What The Good Schools Guide says..
‘The individual tailoring of the academic programme without streaming and setting is just amazing. The balance and focus on each child, no judgement between them is what sets this school apart.’ Grateful parents of strikingly different siblings told us it ‘suits the whole family’. A small, cosy and friendly international school that gets the best out of children with its placement by ability, not age, along with its nurturing environment. School’s mantra that ‘we don’t just bring students to TASIS, we bring families’ is appreciated; parents are grateful to find…
What the school says...
TASIS England offers a challenging university-preparatory curriculum, including the International Baccalaureate Diploma, to day (ages 3-18) and boarding (ages 14-18) students on its spacious campus. Small classes and a dedicated, experienced faculty provide individualized attention and an outstanding environment for learning. Graduates go on to excellent universities in the US, the UK, and worldwide.
While academics are emphasized, a comprehensive athletics program, extracurricular activities, community service, and cultural excursions ensure a balanced education. Taking advantage of the opportunities that England and Europe offer as extensions to classroom learning, students enjoy numerous field trips, weekend activities, and travel abroad. Committed to providing the very best educational experience, TASIS England has excellent facilities for theatre, visual arts, music, sports, fitness, and technology. ...Read more

Head of school
Since 2017, Bryan Nixon. Previously head of Whitby school, an independent school in Connecticut, USA, and before that, director of Bavarian International School near Munich, Germany. The first non-American head of TASIS England was parachuted in for his experience and steady hand to help the school ‘find its heartbeat again’. And parents say he has: ‘The school wouldn’t be where it is now without him,’ and ‘I’m very impressed, he sets such an amazing tone and others follow.’
Born and raised near Belfast (a warm and welcoming Irish lilt still flows forth), plan A was to become a professional soccer player. When that didn’t pan out, he trained as a PE teacher but ‘has never taught a day of PE’, starting instead as a primary school teacher before...

Special Education Needs
TASIS England has limited facilities for students with special needs but will do all that is reasonable to comply with its legal and moral responsibilities under English law (Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001) in order to accommodate the needs of applicants who have disabilities for which, with reasonable adjustments, the school can cater adequately. TASIS provides a range of support services from lower school through upper school at an additional cost to the family. Areas of support offered include: initial assessment, speech and language services, academic support, classroom guidance, and individual counseling. TASIS does not offer a full continuum of special education programmes. Admission is contingent upon a match between the student's and the family's needs and the level of services available. For that reason, the admission of any special needs student is determined on a case-by-case basis using multiple sources of information such as school records, evaluations and interviews with students, parents and teachers. 10-09
