BSKL Officially Recognised as the Top British School in Malaysia

All British international schools that wish to be recognised by the UK’s department for education and obtain British Overseas School status must be inspected every three years by one of seven UK government approved inspectorates.

Following its inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in March, the British International School of Kuala Lumpur (BSKL) has been graded as excellent in all areas of educational provision, a result that is comparable to that of top UK independent schools and is unprecedented here in Malaysia.

In the final report, ISI provides an assessment of the school, specifically reporting on the following:

• Pupils’ achievements and their learning, attitudes and skills
• Curricular and extra-curricular provision
• Quality of teaching
• Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of the pupils
• Arrangements for welfare, health and safety
• Governance of the school
• Leadership and management of the school
• Links with parents, carers and guardians

The main findings from the report were that “the British International School of Kuala Lumpur meets its challenging aims in exemplary fashion. The pupils achieve excellent standards in their learning, stimulated by the high quality of teaching provided by a passionate and committed staff and a broad, innovative, literacy-led curriculum, which includes outstanding provision for music and physical education, and enables the creation of confident speakers.”
