Campus after Year 6.

City Campus employs a Well‑Being Team, including a Specialist School Counsellor, dedicated to supporting students’ social and emotional needs. Each child is assigned a teacher to monitor their holistic progress, while the School Listening Team and a Learning Mentor help address individual concerns with empathy and confidentiality. The school promotes resilience through programmes such as monthly emotional-regulation sessions for parents and classroom learning topics focused on coping skills and self-awareness.

City Campus is not a specialist SEN school but supports students with mild to moderate SEN, including dyslexia, ADHD, ASD, motor or sensory delays, and social/emotional health difficulties. A Director of Learning Support, along with learning support teachers and assistants, leads the provision of Individual Education Plans, withdrawal sessions or one-to-one support, liaising with parents and educators to meet each child’s needs.

The school runs a structured EAL programme staffed by a team of specialists who support learners from EY1 through Year 6. They co‑teach in mainstream lessons using a sheltered immersion model and deliver timetabled “English Plus” literacy lessons to reinforce reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Placement on the EAL register is based on regular assessments, and support continues until students can access the curriculum independently.

A recognised specialist counsellor leads wellbeing initiatives at City Campus, offering individual and group counselling sessions, parent workshops, and proactive emotional literacy programmes. Regular Tea & Topic sessions provide guidance for families on emotional regulation and resilience, reinforced by school-wide resilience-focused learning activities like the “Bouncing Back” campaign.

The school enforces comprehensive safeguarding policies in line with international best practice and Thai legislation. All staff receive training to identify and report concerns, supported by the pastoral team including counsellors and learning mentors. Parents are involved sensitively throughout the safeguarding process to ensure each child's welfare is upheld in a safe environment
