  • Our aim at LPSS is to enable our students, however long they are with us, to grow into kind, thoughtful and responsible citizens of the world. With this in mind, we provide all students, from Year 7 up to Year 11, with the highest levels of pastoral support, as well as academic challenge, that ensures that the school environment is nurturing and safe and therefore conducive to the highest standards of learning.
    Furthermore, we encourage students to develop in a much broader sense, through the many cultural, community, artistic, sporting and charity activities that feature prominently in our extra-curricular calendar.
    Our unique blend of curriculum programmes ensures that whilst retaining our ‘British’ connections to the UK educational system, we also offer world class internationally accredited examination programmes that enable our students to transfer between other British international schools if needed, as well as access an array of global tertiary opportunities.
