Bangkok Patana School

The school emphasizes a broad-based, rigorous, and non-prescriptive British-based international curriculum that encourages students to become reflective, inquisitive, and critical thinkers. It is committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive community where students develop creativity, determination, and a love of learning. The school’s guiding values focus on well-being, learning, and global citizenship, aiming to prepare students as well-rounded individuals ready to play their part in society.

The school follows the British national curriculum from Foundation Stage through Year 11, culminating in (I)GCSE examinations. In Years 12 and 13, students pursue the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme or the IB Career-related Programme. The curriculum is supported by specialist teaching in subjects including languages (Thai, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Mandarin), science, mathematics, humanities, and the arts.

Students consistently achieve strong academic results, with 2025 IB Diploma candidates achieving a 99% pass rate and an average score of 35 points. In the same year, 66% of (I)GCSE grades were A-A/7-9, and 84% of grades were A-B/6-9 or higher. Graduates go on to pursue diverse pathways in higher education, including science-based courses and university programmes globally.

The school provides dedicated learning support and pastoral care systems to meet the diverse needs of its students. This includes English as an Additional Language (EAL) support, university and careers counselling, and a well-being room for primary students to engage in mindfulness and relaxation. Inclusion and welfare are overseen by specialized leadership roles to ensure students receive appropriate academic and social preparation.
